Sidewalk vendors

Sidewalk vendors
in Glodok

From Warta Kota

In the last few days, sidewalk vendors selling VCDs and other
wares near Harco Shopping Center, Glodok, have disappeared.
Still, the area remains messy, with fences made from iron
sheeting here and there. Also, several public order officers from
the Jakarta administration still keep guard there.

Hopefully, the area will soon be really free from sidewalk
vendors and neat again, without the need for public order
officials to be present.

Unfortunately, in parts of Glodok, located in Jl. Gajah Mada,
sidewalk vendors selling electronic goods are still allowed to
operate unhindered.

This shows that the West Jakarta municipality administration
is unfair to the sidewalk vendors at Harco Shopping Center. The
vendors on Jl. Gajah Mada are troublesome because their presence
often causes traffic congestion.

Therefore, the relevant authorities should also remove them
from Jl. Gajah Mada.
