The proposed project is located in Metro Manila (see Figure 1). The conceptual arterial system in Metro Manila XL consists of six circumferential roads and 10 radial roads. Circumferential Road 4 (C-4) better known as Epifanio delos Santos Avenue (EDSA) is the most important component of the major thoroughfares system of Metro Li Manila and is heavily congested. To reduce the traffic load at EDSA, the Department of Public Works and Highways is prioritizing the completion of Circumferential Road 5 I L (C-S) and its related roads. However, it is anticipated that the completion of C-5 and consequently the diversion of traffic from EDSA to (C-5) will result to new traffic rI problems in other roads. One of these will be the - worsening of traffic congestion at the intersection of Aurora Boulevard and Katipunan Avenue. The proposed project is meant to-minimize this problem. In addition, 'the project will provide another bridge crossing Marikina River which will provide easier accesibility to the fast urbanizing areas east of the river. The Marikina Bridge and Access Road Project will be an interchange complex connecting Boni Serrano Avenue to F" Marcos Highway. From Boni Serrano Avenue, it will pass along the west bank of the Marikina River before branching into two directions. One link will connect to . the east approach of Marcos Bridge while the other will connect with Marcos Highway at the west approach of the -- bridge. All connections will be grade separated to allow F a fully uninterrupted traffic flow. The positive impacts of the project includes the reduction of traffic congestion at the intersection of Aurora Boulevard and Katipunan Avenue; faster travel from and to Marikina, San Mateo, Montalban, Antipolo, and other towns of Rizal Province; and the easing of traffic at EDSA through traffic diversion to C-5. An indirect impact will be the reduction of air pollution at EDSA as a result of the diversion of traffic to C-5 and becauise the vehicles will be moving faster and staying shorter | time on the road. Air pollution at the intersection of Aurora Boulevard and Katipunan Avenue will also decrease mainly because of the easing of traffic congestion.

3 F 'l

The negative impacts of the project includes the increase of air pollutants at the project site; the dislocation of some squatter families; and the destruction of the present crops planted at the project site. These however,

1L are not very serious to warrant the scrapping of the project. Mitigating measures that will be adopted to address the above negative impacts includes the provision of a relocation site for those that will be dislocated; the planting of trees along the road to reduce air and noise pollution; and the compensation of people who will lose their properties as a result of the project. The project as a whole will be beneficial to people in Metro Manila and the positive impacts far outweighs the negative impacts.

4.1 Declaration and Objectives The Urban Road Projects Office under the"Department of Public Works and Highways is tasked with the [,^planning, construction, and maintenance of roads in i urban centers such as Metr'o Manila. This project which is being proposed by the above office is intended to ease the traffic congestion in Metro Manila. T,The problem of traffic congestion in Metro I Manila is increasing at an alarming pace. This is the result of the very rapid development in the area and the failure to provide the necessary infrastructure to match such development.

During the 1950's, the geographical extent of the '' urban development was contained within the boundaries of C-4 which is now popularly known as Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA). The region consisted of the four cities of Manila, Kalookan, Pasay, and parts of Quezon City and the town of San -'i Juan in Rizal Province. During the 1960's and 1970's, as urban sprawl ensued, the Metropolitan Manila region grew from an original area of K'! approximately 80 square kilometers in 1953 to 260 square kilometers in 1972, and then to 410 square kilometers in 1976. In 1972, satellite photos of the Metro Manila region showed that urban sprawl encompassed the additional towns of Valenzuela in Bulacan Province, and Malabon, Navotas , Pasig, |1~ Mandaluyong, parts of Las Pinas and Paranaque in Rizal Province. In 1976, after the edict creating the Metro Manila Commission governing the special ii National Capital Region, the towns of Taguig, Muntinlupa, Pateros, and Marikina; all of the Province of Rizal were likewise incorporated into 14 what is now called Metropolitan Manila. In 1986, Metropolitan Manila covered an area'of approximately 710 sq. kms. By this time the urban I sprawl of Metro Manila had extended over the boundaries of the National Capital Region and has even encroached on the neighboring towns of Cainta, Fl Taytay, and Antipolo of Rizal Province; San Pedro,

