5 more overpass eyed in Dumaguete
By Syril G. Repe
APEC Party-list Representative Sunny Madamba plans to build five more pedestrian overpasses in selected traffic congested areas of Dumaguete City.
Madamba turned over last May 12 to the City Government of Dumaguete his P5 million completed pedestrian overpass in front of Silliman University High School along Hibbard Avenue.
The five sites are Saint Paul University highway, Negros Oriental Provincial Hospital highway, Negros Oriental State University highway, and Perdices and Real streets.
Madamba said he was studying further his plan to avoid any controversy that marred the building of the Hibbard avenue overpass.
At the moment, he said, he was busy with allocating funds from his congressional initiative to build school buildings in selected sites in Dumaguete City and Negros Oriental.
Madamba said the Hibbard Avenue project was planned by the SU alumni batch of 1963 to prevent traffic accidents.
