It will also help protect pedestrian walkways and drainage systems.
The move is part of government efforts to restore the road reserve.
Car Dealers React
Some affected car dealers expressed frustration over the operation.
However, several said they are willing to leave the area if the process is fair.
They called for equal treatment during enforcement.
Public Reactions
The operation has sparked debate among members of the public.
Some supported government efforts to remove illegal structures.
Others questioned how the eviction was carried out.
