| Condition unkempt with undergrowth and lack of care Posted: 13 Dec 2011 04:55 AM PST THE condition of the newly-upgraded Jalan Sungai Buloh-Subang continues to deteriorate. There are numerous potholes in various parts of the road. The road reserve is unkempt with thick undergrowth and the trees planted as part of the project lacked care and are in a sorry state. Many streetlights are not working and those along Kampung Selamat have not been working since they were installed. The drains are clogged and in some places the road is littered with cables and other trash washed down the road. The traffic lights break down frequently and this has caused many accidents. The road reserve is also being used as a dumping ground especially near the Kg Baru Sungai Buloh junction. The jungle-like condition along the road is an open invitation for truck drivers to dump their garbage and make a quick exit. This road is also congested at times because of the narrow Jalan Welfare in Kampung Baru Sungai Buloh holding up traffic. Jalan Welfare was scheduled to be upgraded into a four-lane road but the JKR is delaying the widening for reasons known only to them. Furthermore the timing of the traffic lights opposite the railway station needs to be adjusted because it causes a major jam during peak hours. It is hoped that Works Minister Datuk Shaziman Mansor will see to it that this federal road is maintained well and that shortcomings do not arise in the future. In addition, the JKR needs to re-surface Jalan Sungai Buloh-Kepong as it has not been done since the upgrading about 10 years ago. The JKR also needs to build a large drain in view of the huge volume of water gushing down from the railway culvert near Jalan Desa Aman (near the Caltex station) causing flash floods and traffic jams whenever it rains heavily.

| Slippery tiles installed on pedestrian bridges Posted: 13 Dec 2011 04:52 AM PST I am appalled to read in Star Metro about the dangerous tiles installed on the pedestrian overhead bridges as raised by Setapak residents. It has also been a topic of discussion among office staff using the newly-completed pedestrain bridge along 5th mile Jalan Klang Lama which appears to be of similar coloured tiles more often used in commercial buildings. Nonetheless, the newly installed tiles are very slippery, especially after a heavy downpour. Surely, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) are aware of their responsibility towards public safety to ensure a proper selection is made for non-slip heavy duty tiles in such places. Of course, the immediate appropriate action is to replace them before an accident occurred, especially during the rainy season now. RHH Khoo, Kuala Lumpur. Full content generated by Get Full RSS. |
