More 'People's Streets' launched in Pasig  

Published Feb 18, 2023 03:32 pm

As part of the “People’s Street” initiative of the Pasig City local government, Kapasigan Boulevard (Industria Extension) in Barangay Kapasigan will be closed to vehicular traffic every Sunday starting on Feb. 19.

The streets would be exclusively opened only for pedestrians, cyclists, and other light personal mobility vehicles from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.

According to the Pasig City Transport Development and Management Office (CTDMO), the street will also be a “no parking area.” This is to allow all spaces of the streets to be utilized by residents for their respective activities every Sunday.

The People’s Streets initiative serves to “give back the streets to the people” by providing a safe venue outdoors for citizens to conduct recreational activities without the danger of potential vehicular traffic accidents.

To compensate for the lack of green spaces in the compact city of Pasig, it is also an innovative way of transforming roads into open spaces for children to play, senior citizens to relax, and other people to exercise, wander, or socialize.

The CTDMO and the local government have opened various People’s Streets all over the city since 2022.

Among these are the following roads:

  • East Bank Road in Barangay Manggahan (Sunday, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.)
  • Caruncho Avenue Westbound in Barangay San Nicolas (Sunday, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.)
  • Lopez Jaena Street in Barangay Sumilang (Sunday, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.)
  • MH Del Pilar in Barangay Sto. Tomas (Sunday, 6 a.m. to 12 noon)
  • Emerald Avenue in Barangay San Antonio (Saturday, 6 a.m. to Sunday, 6 p.m.)
  • Kamagong Street in Barangay Bagong Ilog (Sunday, 6 a.m. to 12 noon)
  • Oranbo Drive in Barangay Oranbo (Sunday, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.)

Residents who will be staying at the aforementioned areas are still encouraged to follow health protocols.

The local government has been opening and renovating various parks within the city to increase community spaces in Pasig.

These parks include the Pineda and Buting Linear Parks projects in cooperation with the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA). Other parks such as the Bitukang Manok Linear Park, the RAVE Park or Maybunga Rainforest Park, and the pocket parks set up in the barangays.

The local government has also supported initiatives that promote cycling such as offering free bike lessons at Caruncho Avenue, requiring all business establishments in Pasig to provide bicycle parking areas (via City Ordinance No. 13, series of 2011), supporting legislation that emphasizes cycling as an essential means of transportation (via Resolution No. 59, series of 2020), adding protected bike lanes in roads, and encouraging the use of electric vehicles (EVs) like e-bikes.
