You want to get your building plan approved by BBMP, then you have to submit a traffic management plan along with the building plan.
Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagar Palike has plans to make traffic management plan compulsory to obtain approval for buildings by bringing in suitable modifications in the existing building bye-law.
The traffic management plan should show how many vehicles would enter the building every day and what would be its impact on the traffic congestion in the surrounding areas.
Addressing a press conference in Bangalore on Wednesday, BBMP commissioner S Subramanya said that once the modifications in building bye-law are brought in, owners of commercial buildings with built-up area of more than 2000 sq mtr and residential buildings with built-up area of more than 4,000 sqmtr have to produce traffic management plan. The commissioner said that the plan submitted by the owners would be assessed by the traffic cell of the Corporation before granting approval for the building plan.
Deadline for hoardings
Subramanya said the Palike has decided to remove all illegal advertisement hoardings in the city. As per the law the hoarding should contain details of permission taken from the Palike and expiry date of the permission. However it has not been followed by all.
The Palike has decided to give time till August 30 to include the mandatory details and levy penalties on those who continue to violate.
AUGUST 30 IS THE  DEADLINE
No ban on visitors’ vehicles
Bangalore, dhns: Remove ‘Visitors vehicles are not allowed’ boards or face the music. BBMP has set a deadline of August 30 to all multi-storyed buildings to remove boards barring entry of visitors’ vehicles. BBMP commissioner S Subramanya at a press conference in Bangalore on Wednesday said that building bye-law clearly states that 10 per cent of the total parking area should be reserved for visitors’ vehicles.
The Palike has noticed that high rise buildings are not allowing visitors’ vehicles inside. As a result visitors park vehicles on roadsides is compounding the traffic congestion. In order to enforce the bye-law, the Palike has decided to take strict action against those who do not follow the rule as per the law, Subramanya said.
