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)
