Mall in Depok

Mall in Depok

From Media Indonesia

Depok now has several stores: Hero, Robinson and Ramanda on Jl. Margonda Raya. Depok Mall is now being built exactly opposite Hero and Robinson. With the construction of this mall the traffic will inevitably worsen. Traffic jams on this particular road are notorious, especially in the afternoon.

In this context I would like to say a few points.

* As a consequence of the construction of the mall, traffic has been closed from Jl. Margonda Raya to Pasar Kemiri Muka. This is a nuisance to local residents. Actually, Depok Mall promised to provide an alternative route but has not yet done so.

* It appears that the owner does not care what environmental impact the construction has on the neighborhood. When it rains part of Stankle and Bulak kampongs are flooded. It never happened before. It was rumored that the mall would improve the drainage system, but nothing has been done up to now.
