possible factor is the properties porfolios of the planners are located in BU.....LOL

Thanks belfong for sharing, where did you find the source on the change of location?

oH thanks....I got what u meant... would it possible the passenger platform is built near the bridge and the exit to parking/passenger walkway is near the Merchant Square? just simply a guess.....

just a sharing, i have been (and still) a active commuter in Beijing and Shanghai.....1 to 2KM walkway from inside subway station to exit is very common...

Refer to the link, red color and blue color are platforms....whereby the green colors are the exit gateway to commercial center...make sense to Merchant Square

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....

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.

Kind regards,

Someone in another thread is asking the government.

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,”

Project timeline is out, but the map of station allignment seems got problem (can't browse)
