PENANG Hill Corporation (PHC) is ramping up its efforts to complete the initial stage of hoarding works at affected sites of the Penang Hill Cable Car project to keep the public updated on the highly anticipated project.
A total of four sites are involved in the installation of hoardings, namely the Garden Station, Hill Station, Turn Station and the car park building.
PHC general manager Datuk Cheok Lay Leng, in an exclusive interview with Buletin Mutiara today, said that hoardings have been installed at the Garden Station and Hill Station, while works are ongoing at the Turn Station.
Cheok noted that although the hoardings at the Garden Station are technically complete, PHC is working on adding graphic displays that will showcase the project’s progress and final appearance once completed.
A delay is expected at the car park building site due to ongoing efforts to finalise a temporary location for the hawkers located opposite the Penang Botanic Gardens Department.
The current hawker centre is where the multi-storey car park for the project has been proposed to be built.
“Hoardings at the back of the hawker centre, off the river, have been completed.
“We can’t do the front part yet until the hawkers have been relocated to a temporary site within the vicinity.
