Sudirman to have wider sidewalk

JAKARTA: Head of the Jakarta Park Agency Sarwo Handayani said
the city administration would build a four-meter-wide sidewalk
along Jl. Sudirman next year.

"We will start the construction after we complete the work on
the sidewalk on Jl. Thamrin," she said as reported by
tempointeraktif.com on Saturday.

The construction of sidewalks along the city's main
thoroughfares is part of the administration's effort to provide
better public facilities, following complaints about their poor
condition.

The city allocated Rp 15 billion (US$1.6 million) from the
budget for the project.

"In the near future, vendors will be prohibited from occupying
the sidewalk," Sarwo said. -- JP
