The Jakarta Post

JAKARTA: The administration plans to relocate 27 gas stations located in various green areas around the city.

The head of the Jakarta Parks Agency, Sarwo Handayani, said two of the stations to be relocated were on Jl. Sudirman and Jl. Thamrin in South Jakarta.

"Green areas are supposed to be free of concrete buildings," she said Monday, as quoted by tempointeraktif.

She said the agency had allocated Rp 2 billion (approximately US$210,000) for the relocation program.

The agency has asked for Rp 150 billion from the City Council to finance various programs this year.
