Pedestrian Arrangement For Malioboro Supporting Area Continues To Jalan Senopati

YOGYAKARTA - Revitalization work or pedestrian arrangement in the supporting area of Malioboro is planned to continue in 2022, namely on Jalan Senopati and on Jalan Sosrowijayan.

“There are two pavement revitalization work plans that will be carried out this year. The goal is to organize the supporting area for Malioboro," said Head of the Yogyakarta City Housing and Settlement Public Works Agency, Hari Setya Wacana, quoted by Antara, Tuesday, January 4.

According to him, pedestrian revitalization on Jalan Senopati needs to be carried out to continue the arrangement that has been carried out on Jalan KH Ahmad Dahlan in the last two years.

The concept of pedestrian arrangement on Jalan Senopati will also not be much different from the concept applied on Jalan KH Ahmad Dahlan.

"The arrangement will start from the Zero Kilometer Point of Yogyakarta to the Gondomanan intersection with the same concept as has been implemented on the Jalan KH Ahmad Dahlan section. So that the concept continues," he said.

The budget allocated for pedestrian arrangement on Jalan Senopati is around Rp. 15.9 billion which comes from the Yogyakarta privilege fund.

Revitalization work is carried out for pedestrians on the south and north sides of the road, which is planned to start after Lebaran.

Meanwhile, Jalan Sosrowijayan is one of the fin roads from Jalan Malioboro. In 2021, the Yogyakarta City DPUPKP has completed the arrangement for pedestrians on Jalan Representative which is also the fin road for Malioboro.

Throughout 2021, the Yogyakarta City DPUPKP will do a lot of pedestrian revitalization work. One of the major projects is the arrangement of pedestrians on Jalan Jenderal Sudirman from the Galeria Mal intersection to the Gramedia intersection.

This work requires a budget of around Rp. 19.9 billion and is the last stage of the pedestrian revitalization work on the road.

In addition, pedestrian arrangements were also carried out on Jalan KH Ahmad Dahlan with a budget of Rp. 9.9 billion and pedestrian arrangements on Jalan Representative with a budget of around Rp. 10.2 billion.
