Federal aid needed to solve traffic woes in Bayan Baru
GEORGE TOWN: The state government will continue to pressure the Federal Government to help alleviate traffic jams in Bayan Baru, said Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng.
“We will ask for allocation for road widening projects especially on federal roads in the state.
“We are helpless in solving this perennial issue as we cannot do much because these roads belong to the Government,” he said.
“What we can do is to continue ‘pressing’ the Federal Government to either widen the roads or provide a bypass for motorists in congested areas,” he said, adding that such congestions often took place along federal roads such as Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah or Jalan Tun Dr Awang.
On the state’s effort to alleviate such problems, Lim said the state would carry out a project in Paya Terubong to help ease traffic jams in the area.
“The current traffic problems in Bayan Baru are also related to Paya Terubong.
“We have to check both Bayan Baru and Paya Terubong as we do not want to simply transfer traffic bottlenecks,” he said.
Lim was commenting on the issue of traffic jams in Bayan Baru during a dialogue session with residents of Mahsuri Apartments in Bayan Baru here yesterday.
