Since 2017, Jakarta implemented a transportation plan focusing on pedestrians, cyclists, and public transport users. To support the Asian Games in 2018, Sudirman Street was revitalized, following a ‘Complete Street’ approach, providing sidewalks, bicycle lanes, public transport lanes, and private vehicle lanes. Our study explored user characteristics and factors that influence pedestrian utilization descriptively. The results show that the pedestrian area is used by workers daily and serves as a public space for exercising on weekends. After the revitalization, this pedestrian has better street furniture, bus stops, pedestrian bridges, and lighting. Further enhancements could include guiding blocks, vegetation, and bike parks to optimize convenience and safety.
