Because of unavailable empty land, until today, the
plan of a train railway construction in Lebak Bulus, South Jakarta projected by
PT Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) is not yet realized. Yet, it will be realized after
the land is ready.
The construction is waiting for the buildings demolishment in Lebak Bulus from Local Government
MRT to Parse Traffic Jam Better, Ahok Says
“The construction is waiting for the buildings
demolishment in Lebak Bulus from Local Government,” said Director of PT MRT
Jakarta, Dono Boestami when being contacted, Friday (6/5).
According to Boestami, the land for MRT
construction should already be submitted in December 2013. But in fact, there
is a land that has not been acquired on Jalan Fatmawati that earmarked for
station. But it does not hamper the construction at all.
“But, there is no land acquisition along the main
railway, except for some stations only,” he explained.
The train railway in question is the railway that
designed from train station to depot. It is because the MRT railway is at the
top, while its depot in underground. As planned, there would be two railways in
the project and is targeted to complete in 2017.
As known, the National Police had granted a 1.2-hectare
land to support the MRT construction on Wednesday (6/3). Over that grant, the City
Administration is ready to provide them the compensation in form of 60 dorms, bridge
as long as 40x8 meters, 2,500- square meters dam and canteen renovation. These compensation will be realized after the data asset collection is done.
