All the Namma Metro Pillars
Most of the Namma Metro pillars look pretty ugly with advertisements and other hoardings on them. Instead we can try and grow creepers on them. It will not only add to the aesthetics of the place but also contribute to the green cover. I have attached a photo as an example.

Pavements
Pavements that are safe and user friendly for all types of people – children, the disabled, old, young, everyone.
-
public toilets
Introduce more public toilets which are usable.
and change the majestic bus stop and its toilets and make it not a death bed. -
Metro Station MG Road
Inside the metro station, there are transparent glasses placed on the steps instead of other forms of railing. One glass was missing on the last step, since it is transparent no one notices the missing glass. My niece fell on that step due to the missing support and if she had fallen on her left side, she would have landed 4 floors down. Even now I shudder to think of that moment. Our SAFETY is more important that ANYTHING else.

The whole city
Towards an increasing number of conscientious citizens
I would like to suggest a plan to involve school children in solving the problems of the city in the following way. The city corporation (or each ward) must launch and publicise an initiative where it establishes a complaint registering mechanism (a phone line, email id, webpage etc.) just for school children to report on the city’s problems like garbage, water leakage, road condition, traffic navigation etc. Perhaps we could start with one problem at a time. All city schools must encourage its children to be sensitive to the issue and actively register complaints through the school. Registering a complaint needs to result in an acknowledgement of some sort for record purposes and a webpage should display the number of complaints on any particular problem. Now the school and the children who are most active need to be recognised on TV or at public ceremonies by the local government agency so that it becomes an incentive. Of course, we would hope this will put more pressure on the people in power to solve the problem. But most importantly, it will make children more responsible and sensitive to problems. In a further step, the school should also encourage its students to talk to the people in power by assembling in large groups and demand answers.
I believe this initiative will progressively increase the number of conscientious citizens in the city.

flow of information

Basavanagudi
The conservancy lanes of Basavanagudi.
Looking at examples from Melbourne, Sydney and Vancouver and how they have transformed their laneways, we can see that there is so much untapped potential for these unsafe unused roads that can be reused for commercial purposes and given new functions. -
BMTC Electric Bus
The electric bus introduced by BMTC had highly positive reviews, but they were unable to implement the idea due to the high cost of the bus (about 2.8 crores). I would like to suggest a model where some affluent section of the society here can donate the bus to BMTC(donate as in still have some kind of ownership of the bus).
For example, Sandlewood stars who can afford to can donate a bus and use the same bus to promote their upcoming movies as well(i.e poster of the movie painted on the bus). So we can have a Punith Rajkumar bus and a Sudeep bus all serving to save the environment and promote their movies.

City of Bangalore
The place should be value for money – What i meant is even if Bangalore has the largest number of NRI that doesn’t mean that Bangalore is a place in USA, the fact is its still in Karnataka which is a part of India.

briefing Bangalores’ citizens
A city(or a country for that matter ) is nothing but the people who live there. So to change Bangalore:
* we have to educate people of Bangalore about better civic practices regarding trash and road discipline.
* Frame proper , practical , precise rules and implement with 0 tolerance .
* Some sort of peoples’ inspection/reporting should be there in public utility constructions like roads, drains etc. Payment must not be made to the contractor unless 10 respected people of the area certify the standard of the job done . -
Gandhinagar
This is one of the oldest area of bangalore. The roads are narrow and broken. Drainage is pathetic. Slums destroy the aesthetics. I would like roads to be repaired and tarred with highest quality of tar. A proper waste management system should be immplemented, and slums should be replaced by buildings

BWSSB
BWSSB is notorious for destroying the roads and neighborhoods all over Bangalore. They dig up roads and do a shoddy job of refilling the cavities leading to traffic snarls and total mayhem. My suggestion: Abolish the BWSSB organization and bring all the water and sewerage services under the purview of BBMP. Implement robust Change Control processes to ensure that the civic amenities are maintained with proper synergies between the departments handling roads, power, water and sewerage services. Currently, they all operate in silos rather with one body undoing what the other is doing.

Mathikere Extension, Mathikere, MS Ramaiah Nagar
Just 2 step process will significantly improve an ignored part of Bangalore called Mathikere Extension.
We need to extend the double road that originates from “Chowdeshwari bus stop” all the way to MS Ramaiah Hospital Main entrance via MJR Colony slum through MSR Nagar Road extension. This requires road widening and the proposal is in place for a long time without any movement gaining pace.
Secondly, plant more trees along the double road, I personally will provide sapling’s at my own expense if this idea kick’s off. Planting more tress once the road is widened will reduce pollution by absorbing dust and smog, will beautify and provide a shade along the boulevard.
Please help us in this cause, this will prove a lifeline to a lot of problems and improve quality of life to a couple of million people who reside here

City market
Rents are high, a lot of traffic. Sustraining oneself after a part of time is difficult.
