<p>The BMRCL has proposed a skywalk connecting the Banashankari Metro Station with the BMTC terminal, which will also provide safe space for street vendors besides creating a safe path for pedestrians.</p>.<p>Following a report titled 'Traffic chaos reigns over Banashankari Signal, a no-man's-land' in September 2019, Bangalore South MP Tejasvi Surya and Revenue Minister R Ashoka visited the area in November that year and suggested officials propose a skywalk connecting the metro and the BMTC terminal.</p>.<p>The proposal involves redesigning the existing junction, streamlining the traffic flow and creating a traffic island for planting trees. The junction will house a circular skywalk with loops connecting the bus terminal and the metro station.</p>.<p><strong>Also Read | <a href="https://www.deccanherald.com/city/bengaluru-infrastructure/breakthrough-for-metro-tbms-at-mg-road-dairy-circle-1068745.html">Breakthrough for metro TBMs at MG Road, Dairy Circle</a></strong></p>.<p>"Setting this apart from the regular foot over bridges we see in the city, this Skywalk will be a vibrant public space filled with greenery and resting pods.
