JAKARTA - Residents complained about the deterioration of the condition of the pedestrian bridge (JPO) at the Kampung Rambutan Terminal, Ciracas, East Jakarta, which has been worrying for a long time.
"Honestly, we must be restless, confused, because it has been a long time, two years or three years the condition is damaged. No, only now," said a resident of Sarah (29) in East Jakarta, Thursday, April 2, reported by ANTARA.
He regretted that public facilities that should support pedestrian safety were left damaged for years without repair, thus causing concern and unrest among the community.
As far as Sarah knows, the damage to the JPO in the inter-city inter-provincial bus terminal area has lasted for more than three years.
The physical condition of the damaged bridge makes residents reluctant to use it. The crumbling bridge base and the structure that has begun to shake are considered dangerous for user safety.
"See it like that. People are afraid to pass through it. The reason is also rotten. I'm just horrified," said Sarah.
In addition, damage was also seen on the roof of the JPO. Many parts of the roof were missing and the bridge looked dirty and unmaintained.
"It used to have a roof, now it's gone. It can be seen from far away, it's just abandoned and dirty," he said.
Not only a matter of safety, the JPO is also suspected of being a location for disturbing social activities.
Sarah said that in the afternoon and evening, the bridge was often used as a gathering place and even slept by a number of people. This activity occurs almost every day and is often accompanied by behavior that disrupts order.
"If it's afternoon to evening, many people hang out, sleep there. People who are not clear about who they are. And if I see almost every night there are rich people drunk there," said Sarah.
Another resident, Heru (44), assessed that from the beginning of the construction of the JPO, the needs of the community were not taken into account. The existence of stairs is actually an obstacle, especially for elderly users.
"People are lazy to climb stairs. Especially the elderly, they don't want to be strong," said Heru.
Meanwhile, the Head of the Kampung Rambutan Bus Terminal, Revi Zulkarnain, emphasized that the management of the JPO was not under his authority.
"That (JPO) is not our domain, but Bina Marga," said Revi.
