janiannapurna - 18-APR-2011
Hi All, There have been proposals for Hoodi Railway Overbridge that I believe is already approved by the government. But I haven't heard anything on when the actual work will start. Had asked the railway crossing operator for the same and he said it will take few months. |
Bangalore to Whitefield on Pushpulls shyamm - 27-NOV-2010
Though my office is in Electronic City, for a new project I had to visit our company's branch office in GRTechPark, Whitefield for 3 days. This building is next to ITPL. I had to take public transport on all 3 days to reach the office in the afternoons while the drop back home would be provided on the company cab as it would be late in the night. |
Metro digging work on ITPL road, Whitefield !? silkboard - 26-AUG-2010
Did anyone else notice the serious digging work going on around ITPL/Mahadevapura main road? This isn't some here and there soil testing type thing, they are making a continuous long trench on the north sidewalk of the main road going to ITPL. What's up? Phase-1 extension till ITPL - just can't be? Or has Phase-2 work begun now? Could be something else. Some pictures: |
Wrong entry by motorists causing dangerous situation at new Kadugodi flyover Ramesh Menon - 17-AUG-2010
The new flyover at Kadugodi opposite to Brindavan ashram is proving a great help to all commuters in terms of saving time and travel comfort. However, a minor design flaw has already created a dangerous driving situation there. Drivers, especially of autos and bikes are wrongly entering the bridge without taking the u-turn designated for them causing accidents. |

A perfect Bus Day this time, almost! silkboard - 14-JUN-2010
It certainly got better for me this time. Can't take the bus regularly to work because of the last mile problem (HAL airport to CV Raman Nagar, no bus, no shuttles to rely upon). So the Bus Days for me are Auto rickshaw haggle days as well. But not this time. 314AA, a new route, goes all the way from Whitefield to Bagmane Tech Park. Too good to be true, but I was at my bus stop at 8.25, and a 314AA showed up at 8.30 am (as was told and promised by 'someone'). Nice Marco Polo equipment, 12 Rs only all the way to Bagmane Tech Park, aha! The route is an iffy one though. Airport Road is one thing, and Kaggadaspura Main Road another. Spent 20-25 minutes (!!) to cross the narrow stretch near Railway crossing, and reached Bagmane bus stand only at 9.40 am. Got off 314AA, and hopped on to the Tech Park shuttle which circles inside the campus every 5-10 minutes. 9.50, in my office. Route Map here, red dot is where the that 25 minute jam happened. |
Wanted - park/lung space in whitefield area silkboard - 26-MAY-2010
Amidst the barrage of not to this and no to that posts, here is an "I need this" instead. Whitefield has seen relentless concretization in last 4-5 years. Nice roads, the best pavements, tech parks, and housing complexes. But life is not all about living, commuting and working. We need to play, mingle around and relax as well. For that, need some serious public space, or a large new park. Center of the city has plenty of these, but it takes too much time to go to Cubbon Park or Lalbagh or Freedom Park now. Whitefield area has a few lakes, and new recreational amenities can be developed around a few of those. We know that a large park will not bring any white or black money to BBMP or BDA, and that is probably why concrete is the flavor of the decade in Bangalore. If you live around Whitefield, leave your comment with words of support, and we will figure how to take this request forward with local corporators or MLA or BBMP/BDA. |
