Kidex highway to affect 3,784 plots of land - StarProperty.my

Kidex highway 

Posted on September 19, 2013 - FeaturedProperty News.

BY SHEILA SRI PRIYA
SHEILASRIPRIYA@THESTAR.COM.MY

Proposed route: Rajiv (right) with a map of the highway.

A total of 3,784 lots of land, mostly in Petaling Jaya, may be acquired by the Government for the proposed Kinrara-Damansara Expressway (Kidex).

There are houses and commercial buildings on the land and industrial activities are carried out there as well.

The matter was highlighted by Bukit Gasing assemblyman Rajiv Risyakara and Petaling Jaya city councillor Lee Suet Sen.

Kidex is estimated to cost RM2.2bil, with a planned 13km highway route.

The expressway will connect Sprint Highway (near Bandar Utama) and pass through areas such as Tropicana Mall, SSTwo Mall, Rothman's traffic light, Section 14, Amcorp Mall, Hilton Petaling Jaya, Jalan Templer roundabout, Taman Dato Harun, Taman Medan Baru and Bandar Kinrara.

However, they said they were disappointed that Kidex and the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) did not hold talks or brief residents and the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) on the matter.


"I believe the plan is almost ready by now" said Rajiv."We hope LLM and Kidex will at least brief MBPJ over the proposal and provide the latest highway plan soon.

He said he only found out about Kidex after obtaining a copy of a letter from the Land and Mines Department and the Natural Resources and Environment Ministry on the matter.

"The letter dated July 31 notifies affected landowners that an inspection of the lots may be conducted in view of the highway project," said Rajiv.

"Those living in Section 14 and Bukit Gasing might be affected by this highway plan, based on the initial proposed plan," he said.

Landowners and residents can visit MBPJ or the Bukit Gasing assemblyman's office to check if their lot will be acquired for the project.

Meanwhile, Lee said the cost involved for the project could be used to build the LRT.

"Providing public transportation is a better option then building highways," he said.

Thank you YB; for bring the matter up at DUN


Extract from ADUN YB Yeo Bee Yin's speech in Dewan Undangan Rakyat recently..........


"Puan Speaker, pengurusan sungai bukan sahaja hanya untuk mengelakkan banjir kilat, ia juga berhubung kait dengan keselamatan penduduk yang tinggal di bangunan-bangunan di tepi tebing sungai. Di Damansara Utama, keruntuhan sebahagian tebing sungai Sungai Penchala dan Sungai Kayu Ara telah menyebabkan kelemahan strucktur bangunan di atas tebing sungai. Ini amat membahayakan dan boleh dikatakan disaster in the waiting (dengan izin). Oleh itu, saya berharap kerajaan negeri boleh mengambil berat tentang pengurusan tebing sungai di Damansara Utama, iaitu Sungai Kayu Ara dan Sungai Penchala supaya rakyat Damansara Utama yang tinggal berhampiran tebing sungai boleh hidup dengan aman dan selamat."

Sound Dampeners along LDP flyover

Somehow and with not much reason Litrak did the correct thing: by erecting sound dampeners along the flyover which was initially promised but then long overdue.

Why it took so long? This should be their top most priority! Was it because of pressure by DOE after our 2~3 complaints to the Department with the sound study evidence?

承包商马虎清河道 淤泥堆河岸居民怕水灾

承包商马虎清河道 淤泥堆河岸居民怕水灾

  • 水利灌溉局的承包商把河床里挖出的淤泥堆积在河岸, 一旦下雨就流回河中。

(吉隆坡1日讯)水利灌溉局承包商马虎清理河道工程,在挖掘河床后,却将淤泥堆在河岸,居民担心下雨时淤泥会流入河中,继而引发水灾。

早前在白沙罗乌达马大淹水事件获得水利灌溉局的关注及承诺在卡尤阿拉河进行河道清理工程,但是其委任的承包商工作态度草率,仅将河床里挖出的淤泥,甚至是枯树堆积在河岸。

当地居民发现此情况后,感到不满,于是向百乐镇区候任州议员杨美盈投诉,希望有关当局能够敦促承包商继续工程。

杨美盈今天连同居民一同实地考察,她指出,若是下雨时,堆积在河岸的淤泥若冲回到河中,并没有解决到该区淹水的问题。

她指出,当地的居民昨日已把对此事的投诉信件呈交给水利灌溉局,不过她今天也会以州议员的身分发信给当局,一来促承包商继续展开工程,二来促他们把堆积在河岸的淤泥清理,同时并要建筑河提,以防止淹水事件重演。


