Poverty is complex because it involves many aspects of public policy that is not exactly right for the fulfillment of food, health, education, employment, and so on. In order to decrease poverty in Indonesia may need the support and cooperation of the community and the government's seriousness in tackling this problem. Through the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the government tried to reduce poverty, it's just that certain requirements must be met. In this case the requirement is about the readiness of the government in implementing the MDGs, because the government should be in a position of good governance in accordance with the development paradigm of the New Public Management (NPM). Theoretical understanding of public policy dominated NPM shift to governance and public policy (public services) to market-oriented citizens. So that the public policy and public service with NPM paradigm is the issue of public sector and participation, as the empowerment and participation of the public sector is expected to be cooperation between the government and citizens without being harmed.

This paper aims to explore qualitatively the concept of implementing public policy in infrastructure development in the Municipality of Surabaya. That the number of roads in Surabaya is not balanced with the increase in the number of vehicles. For this reason, the central government proposed the construction of a mid-city toll road, but the Surabaya Municipality Government refused because the construction of the city toll road was considered unable to solve the Surabaya traffic problem, namely congestion. So that the Surabaya Municipality Government still wants to build infrastructure, namely the frontage road, on the east and west of Ahmad Yani frontage road. The construction of the frontage road, it has reduced traffic congestion on Ahmad Yani frontage road, especially around Wonokromo and East Java Province Logistics Agency. The construction of Ahmad Yani frontage road is also a form of innovation in the implementation of public policy because so far the regional government has always followed what was suggested by the central government. In the next development, Surabaya Municipality not only built a frontage road, it was only limited to road Ahmad Yani, because in the future it was expected to connect to the road in the Sidoarjo Regency.
