THE proposed realignment of an elevated U-turn on the East Klang Valley Expressway (EKVE) project should consider safety of motorists and other stakeholders, say several community leaders.

Alliance for Safe Community founder and chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye said the state and federal governments, developer EKVE Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Ahmad Zaki Resources Bhd (AZRB), and contractors must further consider the safety aspects and welfare of the community, affected landowners and those who would eventually be using the highway.
