Peenya to Sampige Road will commence operations by December 2012.
Governor H R Bhardwaj announced this in his address to the joint legislature session on Monday. The 7.5-km stretch of the Metro, which was opened on October 20, has got tremendous response from the public. On an average, 30,000 people are using the Metro, he said.
Referring to the development projects in the City, Bhardwaj said the Palike had improved and asphalted 2,280 km of roads and another 35 km of roads had been concreted. In addition, 12 pedestrian underpasses were constructed and 656 parks were improved.
To ease the traffic, the Bangalore Development Authority has taken up construction of grade separators at 12 junctions in the Outer Ring Road from Central Silk Board to Hebbal flyover and up to Tumkur Road junction to create a signal-free corridor for a 36-km stretch. The BDA has also initiated the process to construct 14,000 houses for the economically weaker sections.
The governor, who read out his speech, said that to retain and rejuvenate centuries old water bodies across the City, rejuvenation of 11 lakes had been completed and work on another 32 lakes was in the progress.
