Y must LRT located in GLC developing area? Almost every area in Selangor & KL got the footprint of GLC. How to cover all? Political influence doesn't necessary means to locate the station at GLC project.
Usually the route plan will be more favorable to those area with plenty of empty lands for development. U can take RRIM sungai buloh and Johan Setia as a reference
You are right, Prasarana wishes to keep its construction costs within 9 billion budget. The line proposal will minimise acquistion of lands, and no longer run through the housing estate, the alignment changes will not involve any acquisition of property.
Below are some quotes from Prasarana MD:
“As for land acquisition, we have identified the corridor but not the alignment (as) we have to comply with the Land Acquisition Act requirement,”
"We will try to minimise land acquisition as we are proposing just a two-kilometre underground track with one underground station in Shah Alam and the rail tracks would mostly be on elevated structure utilising the existing state and road reserve land,”
“The LRT3 will no longer run through the housing estate, the alignment changes will not involve any acquisition of property. The station, which was initially planned to be built next to SMK Tinggi Klang, will also be changed next to the market,”
“Should the total cost of the project be less than or equal to the targeted cost, the PDP would be entitled to the full fee. However, if the project cost is more than the targeted cost, the fee would be cut in accordance with the agreed formula,”
