Disturbing project

From Neraca

The construction of a building at the site of the former Transaera Hotel on Jl. Merdeka Timur is most disturbing to residents as well as students who use Jl. Batu to go to and from school.

Jl. Batu, which used to be clean and tidy, has become heavily damaged by trucks which use the road to carry heavy loads to a project site. The road is now covered with dirt which is dropped by the trucks coming from the project site.

I hate to think what the road will be like when the rainy season starts. Students who own cars may not mind, but to most other students of SMA 48 or SMEA Jl. Batu who have to walk, such conditions will obviously be unpleasant.

To the developers of the project I appeal to them not to use Jl. Batu as an access road to and from the construction site, but to use their own entry road instead. To the Jakarta City authorities I urge that they admonish the developers who seem to have no regard for the environment.
