When the news of new Ampang LRT line extension came out in 2009, Bandar Kinrara BK 3 residents had some mixed feelings.
While some residents were glad that the line is going to pass through our area, others were worried that the whole area will be changed forever.
So naturally some of us were shocked looking at the general layout of the LRT line. There were not one, not two, but three stations right here in Bandar Kinrara.
The layout clearly showed new LRT line running at the middle of Bukit Jalil highway with station no. 3 in BK1, station no. 4 in BK2 and station no. 5 in BK 3. All the stations and LRT tracks were shown to be at the middle of the highway.
Concerned about all the negative impacts station no. 5 will bring, some BK 3 residents took initiatives, collected signatures and submitted them to the relevant authorities. The residents felt it was not necessary to have a station in BK 3, especially when station no. 4 in BK 2 is just walking distance away.
The question was raised by our residents two years ago in 2009, but no reply was ever given by Syarikat Prasarana Negara Berhad (SPNB), the government body that handles the LRT extension project.
