TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Jakarta provincial administration has prepared 32 locations for the car-free day (CFD) event that will be opened starting Sunday, June 28, 2020, as the alternative for the weekly event on Jalan Sudirman-Thamrin that has been closed again temporarily.
The CFD in Sudirman-Thamrin was reopened on Sunday, June 21, after Covid-19 closure and was then suspended again due to a massive crowd in the area. The city’s Transportation Agency head, Syafrin Liputo, said the 32 locations were set up in five administrative city areas.
“We have evaluated the reopening of the CFD on Sunday. We have decided to prepare alternate locations to distribute the mass that flocks at one point,” said Syafrin in his written statement, Wednesday, June 24.
Of the 32 substitute locations, Syafrin added, there are seven designated areas and 25 roads for the public to do exercise. Later, the Jakarta administration would also mobilize supervisory officers from the transportation agency and the Public Order Agency or Satpol PP.
“The public is urged to be disciplined in implementing health protocols,” he asserted, adding that the policy was issued to break down the crowd when they perform outdoor exercises.
