Kiosks are a problem

Kiosks are a problem

From Neraca

Ever since Jl. Petojo and Jl. Kaji in central Jakarta were transformed into temporary shelter for traders of Petojo Market, which is currently undergoing renovation, the roads have been packed with people.

Traffic flow is frequently obstructed by the additional rows of new, blue-colored sheds that take up part of the roads.

This eyesore pesters me. As a citizen, I am disadvantaged by the presence of these kiosks. The kiosks are built right in front of our house. We are also in bad need of parking space and guests are forced to park their cars meters from my home. Before the kiosks were built, they could easily park in front of our home.

The present situation is inconvenient to my guests and it also interferes with my business since many customers avoid my shop because they can no longer find a parking space.

I appeal to the authorities to relocate the temporary kiosks immediately. The public should not have to be inconvenienced by the kiosks and cope with this unsightly eyesore.
