This Is The Sweet Promise Of The DKI Provincial Government So That Barito Market Traders Are Willing To Be Relocated

JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has begun to relocate traders of the Barito Animal Market to build the Heritage Flag Park which combines three parks in the Blok M area, namely Langsat Park, Ayodya Park, and Leuser Park.

Head of the DKI Jakarta Industry, Trade, Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises, Elisabeth Ratu Rante Allo, revealed that his party offered a number of promises to traders from Pasar Barito to be willing to be relocated.

Among them, traders will be temporarily moved to 10 markets managed by Perumda Pasar Jaya and released from choosing relocation locations according to their convenience. In addition, traders also received a three-month discount on kiosk rentals at the relocation site.

"These steps are taken so that the structuring process does not only side with the interests of urban spatial planning, but also ensures the business continuity of traders," Ratu told reporters, Wednesday, August 6.

As long as traders sell in temporary locations, the DKI Provincial Government will prepare the Fauna Jakarta Center in Lenteng Agung which is predicted to be a center for healthy, educational, and modern pet trade.

"Further traders will be facilitated to open a business at the Fauna Jakarta Center which is built on an area of approximately 7,000 square meters in the Lenteng Agung area," said Ratu.

Later, the Fauna Jakarta Center will become a hygienic and environmentally friendly modern animal market, accompanied by animal and conservation education rides, educational tourist destinations that combine entertainment and environmental literacy, as well as an organized pet MSME zone.

"Sentra Fauna Jakarta is expected not only to be a place for transactions, but also a fun learning and recreation room for families and animal lovers," explained Ratu.

Separately, the Head of the DKI Jakarta City Parks and Forests Agency, Fajar Sauri, said that the DKI Provincial Government will start a groundbreaking for the arrangement and connection of three parks to the Pusaka Flag Park the day after tomorrow, Friday, August 8.

With an area of almost six hectares, this park will be facilitated by bridge connecting bridges (link bridges), jogging tracks, children's playgrounds, multipurpose rooms, and amphitheaters open to art and cultural performances.

"So, we connect the Langsat Park with Ayodya Park with a bridge link. On Langsat we make a jogging track. Then to combine Langsat and Leuser there is a bridge that goes down under the road so that it can penetrate," explained Fajar.
