Took some photos of the road Jalan Wong Ah Fook near City Square Johor Bahru. Even since the revamp of the road there, there is a wide pedestrian walkway next to the canal. People can now walk peacefully without the need to look out for vehicles. Hopefully, there will be trees planted next to the pedestrian walkway to provide shade during the hot sunny afternoon.

However, crossing the road is still a challenge. As the traffic at Jalan Wong Ah Fook is constantly heavy, there is no pedestrian crossing or overhead bridge around City Square & Komtar JBCC mall area. The norm is seems is for pedestrian to dash across the road when it seems fit to do so. This method of crossing the road is dangerous but it works for most able people. However for senior citizens, crossing the road at Jalan Ah Fook is a real challenge. Perhaps the authorities can built an overhead bridge facing City Square/ Komtar JBCC mall to the opposite of the canal.
