Bangalore: That successive state governments through decades have tried to get the Bangalore Turf Club (BTC) to move out of its current location to the outskirts, is well-documented. The question is, why is B S Yeddyurappa so keen on enforcing the year-end deadline, when even paper work has not been initiated in getting BTC a new race course? International racing consultant Finn Powrie says it takes more than two-andhalf years to build a course of international standards, with a minimum cost of Rs 300 crore on about 100 acres of land.
Linked is the question, ‘What does the government intend to do with 60 acres of prime property within walking distance of Vidhana Soudha?’ Bangaloreans would love for it to be converted into a public park, a green space so that the growing city gets some additional lung space that it so sorely needs. Prominent city citizens have already said so.
Flip side is the speculation that at least a part of the race course will be handed over to the developers with talks of a convention centre, a World Trade Centre, a 100-200 storeyed building making the rounds.
If the whole aim of the exercise was to reduce congestion in the area by shifting the race course, then it makes no sense to put up high-rises that touch the sky because they would make the congestion worse, not only on the surface but also in the air and choke the heart of the city. The area around the race course is so densely built that there is very little possibility for further expanding surface transport facilities like roads. Even with a Metro, commercial activities in the area would lead to immense grid locks.
