MMDA deploys teams to clear Metro’s Mabuhay Lanes, ease traffic at Edsa

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has deployed three teams to clear Metro Manila’s Mabuhay Lanes of all forms of obstructions for motorists traversing Edsa.

“We shall have no let-up in clearing the Mabuhay Lanes of different kinds of obstructions. That is a proof that the government is serious in making our key routes accessible,” said MMDA acting chairman Romando Artes in a ceremonial send-off held in Baclaran, Pasay City on Monday morning.

The MMDA, in coordination with the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), National Capital Region Police Office and local government units covered by identified Mabuhay Lanes, vowed to sustain the clearing and keeping the alternate routes in the metropolis free from obstructions.

Artes said that the regular operations and eventual turnover of the cleared area to its barangay captain is part of the memorandum of agreement between the agency and the DILG to maintain the cleanliness and orderliness of the roads.

“Everytime the MMDA, DILG, and the police force conduct clearing, it will be turned over to the barangay captain in charge of the area. Those who will fail to maintain its cleanliness and orderliness could be charged with an administrative case,” Artes warned.

DILG Undersecretary for Barangay Affairs Felicito Valmocina said their office now has created a  monitoring team that will coordinate with the DILG-National Capital Region to ensure that Mabuhay Lanes are clean and clear.

“We will be employing new approaches to ensure commitment and prioritization of obstruction-free Mabuhay Lanes. It is high time for our LGUs, especially our barangay heads, to act and sustain our clearing efforts,” he said.

Artes also said the MMDA would seek the support of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on plans to build a permanent area for vendors in Baclaran to provide them selling space that would keep them off the roads.

For her part, Pasay City Mayor Imelda Calixto-Rubiano expressed full support to the plans of providing Baclaran vendors permanent space to sell, as well as clearing of the Mabuhay Lanes, as part of the city’s vision.

“We are one with the government agencies in making the landscape of our community better as this is one of the grand vision of Pasay – to become a sustainable and smart eco-city,” she said.
