Importance of the site

There are 5 parts to this precinct that need to be considered - 1 An informal food street 2. A heritage building 3. M.E.S college 4. 8th main road with several kattes and a triangular space at the Chitrapur junction 5. Small park at 16th cross. This is a busy area with good potential as a set of public spaces that can work independently or together.

Proposed idea / vision:

I think it has the potential to be a vibrant precinct that has a positive impact on the neighbourhood if temporary pedestrianization measures, streamlined garbage segregation and disposal systems, traffic management, public seating and other such measures are put in place.
