Fear and Tender S.U.R.E

srinidhi - 20-MAR-2019

First would like to start with saying that Tender SURE was indeed a ground breaking effort, literally too, in many ways. Uniform Carriage way and few other principles which are new and commendable.

However the original Tender SURE and the other versions thereafter like the BBMP version of  TenderSURE 'Lite'...

Asphalt Milling? whats that?

srinidhi - 6-JAN-2014

So its a tale of two roads where tar is being relaid in our city now..

  • Double road/KH road which has a new coat of tar
  • Mysore road flyover where the road is being relaid

KH road work started last week and a nice thick coat of tar is already laid. However the Mysore road flover work started 2 weeks ago and is not half done yet!

Total disarray in governance?

BDA makes a well planed layout with roads for proper connectivity. BBMP has the audacity to issue a khata for the public road to a company owned by former chief minister Yeddyurappa (Sons), who in turn block, a BDA road!

Bangalore's Big Dig Dream?

Ravi_D - 4-JUN-2010

This DH Report on 10/May notes: "The State government has long-term plans to build tunnel roads in the City to ease traffic congestion" said ..... Minister R Ashok on Monday.

Consider this against the effort spent reducing the length of Namma Metro Under Ground alignment.

Binny Mills to KG Bus Stand is one such tunnel road being discussed. Fortunately, "the proposals are in preliminary stage and nothing concrete has emerged so far, he said".    

BTW, Namma metro's west bound UG alignment is not too far away!
