A video circulating on social media shows a Bandung sidewalk on Jalan Ambon has been illegally converted into a private parking garage. The footage, shared by PRFM’s Instagram account, depicts a structure built directly on the pedestrian walkway. This unauthorized use of public space has sparked public outcry and raised concerns about urban planning enforcement in the city. Local authorities have not yet commented on the situation, but the incident highlights ongoing issues with illegal construction and disregard for pedestrian rights. The transformation effectively eliminates the sidewalk for pedestrian use, forcing people to walk in the street. This incident is prompting calls for stricter oversight and penalties for similar violations in Bandung.
