Suburbs: Taman Pelangi manages to spice up the potentially deadening single-use low density housing by allowing clusters of restaurants and businesses at regular intervals. Though car-washing shops still seem to outnumber corner-stores. The shade and elevation of Jalan Biru, providing views into the city, makes for a relatively attractive suburban walk.
Seafood: a cluster of restaurants form an oasis in the desert of single-use residential plots.
Severance: the Eastern Distributor elevated expressway started construction in 2010 and was finished in 2012. The construction did not include provision for pedestrians to cross the road, effectively severing this area from the Stulang Laut coast 500m to the east, though even before the elevated road it was difficult to cross this roadway and access the coast on foot or by bike due to lack of crossings and public pedestrian network connections through the large blocks.