5 ii and Binan of Laguna; Bacoor of Cavite; and Meycauyan of Bulacan. The geographical extent of the metropolis has increased from a radius of development of 7 kms. in 1953 to 20 kms. in 1986. At this time, the radius could be around 25 kms. Despite efforts by the government to infuse larger capital investments in the region, government infrastructure programs have not kept pace with the population growth and physical development. The fast paced population growth has overshot allocated capital investments of the government. In a span of 37 years, the urban population grew from 1.7 million to 7.8 million in 1990. Infrastructure projects such as water supply, drainage and sewerage systems, and specially roads have not kept abreast with Metro Manila's uncontrolled expansion. The Metro Manila transportation system __ .consists mainly of a network of radial and circumferential roads. The rail system carry only a minor portion of the total traffic. The roads which carry the heaviest burden in providing efficient circulation in the metropolis are in most stretches heavily congested. The main radial roads numbering ten, spring outward from downtown Manila. On the other hand the major circumferential roads, currently six, are concentric half ring roads with downtown Manila as the core. These circumferntial roadways are in various states of developments or in areas where rights-of-way acquisition are still in process, have not been completely developed. Vehicular accesses used by the residents of Metro Manila to travel from their homes to their places of work and vice versa has been.largely inadequate. [fiL Geographical expansion have gone beyond the - --alignment of C-6, while the construction of the radial and circumferential roads meant to service iltthe areas enclosed within C-6 have not been completed. Of the six major circumferentials, only C-1, C-2, and C-4 are complete. C-3, C-5, and *C-6 are still partially existent or in the planning and design stages. Of the ten radials which include Ortigas Avenue, eight are existent but in various ft states of disrepair. Two of the ten radial roads are still in the planning or design stages. Construction of new major roads were given-- 'low priority by the Metro Manila Commission in 1985, the reason being the weakness of sustained national economic growth. It did not improve very much in the next administration except in the later part of it |the term when the flyovers along EDSA, Nagtahan and 6 1-1 Roxas Boulevard were constructed. The flyovers at EDSA was meant to relieve the traffic congestion at several intersection such as that at Kamias and Kamuning Road, Santolan Avenue, Ortigas Avenue, and I.. Gil Puyat Avenue. However, inspite of the construction of these flyovers, EDSA is still congested. There is a strong need to complete the ; | other circumferential roads namely C-3, C-5, and C- ii ^6 to relieve EDSA of the traffic congestion. This '! . project is part of the C-5 road system which is Fj *. meant to decongest EDSA. 4.2 The Need ,The daily traffic congestion at EDSA has Io contributed to the worsening air pollution in Metro Manila. Thousands of cars, jeepneys, and buses are kept running for hours with minimal movement. Thus, each vehicle may consume twice as much fuel as it should had there been no traffic congestion. This translate to greater amount of air pollutants as the fuel burnt is transformed to carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide. Also in the process, nitrogen oxides are formed. All of these contribute to-the air pollution in the metropolis.

I Not only does the traffic congestion result to higher levels of air pollutants, it also translate into higher fuel cost. Higher fuel cost in turns translate to higher fares and higher fares translate to higher cost of goods and services. Likewise, because of the longer travel time, people spend more time on the road and thus lessen their productivity. Also, people get tired travelling and l -- therefore their time and quality of relaxation is reduced. Oftentimes, drivers become impatient in wait-ing for the greenlight to come so that some ignore the traffic lights or many try to anticipate [1 the greenlight and try to beat others to the intersection. This has resulted to frequent traffic accidents and altercations between drivers. Drivers |1 also become irritable that they tend to blow their horns very often resulting to unnecessary noise pollution. I. With all the above consequences of traffic congestion, there is clearly a need to find ways:!to - - decongest the roads in Metro Manila particularly EDSA. One of the solutions is the completion of C- 5. At present several sections of C-S has not yet been completed. One of these sections is the direct | l connection of E Rodriguez Avenue to Katipunan 7 I!l i

Avenue. After studying several possible options, the project proponent chose to have a road that will connect E Rodriguez to Marcos Highway and then another road to connect Marcos Highway with Katipunan Avenue. With this option, the project proponent evaluated several proposed alignments.

