SURABAYA - Mayor of Surabaya Eri Cahyadi wants the arrangement of the park in the middle of the City of Heroes, East Java, in mid-July to involve residents as a form of increasing a sense of mutual cooperation.

"So it's not just universities, our citizens are involved, participating in the development of the city of Surabaya. I hope mutual cooperation in this city continues to emerge," said Mayor Eri Cahyadi in Surabaya as reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, July 19.

Eri wants the city center park to function to absorb pollution so that the air in Surabaya remains clean.

So that the appearance of the park in the middle of the city is more pleasing to the eye, Eri wants there to be decorations in the form of lights along the road leading to the city of Surabaya.

The mayor, who is familiarly called Cak Eri Cahyadi, mentioned that he first arranged the city parks along Jalan Raya Darmo, starting from the front of the Al-Falah Mosque to the front of Bungkul Park.

After the successful construction of the park on Jalan Raya Darmo, Eri will implement it along Jalan Ahmad Yani.

"Later, we will try it out first, also add floodlights on Jalan Raya Darmo. So, when people pass into the city, they can enjoy the beauty of the roads, parks and nice pedestrians," said Eri.

For this reason, Mayor Eri asked the Head of the Surabaya Environment Service (DLH) Hebi Agus Djuniantoro to trim the trees along Jalan Raya Darmo so they don't look like a forest.

"The towering trees block the view and Bungkul Park across the street," he said.
