REQUEST FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A COVERED WALKWAY



When we got to know that covered walkways and connectivity of different modes of transport are parts of the DBKL 2020 Master Plan, we took the initiative to write to DBKL for the construction of a covered walkway from the Kepong railway station for commuters from Tmn Bkt Maluri.

Initial response from DBKL was that whilst they could consider the construction of a covered walkway on that plot of land belonging to DBKL, but for meaningful connectivity we are required to submit a separate application to KTM for their approval to construct another covered walkway in that part of the private land belonging to KTM to provide the necessary connectivity.

When writing to KTM we may bring the attention to the poor maintenance of the existing walkway so much so the thick undergrowth, poor lightings, non-existent drainage has made the use of the pathway uncomfortable and unsafe.

The reason for this circular is to keep residents around Jalan Garuda or daily commuters informed of the plans pursued by the Residents Association and to seek your understanding that not only this application might take a while to materialize and but more importantly when construction work were to start there shall be some inconvenience to the commuters and the residents nearby.

Lastly if you have any comment, feedback to this proposal, please feel free to email us at tbmra2010@gmail.com or blog to us .
