The Jakarta Provincial Government through Public Works Agency welcomed residents' feedback, suggestions, and concerns regarding plans to build flyovers at several priority locations across the city.

The agency acknowledged residents' concerns about traffic congestion during construction, as well as suggestions to ease congestion through better traffic management and crack down on public transportation vehicles that stop in unauthorized locations.

Jakarta Public Works Agency Data and Information Center Head Siti Dinarwenny stressed that the primary purpose of the flyover and underpass projects is to improve safety by reducing the risk of fatal accidents and eliminating level crossings.

According to Wenny, railway crossing gates are being closed more frequently as train services continue to increase, particularly for the KRL Commuter Line, long-distance trains, and the airport rail link.

She said the longer gate closures have resulted in severe traffic queues while significantly increasing the risk of accidents that could endanger road users.

"Building flyovers is a permanent solution the government has prepared ahead of the full closure of level crossings at these high-risk locations," she pointed, Monday (7/6).

Wenny said the Jakarta Public Works Agency is committed to carrying out the project with careful planning to minimize disruptions to the public during construction.

She added that the agency would work closely with the Jakarta Transportation Agency and the Metro Jaya Police Traffic Directorate to implement traffic management measures tailored to conditions at each construction site.

According to Wenny, the flyover projects are part of a broader infrastructure strategy that complements non-physical traffic management measures.

She ensured that public suggestions, including stricter enforcement against public transportation vehicles that pick up and drop off passengers outside designated stops, upgrading pedestrian facilities such as pelican crossings and pedestrian bridges, and improving traffic signal management, remain key priorities for the Jakarta Public Works Agency and the Jakarta Transportation Agency.

"We have taken note of public feedback on other congestion hotspots, including Daan Mogot, Cengkareng, TB Simatupang, and other areas. These will continue to be assessed as part of our technical studies for possible implementation," she said.

The agency also noted that the construction of grade-separated intersections is mandated by national railway safety laws and regulations and falls under the responsibility of regional governments.

For legal summaries in news articles, I'd keep them concise, accurate, and reader-friendly, rather than translating every provision literally. Here's how I'd render them:

The legal basis for the projects includes:

1. Law No. 23/2007 on Railways

- Article 91(1): Crossings between roads and railway tracks must be grade-separated.

2. Government Regulation No. 56/2009 on Railway Operations

- Article 75: Crossings between roads and railway tracks must be grade-separated.

- Article 76(1): Grade-separated crossings referred to in Article 75 may take the form of flyovers or underpasses.

3. Transportation Ministerial Regulation No. 94/2018 on Improving Safety at Level Crossings Between Railways and Roads

- Article 55(1): Existing level crossings referred to in Article 2(4) must, within five years of the regulation's enactment:

a) Be equipped with level crossing safety equipment;

b) Be converted into grade-separated crossings, such as flyovers or underpasses; or 

c) Be closed if an alternative route is available or after appropriate traffic management measures have been implemented.
