idontspam - 25-MAR-2012

Some good work being done here proactively by citizens of Malleshwaram around the new mall thats coming up in the area... 

 

Some preliminary problems that we saw at Orion mall:

Feeder Bus Service - Malleswaram Example

rs - 20-OCT-2011

This Feeder Bus service is a very good idea. I hope it is successful. But how about suggesting to BMTC to create a local Feeder bus service in several areas. For example. In Mall-eswaram, there will soon be two huge Malls at both ends - Mantri and Brigade. They could provide a service which goes as follows.

Sankey Road Trees Chopped-off overnight after a secret auction

Bengloorappa - 2-JUL-2011

Sadly and expectedly BBMP has gone ahead and done what its best at. It has in a unilateral, self-serving, spur of the moment, authoritarian manner chopped off 17 of the 19 beautiful trees on Sankey Road starting as early as 1:30 am on Friday morning before a stay could be obtained on the remaining 2 trees by 6pm.

The Sankey Road case study

silkboard - 29-JUN-2011

Wiki page to hold together related posts on Sankey Tank Bund Road widening related developments. The project should be a good case study to understand how BBMP conceives, communicates and executes transportation related projects. Citizens of the impacted area say the project is not justified, BBMP says otherwise. Both sides say they have data on vehicle traffic to defend their stands.

Garbage Bump by so called educated People @ Malleshwaram

ranga - 19-MAR-2011

Just look at the photo attached, this is 7th Main Road, between 9th and 10th cross malleswaram, the garbage and some filth is lying here for the past couple of days and not being cleaned up by BBMP.

Say no to widening of trees-lined Sankey Road Petition

indian - 13-MAY-2010

The proposed six-lane corridor is expected to result in chopping of about 150 well-grown trees. The widening entails felling of about 150 trees on both sides of the stretch, besides occupying a good portion of the historic tank. It'll/It'd destroy the beauty of one of the posh localities of the City.

Bad Planning by Mantri Mall Malleswaram

ranga - 21-MAR-2010

Quite a few days back i wrote about the Bad planning of Bigbazaar, where their were very less parking space made available and the vehicles hundreds of them parked on the road or adjecent bylanes, creating major traffic jams in that area.

Now it is the turn of Mantri Mall @ Malleswaram, in the weekend of last week and this week, the entire area is in a  mess, by 4 pm in the evening( when i crossed that area) , the mall has put a sign board saying the parking is full. You can see hundreds of vehicles both two wheelers and four wheelers being parked in the adjacent roads, creating traffic jam, which amounted to about 45 mins of travel for a short distance of half a  KM. You can see people with vehicles arguing with the police and the mall's security guards for parking.

BMTC - New route for Sanjaynagar/Malleswaram areas

idontspam - 17-JAN-2010

There has been a long pending demand from the residents of Sanjaynagar, Bhoopasandra, UAS Layout and Nagashettyhalli to connect these areas to Malleshwaram and Yeswantpur via low floor buses. The Hospitals on this route usually serve aged and infirm and need a low floor service
