| Last month, at least four predators were pointed out to the TP by some of the Tricycle drivers on Fields Ave and with the cooperation of the police at station four they were rounded up, pictures taken and stored in the TP office computer then banned from Fields Ave. These are the very dangerous individuals that work their con game in broad daylight on Fields Ave and surrounding areas. The Director of the Tourist Police, Richard Agnew has vowed to reduce criminal incidents in the Tourism Area by 50% before the end of the year. One of the major problems on Fields Ave is the traffic congestion, speeding, and parking. Hopefully, starting this month there will be an improvement as ACTA has requested one way traffic flow, no parking areas, speed limits for tricycles and designated parking areas for the tricycles. The president of the Tricycle Association has promised complete cooperation and the head of the AC Traffic Division, Major Mallari has promised strict enforcement of the new requirements. This is a compromise to the proposed Fields Ave walking street plan which could not be implemented at this time until the Fields Ave Master Plan has been completed. Well respected architect Felino “Jun” Palafox has been contracted with to prepare this plan to include the Clark Economic Zone (CSEZ) and the Subic Bay Metro Authority (SBMA) . |
