TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Jakarta Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok) launched a movement of national public accessibility and inaugurate a disability and elderly-friendly `Portal S` sidewalk, exactly in front of the Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Central Jakarta, Saturday (5/28).
Ahok said that he will keep adding the disability and elderly-friendly sidewalk in some streets.
"The street is actually narrowed, but three lanes are made consistant, because if there are four lanes, it will lead to traffic jam. So three lanes are better, thus no more public transports stop haphazardly," he stated, on Jl Diponegoro on Saturday (5/28).
He added that such sidewalk is also equipped with a guiding block to help the blind people.
