Kailan kaya bubukas uli ang Avenida?

Flakez, dati rin naman sikat yung Escolta, bakit hindi nalang iyan ang tinarget ni Atienza? Konting kotse lang dumaraan ngayon diyan, pwedeng isara without major havoc.

Hindi talaga sisigla ang mga negosyo sa new Avenida. Wala kasing parking. Talagang sarado completely. Wala na rin dumaraan na car/jeep kaya mas konting exposure ang mga tindahan for potential customers.

marami rin naman nagawa na maganda si mayor. Sa roxas blvd. , pati yung mga parks like the one at quirino ave. paco area. Siya lang ang mayor na nakapag paganda ng roxas blvd. diba. and plaza miranda na mas maganda ngayon. City Hall magulo pa rin sa loob pero kahit paano mas maayos and mas mabilis na magbayad ng real estate tax compared dati.

Dito lang nga palpak ang avenida project niya. Gumanda talaga and well lighted siya lalo na sa gabi, ang problema sablay ang rerouting ng mga vehicles that used to pass the avenida/raon route. Ang gulo pa ng intersection ng recto/avenida, di mo malaman kung kelan ka go or stop, parang kanya kanya na, kaya pag nagkaswapangan super traffic!!!

share ko lang.

yesterday i walked by avenida from ongpin to raon. maganda sana, kaya lang yung mga bench puno ng mga sari saring tambay na mukhang nag aabang ng mabibiktima . kailangan siguro ng police visibility.

mukhang paving blocks ang ginamit na flooring kaya pwede itong ibalik sa dati kung magbago isip ng mayor or mag palit na ng mayor.

surely, avenida is one of the many spots worth uplifting for tourist attractions..

institution na yan where relics abound like luneta, paco park, old manila cathedral and its surroundings, escolta, etc. (smokey mtn/tondo, excuse me)..

tagal ko nang hindi nakakalakad jan mula ng magka-LRT na; lampas-lampasan na lang talaga and will never regain its glorious past pag hindi ginastusan at pinalayas ang mga bad elements dyan; sayang..

only the oldies can appreciate how these sights looked like ages ago..the way they were on sepia-colored photographs my erpat & his sisters treasured back in their late teens & early twenties..

mayor, dont miss this rare chance to leave a lasting legacy; let's look back and give justice to our pasts.. paki-approve naman ng funds for these worthwhile projects, please.

There's many ways to beautify Manila without closing down the national road. For one thing, why not revived Luneta Park? We visited Luneta 2 months ago, napakababoy na. It's not the same Luneta I visited when I was a kid. Mga gardens (Japanese garden, Chinese garden) puro squatter nasa loob, wala nang halaman o bulaklak o isda. Ayusin na rin ang Manila Zoo and Metropolitan Opera House. Linisin ang Divisoria. Ayusin ang mga roads, bilisin ang pag-gawa ng LRT. Tumayo ng concrete na palenke with low-cost rent para ilipat ang mga street vendors. And many more ideas.

The problem with Avenida is, lahat ng jeep have to re-route through Doroteo Jose by making a right turn and then a left turn at T. Mapua, which is only 2 lane street. Dito ang barado sa traffic. Wala talagang ibang solution other than open up Avenida. Lahat ng kinausap kong jeep/taxi/pedicab drivers, talagang galit hangang ngayon. Hirap na talaga sila. If that's not enough, mga pasahero kalat kalat na.

Every City Mayor has it's own Priorities..Ang pinag-kaiba lang eh kung panu nila gagawin un para sa kanilang self-interest. Nakuha niyo ung sinabi ko?

Si Manila Mayor..gusto nya pagandahin ang City nya..Un nga lang may mga specific spots..the rest of Manila nakalimutan nya na.

Ganun din dun sa Kalookan dati..Di ko maintindihan kung ano ang ginawa nya dun sa Monumento? Nagmukhang Red Light District..ay naku.

Iba talaga ang social crowd sa Avenida compared sa Baywalk. Madilim at marumi ang mga buildings at talagang walang alaga. All the great old movie houses have closed down. It has turned into a pukpuk paradise (Sir....gusto mo ng short time? 300 lang.). Even at 6 am!!

Monseratto, giniba na ang Odeon cinema. Gagawin daw department store. Buti nga eh, kadiri na tingnan. Pagnatapos ang construction nito atsaka SM San Lazaro, who would go to Avenida park to shop?
