A RAMP which falls under the jurisdiction of two local councils has been not been maintained, with overgrown trees and dead leaves piling up on both sides of the road.
One side of the ramp near the Phileo Damansara commercial area in Section 16, is under the Petaling Jaya City Council (MPBJ) and the other under Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL).
The ramp takes motorists across to the Sprint Highway and into Jalan Damansara to get to Kuala Lumpur.
Part of the ramp near Kelab Golf Perkhidmatan Awam under DBKL has tree branches leaning over the road and motorists fear these may break during a storm.
Danger: Tree branches left to grow out into the ramp leading towards Kuala Lumpur. Dried leaves on the road have also not been cleared. Accounts executive Peggy Lam, 34, who works in Phileo Damansara, said the road was unkempt with dead leaves and rubbish collecting on the side of the road.
She said overgrown trees also posed a danger to motorcyclists, especially when it rained. The problem has been a long-standing issue since early 2006.
Beside the cleanliness problem, cars parked illegally along the ramp also makes it harder for motorists to manoeuvre the sharp turn.
MBPJ enforcement officers have on numerous occasions issued summonses and towed cars parked along the ramp yet many people still find it convenient to park their cars there to avoid paying for parking inside the commercial area.
MBPJ public relations officer Zainun Zakaria said the council had built the ramp but the maintenance on the part of the ramp near the golf club fell under DBKL.
A DBKL spokesman said they would send officers to check on the problem and determine if they had the jurisdiction to trim the trees.
