A way out of traffic jams

Bangalore: Bangalore might soon get rid of its traffic problems. The department of transport and urban development Department is jointly setting up a centre that will integrate transport and the city’s problems to find solutions to both.
Sources said the department had sought 20 acres of land to set up the Centre for Sustainable Transportation and Urban Planning, which will concentrate both on traffic congestion and the city’s architecture. The centre — to be built at a cost of Rs 10-15 crore — will be set up along the lines of CETT, Ahmedabad and National School of Architecture, New Delhi. It will look into the the required floor area ratio, vertical growth of the city, etc and provide solutions. TNN
