INDUSTRI pelancongan negara dijangka melonjak apabila beberapa laluan pejalan kaki bertingkat yang sebahagiannya berhawa dingin menghubungkan beberapa kawasan tarikan utama di ibu kota siap sepenuhnya tidak lama lagi.

Bagi fasa pertama, laluan menghubungkan Pusat Konvensyen Kuala Lumpur (KLCC) dan Hotel Impiana KLCC sepanjang 142 meter dijangka siap sepenuhnya Februari tahun depan.

Datuk Bandar Kuala Lumpur, Datuk Seri Ahmad Fuad Ismail berkata, pembinaan projek bernilai RM10 juta itu dimulakan April lalu.


Beliau berkata, Petronas menyumbang RM100 juta bagi pembangunan kemudahan membabitkan dua fasa itu seiring rancangan kerajaan mempromosi dan menggalakkan pertumbuhan industri pelancongan.


Katanya, anak syarikat Petronas, KLCC (Holdings) Sdn Bhd (KLCCH) dipertanggungjawab menguruskan peruntukan itu dengan Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) menjadi penyelaras utama.


“Untuk fasa kedua, laluan pejalan kaki bertingkat sepanjang 375 meter menghubungkan Hotel Impiana ke Stesen Monorel Jalan Raja Chulan dijadual siap tahun depan.


“Kita yakin jumlah RM100 juta itu mencukupi dan jika ada lebihan, mungkin akan digunakan untuk membina laluan pejalan kaki bertingkat di tempat lain pula,” katanya selepas merasmikan upacara menyimen laluan pejalan kaki bertingkat dan berhawa dingin menghubungkan KLCC dan Hotel Impiana KLCC di Kuala Lumpur, baru-baru ini.


Menurutnya, DBKL juga bercadang menyediakan lot gerai di beberapa laluan pejalan kaki yang berpotensi untuk disewa kepada peniaga.


“Ramai pelancong terutama dari Timur Tengah suka berjalan kaki sehingga larut malam dari satu destinasi ke satu destinasi dan dengan penyediaan laluan khusus menghubungkan lokasi strategik mampu menarik lebih ramai pelancong berkunjung ke negara ini,” katanya.

[rizalhakim]

thx sepul..
wahh...from Impiana Hotel to Monoraill Raja Chulan????

[LeeighIam]

well I don know much bout the project but don't ya think that best to connect buildings with high foot traffic volumn, like malls and tourist attractions than hotel/s? for example KLCC - Bukit Bintang?

[patchay]

i think the better idea is to connect Pavilion KL and KL Convention Centre... and Berjaya Times Square to Pavilion KL....

[razpatrol99]

Since the Impiana hotel is owned by them and most of PETRONAS function held overthere hence the walkaway... me think

what?? instant dream come true.. unbelievable or coincidence haaha

[proud_penangite]

i want it!!! yeahh

They should have considered an underground pass. I mean why are we not linking these buildings with underground pass and shops. All these pedestrian bridges if not done as nice as the one linking pavilion will look very obstructive.

From ETP open day.

This is what i can see for Bukit Bintang area. The plan calls for KLCC-BB shopping precinct.





- Seamless connectivity between shopping malls and hotels in the KLCC-BB shopping district

- Improve the business environment of the KLCC-BB area through the organisation of events

- Establish KLCC-BB tourism council to develop and manage this precinct



Comparisons are between KLCC-BB, Singapore's Orchard Road and HK's Causeway Bay.

probably... but this one come with the aircond while in bkk is more on open space. Besides, i dont think they will built it beneath the LRT/monorail structure like what in BKK (based on the pic above). Connecting all the malls with pedestrian walkways a brilliant idea i think. We can save alot on the parking fees while doing the malls hopping also there is no need to have near death experience while crossing the roads

Just one thing, dont allow all the beggars and "kaki pau" inside the walkaways. It will be an eyesore and also dangerous to the public especially during late night hours.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 28 (Bernama) -- The first phase of the covered pedestrian walkway project being built in the city will be ready in February next year, Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Minister Datuk Raja Nong Chik Datuk Raja Zainal Abidin said.

He said the walkway, which would also be equipped with facilities for the disabled people, was built to encourage the public to use public transport to reduce traffic congestion.

Raja Nong Chik, who visited the "Pedestrian Linkage" project near the Pasar seni on Tuesday, said the walkway between the Pasar Seni LRT station and Pasar Seni was now 90 per cent completed, while the walkway between the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) building at Jalan Raja Laut to the Bandaraya station was 40 per cent completed.

Work on the walkway from the Bandaraya station and Medan Tuanku is 10 per cent completed, he added.

He said a covered walkway between the Kuala Lumpur Convention Center (KLCC) and Impiana Hotel KLCC, being built by KLCC (Holdings) Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Petronas, was also scheduled for completion in February next year.
