KAJANG, AUG 7: The State Government has set a target of building 1,000 kilometres (KM) of bicycle lanes across the country in five years.

Investment, Small & Medium Industries, Trade and Transport Exco, Dato’ Teng Chang Khim said, local authorities with City status must provide 20 KM bicycle lanes each year.

He said, local authorities with Municipality status must provide 10KM in their respective administrative area.

“Nevertheless, this year we are giving some leeway for Municipalities to provide 15KM first.

“If they fail to provide 15KM this year, it will be brought forward to next year where they would need to provide 35KM of bicycle lanes,” he said.

He was speaking at the Bandar Bukit Mahkota Community Hall Groundbreaking Ceremony and Smart Selangor Bus Route KJ02 and KJ03 Launch recently.

Teng said the bicycle route is a part of State Government’s agenda to provide a complete public transportation network to its citizens.

“I will monitor this myself so that the local authorities complete their tasks and we achieve the target.

“It requires everyone’s commitment to ensure Selangor continue to be the best with a perfect public transportation network to travel from home to destination,” he said.

Investment, Small & Medium Industries, Trade and Transport Exco, Dato’ Teng Chang Khim said, Klang Municipal Council (MPK) is in planning stage to ensure the market can continue its business as usual.

He said, the affected block will also be taken over by Prasarana Malaysia Bhd.

“Traders from Block C will be asked to move out, but still in that market compound,” he said when met at the Peduli Rakyat Carnival at the Community Hall, Taman Eng Ann, Klang, yesterday.

He said there are two LRT stations that will be built along the Meru road near the Pasar Besar Klang in front of the Malaysian Business Council (MBC).

However, he said the decision in still in the pipeline due to objections from some shop-owners near MBC.

“MRCB, Prasarana and MPK have held their first meeting with these shop-owners, which I myself had chaired, to discuss the LRT project in that area.

“All parties are advised to review the project and shop-owners are advised to appoint engineers to advise them.

“We will hold another meeting within these two weeks before MPK make its final decision,” he said.

“While Route Three is using MPSJ provisions of the same amount,” he said.

He said this at the launching of the Selangor Smart Bus for the new routes at the Bandar Puchong LRT Station on October 28.

He added that a total of 3.15 million people in Selangor use Selangor Smart Bus on all routes since its launch in July 2015 until September 30 this year.

Out of these, MPSJ was among the most popular area, utilising the free bus service with a record number of 590,000 users.

“MPSJ is an area that has attracted and encouraged many people to use public transportation, especially the Selangor Smart Bus.
