Tired of looking for safe place to park your car every time you go out? The Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has drawn a plan to introduce 13 Automated Verticular Car Parking Towers across the city. The proposal is expected to become a� reality in another six months.

BBMP has identified 13 locations- Russel Market, Race Course Road, Freedom Park, Upparpet Police Station, Majestic (Near Sukh Sagar), MTR, Domlur, BBMP head office premises, Hosmat Hospital, Magrath Road, Hockey Stadium, Gandhi Bazar. Bangalore Traffic Police are committed to enforce ‘no parking’ zones around the tower locations, once the parking lot is started.

According to BBMP Standing Committee (Town Planning) chairman C K Ramamurthy,� Hyderabad-based Bhrigu Realty and Telco Automotive Limited (TAL) has been entrusted with the construction work. The automated towers will be built under public-private-partnership (PPP). The parking tower will be 10-storey building and around 400 cars can be parked. He said that they have proposed a parking policy for Bangalore, which will be placed before the monthly Council meeting.
“After the Council approves, the project report will be sent to the Directorate of Urban Land Transport (DULT) for further approval.” Ramamurthy further explained that construction of towers would not take much time as it is made out of steel and it only has to be arranged.

REVENUE
The company expects to earn revenue from parking fees as well as advertising on the exterior walls of the towers. According to official sources, advertisement hoarding will cover the building from outside, making it look like a regular building. “We are expecting to earn at least Rs 60 crore through advertisements,” Ramamurthy said.

The process
Automated Verticular system involves a vehicle being lifted up to a parking level using an elevator shaft, and retrieved down similarly. Vehicles will be stacked on top of each other and users will get a parking token through automated system, facilitating a transparent mode of operation

Key civic projects in cold storage

BANGALORE: Hassle-free parking and commuting may still remain a distant dream in the city. BBMP has put most of its ambitious projects in cold storage because of acute funds crunch. However, there's hope for some of them.

BBMP engineer in-chief BT Ramesh told TOI that despite the crunch, some vital projects will be put on fast track and that list is being prepared. "On yearly basis, we have plans to take up some of the projects. Not all will be affected because of less finances," he said.

The Palike had plans to construct automated multi-level parking facilities at Malleswaram, Gandhi Bazar, KR Market and Freedom Park area to decongest roads choked with 6.75 lakh four-wheelers and 11.25 lakh two-wheelers. This, and the signal-free corridor project, planned to bail commuters out of harrowing traffic snarls, have gone into the shelves.

Over the Rs 5,000 crore was estimated for construction of 12 signal-free corridors across the city a year ago, but the project is yet to take off.

To lessen the burden on BBMP, of the 12 roads identified for widening, two stretches were handed over to BDA - the City Centre to Kengeri via Sirsi Circle (15.5km) and Cubbon Road to Outer Ring Road via Kamaraj Road (8km).

Yet another project affected is construction of a metal bridge on stilts between Minerva and Hudson Circles. The four-lane steel bridge was proposed for Rs 17.5 crore. The 4-lane bridge - 16 metres wide and 310 metres long - would have connected commuters from Race Course Road, Gururaj Kalayana Mantapa towards Harikrishna Road and Seshadripuram railway underbridge. However, there has been no sign of the project taking off for the past one year.

12 signal-free corridors

* Dr Rajkumar Road from Yeshwantpur junction to Okalipuram (5km)

* Chord Road from Mysore Road junction to CV Raman Road (10.5km)

* Magadi Road from Chord Road to Outer Ring Road (3.5km)

* Mysore Road junction to Central Silk Board junction (14.5km)

* Central Silk Board junction to Vellara junction (6km)

* Bannerghatta Road, from IIM-B to Wilson Garden (9.5km)

* Vellara junction to Whitefield via Varthur and HAL (13.5km)

* Agara lake to Sirsi Circle via Lalbagh Fort Road (8.5km)

* City Centre to Kengeri via Sirsi Circle (15.5km)

* Yeshwantpur industrial area to Hebbal, between NH-4 and NH-7, (6.5km)

* Mehkri Circle to Benniganahalli via Jayamahal Road (12.5km)

* Cubbon Road to ORR via Kamaraj Road, Buddhavihar Road, Hennur Road (7km)
