Oh, please tell me this will happen, at least in my lifetime!

“We are in the planning stage right now, identifying locations where it would be viable to create the bike lanes,” said MMDA General Manager Robert Nacianceno. “The idea is to create lanes where people can both walk and bike to short distances, instead of taking their cars.”

Taking off from bike lanes established in Marikina City by MMDA Chair Bayani Fernando during his term as city mayor, the agency has created a technical committee to plan the project dubbed the “Foot and Pedal Ways Project.”

“It is important for people to have these lanes especially if they just want to go to nearby destinations like the grocery or market,” Nacianceno added.

“We could even place the lanes in the middle of roads, or add more lanes to existing roads. There could be 100 kilometers of bike lanes or more than that, depending on the findings of the technical working group,” he said.

I would love to support this project. 100 kilometers! Free brochure and website design! Bring it!
