Sidewalk Bandung: inhuman and horrible

A town ought to be designed to become humanitarian and friendly place for pedestrian. Such statement actually has often is thrown, but till now only until storey "speaks no sense". Perhaps and hardly might be, pedestrian is assumed member of class "very under". Commercially and assumed not to deliver advantage so that the existence is remain to is disregarded.

Although , sidewalk express how far appreciation of town organizer to pedestrian. Balmy pavement can make the pedestrians, good the elderly, young clan, children and also they defect of physical, can enjoy it without feeling uncomfortable.

Pavement in Bandung as well as in big towns its another in Indonesia have been not anymore pedestrian rights a lot since have already changes over function. Function of pavement in walking Otto iskandardinata, around area Tegalega and in downtown Bandung has turned into place of effort for cloister merchant.

Nearing holiday of Idul fitri and New Year, pavement as wide as two meter in the street only remains around semi meter. The pedestrians must run milling around with prospect. Even careless is rather only, wrong of purse and contents of poke can make a move to pickpocket hand. Not rarely is between pedestrian humanity is each other bump against approach with growl because the foot / feet is stepped.

Since that some other places, sidewalk have also changed function to become farm to park so that a professor as Prof. Dr. Ir. Otto Soemarwoto is having exasperation to walk, cannot help mlipar-mlipir among car back, because pavement in front of its(the grandchild school building in walking RE Martadinata is made farm to park.

In a state of difficult economics as now, awareness of urban community Bandung to walk when go actually not necessarily be questionable again. Various research shows by foot is activity of town every day its.

Ironically, from the pavement besides a lot has changed function, the condition is also concerns. In walking padjadjaran, sidewalk body height reaches approximant half meter so that hardly complicates the pedestrians.
