Road too narrow for comfort Jalan 11/10 PJaya

Zainun, Referring to your comments in Road too narrow for comfort Jalan 11/10 could you also please contact the residents of house #28 and #46 Jalan 11/10 P Jaya, as they live DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE AFFECTED ROAD and they will be only too glad to agree that the MBPJ take action to widen the road. By the way, Section 11 does not have a RA, as most of them residing in Jalan 11/10 are illegal foreign workers and the rest of the Section are just sleeping. While you are checking on the road, please also look at the dilapidated condition of some of the houses there, especially from #18 to #30, they are even used to keep stacks of cardboard, old furniture, used newspapers? Can residential houses be used as stores, or maybe hostels?



Residents living along Jalan 11/10 in Section 11, Petaling Jaya, are tired of manoeuvring their vehicles in and out of the narrow road.
They want the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) to widen the road that will allow residents to park their vehicles without causing any obstruction.
Resident YS Tam said he had forwarded several emails on the matter to the council but that nothing had come out of this.

Wasted space: Tam showing the one metre space along the road shoulder where he has suggested to MBPJ to widen and level the road to allow motorists to park with ease.

“Widening Jalan 11/10 must be made a priority. When residents park their vehicles opposite the houses on the roadside, the path becomes too narrow for garbage trucks or larger vehicles to enter.
“School buses also find it difficult to drive along the road,” he said.
Tam pointed out that there was about one metre of space between the tarred road. But due to the uneven road shoulder, motorists did not want to risk parking there and damaging the undercarriage of their vehicles.
“We had a similar situation along Jalan 11/5 and the drains were covered up more than a decade ago. Recently, the council did the same in parts of Jalan 11/4 opposite Grand City Restaurant.
“Similar action can be taken along Jalan 11/10 and the problem will be resolved. We hope our request will not fall on deaf ears,” he added.
Tam said the safety of roadusers must be considered, especially when SK Sultan Alam Shah children used the road daily.
He said residents must also be notified when the council’s Engineering Department officers come to inspect the area.
When the matter was related to a Selangor Fire and Rescue Department officer, he said the narrow road would hamper them in an event of a fire.
He said the council should upgrade roads in the older neighbourhoods as well.
MBPJ public relations officer Zainun Zakaria said technicians from the Engineering Department would inspect the road and ascertain if it was suitable to cover the drains with metal gratings.
“We will appreciate it if a resident representative could be present to provide feedback,” she said.
