Head of Medan City Settlement, Cipta Karya and Spatial Planning Housing Office Endar Sutan Lubis in Medan, Monday, said the three gates stood firmly and were very charming to be seen.

"The three gates on the boundary of Medan City with Deli Serdang Regency are now also used by residents as new recreational objects because they are equipped with parks," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, July 31.

The third position of this gate is the Medan Pinang Baris City Limit Gapura on Jalan Gatot Subroto or Kampung Lalang, the Medan Amplas City Boundary Gap on Jalan Sisingamangaraja and the Medan Tuntung City Boundary Gap on Jalan Jamin Ginting.

Data from the Medan City Settlement, Cipta Karya and Spatial Planning Office last year stated that the three gates cost around Rp9.16 billion more than the Medan City 2022 APBD.

"By carrying out local ethnic identity, restoration is carried out because the Mayor wants to present a storefront as well as the identity of the city of Medan since the entrance," said Endar.

His party also explained that the concept of the design of the three gates has meaning and meaning, including the Medan Pinang Baris City Boundary Gapa in the head of the vision to the future, while the feet and body are based on cultural (roots).

The Medan Amplas City Boundary Gap, said Endar, has a meaning and meaning of design that is not much different from the Medan Pinang Baris City Boundary Gap.

Meanwhile, Gapura Medan Tuntung City Border has wind soup presentations and pepper collisions that prioritize the reduced identity of Karo and Malay ethnicities.

"This gate is equipped with an integrated intersection park with reforestation and vertical elements equipped with wind soup buildings as a symbol of Karo's custom," said Endar.
