Jakarta Provincial Government Keeps Controlling Aerial CableHe emphasized his desire for as many utility cables in Jakarta as possible to be undergrounded. This improvement would be conducted gradually due to the high costs involved.
"It will continue to run later. We can't use all of our City Budget (APBD) funds for this renovation because the costs are quite high," he expressed.
Aside that, the Jakarta Government wouls also improve the sidewalks to be friendly for people with disabilities and pedestrians. New sidewalk construction, such as in Blok M, was also executed by providing facilities for people with disabilities.
"The main concern should actually be the disabled, not pedestrians," he closed.
