Skywalks Proposed and Bus Stops Relocated in Bengaluru

In a bid to decongest the city and streamline pedestrian and vehicular movement, the Bengaluru Traffic Police have proposed construction of skywalks at 101 locations across the capital and suburban corridors. The authority has also relocated 103 unscientifically placed bus stops and identified and rectified 137 chronic waterlogging spots on a priority basis across several wards. The Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) has been told that these proposals will be placed in the authority's upcoming budget and necessary provisions are being made to take up the works in the next financial plan and to coordinate with local agencies.

The GBA chief commissioner M Maheshwar Rao indicated that several waterlogging-prone areas are being addressed through accelerated drainage works. Pipe-pushing technology is being deployed to expedite underground drainage works in localities such as Sindhoor Chowltary and Yelahanka, with the works expected to be completed before the onset of the monsoon. Officials are targeting significant progress by June to reduce the risk of seasonal flooding.

Alongside the physical upgrades, the civic body is planning strict measures to enforce environmental compliance during the summer months. A reward-and-penalty mechanism has been introduced to curb garbage burning, offering members of the public who report instances of waste burning a reward of Rs250. Authorities have warned that strict action will be taken against any staff found involved in such violations.

The combined measures are aimed at improving urban mobility, addressing persistent flooding issues and ensuring better environmental compliance across the city. Planners expect that the relocation of bus stops and the construction of skywalks will ease pedestrian flows and reduce traffic bottlenecks at key junctions. Funding allocations and implementation schedules will be finalised as part of the next financial plan to deliver the targeted outcomes and ensure sustained benefits for residents and businesses citywide over the medium term.
