MALAUMON si Konsehal Eric Salcedo, chairman sa komite sa public utilities, nga mahan-ay na ang tanan alang sa pagpatuman sa Local Public Transport Route Plan (LPTRP) sa syudad sa umaabot July 21 ning tuig.
Kini ang gipahibalo ni Salcedo atol sa tigom sa komite uban sa tanang transport sektor, mga magpapatigayon, ug sa mga nagkadaiyang ahensya sa gobyerno.
Nagtuo ang konsehal nga human sa taas nga panahon nga gihatag sa opisina sa Roads and Traffic Administration (RTA) ug uban pang buhatan sa gobyerno lokal aron tun-an ang maong modernized program, mapatuman na gayod kini sa hingpit.
Nasayran nga nauktaba ang pagpatuman sa LPTRP sa milabayng tuig tungod sa reklamo sa mga traditional jeepney driver ug operator nga napihig sila sa rota tungod sa layo nga biyahe apan susama lang ang pletehan ug nalakip sa ilang rota ang pipila ka hinterland barangays nga dili na makaya kay daan na ang ilang mga sakyanan hinungdan nga temporaryong gipahunong ni Mayor Rolando Klarex Uy ang pagpatuman sa LPTRP alang sa dugang pagtuon.
Nanghinaot si Konsehal Eric Salcedo nga masabot sa katawhan ug paluyohan ang maong programa tungod ug alang sa kalamboan sa atong nasud ug sa dakbayan. (MLR/SP)
"GIVE us a clear-cut opinion."
This was the directive of City Councilor Edgar Cabanlas during the recent meeting of the City Council committee on economic enterprises as he urged the City Legal Office (CLO) to submit its final position together with the draft contract, on the proposed general renovation or redevelopment of Puerto Market and Cogon Market under a Build-Operate-and-Transfer (BOT)/Public-Private Partnership (P4) scheme pursuant to City Ordinance No. 15285-2026.
Cabanlas noted that the committee had already conducted several meetings on the matter and stressed the need to move the proposal forward.
"For the last time, I will reschedule again," Cabanlas said, emphasizing the importance of obtaining the CLO's opinion to facilitate the committee's deliberations.
The committee is scheduled to reconvene on July 29, giving the City Legal Office additional time to prepare and submit the requested documents. (SPE/SP)
