Senators call on government to build more elevated walkways

Recto made the appeal as he observed the supposed lack of plans by the Department of Public Works and Highways to improve pedestrian experience in the country’s major roads.

“For example, in the budget request of the DPWH for 2019, projects sought to be funded were detailed in 1,030 pages of fine print, covering at least 20,000 funding items, but not one was for an elevated walkway,” he recalled. He believed that building them will also not cost the government much and will not pose an engineering challenge.

“Itayo din ito doon sa mga lugar ng masa tulad ng Tondo, Sampaloc, at Commonwealth area sa Quezon City ,” he appealed.
