TRANSIT has been following the Public Display for the extensions of the Kelana Jaya and Ampang LRT lines.
Because of the importance of giving the public a proper voice and help air out concerns for public transport users, TRANSIT has given support to residents of Bandar Sunway, Putra Heights, USJ and Subang Jaya in their efforts to build the best public transport system possible.
We offer our services to residents of other areas who are looking for better public transport – as well as to residents of areas who may have concerns about public transport planning.
In this post, we will list objections, concerns and issues related to the extension of the LRT lines. We encourage everyone to give their feedback and suggestions and comments. We are not necessarily agreeing or disagreeing to any of the comments on postings here. However, TRANSIT will moderate if necessary.
Anyone who wishes to contact TRANSIT for further discussion can simply reply here to this posting or send an email to klangvalley.transit@gmail.com.
Bandar Sunway
Some Bandar Sunway residents, Sunway City Berhad, Monash University, Sunway University College and Taylor’s University College have collectively expressed their concern that Bandar Sunway is not going to be included in the LRT extension project and will be bypassed by both lines.

Subang Jaya SS16 Saujana Residency
Some residents of the Saujana Residency project have expressed their concern over the routing of the Kelana Jaya LRT extension between their condominium and the neighbouring project, the Empire Subang.
This photo taken on Jalan SS16/1 Subang Jaya, shows the land between the Empire Subang and Saujana Residency properties. Prasarana has proposed to run the LRT extension between these properties.
Subang Jaya SS14 & SS18
Some residents of SS14 and SS18 in Subang Jaya have expressed their concern that the proposed station 6 along the Kelana Jaya LRT line extension is located too close to the padang at SS18/4. They are also concerned about traffic congestion and indiscriminate parking in their areas.
USJ (general)
Some residents of USJ have expressed the concern that the Kelana Jaya line extension project has too many stations and the trip from USJ to KL will take too long.
The Ad-Hoc committee is now trying to get more formal feedback from the residents of Subang Jaya and USJ.
You should see banners on the overhead bridges on Pers. Kewajipan and Pers. Tujuan as well as at the proposed sites of the stations.
This banner has general information on the LRT extension and encourages the residents of Subang Jaya and USJ to give more feedback.
The work of the committee was also reported in the Star and other newspapers.
Information about the LRT extension can be found at the following links:

TRANSIT has expressed our concerns about the weaknesses of the public display process, including concerns over the confusion of “official forms” for feedback on the LRT extension.

I object to the track running between Saujana Residency and Empire Soho.
My suggestion is for the track to go along SS16/2 from the station i.e. between Subang Parade and Carrefour.
Stations 4, 5 & 6 in Subang Jaya are too close to each other and one is redundant. Also, Station 5 and Station 6 are too close to residential properties and this will cause lots of traffic problems/indiscriminate parking/noise pollution compounded by the fact that these stations do not have proper parking facilities.
Proposal:
1. Merge Stations 5 & 6 and locate it above the New Pantai Expressway/Jalan Jengka intersection; at each corner will be the Jaya Square, Public Bank, Benzone & Proton showroom. This location will be more amenable to the residents as the location is surrounded by commercial properties, and away from residential units.
2. There are precedents of building stations at/near road junctions and at high level e.g. Universiti Station at Kg Kerinci.
3. Reducing redundant stations will also 1) reduce construction cost and logically will enable operator to charge lower fares., and 2) reduce travelling time.
Thank you for the feedback.

Generally the LRT estension should not go thru an housing area. It would be better to run it along the main road. SS18 is a housing area with a primary school near the proposed station no 6. It would be dangerouls for children to cross road as more car will be plying the roads. The traffic congestion and crime rates in the area will go up! Kindly have second look into your plans and divert it into the comercial areas.
As a purchasor of Saujana Residency, I’m also concerned that the LRT track is going to run parallel to apartment. Worse still, based on my rough estimation of the average height of LRT tracks, its going to run very close to my 8th floor unit.
I did not spend a hefty chunk of money on my dream home, just to be spoiled by the noise pollution and the eyesore right outside my window. I also do not appreciate the fact that the bathrooms will also be subjected to daily gazes of LRT commuters.
I more than welcome the LRT, but I hope that the tracks are built close to the vacant land near the commercial area in front of Carrefour and Mesiniaga.

Thank you very much for your comment.

Building the LRT near Saujana Residency, would cause a drop in property value!

Just saw the MRT extension plan that Puchong Prima station to be built just less than 15meters along with the houses. Isnt this too near to be noisy and unsecured to residents and the children playground to be occupied by the station soon. What kind of Mitrajaya developer, Subang Jaya council with LRT company plan for allowing this kind of issues. Personally, I move my house from PJ to Puchong in the past for avoiding kind of interrupting sound for almost 365 days with almost 18hours. Unfortunately, I have to consider to move again due to this problem… The noise level never get improved even more than 10years LRT operation. You can it is always open tracks and not cover accordingly.
As a purchaser of the Saujana Residency, i strongly disagreed with the LRT track is going to run parallel between Saujana Residency and Empire Subang. Noise pollution will be the my main concern which will disturb the residents’ resting time during at night. Besides, the velocity of the LRT will definitely cause some ‘vibration’ to the residents in the building. Furthermore, is the LRT passes through the condos will affect the earthwork of the buildings?
I suggest the track should build between Subang Parade and Carrefour.

I object to the proposal to route the LRT through the space between Saujana Residency and Empire. Firstly the space belongs to the residents of Saujana Residency and is our tennis court. We will not sell the land. Second is noise pollution. Saujana residency is a 100% residential project with no commercial element and the LRT must be routed elsewhere. The noise pollution will be detrimental to adult and children alike. The space next to mesingniaga is suitable.
I have same general concerns and feedback . As a purchasor of Saujana Residency, I raised my concerned that the LRT track is going to run parallel to apartment building and Empire Soho tower.
[1] Limited space. Very tight and limited space between both of the new structured building to build the LRT station and LRT track.
[2] High noise pollution level. Estimation of the average height of LRT tracks produce much noise to residency in Saujana and Empire Soho.
[3] Heavy traffic congestion. Once the LRT transit stations built to run parallel to apartment building and Empire Soho. Large volume of cars and visitors increased in the particular area and caused traffic congestion.
Although the new LRT station will alleviate traffic congestion and spur economic development, but serious and careful project development planning is crucial, with consideration of feedbacks and comments from residency in Subang Jaya.
Thanks for your consideration.
