Kea Farm
IPOH: Traffic congestion near a popular tourist spot in Cameron Highlands can be resolved if a solution can be found for the parking issue there.
Regional Environmental Awareness Cameron Highlands (Reach) president A. Dilip Martin said there was a lack of parking spaces at Kea Farm and visitors park their vehicles along the road, causing congestion there and impacting other areas.
Dilip also said that a proposed new road from Habu to Tanah Rata, announced during the retabling of the revised Budget 2023 in February this year, would not resolve the issue.
"Even if you have a new road with no parking spaces, it will still be congested.
"The main issue is at Kea Farm, as traffic flow can be impacted until Tanah Rata," he said.
He said the Federal or Pahang state governments should revisit an old plan to build a business park near Kea Farm.
"It was proposed in 2012 and I understand a piece of land has also been approved.
"The business park would have a multi-storey car park, shops, toilet and surau.
"I understand the land that has been identified is a secondary forest area that is not near any hillslopes that could cause landslides," he said.
