Syarikat Prasarana Negara Berhad (Prasarana) will be displaying the proposed alignment for the LRT extension line project for both Kelana Jaya and Ampang for a period of three months beginning 15th September.
The Ampang Line LRT extension will start from the Sri Petaling station, passing through Kinrara and Puchong areas before ending at Putra Heights, covering a distance of 17.7 kilometres with 13 new stations. Meanwhile the Kelana Jaya LRT extension will begin from Kelana Jaya station, passing through Subang Jaya and USJ, before ending at Putra Heights, covering a distance of 17 kilometres with 13 stations.
The Prasarana MD has also stressed that the funding for the extension lines will be financed by the company, possibly through the use of bonds. The project will also be incorporating an open tender system in terms of contract deals.
Not all quarters seemed satisfied with the proposed extension lines. Last month, residents in Subang Jaya held a town hall meeting complaining that a station should have been set up in the heart of Sunway where there is a proliferation of foreign nationals as well as students.
In my opinion, i think this is very good idea development done by goverment. A lot of problem can be settle such as traffic congestion and residence area outside Kl can develop further (for example Putra Heights). So for improvement, company incharge need to add more parking area near the station. Using "park n ride system" with enough parking by built multi storey parking facility for FREE or at least RM1 per entry.
In addition, maybe 3 years from now if i get a job near KL or Shah Alam (InsyaAllah) i will buy house at Putra Heights, USJ or Subang Jaya. You know why? Because i hate all congestion in KL especially people and traffic.
