The East Flood Canal is soon to emerge as the most popular and safest place for bikers to ride in Jakarta.
Pitoyo Subandrio, head of Ciliwung-Cisadane Flood Bureau at the Ministry of Public Works, said Saturday a bicycle track would be built along each side of the canal, which stretches between Kebon Nanas in East Jakarta and Marunda Beach in North Jakarta.
The left track between Kebon Nanas and Marunda covers 23 kilometers, while the opposite track covers 22 kilometers.
“We are planting trees along the tracks to make them convenient to bikers. I believe the canal will be the most popular route,” Pitoyo was quoted by kompas.com.
The government will build barb wire fences along the canal to keep people from dumping garbage into the flood control facility.
