        "content": "<p>The Badung Regency Government will comprehensively revitalise the\nKuta area starting this year. This beautification project will focus on\nthe area\u2019s aesthetics through the widening of pedestrian paths and the\nrelocation of utility cables underground. In addition, the Badung\nRegency Government is designing electric bike lanes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will make the aesthetics of this area as beautiful as possible.\nThe pedestrian paths will be widened to approximately 4 metres, equipped\nwith gardens and green landscapes to create a comfortable atmosphere\nsuitable as a tourist destination,\u201d said Badung Regent I Wayan Adi\nArnawa on Friday (8\/5\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>This step is taken to address traffic congestion problems due to\nnarrow road widths and rampant illegal parking. The Badung Regency\nGovernment is preparing centralised parking pockets so that all main\nroads in the Kuta area are free from vehicles parked on the\nroadside.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have instructed the Secretary to prepare the parking pockets.\nAfter that, we will implement a no-parking zone along these roads,\u201d\nadded Adi Arnawa.<\/p>\n<p>As a mobility solution within the area, the Badung Regency Government\nwill introduce an electric-powered public transport system with\ndedicated lanes. This scheme is designed so that tourists can still\ncomfortably reach various points in Kuta.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere will be dedicated lanes for electric public transport,\npossibly marked with certain colours. So, both the public and tourists\ncan enjoy the Kuta area more comfortably,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The Badung Regency Government is also addressing abrasion in the\ncoastal area, which is being handled jointly with the central government\nthrough the construction of breakwaters. Badung itself has allocated a\nbudget of Rp 250 billion for abrasion control from the Tuban, Kuta, and\nCanggu coastlines.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter the breakwaters are completed and the sand is re-arranged, the\nbeach will be wider and more comfortable. After that, we will design\ncoastal pedestrian paths from Tuban to Canggu with a width of up to\nabout 8 metres, divided into jogging tracks and electric bike lanes,\u201d\nrevealed Adi Arnawa.<\/p>\n<p>The pedestrian paths along the beach are designed to be modern with a\ndigital-based transport system. This beautification is carried out in\nstages, strengthening coordination with adat villages so that the vision\nof restoring Kuta\u2019s glory as a world tourism icon can be achieved.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLater, tourists and the public can enjoy the coastal area with a\nmodern digital-based transport system. We want to bring back Kuta as it\nwas before, as an icon of tourism, tourism, and surfing that is the\npride of Bali,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>",
