Bike lanes along Ayala Avenue will become shared lines starting Wednesday, February 15, to accommodate more commuters using public utility vehicles (PUVs), the Makati City government said.
“Starting February 15, 2023 , the Ayala Avenue bike lanes will be changed to sharrows or shared lanes to accommodate both bikers along with the increasing number of commuters riding PUVs and help improve traffic flow in the city,” the local government said in an advisory over the weekend.Interviewed on GMA News’ Unang Balita on Monday, AltMobility Philippines director Ira Cruz said turning bike lanes into shared lanes would put bikers at risk.
“Tutol kami doon sa kanilang minumungkahi na shared lanes dahil hindi ito realistic para sa ating mga bikers. Napaka-importante kasi na una, masigurado natin na ligtas ang mga bikers,” he said. According to Cruz, there are road designs that they can discuss with the Makati City government that would solve its concerns for commuters including designating more PUV lanes.
In a separate statement on Sunday, the Makati City government acknowledged concerns regarding the shared lanes but maintained that it will push through with its plan. “We ask for your support and understanding and we look forward to nurturing the good relationship we have built with the biking community as we come up with more bike-friendly initiatives in the city,” it said.
