“The park looks like a ‘war zone’ with cement slabs dug up and tree stumps lying along the path. This makes me sad but I guess that is the price of development.”
Lost shade: Trees have been chopped down along the cycling track to make way for The Light Interchange along the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway. — ZHAFARAN NASIB/The Star
Construction of The Light Interchange, which is due for completion in November 2024, will result in the closure of the Bayan Lepas Bound emergency lane, existing walkway, bicycle lane and median. — ZHAFARAN NASIB/The Star “It is also the path that I use when training for upcoming marathons and other running events. Sometimes, I cycle along the path too,” said Tan, who is in her 30s.
“We made the decision after much deliberation as IJM Land has been actively maintaining the track as well as carrying out landscaping in the Linear Park at a cost of RM13,000 per month for the past nine years as one of our corporate social responsibility projects. “The construction of the interchange will result in three road junctions and a few elevated flyovers along the existing park hence ensuring public safety is imperative resulting in the decision to close the track,” she said in a statement.
“Once the interchange is completed, the maintenance for the Linear Park might be adopted by the MBPP subject to approvals from both LLM and DID,” she added. “IJM Land is committed to mitigating the impact of construction works by implementing a traffic management plan during the entire construction period by carrying out temporary traffic diversions or road closures during off-peak hours to reduce impact on road users,” she said.
