City lights up first flyover in WV
The city council here is expected to authorize city Mayor Jerry P. Treñas to receive the lights donation from Globe Telecom to light up the first flyover here.
Globe Telecom sent a deed of donation document to Treñas Wednesday. The city council is set to deliberate on the document also on Wednesday to authorize Treñas to sign and accept the donation.
This will allow the city engineers office (CEO) to immediately prepare a program of work for the electrical installation at the flyover site along Gen. Luna and Infante junction here and catch up with the construction deadline and inauguration before the Dinagyang Festival last week of January 2008.
President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is expected to come and inaugurate the first flyover project in Western Visayas. Other flyover projects in the region include that along Jalandoni-diversion road here and two other flyover projects in Bacolod City.
The Globe Telecom donation came after Treñas lamented that the city government has no appropriation for the flyover lights because this is a national project under the Tulay ng Pangulo bridge program.
It was known that the flyover project has no provision for lights, Treñas said.
The Globe lights donation, bought in Metro Manila, consists of supplies and materials for six floodlights on top of the flyover and 10 sodium lights below it. (PNA)
