JALAN Tanjung in Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya, which has been opened one way to motorists from Tropicana to Bandar Utama, is expected to be turned into a public road.

On Wednesday, the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) put up a signboard near the SJKC Damansara announcing the proposal to to turn it into a public road.

Members of the public who would like to submit their objections could do so during the 30-day objection period between Dec 7 and Jan 5.

The road connecting Bandar Utama to Tropicana and its surrounding areas was closed on Nov 16 by the Bandar Utama City Corporation because a piece of land in front of the 1-Tech Park was owned by them.

Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim had ordered the road to be reopened one-way for 14 days to ease traffic congestion and to facilitate a traffic study.

The council said it would make a statement on this issue after a meeting between mayor Datuk Mohamad Roslan Sakiman and the mentri besar yesterday.

A spokesman from the Bandar Utama City Corporation said they would close the road on Dec 15, in accordance with the agreement with MBPJ.
