Bro, you are absolutely right. But Merchant square is because located at dead end of the road so making it a dead centre...the owner abosutely hopes LRT3 to bring up its value....

my 2 cents....perhaps land value of 1tech is more pricy for LRT3 to acquire, so not feasible... instead it will be more economy for them to build a bridge linking to 1tech and merchant square...somemore construction/piling works make dust, noise and impact, which commercial center and office building owner will not want these to be happened....

Yes. And the land which he tamil school (not sure if it still exists) is sitting on makes station 3 much more practical. Bigger parcel of land and better access (I think there will be road to the bridge like how it was 15 years back before they demolished it). The access to merchant square is horrible as it's 1 way in and 1 way out. It's gonna jam up the jaya grocer tropicana roads.

2020 will mark a very successful year in Klang Valley. All the massive ongoing infra and mix developments will be completed by then.

The tamil school still exists with a new school hall just completed...
i heard there were quarrels between two developers on the access road to Tropicana many many years ago and end up the owner closed the roads on each site of the bridge....The current traffic (in & out) already very bad...super jam will be definite...no pain no gain for wawasan 2020...lol

Dear All, i wrote to Prasarana on last saturday's night and their response attached underneath:
Question:
The location of station 3 was previously plotted on the Merchant Square as Tropicana station, but now it is plotted in the location towards to the bridge as shown in the latest map. Kindly advise is there any change of location or just a technical mistake in plotting the map?


Response:
Thank you for your enquiry.

The latest map that you are referring to is based on the final railway scheme approved by the Government. In order to better serve communities in Damansara Indah, SS23, BU8, BU11, BU12, First City International College (KBU) and Centrepoint, the station is now relocated next to the Lebuh Bandar Utama bridge.

Hope that clarifies. Feel free to contact us should you have other enquiries.

Thank you.

Get those near the track. sure drop.

Quite sad Setia Alam / Kota Kemuning not connected

Are they going to do something about it?

Someone in another thread is asking the government.

from the purpose route,near front of setia city mall
but need wait after 2020 or further.

providing easier travelling for our imported manpower to work anywhere they like.

Hope they can xtend until Alam Impian which is part of GLC

Many GLCs not included lah.. Setia alams, jelutong/denai alam, kemuning (partial lah), alam impian.

Alam impian doesnt have the crowd for 4 rows of shops let alone a LRT station..

even GLC is not included..

so sad. I donno how they pick the location of the station

Wahhhh.. kbu, centrepoint, bu8 and 1tech park ONGGGGGG AHHHHH..

Is it because merchant square is owned by pkr but bu8 is owned by gerakan that's why?

hahah politics sudah masuk in decision on station location

politic matter

Thanks for taking the initiative. Are you able to ask Liyana whether there is going to be a bridge across to First City/Centre Point from the station or are they expecting people to walk along Lebuh Bandar Utama across current bridge, which does not have good walkway.

As for driving traffic, are they going to use the Tropicana road? How to get to the other side of the road (where 1Tech Park is?)

the goverment he mention is federal or state?hrm..

Of course la federal....

if federal why dun plan the LRT at GLC place?weird
