Mayor Imelda Aguilar has committed to continue clearing Zapote-Alabang Road, including secondary roads, in Las Piñas City of any obstruction to ensure safety and ease traffic after the Department of Interior and Local Government rated the city with high compliance in road clearing operations.
The mayor and Las Piñas Vice Mayor April Aguilar asked Task Force Kaayusan, barangay officials, and homeowners’ associations to sustain the gains of the clearing operations.
The city chief executive cited the improvement of traffic flow on Zapote-Alabang Road which is the city’s main thoroughfare as well as removal of sidewalk vendors and demolition of overlapping structures, including the unfinished excavations by various service utilities.
“These obstructions must be permanently out from our main thoroughfare and the inner roads since the sidewalks are for the pedestrians and the roads to motorists,” the lady mayor said.
TF Kaayusan was convened last July immediately after Aguilar’s re-election and prior to the DILG directive.
It is composed of the Estate Management and Development Office, City Engineering Office, and the Philippine National Police. (Jean Fernando)
