The local government of Makati has deferred the conversion of bike lanes along Ayala Avenue to March 6, saying it needs ample time to implement enhancements on bikers’ safety.
This comes after cyclists and advocates protested against the local government's move to convert bike lanes into shared lanes, or “sharrows,” that will combine the spaces for vehicles and bikes.
“We agree that the safety of all road users should be given utmost importance. As such, we will enhance measures to further protect bikers,” city officials said in a statement late Tuesday evening. “To give us ample time to implement these enhancements, the conversion of bike lanes will be deferred to March 6, 2023,” it read.
The Makati government previously said converting the lanes by Feb. 15 was a move to accommodate more bikes and commuters using public utility vehicles. Cyclists from different groups earlier took to the streets to protest against the conversion, reasoning that the removal of bike lanes endanger lives of all commuters, not just cyclists.
