Naveen - 13-NOV-2007

Hi All ! BMRC has responded to my RTI queries(See comment below). It is clear that they have squarely made the Urban development dept in-charge of the more serious issues raised in the letter. As they have stated, suggestions made in the CTTP will be followed, subject to govt's approval. Metro Phase-2 is planned from Whitefield to Indiranagar & EC to Yelahanka.

OMR jam's

blrsri - 13-NOV-2007

The OMR users will face the benniganhalli RUB bottle neck every day. The reason is the RUB is a two lane bridge which caters to a 6 lane traffic! This leads to a miniumum of 30-40 min of clutch banging session and after that people have to endear another jam on the ORR below the cable stayed bridge because of a truck break down. At the RUB, the cops have implmented innovative traffic handling where they stop traffic on one side for 20 min to let the other side use the bridge..this is not done regulary so we end up in a jam most days.. Is there any plans of upgrading this bridge?

silkboard - 12-NOV-2007

A good shortcut from Banerghatta road to Hosur road might be possible sometime soon. I dont really know the location of all the villages and layouts mentioned, but looks like BBMP is upgrading and asphalting a lot of roads in the Bommanahalli/Begur, Arekere area. Sample some:

- Improvements and Asphalting to road from Begur road to Hosur main road via Hongasandra Garvebavipalya (1st Main Road) - 30 lakhs.

- Improvements and Asphalting the Devarachikkanahalli main road (Begur road connecting Vijayabank layout) - 30 lakhs.

BIAL Rail options

BIAL connectivity - ORR as tolled or access controlled road?

silkboard - 8-NOV-2007

If you look at it, the delayed and much hyped BIAL expressway would anyway not solve the connectivity issue. The problem would be in getting to the point in ORR from where BEL Road/NH7 or this expressway would emerge. What you need is quick way for folks to get out from the center or east/south/western corners of the city.