_ Whatever alignmentwill be chosen, the construction will affect several people. It will. cut through a l~ military camp and the few squatter houses along the [ banks of Marikina River will have to be demolished or relocated. It will also interfere with the proposed Sito Olandes Phase II Sites and Services Project of the National Housing Authority. Sitio Olandes is one of the sitios of Barangay Industrial Valley. Also, the construction of the road will result to changes in the drainage pattern in the II areas opposite the Marikina River and may increase the likeLihood of flooding unless this is addressed in the design of the road. However, considering the total positive impacts of the project and noting that mitigating measures will be adopted, the project is definitely viable.

4.3 Alternatives To achieve the decongestion of EDSA, several alternatives are possible. One is to construct underpasses and flyovers in most or in all the intersections of EDSA. Some flyovers and -1- underpasseshave been constructed in the last two years and this has resulted to better traffic flow along EDSA. However, this is quite not enough as there are still long traffic queues specially from Ortigas Avenue up to Gil Puyat Avenue. Widening of EDSA is considered not feasible as it will be very X~ Ldifficult to acquire the necessary right of way. Another alternative would be to develop alternate routes. As envisaged by the highway planners of the X- government,the other circumferentialroads are the better alternate routes. Of these C-S and C-3 will have the greatest impact in reducing the traffic load at EDSA. However, it is anticipated that the completion of C-5 and the diversion of traffic from EDSA to C-5 will result to new traffic problems'on other roads. One of these will be the worsening of X- the present traffic congestion at the intersection of Aurora Boulevard and Katipunan Avenue. In anticipation of this problem, this project, the Marikina Bridge and Access Road Project was

j_~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ conceived as a complementary project to C-5. The plan is to construct a road linking E Rodriguez Avenue and Katipunan Avenue in the north which will pass along the banks of the Marikina River and crossing Marcos Highway and Bonifacio Avenue. This link is aimed to: 1) Serve as complementary road to C-5, Quezon City segment. 2) Decongest Aurora Boulevard particularly the F Aurora Boulevard - Katipunan Avenue intersection. 3) Provide another link to Marikina and other towns of Rizal Province to Quezon City and the rest of Metro Manila.

To provide the link, several road I alignments/schemes were evaluated. The evaluation of the different alternatives are presented in Annex 1 and Annex 2. The initial evaluation was l. conducted on three suggested alignment refered to as Line A, Line B, and Line C. Based on the initial evaluation, Line C was considered the best r-. considering the following criteria: 1) Decongestion of Aurora Boulevard and its intersection with C-5.

2) As a complementary road to C-5. 3) Access road of motorists coming from'the east.

4) Investment cost. 5) eEconomic indicator (internal rate of return). 1 ' 6) Right of way problems. However, during the public hearings conducted on i October 12, 1992 and December 8, 1992, objections were raised against the proposed alignment. Subsequently, other alignments were suggested and these were similarly evaluated (see Annex 2). Based on the evaluat'ions and the consensus during the second public hearings, Scheme E as shown in Figure 2 was considered the most appropriate and was I adopted. The Minutes of Public Hearing are presented in Annex 3.

I '~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~5 t -~~~4.4Associated Projects 4.4 As discussed earlier, and as the project title implies, the project is related to Circumferential Road 5. This project will stimulate growth in

and other towns of Rizal Province as it will shorten travelling time from and to this areas. More people will be encouraged to take up residence in Marikina, San Mateo, and Montalban instead of going south in Sta. Rosa and Binan, Laguna which are much further from the center of the metropolis. At present many people shun Marikina because of the traffic problems and lack of accessibility. The project encourage development of more subdivisions in the eastern towns and the establishment of more commercial establishments will follow. Likewise, more industries are likely to be put-up.

