Sa totoo lang kasi nakakadistract ung malalaking billboard sa mga motorista saka masyadong over tingnan sobrang daming billboard sa EDSA. Dapat kung di man maiwasan tanggalin mga billboard, sana nga me specific size,height lang na dapat sinusunod at hindi yung sobrang laki na singlaki na ng building mismo. Di ba nung 2006 me bagyo na super lakas na ilang malalaking steel skeleton kung saan kinakabit ung mga billboard ang bumagsak? For safety reasons na rin.

Meron din akong alam na Subway disco.

Isa sa magandang mangyayari sa EDSA kung magkakaroon ng widening dyan sa area na yan.

it will almost be impossible. they will have to demolish billions worth of properties (like Paragon Plaza, GA Towers and some mansions in Forbes Park) which are almost hugging the outermost lanes of EDSA. It will cost taxpayers a lot.

hmm or build a "Big Dig" kind of project to alleviate traffic etc. but that would also cost alot of $$$

Widening? SA tingin nyo ba eh hindi yan naisip ng gobyernong ito noon?
Shempre oo naman eh masyadong magastos kaya overpass at underpass nlang ginawa, cheaper and faster vs widening the entire stretch of EDSA.

Minadali yata ang pag-gagawa ng MRT3. Some parts are elevated, some part not. And the trains are too few to accommodate the sudden increase in passengers. I hope they would allot enough space for the C-6 Project. It's useless going a much longer roundabout if the traffic is just as worse as EDSA and/or C-5.

Like the situation of Pasay Rotunda. From a 5-6 laned EDSA from MOA to Taft Avenue Extension, it will suddenly turn into 3 lanes per direction. From 10-14 lanes, all of a sudden it became a narrow 6 lanes because Taft Avenue Station is making a bottleneck in the area.

as far as Makati area is concerned, ans as far as I can remember, the rich folks wanted the MRT underground...kaya kumain ng lanes sa part na yan...as for the other parts gusto ata nila hindi roller coaster yung MRT kaya ganyan.

what i meant was, yuing pink lines sa sidewalk katabi ng mga gated communitties... hinde ba kaya galawin ng MMDA yun? bakit demolish sila ng demolish sa mga squatter, yung mga mayayaman, hinde nila kaya. btw, about MRT not being elevated near sa mga gated communities. ayaw nila ng elevated, kasi makikita yung mga naliligo sa pools nila. kasi kita nga naman yun kapag elevated ang mrt, diba...

Ang mga squatter nasa public space while the gated communities are private lands.

dapat nasa ilalim ng lupa talaga ang MRT sa lugar na binabanggit mo, forbes park; sa ibabaw ng lupa nandun nga ang Fort Bonifacio - Buendia interchange at ang Rockwell Estrella interchange. Kung atgrade ang MRT diyan, isipin mo lang, siksikan at magiging 2 lanes ang EDSA sa Makati. Buti nga nagkaroon ng kasunduan ang mga inhinyero.
