Proposed Bugo traffic plans need refinement: Tabac

City Councilor Marlo Tabac called on the Barangay Bugo Council to revisit their traffic measures, citing gaps in the barangay ordinance and the need for clearer technical direction.

Tabac, presiding over the barangay affairs committee meeting, said the council has been moving swiftly on pending barangay concerns but noted that several proposed ordinances reach the committee lacking key details needed for sound deliberation.

He also stressed that principal authors of proposed measures should personally attend committee hearings instead of sending representatives who may be unable to fully explain the ordinance’s intent and rationale.

Supporting his call, Roads and Traffic Administration head Engr. Nonito Oclarit said the main proponent’s presence is crucial so questions raised during deliberations can be answered immediately.

Oclarit noted that Barangay Bugo’s ordinance appeared to combine separate concerns into one measure.

“Unsa ba gyud ang punto ani? For traffic scheme or peace and order? Kay mura manig sagol,” he said, pointing out that what began as a one-way traffic proposal later included checkpoint provisions.

He likewise flagged the absence of a road sketch plan.

“Dili namo ma-picture out kay walay sketch plan ang in and out,” Oclarit said, explaining that even during a site inspection, several streets were difficult to identify because of incomplete documentation.

Despite the gaps, Oclarit said the measure has merit if properly refined.

“Daghan kulang ang ordinansa, although maayo ni siya kay makatabang ni sa ilang barangay, pero daghan pa’g klaruhon,” he said.

On Barangay Bugo’s proposed anti-jaywalking ordinance, Oclarit urged coordination with the Department of Public Works and Highways for pedestrian barriers, signage, and lane markings, while recommending enforcement through the city’s existing Ordinance Violation Receipt system.

Tabac, meanwhile, reiterated that active participation of barangay officials and invited guests in committee deliberations remains essential to crafting legally sound local measures. (FDC/SP)