I IL 5.1 General Layout r The proposed project calls for a link between Col. B. Serrano Avenue and E. Rodriguez Avenue to Marcos Highway. The scheme chosen is Scheme E as shown in [ Figure 2 and Annex 2. This calls for the extension * - of Col. B. Serrano Avenue which at present is only up to the gate of Camp Atienza. The road will skirts Camp Atienza and cuts through Camp Melchor i Aquino and will run straight and parallel to the Marikina River until the section where Marikina [L River changes direction, a new bridge -will be constructed over the Marikina River. A two lane road that will allow Cubao bound traffic to turn left at Marcos Highway will be built poLssing underneath the.new bridge. Another road that will C allow traffic from Cubao to turn right at Marcos Highway and connect to the proposed new road will also be constructed. The road after the proposed new bridge will bapproach Marcos Highway with a split ramp. The loop ramp will pass underneath the Marcos bridge and will allow south bound traffic from Marcos Highway to proceed to E. Rodriguez Avenue or to make a U-turn under the bridge without having to interrupt the flow of traffic along Marcos Highway. The other ramp will also allow r traffic from E Rodriguez or from Col. B Serrano Avenue to turn right at Marcos Highway.

The scheme is an interchange complex providing uninterrupted traffic flow from and to Marcos Highway. This will allow the diversion of traffic flow from E Rodriguez Avenue and Col. B Serrano Avenue going to Aurora Boulevard to Marcos Highway without necessarily transferring the traffic problem from Aurora Boulevard to Marcos Highway. With a smooth flow of traffic from E. Rodriguez Avenue and Col. B Serrano Avenue to Marcos Highitay and onto Katipunan Avenue, many motorists who otherwise would take -EDSA when they travel from Makati, Pasay, and other southern towns going to the north will now take the C-5 route. Also people f coming from Manila, Pasig, San Juan, Mandaluyong, } ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~11 F , # i

Makati, Pasay, and other towns in the south going to Marikina, San Mateo, Montalban, and Antipolo will avoid passing through Aurora Boulevard thus relieving the heavy tra-ffic congestion at the intersection of Katipunan Avenue and Aurora Boulevard. 5.2 Pre-construction Details 5.2.1 Project Construction Schedule

At this stage, the construction schedule has not yet been prepared. The design phase of the project started in September 1992 and is expected or scheduled to be completed in August 1993. Formulation of the construction schedule is difficult as the final'detailed engineering design is not yet completed. However, projects of I this nature will probably take from one year to two years to complete. The project is divided into two contract packages to allow stage construction and to open the implementation to two smaller qualified contractors. As part of the pre-construction activities, road right of way has to be acquired. The structures that will be affected such as some buildings in Camp Melchor Aquino and a few squatter houses along the Marikina River Bank will be demolished (See Photograph I in Annex 3). The squatters that will be affected will I have to be relocated to other areas. The -- problem on relocation will be coordinated with other concerned government agencies I such as the National Housing Authority. Access to the project site on the west bank of the river is not a problem as there are already existing roads that connect to it. On the eastside, the rotary road which passes under the Marcos Bridge may have to be constructed before the proposed bridge so that it could serve as access road during the bridge construction. This will eliminate the necessity of building temporary access roads at the eastern end of Marcos Bridge.

5.2.2 Safety Measures

During the design phase, the geologic and soil conditions in the area will be studied by a geologist/soil engineer. Soil drilling and sampling will be carried out to determine soil bearing capacities x, !so that the required bearing foundations for the road and bridge could be determined and designed properly. During I]tconstruction traffic personnel will be assigned to direct traffic to avoid accidents. The contractor will be required all the safety measures required in construction of this nature such as the posting of the necessary danger signs, the p wearing of helmets, etc. 5.2.3 Operation and Maintenance

A well designed and constructed road requires minimal maintenace. Breakdown of road pavements is usually traced to X problems on drainage. Flooding of the road usually erode the sub-base which eventually cause the failure of the pavement. To ensure longer life of the road pavements, flooding should be avoided. This could be ensured if waterways are kept clean. Garbage should not be allowed to enter canals and U culverts. The district engineer's office maintains a I- pool of skilled labor and equipment for ~--~; the repair and maintenance of the pavement and the road drainage on a regular basis. X. Annual appropriations for operation and maintenance is provided for in the DPWH budget.

