Building on a road side

Building on a road side

From Kompas

We, the residents of Empang subdistrict in South Bogor, are
concerned over the renovation of a building which houses a
service shop for Vespa scooters and is located on the side of a
narrow road in our area. The problem is that the building is also
being enlarged to occupy part of the road.

The shop owner should know that building on part of a public
road is a violation of city regulations. As a result of the
violation, the traffic problem along the road has become worse.

We have written a letter of complaint to the city's public
works office concerning the problem. Some of the officials from
the office have even visited the area to inspect the construction
of the building. Yet the construction of the building has not
been stopped and no action has been taken against its owner. The
question is whether the officials have made a special agreement
with the shop owner.
