First n foremost, all the ppl of basavangudi need to come together and submit a petition to demolish basavangudi flyover and tagore underpass. Both are symbols of the highest corruption. They have changed the character of basavangudi
Pedestrianising roads, is actually benficial for the shops in the long run. Because, when there is no traffic, more people will flock to the place. Its been done in all major european cities.
No they don't, that is a main road. Blocking that road will cause huge traffic problems. That was my college road. If that road is blocked, i wil have to go another way and wouldn't bother stopping there for any shops . Instead they should focus on making more parking spots and make them more accessible
All major European cities also have open and hidden brothels. While not all European cities have as much population and vehicle density as it is here. Putting western templates as solution to all Indian problems can cause unseen catastrophes.
Simple pedestrianization of a small stretch of the Gandhi Bazaar Main Road will not solve any problems. It will only divert traffic from the wide main road on to the smaller roads which are already congested. So people in the comments saying why locals are opposing pedestrianization should understand the issues. If this is just to copy European cities, then first go and study how those cities are managing their traffic if they pedestrianize a street. Pedestrianizing a small by-lane is not a problem, but we are talking about Gandhi Bazaar Main Road which is a main arterial road through Basavanagudi.
Why are people opposing pedestrianisation? Do they want noise, pollution and congestion created by vehicles? In all cities where pedestrianisation has been carried out, the citizens, vendors as well as shop keepers find carefree streets are much better. The present opposition appears to be misguided. If benefits of car free are explained by the authorities and supportive NGOs people will support this excellent initiative.

