    Yeah, I always wanted to know where that tunnel goes. Probably to the holding tank that BGC say can hold rainwater equivalent to 8 olympic size swimming pools.

    Vinj, sorry, what so strange about Fitness First sa Fort? Di ko nakuha punch line.

    What contributes to the traffic there is that they keep the road to Kalayaan Ave closed during peak hours, making all cars go straight thru that narrow road in between Serendra and STI. What makes it worse is that the construction sometimes eat 1 more lane with their heavy equipment parked at the side.

    One does not simply drive into BGC :horse:

    Yep may Fitness First pa. Puro kainan ang nakapalibot

    The holding tank is under the Burgos Circle. Pero close enough to be related . I think the tank exits under the road leading to Gate 1 and Makati City Jail to Pasig.

    One of tsikot's resident posters, is from Middle Earth/Hollow Earth and he's a fitness buff.

    I also can't comprehend why they keep that road closed. Only once i did get to pass there and it got me to Kalayaan Ave pretty quick.

    Now that you mentioned it, i do recall BGC having a big excavation before that crossed Kalayaan Ave and was covered up again after. That's probably it.

    the original plan was to have a centralized basement parking and drop off points for all the buildings.. too expensive kaya di na tinuloy..

    That would have been great kung natuloy. Ngayon haba ng pila sa lahat ng parking lots.

    Good luck na lang when SM opens.

    Sana matuloy yung monorail from Guadalupe to NAIA3

    BGC has gotten way too busy and way too crowded. And you're right, the road layout is good if you're only planning to stay within BGC. It's a b1tch to get out of it.

    Kalayaan was supposed to be the bypass pero for some reason Makati keeps it crowded with its constituents

    And BGC is not even done constructing big-a$$ buildings yet. More fun to come.
