Traffic experiment for NGC-bound routes to start Dec. 10
BACOLOD CITY -- Sangguniang Panglungsod Member Wilson Gamboa Jr., Chairman of the Committee on Transportation and Traffic Management, recently passed a resolution for a conduct of a traffic experiment starting December 10 involving east-bound routes.
The move is in preparation for the scheduled opening of the New Government Center in Brgy. Villamonte this coming Dec. 16.
Gamboa said that the affected east-bound routes for this new rerouting scheme are: Alangilan-Burgos Market Route, Granada-Burgos Market, San Dionesio-Burgos Market, Sta. Fe-Central Market, FF Gonzaga-Central Market, Fortune Towne-Central Market, PHHC-Central Market, Villamonte-Central Market and to include Dona Juliana Heights-Central Market.
The traffic rerouting, Gamboa said, was decided during the meeting of Bacolod Traffic Authority Council last November 14, 2008 attended by different transport organizations.
Earlier, SP Member Gamboa passed two resolutions requesting the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board to conduct a road measure capacity and density of commuters population and public utility jeepneys to include all east bound routes and to grant the proposed developmental route-scheme.
On the other hand, Gamboa also confirmed that last SP Session, his committee received a letter-complaint from concerned taxi drivers and operators with regard to the use of parking lane inside Gaisano City Mall.
Said complaint, Gamboa assured, would be brought to the attention of the LTFRB.