5.3 Abandonment The structures are designed for a life of 25 years I. and the roadway for 20 years. Road pavements are expected to be repaired or replaced regularly. ft is not expected that the road and bridge will be abandoned in the future. Rather, it will perhaps be improved or widened or simply maintained.

tDEIS S CRit IPI? TFI O N OF I=XXI S T I N;G I- NV I it OD;M lEN T AJI C)ONI D IT I OND; S

6.1 Climate The country has four distinct types of climate. Metro Manila, where the project is located, is classified under Type 1. This type is characterized by two pronounced seasons. It is dry from November

4' to April and wet during the rest of the year. There are three meteorological stations in Metro Manila located at the Port of Manila, at the Science Garden in Quezon City, and at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in Pasay City. The Science Garden is nearest the site so that data from this station may be assumed to approximate that in the project site. The prevailing wind from October to February is from the Northeast while from March to April is from the southeast. This changes to southwest from June to September. The average wind speed is 2 meters per second and the average cloud cover is 5 octas.

6.2 Terrain F1' The road alignment crosses the Marikina Fault Line. At this point, there is a sudden change of I..- elevation. After the fault line, the terrain is relatively flat up to Marcos Highway.

6.3 Hydrology The project area drains to the nearby. Marikina River. The drainage area of Marikina River consists of a network of stream channels with the major channels having perennial flows. Estimates based on rainfall data gathered from all monitoring stations within the watershed area showed the average I rainfall to be around 3100 mm. 6.4 Atmosphere Most areas of Metro Manila have very high levels of pollutants. For - example, the DENR monitoring station at Asian Development Bank Compound recorded

14 l , to

an average of 478 microgram/scm particulates on March 17, 1993. It is estimated that Metro Manila has around 790,000 motor vehicles which emits thousands of tons of sulfur dioxide, particulates, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides. However the conditions at the project site are expected to be better in terms of lesser levels of pollutants in as much as this is at present not accessible to traffic although there are nearby parallel roads.

6.5 Vegetation

The project area which is mainly at the banks of Marikina River is partly cultivated. Crops planted 'u|includes vegetables, turnips, and corn. The volume of produce however is marginal as these are not irrigated during the dry season while it is subject to flooding during the rainy season. (See Photograph 2 in Annex 4)

Jk- 6.6 Fish and Wildlife In as much as the area is generally inhabited, where are no wildlife present. The Marikina River which is just beside the proposed road, although heavily polluted still has some fish population mainly the hardy ones such as tilapia, catfish, rl1 mudfish, and gourami. However, people li.ving nearby say the fish catch during the dry season have some smell and taste like kerosene indicating that the river is heavily polluted with chemicals.

6.7 Land and Resource Use

; i - On one side of the proposed road is the Marikina River while at the other side are residential are&s. There are some factories nearby like Himmel Industries, Inc. which is at the .eastern bank of |'|the river and near the eastern end of Marcos Bridge. The banks of the river are cultivated and planted with crops like turnips, tomatoes, and sweet potatoes. (See Photographs 3 and 4 in Annex 4) | J 6.8 Socio-economic Aspects The areas surrounding the project site are highly urbanized. To the west are Barangays Blue Ridge A, [l]Blue Ridge B, and Industrial Valley. To the east is the Marikina River and Barangay Santolan. To the north is the Marcos Highway Barangay Barangka and § I to the south is Barangay Libis. Blue Ridge A, Blue 15

