Kebon Sirih gets face-lift

The Minister of Tourism, Post and Telecommunications, Joop Ave, is sponsoring the refurbishment of Jl. Kebon Sirih, Central Jakarta, between Jl. M.H. Thamrin and the intersection near the Pak Tani (farmers) statue.

Renovations will be carried out on pedestrian sidewalks and bus stops along the street, thus creating a serene and civilized atmosphere.

The planning and work, which will be executed by the municipal parks office, is scheduled to be completed before the independence day celebrations on Aug. 17, 1994. (mds)
