PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Wednesday directed the \u00a0Department of Transportation (DOTr) to tear down the controversial \u201cMt. Kamuning\u201d footbridge in Quezon City and replace it with a safer, more accessible pedestrian crossing.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The footbridge has long been criticized for being inaccessible, particularly to senior citizens and persons with disability (PWD).<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n “Ang tingin ko talaga sa saloobin ni Pangulo ay hindi naman talaga dapat ganito ang ginagawa natin para sa mga kababayan natin lalo na’ yung mga road user at commuter,” DOTr Secretary Vince Dizon said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cSinabi sa akin ng Pangulo, ‘we have to tear it down and build a better one.’ And I think that is really the essence of what he wants to do,” Dizon added.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Transportation chief assured the public that the government will act swiftly to follow through on the President\u2019s directive.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cMalinaw naman ang utos ng Pangulo na gawing mas convenient ang facilities natin para sa pedestrians at commuters. At \u2018yan ang gagawin natin, sisiguruhin natin na \u2018yung ipapalit na overpass ay mas madali para sa mga kakabayan natin,\u201d said Dizon.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n According to Dizon, the new footbridge will be built at a lower elevation, will feature elevators, and be directly connected to the GMA-Kamuning EDSA Busway station.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Construction is expected to start this year.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Wednesday directed the Department of Transportation (DOTr) to tear down the controversial “Mt.
