BOGOR - Mayor of Bogor, West Java, Bima Arya Sugiarto, said that the increase in the capacity of the intersections of Bogor Street, Sholeh Iskandar (Sholis) Street, and Bogor Ring Road (BORR) Toll Road on the Kedung Halang On Ramp will increase local revenue (PAD).

Bima Arya is committed to helping facilitate investment in an effort to increase the capacity of the BORR toll road intersection in collaboration with PT Olympic Bangun Persada and waiting for other collaborations.

"But I always emphasize, we help, we make it easy. I'm sure there won't be anything out of the ordinary until this happens. Please report if there are city government officials who make things difficult but I don't think so. Even if it's difficult, it's because of bureaucratic dynamics," he said when confirmed in Bogor City, Antara, Wednesday, February 22.

He hopes that after signing the collaboration with the City Government on Tuesday (21/2), Olympic will also be able to immediately enter into an MoU with PT Marga Sarana Jabar so that everything goes according to existing regulations.

In addition to increasing access, this collaboration can also be beneficial for the Bogor City Government because it can increase local revenue by increasing investment in Bogor City.

"Benefits in terms of traffic management, in terms of consistency in the zoning earlier," he said.

President Director of PT Olympic Bangun Persada Norman Edward Sebastian expressed his gratitude to the Bogor City Government for its support for this program.

"I express my greatest appreciation for all the assistance that has been given and for its realization," said Norman.

Norman said that after signing the joint agreement with the Bogor City Government, his party would continue the cooperation agreement with PT Marga Sarana Jabar.

"As soon as we signed, I will immediately build it the next day because it was a priority for us," he said.

Norman hopes that with this infrastructure development, his party can participate in building Bogor City to become a better and more advanced city.
