Blambangan Park Parking Ban is increasingly being complained about

BANYUWANGI – Rejection of the no-parking policy around Banyuwangi Market and Blambangan Park seems to be becoming more widespread. It's not just Banyuwangi Market traders who reject the parking ban in the area, community of residents who regularly exercise in green open spaces (RTH) Blambangan Park also rejects the policy of prohibiting parking around the field. They evaluate, The parking ban around Blambangan Park does not have a clear basis.

Besides that, The parking ban gives the impression of being prohibited. should be, before issuing a ban, The district government conducted a thorough study. “Don't make rules that are difficult to implement. Rules are made to be obeyed, not to be violated," said Toeloes Soedjianto, residents who regularly jog at the Blam Bangan RTH every morning. Toeloes also questioned what was actually being considered regarding the prohibition on parking vehicles around Blambangan Park. Especially, So far, vehicle parking in Blambangan Park has not disturbed traffic flow.

Otherwise, continued Toeloes, What often disrupts traffic flow is the parking of officials' vehicles while attending ceremonies and other activities in Blambangan Park. "So far, there has never been a traffic jam caused by residents' vehicles parking here,he said yesterday (19/10). Besides that, continued Toeloes, if residents' vehicles are prohibited from parking around Blambangan Park, Are officials' vehicles when attending events at Blambangan Park also prohibited from parking in the same place??

If indeed the parking ban applies to everyone, he said, Has the district government prepared sufficient parking space for vehicles?. Because, It is impossible for the courtyard of the Pa Ramita Kencana Women's Building to accommodate the vehicles of officials. "If citizens are prohibited from parking and offices are allowed to park, that is not a law based on justice, but rather rules based solely on power,” this tusnya. Not only that, Toeloes also questioned whether the parking ban had been balanced with the provision of adequate parking space.

According to Toeloes, What has been prepared is the Ing Grisan complex, courtyard of the Women's Paramitha Kencana Building, and the courtyard of the Juang Building 45. Especially in England, continued Toe Loes, Has the district government obtained permission from the land owner?. Because, The land that will be used for parking belongs to another agency. Toeloes admitted he was worried that residents would be turned away when parking their vehicles at that location. The second question, said Toeloes, what if you park at the three points?, whether residents will be charged a parking fee or not.

Because, The provision of land has the potential to be used as an excuse to collect parking fees on the grounds that there is special parking. even though, Banyuwangi residents who own vehicles have paid a parking subscription fee for one year. “Remember, okay?, Subscription parking fees are not parking taxes, but parking fees,” he said. Residents are obliged to pay the levy, explained Toeloes, when he gets his rights. But, what happened so far, Residents have paid subscription parking fees before their rights were obtained.

Especially, The district government prohibits residents from parking their vehicles on a number of roads. The issuance of regulations prohibiting parking around Blambangan Park practically makes it difficult to obtain citizens' rights. “Park in a special place, have to pay again. Temporary parking on the road, can't. If there are still various rules, Just cancel the subscription parking regulation so that people can park freely," he said. Meanwhile, The income from subscription parking fees is quite large.

should be, se has not yet issued a prohibition regulation, The money from subscription parking is used to free up land for free parking locations in several public areas. Toeloes reminded, The district government should not just be smart in issuing bans without providing solutions. “Find a solution, only then make a ban. Now there is no solution, No parking signs have been installed," said the former DPRD member.

Meanwhile, Head of the Department of Transportation, Communication, and Informatics (Dishubkominfo) Banyuwangi, Suprayogy, admitted that he would pay attention to input submitted by the community. Several suggestions submitted by residents will be used as evaluation material. "God willing, we will carry out an evaluation so that all policies benefit all parties," said Suprayogi. (radar)
