Jalan Sultan Ismail Pedestrian Walkway, Kuala Lumpur (15 June, 2017)


Jalan Sultan Ismail Pedestrian Walkway is a network of elevated walkway along Jalan Sultan Ismail in Kuala Lumpur. It runs from the Sultan Ismail LRT Station to the Medan Tuanku Monorail Station. The elevated walkway was built through an allocation of RM100 million from the federal government.

The idea to build the walkway goes back to 2009, when the federal government decided to allocated the fund, as a goodwill gesture to the people and to stimulate the economy. In 2013, Syarikat Prasarana Negara Berhad installed CCTVs at the walkway and provided funding to deploy auxiliary police personnel to patrol the area, as a means to enhance security there.¹
