problems

  • Underpass construction cut off pedestrian links between Srirampura, Venkateshpura, Sampigehalli & Jakkur villages.

  • Haphazard traffic junctions and unsafe blind spots at the MCECHS layout.

  • No safe, continuous footpaths across the area.

  • BBMP playgrounds and open spaces are neglected, lacking seating/play amenities.

  • Vendors and locals have no organized spaces; hawkers are scattered, blocking access.

  • Railway-adjacent areas are littered with waste, no green buffers or dog shelters.

  • Poor lighting and signage make it unsafe, especially at night.

SOLUTIONS

  • Inclusive kattes with multilingual (Kannada/English/Hindi) braille/tactile signage

  • Jakkur ground sports hub: basketball/volleyball courts, jogging track, kids’ play

  • Graffiti art on boundary walls, transformers, and entry murals

  • Heritage house revived as community museum

  • Bamboo plantations for natural shading, noise/air purification

  • Covered drains, dustbins, and percolation pits around trees

  • Upgraded bus/auto stands, rainwater shelters, and cycle parking

  • Hawker zones for peri-urban vendors with toilets/water access

  • Social & Dignity: Preserved kattes + heritage museum restore belonging for all users

  • Health & Hygiene: Drains/toilets/dustbins end disease risks (dengue/cholera)

  • Placemaking: Sports hub + graffiti murals create vibrant, people-centric destinations

  • Economic Dignity: Hawker zones uplift peri-urban vendors with shade/water access

  • Safety/Mobility: CCTV/lighting/roundabouts ensure secure, fluid movement

  • Environment: Bamboo purification + percolation pits build resilience
