CIBINONG - The Regent of Bogor, West Java, Ade Yasin admitted that he was annoyed that Sentul Alternative Road, which was recently repaired at a cost of IDR 32 billion, was used as a parking lot for large trucks at night.

"I have instructed the Head of the Transportation Agency and Kasatpol PP to control the parked trucks, for fear that the road will be damaged again and the road will be repaired," he said in Cibinong, Bogor, as reported by Antara, Monday, April 4.

He said that the team of park rangers or park rangers consisting of several agencies in the Bogor Regency Government (Pemkab) should from the beginning prohibit the trucks loaded with goods from parking on the Sentul Alternative Street segment.

A few months ago, the Bogor Regency Government established a park ranger to monitor the beauty of the capital's face in the Cibinong Raya area. The team consisting of the Satpol PP, the Environment Service (DLH), the Housing and Settlement Areas (DPKPP), and the Transportation Service work 24 hours.

Every day there are around 100 park rangers patrolling the Sentul Circuit Intersection to Jalan Tegar Beliman Cibinong. The hundreds of park rangers are assigned three shifts, so each shift involves about 40 park rangers.

The reason is that the Bogor Regency Government 2021 will use a regional budget of IDR 356.5 billion for a program to beautify the face of the capital city or the City Beautification Project, including improving the quality of Sentul Alternative Road worth IDR 32 billion.

The use of the budget is spread across four regional apparatuses, namely IDR 328 billion to the Public Works and Spatial Planning Office, IDR 21 billion to the Department of Housing, Settlement Areas, IDR 437 million to the Department of Environment, and IDR 7.3 billion to the Department of Transportation.

According to him, through this program, Bogor Regency now has a new icon, namely the Pancakarsa Monument. He believes that the monument that was built at the Sentul Circuit Junction has a dual function, namely to beautify the face of the capital city and break up traffic jams in the area.
