Road Reblocking of Good Quality Roads

[cast_no_shadow]

Rant lang guys.

After the election natuwa ako, akala ko mababawasan na ang road reblocking / wasak ng daan.

Lalo ata dumami ngayon, on my usual route 80% ata hinuhukay and majority of these roads are maayos pa.

ang epekto traffic, wala pa nga pasok mga students. what more kung pasukan na.

i can't think of any logical reason why do we need to destroy a good paved road tapos sesementuhin lang din.

can anyone shed a light for me to understand.

they're given a set budget every year

they have to spend it or they'll get a smaller budget the following year

that's why they have to keep finding ways to spend all that money

In the case of some roads, pina-hold lang ang reblocking until after elections because it's bad for the image of the politico seeking reelection. I'm sure of this because our excavation permit for the water lines in one project was put on hold for so long because the mayor wanted no diggings during election. The irritating issue is if they (the LGU) frakking granted all the permits that were applied for on time instead of dilly-dallying (hint hint), we could have excavated and added the needed water lines with MWSS even BEFORE they started reblocking the road (taena, we started the project and applying for the necessary permits over a year before they even did the reblocking).

Coordinating these road work is just too complicated for the folks at city hall to do. So they don't. They just let the contractors work at it one at a time. Which is also why you have a perfectly fine road with a lamppost in the middle of it!

DPWH or the local government does not directly coordinate with MMDA on this. Parati ngang nagbabangaan ang MMDA and DPWH pagdating sa mga major thoroughfare repairs eh.

while MMDA is more concerned on the traffic and management of NCR's resources, DPWH's mandate is the creation and improvement of roads and bridges.

Kung kailangan gastusin yung budget, bakit hindi nila gawin yung mga sirang sira na daan?

Eh dito samin, Del Monte at Quezon Avenue, bagong aspalto lang last year yun, kinaskas na naman...

Samantala yung D.Tuazon dito samin, tadtad na ng lubak hindi man lang maayos ayos.

What I find really annoying is how most contractors do a shoddy job at repaving what was a perfectly-good road before. Take for example the entry ramp to West Service Road which I have to pass daily. It was alright last year. Maynilad excavated it and their contractors repaved it unevenly. Then a few months later, they dug up the road again but this time, they didn't even bother to reseal the asphalt so there is now a small portion of just gravel.

ang naaasar ako yung maynilad.
pag nagbakbak ng kunkreto minsan aspalto ba lang yung pinapalit.
sinementohan ng maganda itong 7th avenue. nagbakbak sinementuhan nila ulit pero yung tubig tumatagas. i see a lubak in the future.
prior sana nung mag-ayos ng kalye, kinumpuni na nila yung mga sira.
sayang pera! inutil talaga mga taong ito dinaig pa ang anay.

Nakakapagtaka talaga yang mga hinayupak na yan.

Kung alin pa yung matino, yun ang babakbakin. Tapos hindi pa pantay yung dugsungan. Kaya ang resulta, mas malubak.

At kung ano pa yung makinis na daan, yun pa yung ina-aspaltuhan. Weird!
