PARKING SPACES TO ADDRESS TRAFFIC PROBLEMS

Olongapo City Mayor James “Bong” Gordon, Jr. encouraged business proprietors to consider putting up parking spaces for their establishments.

In the recent flag raising ceremony of city officials and employees at Rizal Triangle Multi-Purpose Center, Mayor Gordon said businessmen in Olongapo should provide parking lots for their vehicles and for their customers as well.

The Mayor said, parking spaces would significantly help reduce the heavy flow of traffic in the city thereby making the roads more convenient and safer for motorists, pedestrians and tourists, alike.

Mayor Gordon also cited that the opening of the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) would result to more tourists with their vehicles heading to the city. Thus, parking spaces would somehow lessen traffic problems.

SCTEX connects Subic Bay Freeport Zone (SBFZ), Clark Airways and Tarlac for a shorter travel time. It is one among the mega-projects of President Gloria Arroyo intended to transform Central and Northern Luzon into a super region. PAO/jpb/
