A resolution inquiring from the City Engineer's Office through the City Mayor about the status of the Taculing-Alijis Bridge construction, was approved Wednesday by the Bacolod Sangguniang Panlungsod.
The resolution authored by Councilor Caesar Distrito, said the construction of the Taculing-Alijis Bridge was inaugurated on March 16, 2011, and the SP had authorized Mayor Evelio Leonardia to file expropriation proceedings for the property of Catholic Women's League (Bacolod Girls Home) which was affected by the construction. It has been eight months since the ratification the Compromise Agreement on January 11, 2012 but no further updates about the construction of the bridge were provided particularly to the SP, it said. The construction of the bridge is very important because it will surely shorten the distance for people traveling from the downtown area to Alijis, Handumanan and Cabug, and, at the same time, create a short cut between the two barangays and will also decongest traffic along the Araneta-Magsaysay area. The SP also approved a resolution authored by Councilor El Cid Familiaran requesting the Office of the Mayor to provide reflectorized jackets or vests for street cleaners, particularly those who are assigned during nighttime or the wee hours. The resolution said the recent traffic accident along Lacson Street involving a 70-year-old woman from Brgy. 39, Bacolod City who was a victim of alleged hit-and-run vehicle while performing her duty at night, is worthy of consideration. Previous to this incident, a similar incident also happened at night fronting the Redemptorist Church along B.S. Aquino Drive where another person was likewise killed, it said. These road night accidents, would have been avoided if appropriate actions had been properly taken by pertinent offices , it said. The resolution added such traffic incident would be minimized, if street cleaners are provided reflectorized jackets or vests to be worn while on duty, especially during nighttime or the wee hours.*CGS BY CHRYSEE SAMILLANO THE VISAYAN DAILY STAR
