Greater Bengaluru Authority Proposes Road Network Around Lakes Raising Environmental Concerns
The Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) has proposed a network of roads around lakes and stormwater drains to ease traffic congestion and improve connectivity. While these roads could boost real estate development by opening previously inaccessible land, concerns have been raised about potential disruption to natural water flows, increased flooding risks, and impacts on Bengaluru's shrinking blue-green spaces. The proposed alignments, ranging from 9 to 30 meters wide, are set to be integrated into the Revised Master Plan 2015 after a 60-day public objection period.
