Some 200 -300 Subang Jaya residents welcomed the proposal for the LRT extension to their township but unanimously agreed that it should not be built through residential areas during the recent meeting on the proposed LRT service last Saturday ( July 25 ) at the 3K complex multipurpose hall.A resident, who introduced himself as Chong, said: “While we welcome the LRT, make sure it won’t fly over my house,” as the residents applauded upon hearing his opinion.
The proposed 17km route will continue from the Kelana Jaya line and run through the Subang Jaya KTM station, Kesas Highway, Jalan Jengka, Persiaran Kewajipan, Summit USJ, Taipan USJ, up to Putra Heights.
Prasarana Grp MD, Datuk Idrose informed that there would be park-and-ride facilities at three of the stations, including at the Subang Jaya KTM station, with multi-level catering up to 1,000 to 1,500 cars. He goes on to say that said the LRT will serve to take cars off the road and it will cater to 1.4 million people, hence there will be less congestion in the Jalan Kewajipan and Jalan Jengka.
