| This garden was created on July 22 2011 - is 80 days old and doing well. There are assigned people who maintain the entire place - everyday. "All spotFixes also involve installing some sort of maintenance." - TUI |
 |
| The staff at the iconic KC Das (Bengali Sweet Shop) report an hour early to work to beautify the street in front of their shop. This Ugly BESCOM electricity box has paint peeling off, is full of ugly posters, and is an attractor of filth |
 |
| It takes an hour of work - for 6-8 people working in turns to fix such a spot. |
 |
| This is the daily scene in front of the historic St Patrick's Church. Built in 1844, it is the spiritual centre for the city's Catholic community. Sadly, there is a civic mess at the main entrance - open dumping, raw meat, overflowing sewage, scavenging animals, an overpowering stench and a total sense of disorder and helplessness. ~ TUI |
 |
| Now a footpath has been created by TUI, there is a sense of neatness and order, and magically civic behaviour has changed. Garbage is now neatly bagged, the footpath is swept, the plants are watered, people walk safely on the footpath and church-goers were in for a pleasant surprise last Sunday. ~ TUI THERE IS HOPE! :) |
 |
| The stench used to carry a distance of at least 100 feet, making this stretch unwalkable. Most people cross to the other side, where there is NO footpath, right in the face of fast-moving traffic. This was a Pedestrian Safety Issue as much as it was a Public Hygiene and Health issue. |
 |
| It not only looks pretty, it smells pretty nice too. Go there and take a sniff sometime. It's probably at a Stink Rating of 1.0 (or Fragrance rating of 9.0). People now stand around there and make phone calls, chat etc. Kudos to Bangalore Club management for being part of this Fix! The Fix has had a major impact for those who walk in this very busy area of Bangalore |
