Mayor wants public vehicles along Governor Pack Road removed
BAGUIO City Mayor Braulio Yaranon has ordered the removal of all public utility vehicles (PUVs) along Governor Pack Road not covered by any parking agreement with the City Government.
Yaranon said he issued the order upon the recommendation by the Governor Pack Road Task Force after noting the proliferation of vehicles using the area as terminal without authority from the City Government.
To implement the order, the mayor directed the Baguio City police and the Public Order and Safety Office to conduct spot inspections in the area to prevent the vehicles from parking along the stretch.
The mayor said the clearing of Governor Park Road is in preparation for the final verification of all applications for the new parking scheme to be implemented in the area.
Yaranon earlier ordered the task force headed by City Building and Architecture Office (CBAO) Chief Oscar Flores to review of the contracts of lease of the various PUVs occupying the area as terminals as well as the pay-parking policies to ensure transparent and effective management of the pay-parking scheme.
The review of the contracts is needed to also update the city's records of transactions and determine the number of the present occupants of the parking area.
The revised policies govern the road use plan, pay-parking scheme and regulatory fees in areas in consideration of public welfare, health, protection, safety and unimpeded traffic flow. (AR)
