The Cart and Sidewalk

The day was Tuesday morning, January 12, 2010 by going to the place of work until Monday at the intersection towards Tugu Tani who could not then have to turn straight to take a route through the Kwini 1 streets, but only until the building of National Awakening (STOVIA) vehicles must stop because the queue of vehicles long enough due to the traffic lights are too long. It was not making this up to say so, given a beggar, moving from a place of traffic lights have been installed to the place where I was riding the vehicle stops.

While still waiting for the queue, on the sidewalk looked a man and his cart stopped patiently waiting line of vehicles that still did not move.
Apparently, the cart can not continue along the pavement is not far because there are stakes in front of her, stone, and a narrow planter pavement making it impossible to pass by the cart. So to go on the cart had to go down past the paved road reserved for vehicles, but for that he also had to be patient waiting for a vehicle that was stopped waiting for traffic lights at the other end is not yet green lit.

The width of the existing pavement width is only about 1.5 meter or five feet (five foot) and luckily the narrow sidewalks are not used by the traders to open a stall selling there as we can be found on sidewalks that are usually located at the points in the crowd as offices, shopping centers, or shelter. However, although not occupied by traders, these pavements still can not be used for the cart through there comfortably, because at certain points there are just things that can disrupt the user experience on the sidewalk there.

In addition to planned the streets, the users comfort is related matters to think about, street scape and street furniture, such as drainage systems, utility systems, electrical, and equally important is the user experience sidewalks, accessories such as garbage cans, lawn chairs, and trees would be more comfortable, since we are in the tropics. Time has come for the government of our cities begin to think of things like this from when started making the city development plan, considering the city is to where we live together.

After waiting long enough, eventually vehicle began to move slowly but the man with cart seems still had to wait a while longer to continue his journey.
