Re: DPWH brass backs motorcycle lane

This is “muy excellente” if it can be implemented. HDE Rodolfo Dion is so excited to back it up. It is the theory not the practicality that Mr. Dion is drooling about.

How can you allocate bike paths along the hi-ways when there is no room to expand? Where will you get the extra piece of real estate, Mr. Dion? You need 2 to 3 meters at most for such a path.

Check it out. Look closely. After you pass the south diversion toll road going into Dau all the way to Pangasinan, there is no shoulder or curb that allows such idea. If the hi-way is not the problem, how about the houses that are too close to the macadam.

With the attitude and mentality of the Filipino driver which cannot differentiate the legit from the illegal, you would know pretty soon enough that all traffic including 18 wheelers will be straddling these bike paths.

I cross my fingers for the success of this endeavor, but I’ll hold in reserve the belief that the money intended will be used where it is supposed to be. With the batting average in corruption is way out the ballpark, only the Devil knows.
