NEWS: DPWH mulls constructing 'elevated EDSA'

[ghosthunter]

Buses flying off due to strong crosswinds and landing smack on the roof of SM Megamall? :D

I think public buses will be banned from using the elevated highway.

[shadow]

The best thing to do parin is like what others said: Educate motorists of correct and proper road etiquettes.

don't underestimate Pinoy driver's stupidity and just plain lack of discipline.

[niwde11]

maybe much cheaper to fast track the C5 road interconnection(completion). or build another C road.
PNoy's govt of plan never ceases to amaze me.:D

[kotiko]

Yeah they should just fast track the NLEX-SLEX connection as well.

[jansky]

instead of building up elevated Edsa

- promote businesses sa other provinces para di na pumunta pa ng manila mga taga province (like putting up call center)
- eliminate old PUV (buses, jeepney, taxis)
- eliminate colorum
- paalisin mga squatters
- limit franchise




pag gawin naman nila ung elevated EDSA
- sino mag finance?
- magkano ang toll fee?


at habang ginagawa yan mas malala ang traffic.. and who will invest sa isang bansa na sobrang lala ang traffic?

at pag nakumpleto yan ung population ng sasakyan dodoble din ..

IMO, walang problema sa traffic while constructing. ganun talaga eh if we wanted to have more infrastructures magkakaroon talaga ng inconvenience sa mga tao. but they should be working 24/7 and siguraduhin mabilis matapos. konting tiis. parang yun SLEX and skyway. before you think na hinde na matatapos and perwisyo talga ang traffic but look at it now? tao rin nakikinabang. everybody needs to make sacrifices.

traffic will never ever be solved in MM until hinde alisin or bawasan at least 30-50% yun PUJs

My point exactly. Add to this proper traffic enforcement. Ang dami nang MMDA di pa rin maayos ang indiscriminate loading/unloading ng PUVs. I don't mind living in the province as long as most of the conveniences are there. The only reason why so many people from the provinces flock to Metro Manila is the lack of opportunities back home. If government is able to provide this expect not only daily traffic to improve but seasonal traffic as well. Metro Manila is so crowded, it shouldn't be the center of the Philippine universe anymore.

but that doesnt involve spending billions of pesos

gotta spend tons of money to have stimulus effect

financed by govt borrowing

btt: that would be nice to see but the planning has got to be detailed and extensive. what if they do new elevated roads over the pasig river? at least dun walang problema sa mga right of way and if done properly hindi naman siguro mag cocongest ang pakitid na pakitid at tuloy tuloy na siltation sa ilog pasig. posible ba iyan? medyo unconventional thinking lang po

agree ako dito.

[Lan0520]

Ok lang iyang iniisip nilang iyan. progress ika nga. Pero matagal iyan?!
Biding pa iyan sa pinakamalapit na maabot ng budget.

Sana pero DAPAT wag "ningas kugon".

60 Kph lang ang takbo(siguro hanggang 70 buwelo paakyat ng fly-over) for life.

MMDA 24/7, bantayan ang kalsada, mag-issue ng mga radio bawat grupo.
Rotation on assigned post at least a week(para anti-kotong). Patay na dito ang mga "kulurums"

Provincial businesses? Puwede! Wala ng halos lugar eh.
Ano ba iyong Eaton City? Gagawin ding Eastwood City? Baka puwede din doon!

And do our part, maintenance of our vehicle, wake-up earlier and drive cool.

Sana wag sa ibabaw ng EDSA, hirap na.
At Sana walang bus at overloaded vehicles.

May similar proposal yung MMDA on building over some waterways based on the news today.

Skybridge, toll eyed to decongest EDSA » Nation » News | Philippine News | philstar.com

Panay proposal nalang... tapos pag gagawin, hindi magagawa dahil sa squatters. Why don't they finish the C6 and put to action the SLEX - NLEX link as well?

quite ironic.

MMDA is all-out against billboards that violate building code. Yet the proposal itself is a violation of the same. Bodies of water, even esteros should remain as open space... except for bridges that cross (perpendicular to) them.

[Ry_Tower]

Tapos after gawin saglit lang sira dahil sa tong! Dapat maayos ito ng tama.

[renzo_d10]

Traffic is inevitable. But like what Shadow is saying, sana bilisan nila ang pag-construct nito.

IMO, it's better to have an elevated EDSA rather than having another tunnel. During flashfloods, magiging catch basin lang 'to.

Pero do take note that constructing an elevated EDSA cannot permanently eliminate traffic. After a few years or months, pati yung elevated part magiging congested na rin. Kaya dapat vis a vis the construction is proper traffic rules implementation.

[jave]

Want to deal a blow to EDSA traffic?

Completely isolate public vehicles from private vehicles.

Elitist but true. Think of how many times you encountered slow traffic only to reach the source and see it's basically buses and jeeps clogging one point and waiting for passengers?

[Verbl Kint]

We should also implement bus and jeepney stops. Tama na yung kahit saan puwede magbaba o magsakay.

[jave]

*VK:

Not gonna happen because majority of Filipinos are too lazy to walk and politicians are too stupid and/or fearful of losing votes.

[renzo_d10]

Parang yung street na malapit saamin. There's a sign that clearly says " DITO ANG BABAAN/SAKAYAN ", and yet, the PUJs still load and unload passengers on the corner of the street. Thing is, there's a couple of MMDAs nearby, and they just ignore it like nothing is happening.

[shadow]

Traffic situation will never improve until they remove PUJs or at least lessen it by a significant percentage...Kahit Ano pang scheme Ang gawin walang mangayayari
