City Planner - Metroquest

Vasanth - 19-MAY-2009

I found an interesting tool on the cityfix.com on urban planning. You can plan the real city for 40 years.

Our city agencies like BBMP, BMLTA etc can use tools like this and we praja can explore the possibilities. I could not get a chance to get into the tool in detail. Just wanted Praja members to know about this.

Storm water drain in Bilekahalli

bvijayk - 19-MAY-2009

The BBMP has been constructing a storm water drain across the Ranka Colony road in Bilekahalli off the Bannerghatta Road. This project was started in 2008 and still there are no signs of this project getting completed in 2009. This drain is to carry the water flowing from J.P.Nagar area to the Bommanahalli lake without flooding the roads enroute.

psaram42 - 16-MAY-2009

 The latest version of Google earth has introduced a new feature of viewing the earth at different periods of time, starting with the year 2000.

Biggest parking lot at Shantinagar TTMC !?!!

blrsri - 16-MAY-2009

From todays TOI

" TTMC at Shanthinagar will have one of the city’s largest parking spaces with a capacity to hold 525 cars and 742 two-wheelers."

The last time I went to shantinagar busstop was for attending the meeting with BMRCL..There was plenty of parking vacant on a weekday..I am sure its the same case on weekends too..
