After a year of repair and renovation, Bengaluru's popular Church Street is finally ready with a brand new look. The busy road in the central business district houses offices, restaurants and pubs and is also quite popular among shoppers. With a cobblestoned carriageway of 5.5 metres, the street now has footpaths about 2.5 metres wide on both sides. And that has come as a relief for pedestrians. "It was too messy over here and it was so uncomfortable to walk on the road. Now, it's been made very nice -- a very flat surface so we can walk comfortably," said Hema, who uses the road regularly.
