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)
