‘We need wide roads, not many overpasses’

Quezon province residents led by former Mayor Moises Villaseñor of Lucban town on Tuesday assailed the use of “pork” in the mushrooming construction of multi-million pedestrian overpasses.

Villaseñor, a three-term Lucban mayor cited the overpass in front of Southern Luzon State University (SLSU) on a six-meters wide road which cost P9 million from Quezon District I lawmaker Mark Enverga. Teachers and students of the university and residents in the area have made several appeals to the DPWH Quezon I Office, requesting that what they need is “road widening” to solve the traffic in the area.
