To continue the efforts, an urban design guideline was also developed with MBJB to ensure the design language is coordinated with other streetscape improvement works within the same area. Since the completion of the project, MBJB has also expanded the streetscape improvement efforts at Jalan Bukit Timbalan and Jalan Tan Hiok Nee using the same material and design language. This further enhance the walkability and accessibility in Downtown JB and prepare the city for the influx of community and visitors upon the completion of the Rapid Transit System (RTS) between Johor Bahru and Singapore.
Johor Tourist Guides Association has also initiated the walking trail within Downtown JB to share with the visitors and tourists on the stories of Downtown JB. Upon completion of the training through the grants programme, they have been receiving request from local and international visitors to book their tours. With the integration of public realm improvement and storytelling of histories, this enhance the visitor experience in Downtown JB.
