BACOLOD City – Gov. Alfredo Marañon Jr. of Negros Occidental urged local officials to clear obstructions on all major streets in the city to ease traffic congestion.
With a major thoroughfare, such as Lacson Street, congested, Marañon instructed to remove specifically structures blocking the way of motorists taking alternative routes.
Marañon said such structures are illegal.
The streets of San Juan and Gatuslao, which serve as alternative routes, are obstructed by “squatters,” according to Marañon.
A “good number” of city streets are occupied by these “squatters” – including commercial establishments – the governor added.
“Tani ang San Juan Street leading to Barangay Banago should be cleared of ‘squatters’ or obstruction because it can ease up Lacson-Mandalagan and Bangga Pepsi (routes) which are considered as bottleneck areas of traffic,” Marañon stressed.
Moreover, Marañon also blamed the “snail pace” of drainage construction along Gastuslao Street for the traffic jam.
“I had been complaining about it but it is a project of the officials of Bacolod City. I am just a governor,” Marañon said./PN
