The most beautiful boulevard of Bangalore. This road is right next to my Bangalore house in Jayanagar. The road is few kilometers long and there are wide parks (more than 20 I think) on either side of the road and residential layouts next to the long parks. The most beautiful place to live in South Bangalore (excluding certain scenic places in outer fringes of South Bangalore and suburbs).

The aesthetic value is immense. Many Bangaloreans drive down here during the weekends just to walk in the greenery here.

And there is now a danger threatening this place. A overhead metro rail is planned to come up here. There sure are other alternative routes over lesser beautiful areas. But these routes are not being pursued because it is cheaper to cut down trees across a vast stretch of greenery than to plan the route through roads where commercial shops are on either side.

Please voice your concern. And hope that it will be heard. This road was the vision of Lakshman Rau and this place is rightly called Lakshman Rau Boulevard. This stretch Bangalore is a social heritage site.
