INSTALLATION of bicycle rack is being sought within the municipality of La Trinidad to be utilized for bike parking.
Through a resolution, La Trinidad Councilor Guiller Galwan is requested Mayor Romeo Salda for the installation of bicycle rack within the municipal building compound to be utilized for bike parking.
“These initiatives compliment public transport system and help reduce the congestion and pollution,” said Galwan.
