The opening of the north terminal in Barangay Bata, Bacolod City, is scheduled next weekend, Bacolod Vice Mayor Jude Thaddeus Sayson said yesterday.
Sayson, vice chairman of the Bacolod Traffic Authority Council, said the city government has not declared that the terminal will be opened today or last August 27. Whoever made that announcement may have gotten his information on the contractor, he said. Sayson said Councilor Dindo Ramos, chairman of the Sangguniang Panlungsod Committee on Transportation and Traffic Management, had inspected the terminal and found out that there is a need to establish a route from the north terminal to the Shopping area. Meanwhile, an ordinance amending Section IX (B) of City Ordinance 338, Series of 2003, or an ordinance regulating traffic, parking, towing and other transporting or commuting activities in the streets of Bacolod City, establishing the route system of public utility vehicles and trucks, and redefining the loading and unloading zones in Bacolod City, was passed by the Bacolod Sangguniang Panlungsod on first reading Wednesday. Authored by Councilor Caesar Distrito and co-authored by Councilor El Cid Familiaran, the ordinance said City Ordinance 338, Series of 2003 designates a parking space on the east side only of Hilado Street, between Burgos and Galo streets. It said the space is not enough to be used as parking space for the vehicles of customers who regularly go to the South Public Market (Burgos Market). Market vendors have complained that the city enforcers implemented the “no parking” policy in the area and that drove away their customers and greatly affected their sales and profits, the resolution said. The ordinance amends Section IX (B) (5) of C.O. No. 338, Series of 2003 as “Parking system, towing and impounding illegally parked or stalled vehicles,” and allows diagonal parking on the east and west sides of Hilado Street, between Burgos and Galo streets, and along Hilado Street.*CGS CHRYSEE SAMILLANO Visayan Daily Star
