The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) shelved its proposal to implement a “zipper lane” from Main Avenue to Guadix Drive to ease congestion on the southbound lane of Edsa, especially during rush hour.
MMDA officer in charge and general manager Tim Orbos, however, said they would continue to look for solutions to address congestion in the Cubao-Ortigas corridor, one of the most congested areas on the thoroughfare.
Among the options they were considering were opening up more roads, including building a new access road in the Santolan area; stricter enforcement of the no-illegal parking policy; and easing traffic flow in areas near schools, restaurants and other establishments.
“We need to exert effort to find all ways and means to reduce congestion and make vehicles move before we even consider other measures that are being pushed such as the odd-even scheme,” Orbos said.
