THE MUCH anticipated decision by the Selangor state government on the Jalan Tanjung issue will only be knwon on Monday.
“We will meet both developers today and make the decision on Monday,” said Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim after the Selangor Economic Action Council (MTES) meeting at the SUK building in Shah Alam.
Representatives of residents associations for and against the Jalan Tanjung road closure were also invited for the meeting to present their views on the matter.
The road in Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya, connecting Bandar Utama and Tropicana was closed on Nov 16 by the Bandar Utama developer without notice.
It was earlier announced that the road would first be turned into a one-way traffic flow for six months before being closed.
Jalan Tanjung was used as a temporary access road 12 years ago and the Bandar Utama developer owns part of the land in front of the Bandar Utama Technology Park.
Subang MP Sivarasa Rasiah, who was also present at the meeting, said they were not only looking at solving the Jalan Tanjung issue, but also the overall traffic problems in the area.
The road will remain closed until a decision is made.
As a temporary measure, the Petaling Jaya City Council has changed the timing of the traffic lights at the Lebuh Bandar Utama to ease the traffic congestion due to the extra load of vehicles coming out of Persiaran Tropicana.
