The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government is accelerating the\ntransformation of the HR Rasuna Said corridor in South Jakarta into a\nmodern and functional showcase for the city. Governor Pramono Anung\nstressed that the redevelopment of this key business artery goes beyond\nfootpath aesthetics, touching on fundamental environmental and mobility\naspects for residents.<\/p>\n
During his inspection of the Rasuna Said area on Sunday (21\/6),\nPramono revealed that the project is a comprehensive improvement effort.\nIn addition to the pedestrian walkways, which are nearly complete, the\narrangement of vegetation is receiving special attention to ensure it\nprovides tangible benefits for pedestrians.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will carry out the Rasuna Said redevelopment comprehensively. The\npedestrian walkways are now, alhamdulillah, almost entirely finished. I\nhave also requested that the trees planted be those that people can\nutilise for walking comfortably, because I do not want the trees to be\nmere accessories,\u201d Pramono said.<\/p>\n
Beyond road infrastructure, the water management sector is also a\npriority. Pramono has instructed the Water Resources Agency (SDA) to\nnormalise the Cideng River that runs through the corridor. This step\nincludes replacing old sheet piling and arranging the riverbanks to\nstrengthen the area\u2019s appearance, making it more orderly and\nverdant.<\/p>\n
According to him, Rasuna Said is the face of Jakarta and must\nguarantee a sense of safety and comfort. \u201cI am confident that later it\nwill show that the face of Jakarta in this place will become more\ncomfortable and safe,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Echoing the Governor, Head of the DKI Jakarta Highways Agency, Heru\nSuwondo, explained that supporting facilities in the pedestrian corridor\nhave been comprehensively designed. One important breakthrough is the\nrelocation of utility networks underground (SJUT) to eliminate the\ncluttered appearance of overhead cables.<\/p>\n
Heru emphasised that intermodal integration forms the backbone of\nthis project. The pedestrian walkways are now directly connected to\nTransJakarta bus stops and LRT stations, making it easier for residents\nto move around without obstacles.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe footpaths we have built are complete. We have prepared benches,\nand the utilities have been moved underground. The integration is also\ngood because the TransJakarta stops and access to the LRT are now\nconnected,\u201d Heru concluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/rasuna-said-redevelopment-pramono-anung-targets-comprehensive-transformation-1782024623", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
