With the continuing problem of Davao’s traffic situation, newly elected National Chairman of the Board of Philippine Councilor’s League Danilo Dayanghirang announced that the city will be having a series of traffic signalization project.
“We need to give emphasis on fixing our traffic signalization project especially with the advent of the infrastructure program in the city,” Dayanghirang said.
According to the councilor, there are 11 major projects that needed infrastructure development and traffic signalization that have a total cost of P 46 billion. Three of these are already on-going.
He said also part of the infrastructure development project is the construction of the four-lane road from Milan going to Cabantian area.
Councilor Dayanghirang who is also the city council Chairman of Finance and Ways and Means Committee said that this year, the budget allocated for the traffic signalization project is P 36M.
“Last year, we had a budget of P 56M but there is still unspent budget in 2016 that is why we requested a lower budget for 2017. Expenditures for maintenance and operation are good for two years, hence a continuing appropriation unlike salaries and wages that have zero appropriations every year,” Dayanghirang said.
