The authorities, led by a team from the MMDA Metro Parkways Clearing Group, conducted the recent clearing operations in areas like Baclaran in Paranaque City and EDSA Taft Avenue in Pasay City, where illegally parked vehicles, pedicabs, and sidewalk vendors were removed.
The campaign aims to alleviate road congestion by the start of classes on Aug. 29 and the upcoming holiday season, when traffic is expected to be heavy. On Friday, MMDA officials, led by MMDA chai Romando Artes, met with school administrators from Quezon City, Mandaluyong City, and San Juan City to discuss complaints and propose the deployment of traffic enforcers to regulate traffic flow in the affected areas.
