ಬಯಸಿದಂತೆ ಬಯಲು

BLR-025

Activating Jayanagar Metro Underpass

Area / Length:

37 m

Main access road:

Rashtreeya Vidyalaya Road

Nominee

BMS College of Architecture, Design and Planning

SELCO Foundation

Budget

₹ 10-50 lakhs

Priority Interventions

Redesign the 7.5m x 14m under-utilised public space under eastern side of Jaynagar metro station to add: 

  • Sitting and resting areas for municipal and gig workers

  • Public toilet 

  • Landscaping and lighting  

  • Ramps for the footpath to enable universal access.

  • Signage to indicate lift access for the metro and rest zone.

  • Create hawker stalls or kiosks to draw attention to the space.

The designed space can also connect to the parking area at the rear of the metro

Site context

There is a lot of underutilised space at Jayangar Metro station. The bus / auto bay near Jaynagar metro station is a perpetual urination and litter spot for auto drivers and others, making the space unhygienic and forcing people to walk on the road despite wide footpaths.

Issues

There are no public toilets and rest space for municipal workers, and other groups like gig workers, auto drivers etc.
