Its a special elevated 6lane, riverview parking space. 😅

Madaming apprehensions about this PAREx especially yung concern na papadaanin mismo sa ilog so matatakpan...

per Boo Chanco's SMS with RSA

I texted him once more to ask the question bugging many people about PAREX… will the expressway be built over Pasig River so as to cover it completely?

No, he said. They will build the expressway along the river easement which is supposed to be public domain.

Additionally, RSA texted back, they will remove garbage along the Pasig River estimated at 300,000 tons. They will accomplish what several administrations failed to do… clean up the river.

and this GMANews report:

The SMC chief said that to build the 19.40-kilometer, six-lane elevated expressway along the banks of the river, the river bed has to be dredged and cleared of decades of debris and garbage, to attain its optimum depth and ensure the constant flow of water.

Wait nalang muna initial renders which may also be revised as what we saw in SS3 Section 2 which was diverted to San Juan river.

Sayang yung defunct Pasig-Antipolo branch line ng MRR [PNR].

Yung mga Ferry Terminal and yung greening na ginawa nila for Pasig River is also along the very same easement/river banks right? So basically tatamaan mga ito.

Not really for or against it. Details are still unclear. Ideally sana, mass transpo related na lang ginawa like yung improvement ng ferry and maybe BRT siguru para hindi mismo expressway. May gagamit naman from A-B and in between stops siguru nito kung mass transpo related naman rather than expressway.

RSA is a businessman. Mas walang sakit sa ulo pag expressway vs mass transpo. One time expense ang expressway and minimal maintenance. Pag mas transpo malaki pa maintenance cost.

i heard this from an authority, years ago.

many years ago,
government had a choice on what to develop: roads or mass transpo, i.e., LRTs and such.
it chose roads.

while many authorities feel mass transpo is a never-ending battle between profit and loss, with loss usually coming out more often,
HK's MTR example shows that with proper planning, it can be a consistent big-bucks money-maker.

but i suppose,
whatever we do,
as long as there is corruption,
it will always be a failure.

Yes he is but are NEDA people businessmen also?

Private initiatives are still subject to NEDA approval.

Basta for people who likes this project, wag kayo magrereklamo about traffic. You know the solution pero ayaw lang gawin.

If no one will submit a proposal for a mass transpo project, wala naman magagawa ang NEDA. It will either approve or deny RSA's proposal. Since more roads are badly needed in Metro Manila, they might as well approve it.
