BAGUIO CITY – City Mayor Reinaldo Bautista, Jr. has assured residents and tourists here the on-going rehabilitation of national and city roads and adjacent drainage canals with linear length of more than five kilometers will enhance the mountain resort’s safety during the coming rainy months.

Bautista said he recognizes the great inconvenience of hundreds of motorists and commuters in their daily battle with monstrous traffic as they move towards the city’s central business district but “In the long run, their sacrifices will be repaid by better roads and canals especially in the rainy months of July and August.”

The diggings and corrective measures to existing concrete pavements are mostly being done in the all-
weather Quirino Highway within Barangay Irisan, Kisad Road, Pucsusan Barangay area, Abanao extension, etc.

The on-going pavement improvement is being worked alongside the repairs and widening of existing drainage canals to spare the business district area from the usual flooding in the past six years.

Bautista said the government is doing everything it can to make this world-class tourism destination better prepared for disasters.
