Poe on postponement of Edsa rehab

We laud President Marcos for heeding reason in postponing the rehabilitation of Edsa.

Without adequate preparation, the closure of a portion of the main thoroughfare would result in mayhem, exacerbating the suffering of our commuters and motorists.

We trust that the following weeks will be spent laying down a comprehensive and efficient plan for traffic management when the rehabilitation is rolled out.

Concerned agencies might also want to consider proposals to carry out the repairs in phases and under a 24/7 scheme to speed up the work.

More consultations with concerned stakeholders and affected groups should also be conducted to gather more ideas on easing traffic while rehab is ongoing.
