JAKARTA - Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Rano Karno revealed plans to build a monorail transportation mode to the Ragunan Wildlife Park area. This monorail is part of the arrangement of the DKI Provincial Government's zoo.
"We have plans to revitalize Ragunan. There is a plan for Ragunan, we will make something like what, what is the term, train, monorail," said Rano in his statement, Friday, January 9.
Rano said that the discourse on the construction of a monorail to Ragunan emerged to reduce congestion in the area. Considering that, on weekends, the high number of people visiting Ragunan for recreation often causes traffic congestion.
Later, one of the concepts of arranging Ragunan is directed at rearranging visitor access by moving the parking area outside the main area. Visitors will park their vehicles in the Ragunan Scout Camp area, then continue on to the zoo area using a monorail.
"So later the parking area will be in front, at the scout place, later people if they want to go to Ragunan will take the monorail," he said.
Rano assessed that monorail was the choice because it was considered environmentally friendly and did not interfere with the animal ecosystem within the Ragunan area.
He added that the monorail line is also planned to be integrated with the surrounding area to address access and congestion issues, especially during weekends.
"Because here the infrastructure, friends see coming here, the road is narrow, all kinds, jammed, especially on Sundays, wow, it's crowded, it has to be found," said Rano.
In addition to Ragunan, Rano revealed that he received four special assignments from the Governor of DKI Jakarta Pramono Anung regarding the arrangement of strategic areas in the Capital City, namely Old City, then Pasar Baru, then including Setu Babakan.
Specifically for Setu Babakan, Rano said that the arrangement of the Betawi cultural village area requires more mature and targeted planning.
Rano assessed that until now, Setu Babakan has not had a comprehensive grand design as the basis for the development of the cultural area. According to Rano, the existence of a grand design is important so that the development of Setu Babakan can be carried out gradually but still consistent with the big vision of the development of Betawi culture.
"So that we know, even though it may be a gradual development, but the name of the grand design must be ours. This place is for culture, yes," he said.
"Moreover, now it will be arranged about the Betawi community's customary institutions. This must be the basis, even there must be an educational institution here," added Rano.
