Bangalore is fast losing its green cover in the name of easing traffic congestion. What bothers citizens is that other options to road widening are not being considered and their pleas are ignored. They’re also angry that the BBMP has not kept its promise of planting saplings to make up for the loss. Better planning would have helped the city retain its green cover.

With the help of Hercules helicopter

idea posted by Sharad Gupta Software Developer, Tripura Technologies, Hyderabad

Hire an Hercules helicopter from the Army (which can lift an Army tank weighing around 70 tonnes) . Lift the trees and plant them at a safe place. This is routinely done in foreign countries.

I am so happy & I would like to thank Mr. Sharad Gupta for thinking about not cutting the trees. I agree with Mr. Vidhu Dar's & Sharad Guptas ideas.

Wow Sharad, Why isn't any of the authorities have this idea?

Add your argument:

Begin from extreme ends

idea posted by Ravindra Sharma Managing Consultant, CHEF-India

Normally in India Roads are widened from middle to sides.Meaning if total width allocated is 50 units they would make a road starting middle and gradually make it wider by adding on sides. Instead if we develop and complete sides first the trees planted on sides and middle would not require to be uprooted.

Right. China has been doing so for well over a decade. They uproot a fully grown tree and transplant it where it is needed more.

Great idea Narayan..Plant them in the middle instead of at the sides. Probably we can also begin research on flying cars which is still at conceptual stage so that we need not think of widening roads. Each of us can script a chitty chitty bang bang story in us only for the betterment of our planet.

Yes, Narayan, And since Maximum width is already known making walking path and planting trees can as well be done in advance asides of the middle to act as divider with trees.

Revise the Plan & review it for Environmental concern

idea posted by KALIYAMOORTHY Oil & Gas Area Coordinator, Undisclosed
planting & re-planting may not be, at times cost effective. So, in the beginning itself plan properly & detour the road accordingly. Govt can think of acquiring enough land so that the divider can be kept as the existing tree-lines intact.

Reversal of the plan is the only option, as it is foolishness to replant the trees.

I agree with Sankaran. lets expand the city, it also decongests the city. No need to chop trees.Let us keep the city as it is by revising the plan.

This is a great suggestion. There must not be lopsided planing of our towns and cities. Public must be involved in drafting the master plan for the town and city planing.

DEVELOP FLYING VEHICLES

idea posted by PS Dhingra CEO & Vigilance & Transformation Management Consultant, Dhingra Group of Management & Educational Consultants

The only alternative in the scenario of ever growing population and resultant vehicles seems to be to develop and introduce flying motorcycles, Scooters, cars, trucks, buses, etc. Allow only the bicycles on the roads. There will therefore be no need to widen the roads and chop down the trees for that purpose.

OR

Alternatively close down all the automobile industries.


WHEN URBAN PLANNING & ROAD PLANNING ARE DEFECTIVE AND NOT MADE KEEPING IN VIEW OF POPULATION EXPLOSION & EXPANSION OF AUTO INDUSTRIES, WHAT ELSE YOU CAN THINK ABOUT?

Monitor the traffic movement -First

idea posted by Apeksha IT/Technical Editor,
Monitor the traffic movement. Draft plans if the road can be made one-way- the study the pros and cos of it- the impact of going about with such a move. Check out what kind of vehicles ply on the road. Private vehicles, public transport, company cabs, autos, etc. Check the time ( the peak time - hours the traffic is too congested) Try out if the vehicles can be de-regulated. Co-ordinate with the RTO and traffic controlller- check how many vehicles(new ) are getting registed.. can we put a tab on that too. there are ways, chopping trees is not the only solution

transfer of plants

idea posted by rosalie de la cruz Civil Engineer -Telecom, UTECH
As the area becomes populated, road widening comes next to avoid traffic congestion. Those Trees that are greatly affected by road widening should be relocated or transplanted to other areas. Those trees that needs to be harvested should be cut and used commercially or locally, then, there is replanting to replace cut trees.
