Jalan layang di Bulak Kapal segera di bangun

Jalan layang di Bulak Kapal segera di bangun.Pemerintah Kota Bekasi,
Jawa Barat, mengharapkan partisipasi masyarakat dalam merealisasikan
sejumlah proyek infrastruktur melalui kesadaran dan kerelaan bilamana
lahan tempat tinggalnya menjadi target pembebasan.

"Tanpa peran serta masyarakat, berbagai pekerjaan proyek infrastruktur
bisa mandeg. Akibatnya berbagai upaya memecahkan permasalahan publik pun
akan sulit direalisasikan," kata Kepala Dinas Bina Marga dan Tata Air
Pemerintah Kota (Pemkot) Bekasi Tri Adhianto di Bekasi, Kamis.

Proyek infrastruktur yang membutuhkan pembebasan lahan itu antara lain
rencana pelebaran jalan dari simpang Pondok Hijau hingga pom bensin/SPBU
Jatimulya.

Pelebaran jalan rencananya juga dilakukan di sekitar jembatan atas tol
Jakarta-Cikampek dekat pintu tol Bekasi Timur yang dibarengi dengan
pembangunan jembatan layang Bulak Kapal.

Kedua proyek tersebut dimaksudkan untuk mengurai kemacetan yang selama
ini mengular di sekitar pintu tol Bekasi Timur hingga mengekor sampai
Jatimulya dan Bulak Kapal.

"Jalan menuju Mustikajaya melalui Jatimulya selama ini selalu macet
karena adanya penyempitan di ruas dekat pom bensin. Lebar jalan yang
hanya tujuh meter tak sebanding dengan volume kendaraan yang setiap saat
melintasinya. Apalagi banyak pula kendaraan berat yang melintas menuju
sejumlah lokasi industri yang ada di sekitarnya," katanya.

Berbekal bantuan dari Pemerintah Provinsi Jawa Barat senilai Rp35
miliar, jalan yang mengalami penyempitan itu rencananya diperlebar 3
meter hingga 3,5 meter.

Mengenai rencana pembangunan jembatan layang Bulak Kapal, menurut Tri,
kehadirannya dibutuhkan untuk menjadi solusi kemacetan saat permasalahan
di sekitar pintu tol Bekasi Timur telah teratasi melalui pelebabaran
jembatan yang melintang di atas jalan tol Jakarta-Cikampek.

"Kalau di sana beres, kemacetan kemungkinan besar berpindah ke sekitar
Bulak Kapal. Solusi penanganan yang dipersiapkan berupa pembangunan
jalan layang yang akan dikerjakan oleh Kementerian Pekerjaan Umum," katanya.

Meski demikian, pembebasan lahan untuk pembangunan fisik jembatan layang
tetap dibebankan kepada Pemkot Bekasi yang diberi waktu dua tahun hingga
2015 untuk melaksanakannya.

Dari total kebutuhan Rp200 miliar untuk pembebasan lahan, tahun ini
Pemkot Bekasi telah menyiapkan Rp50 miliar.

"Kami berharap proyek-proyek ini lancar, segera terealisasi. Maka dari
itu kami sangat mengharapkan kelegowoan masyarakat untuk merelakan
lahannya dibebaskan demi kepentingan umum," ucapnya.

Toyota To Recall

Apakah anda memiliki mobil toyota? Coba check berita di bawah ini bahwa
Toyota akan melakukan Toyota to recall.
TOKYO (Reuters) - Toyota Motor Corp , in its second-largest recall
announcement, said on Wednesday that it would call back 6.39 million
vehicles globally, and analysts saw automakers increasingly turning to
recalls rather than risk bad publicity or legal costs.

Rival General Motors Co is in the midst of its own recall of 2.6 million
cars related to an ignition switch problem, which has been linked to at
least 13 deaths.
Toyota, the world's biggest automaker said, it was not aware of any
crashes or injuries caused by the glitches, which were found in 27
Toyota models including the RAV4 and Yaris subcompact. It uncovered five
different faults involving parts ranging from steering to seats.

Toyota said problems were also found in the Pontiac Vibe and the Subaru
Trezia, two models the automaker built for General Motors and Fuji Heavy
Industries .

The automaker did not say how much the recalls would cost, and it was
not clear if the faults stemmed from Toyota's suppliers or its
manufacturing process.

The move by Toyota to announce five different recalls on a single day
from Tokyo comes as major automakers face increasing scrutiny in the
United States on how quickly they take preventive safety action and how
quickly they share information with regulators and the public.

Toyota agreed last month to pay $1.2 billion to the U.S. government for
withholding information related to unintended acceleration in its
vehicles. That safety crisis had caused Toyota to recall more than 9
million vehicles.

"The negative publicity is causing automakers to react faster," said
Dennis Virag, president of the Automotive Consulting Group. "The harm
done to Toyota and GM is significant. Others don't want to suffer the
same fate."

General Motors Chief Executive Mary Barra was grilled by Congress last
week on her company's late response to the ignition switch issue.

Morningstar analyst David Whiston said that costs of recalls can pale in
comparison to potential fines and other legal costs.

"The latest Toyota recall is a preventative measure. There have been no
fatalities, but recalling the vehicles now will not lead to months of
headlines, congressional hearings and fines from the Department of
Justice," he said.

In the largest of the recalls announced on Wednesday, Toyota said some
3.5 million vehicles were being recalled to replace a spiral cable that
could be damaged when the steering wheel is turned. That could cause the
air bag to fail in the event of a crash, the automaker said.

In total, about 2.34 million of the vehicles to be recalled were sold in
North America. Another 810,000 were sold in Europe.

In the second-largest of the Toyota recalls, some 2.32 million
three-door models made between January 2005 and August 2010 are being
recalled to check for a fault in the seat rails that could cause the
seat to slide forward in a crash, risking injury for the driver or
passengers.

The other recalls are for faulty steering column brackets, windshield
wiper motors and engine starters.

The recall announcement, which came during late afternoon Tokyo trade,
knocked an additional 2 percent off Toyota's already sagging shares.

They quickly pared the extra losses, however, and ended down 3 percent
at 5,450 yen, reflecting an overall weak tone in the market where the
benchmark Nikkei average fell 2.1 percent.

Toyota's 6.39 million vehicle recall is the largest announced on a
single day for the company since October 2012, when it called back 7.43
million Yaris, Corolla and other models to fix faulty power window switches.

In the first two months of 2014, major automakers had announced 18
separate recalls in the United States, now the second-largest auto
market behind China, according to the latest data compiled by the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The recent wave of large-scale recalls represents a source of revenue
for auto dealers who are paid by manufacturers to service defective cars.
