Road to Pura Bojonggede<\/p>\n
From Pelita<\/p>\n
Many complaints about the bad condition of the Pura Bojonggede
\nroad in Bogor, West Java have been aired. Nonetheless, we would
\nlike to air ours in the hope that the authorities will listen to
\nour plight this time.<\/p>\n
I am an office worker who lives at the Pura Bojonggede housing
\nestate. I commute every day by train from Bojonggede to Gambir
\nstation and vice versa which, in itself, is no problem. It is the
\nroute, Bojonggede station to the housing estate, that has grown
\ninto a profound problem, especially at night. Why?<\/p>\n
Ojek drivers (motorcycle taxis) refuse to pick up passengers
\nliving in the Bojonggede housing estate unless they pay double
\nthe normal Rp 2,000 fee. They'd rather drive passengers to other
\ndestinations like Sari Gaperi, Bukit Waringin, Bambu Kuning and
\nother housing estates. We cannot blame them, since the road to
\nPura Bojonggede is heavily damaged.<\/p>\n
In the evenings, it is becoming increasingly difficult to get
\na minivan willing to go our way. All users of this road are
\ndesperately wondering when this road will be repaired. The
\ncondition of the road is worse from Sudi Mampir toward the
\ncrossroad to Pura Bojonggede, right before the luxurious estate
\nVilla Bong on the Bojonggede-Parung route. The many deep potholes
\nslow down traffic to a snail's pace.<\/p>\n
Making matters worse is the daily traffic of heavy vehicles
\ntransporting building materials like sand, stones, coral, red
\nstone, cement and cement blocks to the housing estates. It seems
\nthat it is the only road leading toward new estates, or estates
\nin the construction state. At the moment, several estates are
\nbeing constructed in the Bojonggede district.<\/p>\n
Would it be possible to get the respective developers in the
\narea to participate in road repairs? This would be meaningful
\neven if such repairs would be of a temporary nature before the
\nreal work gets done by the respective ministry. After all, they
\ncontribute to the road's damage when they transport building
\nmaterials to and from the construction sites.<\/p>\n
Is it also possible to get shops selling building materials to
\nparticipate in the prospective road repairs?<\/p>\n
