Bina Marga: Sidewalk Revitalization in Jakarta Keeps Being Intensified"Jalan HR Rasuna Said will be made like Thamrin. But there is still iron left by the monorail. I want the monorail pole removed," he expressed, Tuesday (10/4).
He explained that his staff had communicated about the plan with Adhi Karya as the BUMN owner of the monorail pole on Jalan HR Rasuna Said.
"We're about to start negotiation this year. Hopefully, if it's done, next year is planning in turn," he uttered.
If the revitalization went well, it would be continued to Jalan HR Rasuna Said to Jalan MT Haryono and Jenderal Gatot Subroto.
"So, the main access roads will be developed to make Jakarta a pedestrian-friendly Global City," he stated.
