A 400-square-meter area under the KRL rail crossing in Karang Anyar, Sawah Besar, once neglected, has been transformed into a well-organized green open space.

Karang Anyar Urban Village head Matani explained the development of the first-quarter 2026 priority area was carried out from January to March by 10 Public Infrastructure and Facilities Handling (PPSU) personnel.

"We collaborated with several OPDs to support lighting and provide plants," he said on Thursday (4/9).

He added that the newly developed area has been named RTH Utara, featuring sports facilities and a space for community interaction.

"We hope residents can make good use of RTH Utara for positive activities and refrain from damaging existing facilities or littering," he asserted.

Meanwhile, Lukmanul, 55, a resident of RT 01/RW 05, said the upgraded space beneath the rail line has made a positive difference for residents.

"I usually go jogging with my wife or child while enjoying this area under the rail line, which is now clean and pleasant," he said.

He also expressed his appreciation to the Karang Anyar Urban Village administration for improving the area, making it beneficial for nearby residents.

"Hopefully, residential areas in Karang Anyar will become more orderly and greener," he added.
