SOLO - The Surakarta City Government has again added a Malioboro-style corridor as has been done in the Gatot Subroto area.

This time, the corridor that is arranged resembles the Malioboro area, namely the Teuku Umar Corridor or the Keprabon area.

Regarding the arrangement, the Head of the Surakarta City Public Works and Spatial Planning Agency (DPUPR) Nur Basuki in Solo, Central Java, Monday said that the arrangement was carried out to maximize the culinary potential in the area.

According to him, the Surakarta City Government has allocated a budget of IDR 2 billion for the arrangement of the Umar Measuring Corridor. The arrangement will include improvements to drainage, utilities, pedestrians, and street lighting (PJU).

He said the arrangement would start from the drainage and utilities channels. Later, the area will not have a cable network passing over the building because everything will be planted in the ground so that the area looks looser.

Before the pedestrian arrangement, the drainage arrangement first and the utilities arrangement. So the cables there will be lowered later," he said.

Next, just entered the pedestrian work. He said the arrangement would use an andesit stone to replace the previous paving block.

"In addition, it will also be equipped with a Guiding block for people with visually impaired people. In addition, a signage uniformation will also be carried out with a height limit of 2.4 meters," he said.

Meanwhile, he said, the auction process was underway. Thus, it is hoped that physical work can be carried out immediately.

His party targets the arrangement of the area to be completed this year with a work time of around 4-5 months.
