Proper use of pavements<\/p>\n
From Pelita<\/p>\n
For low-income people, the presence of sidewalk food stalls is
\ngladdening, because they can eat at reasonable prices. Wealthier
\npeople, on the other hand, can afford to eat at restaurants.<\/p>\n
However, the Jakarta Metropolitan Administration has been
\nworking hard to make the city look nice and clean by removing
\nillegal makeshift constructions found in many parts of the city.<\/p>\n
Now what about the vendors who run their business on
\npavements? Their business activities are not only a real
\nhindrance to pedestrians, but also to traffic. Some of them
\nproduce dirty water and other wastes which make the surroundings
\ndirty and uncomfortable. Besides, motorcyclists often make use of
\npavements which endangers pedestrians' safety. It is time the
\ncity administration took action against the improper use of
\npavements, a facility for pedestrians.<\/p>\n
Sidewalk vendors should be housed in a special building. The
\nidea of Pujasera (center for food stalls) should be made more
\npopular in catering to the needs of the low-income group.<\/p>\n
