<p> Church Street, which has been in a bad state for over a decade, will finally get a facelift with BBMP developing it under the TenderSURE project at a cost of Rs 9 crore.<br /><br /></p>.<p>On Tuesday, Bengaluru Development Minister K J George performed the ground-breaking ceremony for the work. The stretch will have 40 LED streetlights and bay parking facility that can accommodate 103 two-wheelers and 32 four-wheelers.<br /><br />The project comprises development and strengthening of the carriageway with uniform lane width and development of pedestrian-friendly footpaths. The entire project is expected to be completed by July 2017.<br /><br />BBMP chief engineer K T Nagaraj said the project is expected to be completed on time as the 715-metre stretch is a one-way. Work will be taken up on one side of the road first and then the other so traffic is unlikely to be affected, he said.<br /><br />However, people who depend on the stretch for parking will have to find space elsewhere. <br />Mayor G Padmavathi, BBMP Commissioner N Manjunatha Prasad and Shanthinagar MLA N A Haris were present on the occasion.<br /><br /></p>
