The BBMP will drop the plan of creating sports facilities, such as a skating rink and a basketball court, beneath the newly-constructed Sivananda Circle flyover in the heart of the city.
The decision follows strong opposition from residents who wanted the vacant space to be converted into a garden and a parking facility.
Speaking to reporters on Thursday, P N Ravindra, Special Commissioner (Projects) at BBMP, said the civic body would go ahead with the construction of a public toilet, which is currently half-done.
“We are modifying the rest of the design based on the inputs given by the residents. We are also shifting the statue of a horse (located a few steps away from the flyover) to facilitate smooth traffic flow,” he said.
