he Jakarta administration plans to develop a dedicated 4-kilometer bicycle lane from Jl. Suryopranoto to Harmoni in Central Jakarta later this year.
Jakarta Bina Marga (Roads) Agency head Yusmada Faizal said the lane would be 1.5 to 2 meters wide. He said the agency would also fix sidewalks along the road.
The agency, he said, would widen the sidewalks from 1.5 meters to 3 meters
'Motorists rarely pass through this area so it is better that we develop the bicycle lane. We aim to complete the development this year,' Yusmada said as quoted by beritajakarta.com, adding that to develop the bicycle lane and fix and widen the sidewalks the city administration had allocated a total of Rp 6 billion (US$411,676).
Yusmada said the city administration would provide bicycle lanes in Jl. Sudirman, South Jakarta, and Kota Tua, West Jakarta, next year.
