Bengaluru requires close to 953 km of new footpaths and streetlights across at least 244 km, according to suggestions received for the ‘MyCityMyBudget’ campaign that the BBMP and Janaagraha conducted.
The campaign which intended to collect citizens’ input and suggestions for the BBMP Budget 2023-24 received 16,261 responses. Most of them were about the need for better footpaths, roads, stormwater drains, and streetlights.
“Of the 16,261 responses received, 56% are from the core areas: East, West, and South. People have stressed the need for better roads, footpaths, and streetlights. BBMP has always been keen on citizen participation and we will consider these inputs while preparing the budget,” said BBMP Chief Commissioner Tushar Girinath.
