In the road clearing operations at Panay Ave., Scout Borromeo, Sgt. Esguerra, Samar Ave., and other locations within the area, a total of 105 vehicles were issued violation tickets for illegal parking, while four vehicles were impounded.
“The SOG-SF has conducted an information campaign in the area days prior to today’s clearing operations. We have advised motorists as well as residents to avoid parking on sidewalks and roads,” said Vargas.
Penalties are P 1,000 for attended illegal parking and P 2,000 for unattended illegally parked vehicles. Towed vehicles were brought to the MMDA impounding area in Tumana, Marikina City.
Sidewalk clearing
Aside from the road clearing operations against illegally parked vehicles, sidewalk clearing operations were also carried out to address illegal vending, stall/store extensions, sidewalk encroachment, and illegal dumping of garbage that may hinder the use of sidewalks by pedestrians and that may cause traffic congestion.
The partial lane closure of the southbound portion of the Edsa-Kamuning flyover will start on May 1.
The said flyover is expected to fully open on October 25.