不过她强调,她呈交信件的用意并非责怪水利灌溉局,而是希望他们能够继续工程。


恐捷运工程加剧坍塌 居协盼修复河堤

SS21花园居民协会主席拉杰斯解释,卡尤阿拉河在下大雨时,水位上升得很快,这造成在4月杪发生前所未有的水灾,水淹至路面,并涉及到42A区住宅单位。


承包商应认真看待

他指出,在淹水事件发生后,水利灌溉局主任拿督阿末胡沙尼与居民会面,并由其代表嘉马委派现在的承包商。

“水利灌溉局的承包商工作态度并不是我们想要的,我希望该局能够确保他们认真工作。”

他也希望该局也一并修复卡尤阿拉河倒塌逾两年时的河堤,因为下个星期起这里就要开始捷运工程,这工程将会加剧河堤倒塌的现象。

另外,他也希望当局把堆积在河岸的淤泥搬走,并且种植树木,以防止河岸再受侵蚀。

3rd Meeting with MRT (on site of Pillar 08 + 09)

The event was on 30th May, Thursday at 5.30pm. It was a very good session. Many residents showed up.

All parties from KVMRT were present i.e. MRT Corp, MGJV (PDP), and Mudajaya (main contractor).

Discussions were in reference to concerns brought up during the #2nd Meeting. There were impromptu Q+A with residents particularly with those staying nearer to the track.

Some additional concerns were raised. The main one was about the clearing of land and cutting of the old trees. Residents request MRT to start planting back some fast growing trees (monocotyledon types e.g. Bamboo, Palm, etc) around the perimeter barricade to "Green" back the area. These Greens, besides from being able to improve the aesthetic surrounding, can also greatly help to act as natural Silt Traps, Noise Dampener, and to reduce reflected heat from the metal barricade and barren surrounding.

Session adjourned at around 7pm with parties promising to come back on some outstanding issues. Also we have agreed to hold another follow up meeting (#4th Session) sometime in Sept '13 ie after Hari Raya.

Key timeliness for the project that will affect us is the construction of the pillars. This is anticipated to start by around Aug '13~Sept '13. The next follow up session then will be timely.

Residents want solution for Sungai Kayu Ara’s erosion problem

Residents want solution for Sungai Kayu Ara’s erosion problem

By VINCENT TAN
vincent.tan@thestar.com.my

THE banks along Sungai Kayu Ara, particularly behind Jalan SS21/42A, are eroding and residents are worried about flashfloods occurring the next time there is a downpour and the river overflows.

“Residents have been complaining to the Drainage and Irrigation Department (DID) about this problem for the past 10 years but nothing was done until recently when the department promised to send a contractor to carry out remedial works last week.

“However, this also came to nothing as the contractor failed to show up,” said Damansara Utama Residents and Owners Association president Rajes Patel.

He said residents found this out when they called the DID to check and were told that the previous contractor’s services had been terminated and a new one appointed.

The residents were told the new contractor would come yesterday to rectify the problem.
 
“Once again, no one came,” said Rajes.
The residents also said that during the recent rainy spell, water levels at the river had risen.

“Luckily, we are in the middle of a dry spell.

“Otherwise, we have to worry about floods,” he said.

Damansara Utama assemblyman Yeo Bee Yin said besides Jalan SS21/42A, Kampung Cempaka, which was further downstream, was also at risk of flashfloods due to erosion problems at Damansara Utama.
“Currently, the short-term plans that residents discussed with DID involve dredging the river bed, which has become shallow due to silt.

“However, a long-term, holistic plan is needed to resolve the problem,” said Yeo.

She said additional funding from the Federal Government would be necessary for this, adding that the Selangor DID only had a budget of RM50mil, allocated for maintenance of all the rivers in the state.
Residents M. Selvaraj and Phyllis Teh said the collapsed section previously had a gabion wall to check erosion, but it had since been washed away.

“In fact, a tree, that was uprooted when the banks collapsed seven years ago and fell into the river is still found stuck there.

“This says a lot about the lack of maintenance,” said Teh.

A call to the state DID revealed that the new contractor had already received his letter of appointment and had been given approximately one month to repair the collapsed banks as well as dredge the river bed.

Blog opened (on trial), updates made by Email

Dear All,

You all are free to try this out. I have opened a section of the Blog so that posting can be made directly by Email. This is still on trial stage.

If it works well, then the entire process of updating it can be automated. Residents/exco/members can be empowered to directly contribute by just (a) sending in the emails directly to the blog email address, or (2) allocate a special access vocal residents, as regular columnist, to update.

The current trial email update address is; d.utama21.exco@blogger.com. Please help to do in some things for testing purposes. You may post anything from food, travel, etc, (but non political) and ideally add some pictures to it, and email it to the address mentioned. Your article will be automatically posted (but subject to vetting if necessary).

All updates to this subblog (du21r-a.blogspot.com) will automatically show up directly at the main blow (du21r.blogspot.com). The process is similar with that of USJ Community Blog. Infact they are the first to have the residents' blog and have good regular contributors.

Your feedback here.
