Dust to dust: Our cycle lanes

Dust to dust: Our cycle lanes Dust to dust: Our cycle lanes ByNaveen MenezesNaveen Menezes / Updated: Jul 30, 2021, 06:00 IST ORR can’t get around the bollards, sand and silt gathers on the cycle lanes Many were the accolades showered on the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike ( BBMP) for building a cycle lane on most parts of the Outer Ring Road between KR Puram and Central Silk Board, a first-of-its-kind in the City. Alas, it seems the praise had arrived in haste. The civic body as is sometimes its wont, forgot about cleaning the cycle lane on regular basis. The result: Sand and silt has accumulated on many parts of the cycle lane, endangering the lives of cyclists.

The dread walk

The dread walk As Nandi Durga Road, residents demand Palike widen the two-metre-wide path The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has taken up a project to develop and improve the footpaths along Nandi Durga Road. The project covering the one-and-a-half-kilometre stretch is estimated to cost Rs 2 crore. If the width of the footpath along the compound of Archbishop’s House is any indication, the civic body is interested in spending the tax-payer’s money but does not care about the welfare of pedestrians as they construct footpaths in the City. The BBMP engineer incharge of this footpath claimed that its width is more than a metre and it is pedestrian-friendly but residents disagree.
