One public hearing needed for crafting of full Bicycle Ordinance

DAVAO CITY, June 23 (PIA)- An official of the City Transport and Traffic Management Office bared that one more public hearing is needed by the 19^th City Council before it can craft a full version of the Bicycle Ordinance, the rules and regulation on the use of bicycle lanes.

Dionisio Abude, chief of the CTTMO said cyclists who still traverse outside the bicycle lanes defeat the purpose of the use of dedicated bike lanes for them.

“Cyclists must know their responsibility in using the bike lanes,” he said.

Abude revealed 14 bicycles lanes have been finished throughout the city like the Davao-Cotabato Road, Quimpo Boulevard, Sandawa, Roxas, Quezon Boulevard, Quirino, Jacinto Streets, Dr. Gahol Street, Torres, Inigo, and Porras Streets.

He said the CTTMO mulls of putting an additional bicycle lane in Matina-Aplaya going towards Matina-Crossing.

Abude said citation tickets are issued to motorists especially those who parked at the bicycle lanes which have big markers which say NO PARKING for four-wheeled vehicles.

Abude also cited the need to speed up the road construction at the San Pedro Street and the crooked road.

He said these roads need blinkers to warn motorists of possible danger especially at night and during heavy rains.

Abude told the Davao City Disaster Radio that the Department of Public Works and Highways is responsible on when the project must be finished.

He said the CTTMO only ensures that the traffic flow is hasten on these areas especially during peak hours. (PIA XI-Joey Sem G. Dalumpines)
