The Food Street or Thindi Beedhi as we locals call it should be made into a pedestrian only street beyond 7pm. Atleast on weekends. This would encourage the shops to put out tables and chairs and make it quite like the Chinatown food streets around the world and make it safer for everyone there.

Rajanakunte, Yelahanka, Bangalore.
When I moved from Boston, US to Bangalore I thought living in the suburbs would be similar to US. But after I built my house at Rajanakunte near Yelahanka I found that there were no facilities available. So I have locked the 7 bedroom mansion I built there and live in a small 2 bedroom flat in the city in Malleswaram with my wife & 3 children.
The issue is, if you are going to decongest the city you need to build planned suburbs with all amenities accessible without having to go to the city, as in the developed countries. For Bangalore this would mean building Ring Roads every 10km to circle the city along with Ring Railway Tracks. Radial Roads & Railway lines should connect suburbs to the city. Along with this should be power, water & sewage lines to create a self-sufficient suburbia consisting of Residential/Commercial areas, Schools, Colleges, Hospitals, Malls, Shopping Centers, etc.
But there is no such planning of suburbs and hence Bangalore is bursting at the seams. It is overcrowded, polluted, congested, dirty and filthy. When will BBMP shed its myopic mentality and get the big picture?

neighbourhood management
Residents can form clubs in their respective areas and put forth the problem areas to the resp authority. .The corporator should hold fortnightly meetings in public and discuss the issues/progress. The respective MNC’s and corporate offices in the area should acitvely participate in the development. The contractors,government employees who do an outstanding job should be appreciated and those who don’t do their license or job should be taken away in public view after giving them a second chance.

Hebbal Lake and surrounding area
Clean up the lake.
Create pathways all around the lake for public access so they can use it for walks, jogs, cycling.
Clear all the garbage dumps around the area. -
Ramamurthy Nagar
This is more to do with rain water flowing off via drains. I would like to have a system in place (similar to RWH) which is more of a goodness to the eco rather than individuals. We could have RWH made on sideways and on roads to tap the rain water and give it back to mother earth. I do have more ideas, and can be discussed further in depth in our successive discussions.

All the Artery and sub artery Roads
One of the main problem while on road is pollution ( Vehicular Emission + Stray Dust on road sides) vehicular emission may disperse in to atmosphere after few minutes but the stray dust will settle back on ground which gets recirculated every time it gets disturbed by vehicular movement or by blowing wind.
The way I see it can be solved is by using industrial vaccum cleaners ( USA uses these in many cities to suck up the dust and debries) In contrast sweeping by BBMP employees will not remove the fine sand which gets accumulated on the edge of the road but they either put it on the median or on the foot path which will come back to the road when air blows. Please refer the link below which provides some of the road sweeping machines.http://www.tr.all.biz/en/machines-road-sweeper-collector-bgg1078163
The fine sand collected can be resued for consturction etc…

This should be preserved as it was the first closed circuit wind tunnel built in India – quite a feat at the time!

Airlines
Although it is already in the process of shutting down/already has shut down, I wish it hadn’t. Airlines is still one of the only cafes where you can sit under decades old banyan trees, order dosa and coffee (now oilier and pricier) than before from your car but was, is still worth it. It also has diverse customers, that change by time of day (college kids bunking classes throughout, older walkers eating breakfast in the morning, mums bringing their kids in for icecream in the afternoon, office crowd in the evening, etc. etc.)
