AMENITIES IMPROVEMENTS
Along Jalan Wong Ah Fook, a number of amenities have been provided. The presence of railing along one pedestrian pathway and the Planter boxes provide a definite boundary between the main road and the pathway. This gives a sense of security and a provides a comfortable environment to the users. Fire Hydrants are provided less than 45 meters from each other. Zebra crossings are available for the pedestrians to cross over to the other side. Sufficient dustbins result in a cleaner environment.
In comparison to Jalan Wong Ah Fook, The amenities at Jalan Trus are limited and less organised. The insufficient amount of dustbins leads to garbage disposal by the locals along the pedestrian street. The absence of zebra crossing and railings along the pedestrian streets also gives a sense of insecurity to the pedestrians. There is no definite boundary between a pedestrian walkway and the main road along Jalan Wong Ah Fook, which results in Motorbikers to use the pathway causing a lesser number of pedestrians to use that path.
Site B sits between the unique topography provides a unique character that soften the edge between Jalan Wong Ah Fook and Jalan Trus
