MENGGATAL ENTRANCE SHOULD BE WIDEN




THE DBKK is at the moment carrying out some beautification improvement work at the road entrance to the Menggatal town. The plan is to build a garden at the entrance plus rearranging the road kerbs and drainage here.

Sabah DAP was alerted about this work and there are some suggestion made by the people here concerning the work. Edward Ewol Mujie and the KK MP Hiew King Cheu attended to the request and had contacted the DBKK to inform them about the request by the people in Menggatal. The people have requested the road entrance to the town to be widened by at least another 10 feet to ease the traffic flow and the congestion created by the bottle neck.

There are two way of flow of cars at the same narrow road into the town, therefore it is necessary to widen the road to avoid collision of the incoming cars. The space used for the garden should be converted to a car park for the people, because the cars in the town are getting more everyday, and there are just not car parks here.

Edward said once the entrance is widened, the tendency of car accident happening will surely be reduced and the flow of traffic will be much better and faster. He said it would not be any extra work done but the effect is great. The space there will be ideal to be converted into parking lots of at least twenty numbers.

The DBKK has been informed, and they have acknowledged the request from the people. (DAP Media)
