Aside from the P3.5 million road project in Barangay Mandalagan that Bacolod Rep. Evelio Leonardia inaugurated Saturday, he also inaugurated another P3.5-million road project in Barangay Estefania on the same day. The newly concreted road stretches from Camelot Road to Country Homes Road. "This project will have a big impact on the commuting public as thousands of residents from several subdivisions are using this road," Leonardia said during the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Estefania is now considered as a "growth area" because of the presence of several subdivisions like Meadows of Camelot, Camelot Village, Camelot Residences, Villa East Subdivision, Alexandra 1 and 2, East Homes 1, 2, and 3, Cityville, Bethany Court, Fortune Towne, Greensville 1, 2, and 3, and Country Homes 1 and 2. For those coming from Barangays Granada and Alangilan and these subdivisions, the newly concreted road becomes an alternative road going to the Circumferential Road, Leonardia said. If you are from these areas and you are going to the airport, you only need to pass through this road and it will connect you to the Bacolod-Silay Airport Access Road (BSAAR). You don't need to scramble at the Lopue's East area junction, where, unfortunately, because of the objection of suspended Mayor Monico Puentevella, the intended P365-million flyover did not push through, he added. From BSAAR, it will further connect you to the Honorata Manalo Road (formerly Buri Road) in Mandalagan, leading to the Lacson St. This is the way we should develop Bacolod, our road networks must be integrated," Leonardia added. Leonardia is also pursuing the implementation and completion of the proposed 4-lane Buri Road under the Tourism Convergence program of the Department of Tourism and the Department of Public Works and Highways. He said he hopes that the present administration under Acting Mayor Greg Gasataya and Acting Vice Mayor El Cid Familiaran will facilitate the resolution of the pending concerns affecting this project. For his part, Barangay Estefania Kagawad Narding Pagunsan, meanwhile, said they are very thankful to Leonardia for facilitating their request to develop the Estefania road. Before this, the road from Camelot to Country Homes could hardly be used, Pagunsan said. Now Estefania residents, and even those from other barangays can use the road in going to the airport or similar routes, he said, adding that it also helped decongest the Lopue's East area. The road project in Estefania is implemented by the DPWH and funded under the Regional and Local Community Infrastructure Program. Also attending the inauguration were Acting Mayor Greg Gasataya, Acting Vice Mayor El Cid Familiaran, Councilors Em Ang and Caesar Distrito, former councilor Al Victor Espino, Bart Orola, Kagawad Narding Pagunsan, Kagawad Audie Solivar, Romanito Solinap, and Marlon Solidum.*
