Shivakumar has already announced that an expert committee would be constituted to prepare a master plan or a blueprint for comprehensive development of Bengaluru city in six months. The deputy chief minister noted that during his meeting with the MLAs, officers, and brand ambassadors of Bengaluru, they had suggested high-density corridors, expansion of metro connectivity, monorail, suburban rail, road widening, elevated roads, conversion of NICE Road into Ring Road, and construction of tunnel roads in the city to control the traffic.
Their suggestions pertained to cleanliness, environment, waste disposal and sewage management, sewage treatment and recycling, Kaveri water supply, development of slum area, efficient administration and corruption control, he said.
Noting that, he also decided to go to the house of some senior leaders and discuss Bengaluru development. Shivakumar said that he has met former chief ministers and has to meet some more. “I had asked for former chief minister Basavaraj Bommai’s time, but could not meet, because he was busy.”
Observing that he will seek the opinion of retired traffic police officials regarding traffic congestion, as suggestions based on experience will carry “more weight”, he said that a suggestion has been received about the construction of tunnel roads in Bengaluru. “Political will is important for the development of the city.”
The government plans to prepare a separate plan for road potholes, Shivakumar said. He has also held a meeting of officials on waste disposal.
“We have decided to visit and study the places that are doing good management in this regard. Officials have given information about good waste management in many places including Chennai, Indore. We need to make a long-term plan for this,” he added.
