and is comparable to those of Singapore/Shanghai/Manhattan by night.
But what the report has failed to inform us is how the developers are going to tackle the traffic gridlock that such massive development is bound to cause. Anyone who is familiar with the area, bounded by Section 12, 14, and 17 will agree that the present roads like Jalan Kemajuan, Jalan Semangat and Jalan University are woefully inadequate even to address the current traffic jams, especially on Jalan University, except for Sundays.
What will happen to the traffic on these roads during the development phase, and worse when the project is fully completed? There are also two mosques in the area, and will Jalan Semangat and Jalan University be converted to 'parking lots' as businesses and worshippers jostle for space?
Petaling Jaya is certainly losing its soul as big businesses continue to pursue profits, to the detriment of everything else