Ij Itl

*L<. Ridge B, and Libis which are in Quezon City have an I, |estimated population of 2,374, 2,004, and 10,252 respectively. Industrial valley which includes Cinco Hermanos Subdivision and sitio Olandes is II |part of Marikina and had a population of 13,252 in 1990. The area where the road passes is mainly on the Marikina River banks which is publ.ic lands and are mainly cultivated. Housing near.the road alignment is rather congested at the Quezon City portion of the project. Houses are mainly made of wood and concrete and with galvanized iron sheets i as roofing. Libis where the proposed road starts is one of the depressed areas of Quezon City. Around i!I Camp Atienza where the road cuts through, there are around 146 squatter families living in 38 structures. Blue Ridge A, and Blue Ridge B may be !I |considered as middle to upper middle class subdivision although there are also around 80 squatter families in Blue Ridge B as per survey (fia conducted by the city government. Sitio Olandes in Barangay Industrial Valley where the proposed road will cut through is one of the depressed areas of Marikina and .several squatter families are living there. There are no big commercial establishments in the immediate vicinity of the road alignment. The road alignment though will pass at the back of an industrial plant, Himmel Industries, Inc. located along Evangelista and J. P. Rizal Sts. The road will also pass at the back of the Industrial Valley Elementary School. At present, Industrial Valley is inaccessible by motor vehicles through Col. B Serrano A venue since this road stops at the gate of Camp Atienza. It is accessible though from Marcos Highway through Maj. Santos Dizon Street. There are no public jeeps and buses that ply this route so that residents without cars take the tricycles.

7.1 Climate There will be no activities or events in the area which will cause any significant changes in the climate in the area. 7.2 Terrain

Even without the road project, land development in the area will be quite extensive if the proposed Manggahan Riverwall project of the Department of Public Works and Highways and. the proposed Sitio 4 Olandes Phase II Sites and Services Project of the National Housing Authority (NHA) are pushed through. The M'anggahan Riverwall project calls for the construction of dikes along the Marikina River. The NHA project is a subdivision project in Sitio Olandes in Barangay Industrial Valley. 'Part of the proposed subdivision intersect with that of the alignment of the proposed road. 7.3 Hydrology/drainage --The area along the road alignment is likely to be settled with more and more squatters. This could cause some changes in the drainage characteristics in as much as dwellings constructed could block the natural flow of runoff waters. The frequency of flooding in the area may increase.... ': 7.4 Atmosphere -Although the foreseen changes in the project area without the project are mostly and likely limited to the influx of more people and that no commercial or industrial establishments are foreseen to be built, the air quality is expected to deteriorate. Nearby roads such as E. Rodriguez Avenue, Marcos Highway,- and Aurora Boulevard will have increasingly higher vehicular traffic and with no expected improvements in the air pollution emissions from vehicles, there will be higher