It would be a good idea to remove useless flyover and underpass, alongside evacuate the encroachment on footpaths and pushcarts which will help and ease pediatrician movement and vehicular movement. Use the BBMP market to accomodate fruit, flower and Vegitable vendors. Shop owners would be benefitted with good business too. If it is pediatrician.zone only then it's more likely the entire stretch could be encroached and licenced seller's in the shopping complex may have to windup due to lack of business. Encroached vendors use tax payers money in form of free rent, electricity etc. Reap benifits at cost of legal vendors and local residents
The best and the most important development that is needed in Gandhi Bazaar is to clear all the hawkers and encroachments on the footpath. That would solve 90% of the traffic congestion and nuisance caused to the general public. Hope the protesters take note.
Why does bbmp want to modernize and 'develop' every other road and destroy the cultural heritage value of the place. Does every road have to be modern and characterless like foreign cities?
They'll figure out to bribe the inspectors for less than 500 and will expand even more...get it? Make them feel cared, by truly taking care of their livelihood and most problems will diminish towards everyone's betterment. Unless going by your way of colonial mindset of dictating terms will only make things worse. Were 75 years from being independent, but still act like ghulaams of the administrators of the people's government, which is a big mindset shift that needs to take place, but that's not coming until everyone sits under one thoughtful umbrella and figure out the best solution. My advice to everyone is, start thinking beyond just their needs and look after each others needs, which is actually simple but everyone wants a quicker lifestyle so things won't change for good. Its time for people to spread outside of the city and begin "living" their lives harmoniously than cutting each others throat to quench their thirst. Choice is everyone's, very few do and most suffer, that's the ultimate fact of life.
@@RoamMeYo freedom doesn't mean encroachment. Freedom means live and let live. If footpaths are cleared out then they can plan single side parking and single side traffic.
Useless and highly corrupt BBMP should concentrate on removing footpath encroachments around the city which is a lot of inconvenience to the senior citizens. There is nexus between corrupt corporators and equally corrupt BBMP officials!
Last time Uday Garudachar's firm set out to build multilevel parking facilities in Bengaluru and Mysuru, both places miraculously became Garuda malls. Don't disturb Gandhi Bazaar and ruin the ecosystem there.
Like London and other European cities leave the heritage intact. Instead charge a congestion fee for vehicles entering rather than just demolishing beautiful old buildings and widening roads. The roads widened today will become not broad enough tomorrow. A classic example is the Hebbal Fly Over which has become a disaster in just a decade
Gandhi Bazar is quintessential Bengaluru. I have seen it in pictures from the time country gained independence. Civic bodies making up new projects to dig-destroy-laugh their way to the bank. It will spend more time being dug up or pitiful state than serving the people.
The underpass near KRpark and flyover near national collage have destroyed the e wide road which could have been made 4 lanes easily.now in eitherside it is very narrow ,PPL going towards gandhibazar find it cumbersome ..they have spoiled the whole locality without proper planning. Even inalleswaram, the underpass is aweful. Before it was a good wide road with lots of trees .
Dear Gandhi Bazaarians, Please walk a mile to your south and enter Jayanagar. When it was designed this extension was vaunted as the best planned suburb of Asia. Today it is a mess of chaotic traffic, each family’s cars taking up more road space than it has house space, corrupt or blind authorities watching corrupt or irresponsible builders illegally appropriating footpath and road space with their dangerous spill-over of building material, waste snd watchmen quarters, uncollected trash everywhere - meaning EVERYWHERE, autorikshaws, hawkers, parking themselves as they please where they please, unclaimed vehicles abandoned BY THE POLICE in every road ( they say there is no place in Bengaluru to store/ trash/ whatever them, and . . . I could go on forever. And no one is responsible or accountable. Not our MLA. She is busy ladying at as the head of Youth Mahila Congress. Not our MP. He is busy lording it as the head of the Bharathiya Janatha Yuva Morcha. Not the Police. Each of their fingers point in different directions, towards the Corporation, the Traffic Police, the political bosses, the unmentionables. Not the Corporation. It is busy hiding its reasons for hiring absolutely corrupt and useless contractors. Not the Authorities. They are busy trying to hide from the public that though they have all the authority they have nil power to do anything in this most corrupt of cities in the most corrupt of States. Why I am saying this is that, if Gandhi Bazaar ( which is deteriorating very fast) has to retain some of its cultural and workable structure please keep the carwallahs, builderwallahs, ‘development’wallahs out. Go forward ( we cannot ho back in time) to those earlier pedestrian friendly, quieter, pleasanter shopping times. Or sooner than later you will turn as uncivilized, trashy, encroachments thick, ugly and lawless as Jayanagar has bevome.
In that way our two lane Mangalore Bangalore road will remain till 100 decades. If the footpath traders resist. Every week nearly 8 huge traffic accidents happen in this route
Our school. MMV had a wide road with lots of trees with wide foot path.they have spoiled the area with ugly flyover with no road to go to left lane. The underpass near B'gudi police station is the ugliest and spoiled the whole area.
I stayed in hb samaja road for more than a decade. parking solution is required desperately. It's chaotic during festival times when shop goers park carelessly blocking the house gates. There will be "no parking" boards in front of banks where it should be allowed by common sense. Cops will be waiting in front of the SBI bank who will first lift your car and then announce it on the mic for a quick payment. It's faster than SBI ATM 🤣
Deviating traffic from the existing wide road and loading it to the adjacent residential streets which are not more than 15' doesnt sound like a good plan. This idea will work if there is a proper master plan to these problems.
I think it is a waste to redevelop a place. Just repair the roads and footpaths and clean up the places and it will look good. The money should be spent on the new areas where population hasn't settled yet. Redevelopment does bring chaos.
Can somebody tell me Is it legal to set up shops on the footpaths?BTW making a pedestrian-friendly road will really be helpful and further become an example in INDIA. Just like church street in Bengaluru which is pedestrian on if I am not wrong Saturday and Sunday. We are already seeing good quality infrastructure or roads in the central business district of Bengaluru, it will be great if it happens in the South of Bengaluru as well. Please don't stop it, it is going to help in future and reduce pollution and noise pollution even if it is for a shorter distance eventually when more of these pedestrian roads are built it will help. Like nobody wants to see a grey sky every day right? Pedestrian roads are all over Europe and it has barely impacted anybody , over here people should think about developing and not keeping everything as it is just because it is a old road and is heritage .If there was some historical monument or something then it would have made sense not to redevelop.
Having shops on footpaths is illegal. However, in a few cases like Gandhi Bazar, the BBMP has issued licenses to set up these shops. Some sort of fees is collected by these vendors and there is some sort of procedure for the allotment of the license like an auction and the permission is also for a certain number of years.
Stop comparing India to Europe, its a totally different culture and whole different on population scale. Not every part of a city can be a central business district, and church street isn't anywhere like Gandhi bazaar road. Church street is a narrow by lane along side mg road, not the same apply to the main road of Gandhi bazaar. Pedestrian lane is important, so is road traffic and even street side vendors. Hawkers are humans too and are there to serve other fellow humans, so helping them make a better living is everyones responsibility, not just for high income people as they think like they are next to Gods. This is just like dictatorship and not communicating with the locals to understand and provide what they need, from their own tax money.

But y destroy the inherent culture and age old heritage value. Y should it become like Europe. Indian places have their own identity

If pedestrianized, traffic load will become more on adjacent roads which is already high. During festivals, it will be a chaos.
