193 Fish Vendors to Relocate to Kramat Jati Market in Jakarta

In Jakarta, Indonesia, 193 fish vendors who have been operating along the sidewalks of Jalan Raya Bogor are set to be relocated to the Kramat Jati market in East Jakarta. This move, scheduled to commence on August 31, 2026, is part of a broader urban planning initiative aimed at restoring the functionality of public sidewalks and alleviating traffic congestion.

The area designated for the vendors at the Kramat Jati market has undergone significant preparation. Workers have been busy cleaning and arranging the stall areas, ensuring that essential facilities are in place. These include adequate water channels and electricity networks to support the vendors' daily operations. Additionally, the market is equipped with lighting and CCTV cameras, intended to enhance the comfort and security for both vendors and customers.

Officials stated that the relocation is expected to bring multiple benefits. Primarily, it aims to return the sidewalks along Jalan Raya Bogor to their intended purpose as pedestrian walkways. This will improve the urban environment and accessibility for pedestrians.

Furthermore, by moving the vendors from the roadside, the authorities anticipate a reduction in traffic congestion in the Jalan Raya Bogor area. The organized setting of the Kramat Jati market is expected to provide a more conducive environment for trade, potentially benefiting the vendors by centralizing their operations and improving customer access.
