As compensation, they can\ninstall advertisements there,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He also assured that all permits, which had previously been an\nobstacle, have now been settled, including those from PT Kereta Api\nIndonesia (KAI) and the Ministry of Transportation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn Jalan Juanda, the traffic jams are extraordinary, with many\ncrossings. Once the JPO is built, we want it to connect directly to the\nstation from above,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>He hopes the presence of the JPO will reduce the habit of KRL\npassengers crossing directly on the road.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis way, everyone crossing Jalan Juanda will go over the top, and\nno one will go under,\u201d said Idi.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the future function of the JPO will be further studied\nwith the Transportation Department (Dishub), including the possibility\nof making it the main access to the station.<\/p>\n<p>The stair framework as well as barriers on the right and left sides\nare also visible as already installed.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, several construction information banners are still\nposted along Jalan Ir H Juanda.<\/p>",
