Every time I pass Intermediate Ring Road from Domlur to Koramangala, or the other way around, I’m literately pissed at the unkept payment. It’s a sheer waste of space, an opportunity lost for the caretakers, etc.
An idea to Beautify Intermediate Ring Road?
Just like me, don’t you deserve a better view? After all you’re living in a garden city, paying a premium rent, or just bought an expensive apartment, or you’re taking international guest to your office, and you don’t want the guest the plight of the road.
Can you do something to transform this road a remarkable one? You can do it, I can do it, they can do it. But, no one does it.
We appear to be blind at the sight of overgrown plants on the payment, organic waste, building waste being dumped on this road, we do nothing about it. Oh, how I wish someone wake up to change the way it looks. Probably, give it a real facelift. Probably, it can be a model road for other roads in India to follow.
Here my wish list for this road:
- No plastic, no litter, and absolutely no honking, or over speeding
- Make flower bed on the entire 3 – 4 km stretch ( Geraniums or Petunias, my favorite flowers)
- Neat footpath for people to jog, walk ( No overgrown plants or grass)
- Absolutely no waste dumping
- Camera to cover all sides of the road
Now if it happens!
Clean sidewalks will attract walkers, joggers, lovers and friends to stroll. Also, more employees working in Embassy Golf link, will talk the healthy option – walk from Embassy Golf links to Ejipura. After all walking is the perfect way to rejuvenate after sitting all day in the office.
Request to you, or the Corporator in charge of this area!
Please take the initiative to tidy this road. It would be great if you can talk to companies situated in EGL park for funds and make the change. Here’s my plan without using Government funds:
- Form a team of like-minded people keen in this project
- Make sure, all people are laser sharp about its objective
- Develop a plan (blueprint) on how to achieve the goal
- Create an elevator pitch, website, blog, Facebook, or Instagram profile
- Share the story, interview people, finalize the objective
- Create interesting piece of content, everyday and share it
- Create videos, pics of the locality
- Open a bank account
- Approach all the companies in EGL with your elevator pitch ( Tell what’s it for them)
- Next start a Kickstarter campaign for 10 lakh funding
- Recruit gardeners, employees for the upkeep of the place ( 10 + jobs created)
- Get the permission from the Government, Army ( This should be the first)
- Get the support of the Corporator of this area ( Rope them in to the goal)
- Gain maximum publicity through online channels
- Use the funds to install proper lighting, security cameras, pay employees
- Maintain a system to run it all through the air
It will cost good money to maintain it, but it will be a good change for the Bangaloreans and people who pass by each day. Besides, this plan if executed can give employment to 10 plus people. People who will work as gardeners, cleaners, security, etc.
Just dreaming!
