The Balinese have no money to do anything -- all income just vanish into thin air. That is why this north Bali airport is promoted as a US$ 3Bn "private" pipe dream. Let see if they can get the Gilimanuk to Mengwi tollroad to re-start and progress; an unsurmountable task as they have not secured land rights.I said before,
As I mentioned before, when they built the interstate freeway system in America, the Government forced people to sell their land. Whatever is done here, the point is, something has to be done! Bali needs a central bypass system to connect the bypass in Sanur to a bypass, that goes through central Bali, all the way North. It's only a matter of time. When it starts to take 4 hours or more, to get from Ubud to the Airport, people will crack! This also should not be a toll road, unless everyone can afford it!
This is far more important than building a new Northern airport. There obviously was no planning for the traffic today. The roads are too small for these big SUV's and thousands of motorbikes. With the population growing, and the influx of other islanders, it is only to get worse and worse. Lets try to think ahead and clean up the Island from all the rubbish, and develop a better designed Traffic infrastructure.
No one wants to come see an island where the streets, rivers, and beaches, are strewn full of plastic.
The people in charge, such as Hotels owners, Banjars, Kepala Desa's, Schools, , should make this a priority to educate the people and children here.
