Pasar Minggu tidied up

From Warta Kota

Jl. Pasar Minggu Raya and its market have had a facelift of
late. While the road used to be packed with vendors and messy, it
is now neat and clean. The phone booth once hidden in the midst
of crowds of sellers is now accessible, and it is now easier to
park in front of the market, when previously, it was very
difficult for cars to even pass through the area.

The slum-like, mishmash state of Pasar Minggu in the past was
not only dirty, but also caused congestion along the road from
Jakarta to Depok and vice versa.

So, Pasar Minggu can actually be tidied up and is ready to
compete with other shopping centers in Jakarta.

The problem is perhaps the fate of the vendors, who used to
sell their goods there. This is the next issue of home affairs
for the South Jakarta municipal administration to tackle.
