A senior BBMP official said, “We have proposed constructing BPL along the nine high-density corridors. A private agency is currently designing, and once done, we will float tenders for the project. The lane will be as per the width of the road. Where the roads are wide, we will incorporate the bicycle lane as well.”
The previous government had approved the project on December 17, 2022. Though the original project included 12 corridors, three were left out as Metro works were ongoing. The previous government had handed over the project to KRDCL for development and maintenance, but there was severe resistance from the BBMP. Subsequently, the government handed it over to BBMP.
