The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration ( BMA ) is looking to see if it is possible to lobby for a city planning law that would compensate landowners for the improvement of public infrastructure.
Wissanu Sapsompol, the deputy governor of Bangkok, reported on Wednesday that the BMA has asked some house owners to help the construction of ramps for wheelchair-bound pedestrians and the expansion of located pavements.
City Hall, which is advancing the development tasks, has received numerous users ‘ consents.
He acknowledges, however, that the city planning law forbids the award of compensation to entrepreneurs whose property is used to expand or enhance public services. The BMA wants to change the area program and the law.
Bangkok government Chadchart Sittipunt, however, said the BMA has finished repairing 300 miles of roads and is in the process of building 80km of new people in the money.
The issue with installing new chair ramps on existing asphalt is that they are blocked by trees and signboards. People have objected to cutting down trees to make way for roads.
