Another wide footpath sacrificed

murali772 - 20-JAN-2012

These pictures are of the 5th cross, Vth block, Koramangala, the one-way road leading up to the Canara Bank junction. The road has over the years become almost totally commercial, with any number of eateries, shops and what have you, setting up there, making it an almost one-stop destination for all kinds of products and services for a large section of the Koramangala population.

birth of a footpath

bialterminal - 17-DEC-2011

I had the privilege of watching the construction of a footpath in Southern California recently and capture some images over the few days the construction was in progress. I had always wondered how these good quality footpaths were constructed.

Hazardous installations

murali772 - 10-DEC-2011

This picture was taken on the footpath opposite Aadishwar showroom on the intermediate ring road (some 50M before the start of the Domlur fly-over ramp - approaching from Koramangala side). While such instances are not isolated across the city, what I found unique about this particular installation was its cross-arm covering almost the entire width of the footpath.

Hall of shame spot #2 - Domlur Flyover?

silkboard - 4-JUL-2011

Seeing purely from the point of view of amenities for public transport users to change buses (their direction of commute), I count Domlur Flyover also as a hall of shame spot.

Skywalk near EGL campus on Inner Ring Road Domlur Junction

dvsquare - 22-JUN-2011

As we have talked a lot about public transport as well as pedestrian friendly infrastructure, many of Prajagalu's must be aware of the fact that thousands of people cross the road in front of EGL campus/DELL office on Inner Ring Road, Domlur. Still there is no safe way and no right of way for the pedestrians.

Curious case of Blr Footpaths

srinidhi - 21-JUN-2011

Have been observing footpath related activities..especially around Basavanagudi/Hanumanth nagar area since few years..BBMP does the footpaths over and over again..this happens almost once in two years..initially there was the kuddapa stone(undressed) as the foot path..this was changed to dressed kuddapa..

This was replaced by concrete slabs few years ago

Manual ped signals

Bheema.Upadhyaya - 4-MAY-2011

I appriciate this facility by BTP/B-TRAC. This switch enables pedistrians to intervene automatic signal so that a green signal is forced for road crossing. As this seems relatively new, no one seems using it. Probably some volunteering work needed to educate users. We need more such signals at highways.

Absence of Skywalks on International Airport Road

Raghu Nandana M - 10-APR-2011

The new international airport road has no skywalks for pedestrains and neighbouring residents to cross roads at Kodigehalli Gate,Esteem Mall Junction,Dasarahalli Road(Opp Godrej Apartments),Byatarayanapura,GKVK and Kogilu-New international Airport Road junction thus jeopardising the lives of people in the surrounding areas.,Especially those using it in the night when taxis,vehicles ram in at
