BAGUIO CITY – Seven
proposed measures have been scheduled for public consultation by the city
council this August.
On Aug. 1,
the city council committee on public utilities, transportation and traffic
legislation will present the following proposals to public forum at 9 a.m. at
the Multi-Purpose Hall:
Proposed
towing ordinance by Councilors Benny Bomogao, Michael Lawana and Faustino
Olowan;
Proposed
ordinance by Councilor Arthur Allad-iw requiring all local and national
government offices, private and public schools, private and public hospitals,
Justice Hall, banks, churches, malls, supermarkets, call centers, funeral
homes, bus and van terminals, condominiums, hotels and apartels to install taxi
signages;
Proposed
ordinance designating loading and unloading and taxi stands along roads and streets
and proposed resolution requesting for the construction of podium car parking
in the city particularly at the areas of Ganza in between Orchidarium and
Children’s Park, former Pantranco and the whole stretch of the City Library
both by Councilors Bomogao, Lawana and Olowan.
On Aug. 11
at 9 a.m. at the City Council Session Hall, the committee laws, human rights
and justice will hold a public hearing on the proposed amendatory ordinance
filed by Councilor Edgar Avila amending section 6 of Ordinance No. 1 series of
2003 or the Baguio City Number Coding Scheme and on another amendatory measure
proposed by Vice Mayor Edison Bilog seeking to refine Ordinance No. 61 series
of 2008 or the Clean Air Ordinance of Baguio City.
Avila
sought to include self-driven motor vehicles, motor bikes of senior citizens
and differently abled persons among those exempted from the number coding
scheme.
Bilog’s
amendment on the other hand focused on adding a provision in the Clean Air
ordinance where offenses by polluting vehicles will be reset yearly and will
not be accumulatively counted “considering the normal wear and tear of vehicles
which is beyond the control of motorists.”
