CITOM also rejected the flyovers as a solution--the existing flyovers have not helped ease congestion.<br /><br />also, cebu does not have a master plan which is why the construction of flyovers is arbitrary.<br /><br />i'd like to invite you to the Stop Cebu Flyovers Movement page by the Movement for a Livable Cebu on fb. there are ongoing discussions there and we wish to get genuine support of people who understand the issue and its implications. just last friday, 2 more flyovers had been proposed for 2013 funding despite the hold in abeyance order. quite alarming already.<br /><br />thank you for your time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
