A Jogging Track for Sanur's Beachfront?
City Government Announces Plans to Clear Land for a Beach-side Boardwalk in Sanur.
(5/31/2004)
Mertasari Beach on Sanur's shoreline will soon have a boardwalk if the Municipal Government has its way. Plans were recently announced for the demolition of 83 permanent structures and approximately 150 temporary structures to clear the way for the construction of a beach side pedestrian walkway.
The City Government has allocated a limited amount of money for the project – Rp. 322 million (approximately US$ 33,900), to be used in demolishing the structures and preparing the area for the walkway's construction. Apparently no part of the designated funds have been set aside as compensation for those to be displaced by the project.
When exactly the demolition of the structures will commence remains unclear with the Local Government stating they are currently in the socialization stage of the project – selling the idea of the boardwalk to the local community.
