Twenty-three pedestrian bridges and a busy walkway in the city have been declared unsafe by the police.
City police has come out with a list detailing the bridges which need attention – mainly for lack of lighting and visibility which were ideal for crime.
This has stung the Kuala Lumpur City Hall into action, with the local authority saying the bridges will be repaired or upgraded within two weeks.
Federal Territories Gerakan anti-crime and public safety bureau chief Lim Teck Ang, who disclosed this, said advertisement boards fixed to the bridges would be removed as they were blocking users’ view.
Lights will also be replaced or installed to ensure the bridges are well lit at all times,” he added.
Lim, who had highlighted the problem to city police, said the roof of several bridges were too low.
“City Hall will replace them to allow more lighting and visibility,’’ he added.
“Eleven of the bridges were deemed too dark, seven were covered by advertisement boards and trees with the rest not well-maintained,” he added.
The bridges included those in Jalan Pahang, Jalan Genting Klang, Jalan Gombak (Off Jalan Chong Hwa and Batu 5), Jalan Ipoh, MRR2, Abdullah Hukum, Jalan Pantai Baru and Bangsar. The walkway identified was the one linking KL Sentral to the Brickfields monorail station.

My comment
I realised that all above stated areas are under opposition, thus it could be a political fiasco, to get voters to vote for Bee Ann.
