Bangalore Watch: Pedestrian Path Vs Vehicle Path
Bangalore Authorities have taken few of the streets of city in TenderSURE scheme and beautified them. St. Marks road is already developed in this scheme. Next 44 roads get facelift under this scheme. Modi Hospital road, KempeGowda road are the two streets listed in this scheme. But roads which are not in tender-sure scheme like LalBagh road footpaths are in very bad shape. A sharp contrast exists between maintenance within park and footpath outside this renowned botanical garden. Naturally majority population of 'Namma-Bengaluru' commute today on vehicles and our B.B.M.P authorities are also least bothered about pedestrian-paths called FOOT-PATHS. In future we will fight for inches and centimeters land for Roads and NO-FOOTPATH as the needs of the citizens is changing with all old vehicles getting place in www.OLX.IN and new automobiles are hitting our roads in record number.
Friends at least the if the next B.B.M.P corporation elected members show commitment and dedication to look after the needs of Bengaluru citizens, our city will have proper pedestrian paths and good roads so that commuting population will not curse any body!?
"ಎಲ್ಲರು ಗಾಡಿ ಬಂಡಿ ಯಲ್ಲಿ ಓಡಾಡುವಾಗ ನನಗೆ ಎನೂ ಕೆಲಸ" ಅಂತ FOOT -PATH Facebook, Twitter , Google + ನಲ್ಲಿ ಸ್ಟೇಟಸ್ update ಮಾಡಬಹುದು ಏನಂತೀರಾ ?
