The K-100 project in Bengaluru, once envisioned as a showcase of urban development, has now become an eyesore due to multiple unresolved issues. The project, which promised to transform the city's landscape, remains incomplete and is already suffering from neglect and misuse.
Stormwater Problems
Stormwater has been observed joining the waterway near Nala Road, raising concerns about drainage and flooding. The lack of proper stormwater management has led to waterlogging in several areas.
Unsupervised Spots Turn into Nuisance
Several unsupervised spots along the project corridor have become hubs for smoking, drinking, and urination. These areas, intended for public use, are now avoided by residents due to safety and hygiene concerns.
Bridge Usage Issues
People are using bridges in many areas to cross to the other side, indicating a lack of proper pedestrian crossings or designated pathways. This not only poses safety risks but also undermines the project's design.
Incomplete Infrastructure
The proposed office and ticket counter near Shantinagar bus stand have not been completed, leaving a key component of the project unfinished. This has affected the overall functionality and user experience.
