JAKARTA - Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Ahmad Riza Patria admitted that he wanted to move the Citayam Fashion Week (CFW) activity from the Dukuh Atas zebra crossing to another location.

Riza views that currently the event to look stylish at the pedestrian crossing in the Sudirman area, Central Jakarta is not appropriate because the number of people participating is booming.

"Because everyone was very enthusiastic, people wanted to know, then the numbers exploded. Because the numbers were so large, what happened? So many people parked on sidewalks, bicycle lanes. Then, people couldn't walk, it was closed," said Riza at DKI Jakarta City Hall. , Monday, July 25.

Riza said that there are several locations that SCBD teenagers (Sudirman, Citayam, Bojonggede, Depok) can use to hold a CFW. Among them are the National Monument (Monas) and the Banteng Field Park.

"I suggest it could be at Monas, in the southern plaza area, which is new. You can sit there, there is a tribune. The place is spacious. Second, the Banteng Field Park, it is also spacious and cool," said Riza.

In addition to these two locations, Riza also saw that the Kota Tua, Senayan, and Kemayoran areas could also be CFW locations.

Now, the DKI Provincial Government is considering the most suitable locations for the fashion show. The community, he said, could participate in proposing other locations.

"Friends, please suggest what is cooler. I understand, friends there want a strategic place, easy to access. So, we appreciate appreciating it, but we will still find a solution," he explained.

Furthermore, the Deputy Governor of DKI also supports the Central Jakarta Metro Police which states that the function of the zebra crossing is a place for pedestrians to cross. Instead of being a place for catwalk fashion show activities.

"Later, celebrities, artists, and all of them who have talent in fashion shows can hold it at that location. Later we will find a place, we discussed it with all those involved. Don't walk in the middle of the road or at the zebra cross, it is very dangerous," he said.
