JAKARTA - Deputy Chairperson of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Wibi Andrino, supports the DKI Provincial Government's discourse to hold a free motorized vehicle or car free night every Saturday. The activity is planned to start at 22.00 WIB.
It's just that, according to Wibi, the time for the planned car free night was late to become a community sports activity.
"That night is not suitable for sports, it is suitable to relax. So, use it for the forum for the MSME and cultural festivals, so that it becomes a people's party," Wibi said in his statement, Monday, June 16.
If the car free night is held in the future, Wibi urges all residents who use car free night to be orderly and protect the environment during the activity. For example, not smoking and littering along the location of the car free night.
"You have to be environmentally friendly. Zero waste. Don't litter and don't smoke," said the NasDem Faction Advisor for the DKI Jakarta DPRD.
Furthermore, Wibi hopes that car free night activities can be a joint effort in suppressing the level of air pollution. Considering that the level of traffic density in Jakarta at night is still high.
"The main thing is, we can manage air pollution well. The data we get when Car Free Day is held, pollution levels are decreasing," explained Wibi.
Previously, Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta, Rano Karno, said that the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government would hold a car free night in the Sudirman-Thamrin area every Saturday night. According to Rano, this motor vehicle-free night activity will be held because it sees many Jakartans exercising at night.
"What we will try is Car Free Night. We will start at 10 pm. Because it turns out that many people also exercise at night," Rano told reporters, Sunday, June 9.
Car free night activities this Sunday night, continued Rano, are still in the planning stage. The plan is that the car free night will begin after the celebration of Jakarta's 498th anniversary which starts on June 22.
Along with that, the DKI Provincial Government is still formulating the implementation of car free nights, such as lighting along the road to road opening and closing arrangements in the area.
"So Saturday, we have Car Free Night at night. Maybe we will start at 10 pm. Well, there we are close (on the road). But of course the performance is different. It will definitely be with a lighting," explained Rano.
