In reply to Eeva Laaksonen. Thanks Eeva. I will be watching how this project progresses as it is going to be difficult to renovate in such a cramped space.

I’ve always admired how thorough you are in detailing issues and solutions for urban spaces. Engaging write-up on KL Sentral! Just curious if any upgrades are planned to improve the accessibility for travelers with heavy luggage, especially since this spot is a key gateway for international visitors. Also, it will be interesting to see how they’ll keep operations smooth during the makeover. Such redevelopments could bring a fresh, welcoming vibe for those exploring Kuala Lumpur. Keen to follow the transformation journey!

In reply to Rich Hintz. Wayfinding is a big problem at KL Sentral. I've visited countless times and I still get disoriented when I emerge from the airport link or LRT. I think one of the problems is there is no obvious entrance point, just 4 unremarkable entrances. I hope the developer gets bold in making needed changes.

Wayfinding within the station is terrible. Good luck to the casual traveler trying to find the correct transit line entrance.
Even worse is the multi level pedestrian experience trying to navigate to places at lowest street level in the area. (I stayed at the Aloft several times pre Covid.)
