BOGOR - The City Government (Pemkot) of Bogor, West Java, has started to record rivers that need to be normalized and bridge connecting between villages prone to collapse for rehabilitation. "We will prepare a budget for river normalization and bridge rehabilitation, yesterday which was visited in Ciereng has been recorded, others will also be traced for data collection," said Bogor Deputy Mayor Dedie Abdul Rachim in Bogor City, quoted from Antara, Sunday, July 2. He said a temporary review of the rivers and bridges in poor condition had been carried out in RT03 and RT04 RW 11 Ciereng Village, Ciwaringin Village, Central Bogor District. Dedie explained that river normalization and bridge rehabilitation are part of the regional arrangement carried out by the Bogor City Government, including in Ciereng Village. The bridge in Ciereng Village is the only access for residents to the Kebon Pedes area. The bridge is the barrier between Ciwaringin and Kebon Pedes Villages, so many residents take advantage of this access. The current condition of the bridge is quite dangerous. Iron began to porous and potholed over time. He hopes that the repair of bridges and normalization of waterways will trigger the enthusiasm of residents to improve environmental quality and maintain Adipura. "I am very grateful to all, because we can get the Adipura Cup participation back. For that we must protect, we must achieve it again. That's why we need support from all," said Dedie. According to Dedie, river normalization and bridge rehabilitation require awareness of residents for community service, not littering and don't throw garbage into the river anymore. "That's the most important thing, it takes the support of the residents. We will normalize it, we will also build a bridge," said Dedie.
