Catch 22@PJ: Park vs Path

MBPJ spent almost RM 450,000 to construct a barrier free walkway in the vicinity of SS2 Town Centre. The path is meant for people with disabilities to have easy accessibility and connectivity from place to place. This passage will enable all walk of life for easy movement, without fail and obstruction. We have, however facing the problem of parking at the same time. People are complaining about lack of parking space. Most of the time cars are parked on the road shoulders or even the walkway, thus blocking the pedestrian flow. The barrier free walkway in SS2 does not escape from this problem. The problem was aggravated with the mushrooming and presence of bridal shops along Jalan SS2/24. While parking is a concern for the shop operators and customers, they should have refrained from parking on the path way and victimised the pedestrian especially people with disabilities. It is a social responsibility for making an inclusive society by being more considerate. I will prefer path over the park, after all we can find a legitimate parking lot some where, may be with some distance instead of taking the right away from some one.
