RESOLUTION NO. 14
(Series of 2008)

A RESOLUTION ENJOINING THE CITY PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT OFFICE (CPDO) AND THE OFFICE OF TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT & PUBLIC SAFETY (OTMPS) TO MAKE STUDIES AND PLANS TO ESTABLISH BICYCLE LANES IN THE MAJOR THOROUGHFARES OF THE CITY OF OLONGAPO


WHEREAS, the rise in economic activity and rejuvenation of the business climate in the City of Olongapo brought about by influx of local investments in both the city and in Subic Bay Freeport Zone, along with an expanding population, resulted to traffic congestion, as more private and public vehicles use the major thoroughfares as well as the parking areas;

WHEREAS, the rising cost of fuel and maintenance cost of vehicles are added financial burden to both private vehicle owners and operators of public utility vehicles;

WHEREAS, the poor maintenance of vehicles by the owners adds to environmental pollution by reducing the quality of air in the city which is detrimental to the health of the people;

WHEREAS, the use of bicycles shall be an alternative to lessen private vehicle usage which will eventually lead to reduction in vehicle emissions and promote good health;

WHEREAS, during the time of the Subic Naval Base as an American Military Installation, Filipino workers often go to and from work using bicycles;

WHEREAS, the streets and major thoroughfares of Olongapo City particularly the Rizal Avenue and RM Drive are congested due to the increasing number of parked private vehicles and other obstructions thereby compromising safety and increasing the risk to danger of pedestrians and bicycle riders;


NOW, THEREFORE, on motion of Councilor Aquilino Y. Cortez, Jr., with the unanimous accord of the Members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod present,

RESOLVED, AS IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, by the Sangguniang Panlungsod in session assembled, to enjoin, as it hereby enjoins the City Planning & Development Office and the Office of Traffic Management & Public Safety (OTMPS) to make studies and plans to establishment bicycle lanes in the major thoroughfares of the City of Olongapo.
