LITTERING and non-pedestrian-friendly walkways are among the problems identified in Taipan, USJ 10.
During a recent inspection by personnel from the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) engineering department, MPSJ councillor Rajiv Rishyakaran noticed that the roadsides, backlanes and certain corners in front of the shops were littered with rubbish.
Bad condition: A backlane in Taipan, USJ 10. Wooden planks, broken chairs and umbrellas were among the items discarded, contributing to the ugly sight in the commercial area and a stretch of walkway in Jalan USJ 10/1B was obstructed by fallen cylindrical pots.
There was even a small metal pole sticking out from the ground, posing a danger to pedestrians.
Other problems include missing drain covers, poor road condition and flower pots becoming mosquito-breeding grounds.
Rajiv said he had asked the engineering department to look into tarring the roads and upgrading the walkways.
“My aim is to have a clear and easily accessible walkway from any one point to another point in Taipan so that the pedestrians do not have to walk on the roads.
“Ideally, there should be trees wherever possible and in the long term, the paths should be disabled friendly, too,” he said.
