The notice board on the proposed development along Jalan 16/11 in Phileo Damansara beside Menara Star.
THE objection period for proposed projects by private developers in Petaling Jaya is only seven days.
At the end of the objection period, a public hearing will be held to address complaints from the public.
MBPJ public relations director Haniza Abdul Hamid said apart from the immediate neighbour, any affected person, including motorists, could object to a project if it would cause them grievance.
Complainants could write to mayor Datuk Mohd Azizi Mohd Zain to protest, she added.
StarMetro recently received calls from readers who asked about a notice board citing a proposed development along Jalan 16/11 in Phileo Damansara, beside Menara Star.
They said they first saw the notice on March 6 and the objection period would end March 12.
The proposed development consists of one 34-storey block that included 27 storeys housing 199 serviced apartments, 66 SOHO units and 56 units of affordable housing.
A block of serviced apartments in the villa range, with four storeys each, was also part of the proposal.
The proposed development also consists of one-storey business units at podium level and a three-storey car park with business space.
Haniza said the proposal was in its infancy and was not even brought to the council’s One-Stop Centre for further discussion and approval.
Reader Cheng Y. Ming said she noticed the proposed development on Monday when she was driving past the area.
“I was caught in a traffic jam, so I had time to read the notice board. I feel the objection period is too short.
“I am not sure if the existing roads can cater to such as large-scale development.
“I hope the objection period can be extended to allow more people to know about it and object. My concern is the evening traffic congestion,” she said.
Cheng added that the congestion was unbearable, especially along Jalan Dato Abu Bakar, Jalan 16/11 and all the way towards Taman Tun Dr Ismail.
“If the development takes place I worry the traffic situation will worsen,” she said.