17 3 I II

levels of pollutants and some of these will F l'lcarried by the wind to the proposed project site, 7.5 Vegetation The present trend is for squatters to come to the project site and build their houses. This implies that most of the cultivated vegetation present in E i. the area will soon be gone. Because of higher pollutant concentrations, trees will grow slower. Their growth will be stunted.

~~~ ~~7. 6 Fish and Wildlife 7.6n At present there are no more wildlife in the area and this will remain to be so. Fish in the Marikina River will continue to be affected by pollution and there is a great chance that the existing fish d population will vanish because of anaerobic conditions setting in at the river. At present, the river during summer approaches anaerobic conditions. With the continued development in Marikina, the population will increase, and there will be more commercial and industrial establishments-. These will contribute additional pollution loads to the Marikina River and this will plteventuallykill all fish life in the river. Furthermore, because of increasing squatting along the Marikina River, garbage that get into the river will increase thus polluting the river further and t increasing the likelihood of fish kills. 7.7 -Land and Resource Use

The existing land uses in areas surrounding the I- proposed project site will remain as is although there is a possibility that Camp Atienza or Camp r Melchor Aquino will be transfered. If these will be transfered, the areas they occupy now may be transformed into a housing area or the government may put up other government buildings. The banks of the Marikina River where a great portion of the I.. road project will pass through will slowly be transformed from agricultural use to residential use. Squatters will continue to build their shanties along the river banks. 7.8 Socio-economic Aspects

Population growth at the adjoining areas of Blue Ridge A and Blue Ridge B will be very low as these subdivisions are already fully developed and 18

4 A

further subdivisions of lots is very unlikely, thus no new houses will be built. Population increase will be limited to the natural increase due to the difference of birth and death rates. Increase due to migration will be minimal.

- Libis which is one of the adjoining areas will remain a depressed area and where homeless urbanites will continue to squat. Likewise the iiwI banks of the Marikina River where the road is supposed to pass will attract more and more migrants/squatters mainly because these are public lands and the vicinity is industrial areas as well as commercial areas. These areas will further deteriorate as squatters will become dominant. Sanitary facilities will be very inadequate and [hi wastes are likely to be thrown into the Marikina 3 ^ ~~~~~River.

During construction, traffic may have to be rerouted. Also, the traffic flow along Marcos Highway and Major ;i. Santos Dizon Street will slow down. This result to greater travel time as well as congestion in the streets which in turn could result to greater incidence of traffic accidents. To avoid this, more traffic policemen or traffic aides will be detailed. The DPWH will request the DOTC to field more personnel. hi Also, during construction, dust generation will be very high in the project area which could affect those living in nearby subdivisions. The contractor will be required [|I' to implement dust control measures such as spraying the ground with water.

Yt Before the start of construction, the contractor together with the staff of DPWH assigned to the project will hold y a series of meetings to discuss possible environmental problems that may arise due to the construction of the project. They will plan out ways and means to avoid such problems or if it could not be avoided, to minimize the impact. Monitoring of air pollution in Metro Manila is being carried out by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. They have installed monitoring stations such as the one at the Asian Development Bank 'compound. They Ys are expected to install in the future other monitoring stations in busy streets. The project which is expected to carry large volunmeof traffic may be selected as one '(I of the sites for a new monitoring station. If in the near future, no stations will be put-up in the project site, the DPWH will regularly request the monitoring group of the DENR to take samples at the project site.

The negative impact on flooding will be mitigated by providing in the design the necessary road drainage and culvert crossings that will allow the run-off at Sitio Olandes, Barangay Industrial valley to drain to the river. The negative impacts due to air and noise pollution will be mitigated by planting trees along the road side. Trees will help absorb some of the pollutants and will also block noise coming from vehicles. I'. The problem of the squatters that will be displaced will be mitigated by providing them with a relocation site; and assist them in building new homes and in looking for new jobs. The DPWH will coordinate with the National Housing Authority to help find a suitable site and to help the relocated build their new homes.

Even after implementing the above mitigating measures, there will still be an increase in the level of noise and air pollutants relative to the present levels. 'People living near the road will experience noise as high as 60 to 65 dB even during the night as traffic could still be heavy during that time. Noise from motorcycles passing may be as high as 75 dB which could disturb sleep. Although the roads are paved, there will still be an increase in dust generation. Even with a cover of trees planted along the roadside, much of the dust will still reach the houses near the road.

29 I I Although at the time of the EIA study, a traffic study has been completed, the results should be validated further. The extent of the air and noise pollution will be very dependent on the volume of traffic. The estimates on t raff ic vo lumes will be refined as more informat ion are gathered. At present, there is a move to lower the lead content of gasoline and the sulfur content of diesel fuel. The extent of the reduction that will be achieved is not yet known. The reduction will have a great impact on the air ii pollution generated.

Submiltedby: JAPANOVERSEAS CONSUVLTANTS CO.,LT 0. inn~ss:ocialioriwullh i .- i:TCGIR _ t ,,-nq I ALIGNMENT STUDY § | '' Circumferential Road-5 Rflated Road

1.0 B'ackground

The Department of Public Works and Highw:ays: through .its Urban Road Project Office plans to construct a 'road link along the Marlkina. River to Katipunan Avenue (Loyola Heights) crosslng Marcos Highway and Bonifacio Avenue. The t ~~~newlink is aimed to:

ne 1)iprovide another access for motorlsts from Marikina and ^ ~~~~~RlzalProvlnce.

2) decongest Aurora Boulevard particularly the Aurora Boulevard - Katipunan Interse'ction; and

3) serve as complementary road to C-5, Quezon City r ;egment. 11 ' . Consi.dering the construction of Ci.rcumferential Road 5, Quezon City Segment is already on-going, the proposed link is expected to. receive public- comments. To meet this situation, an alignment- study was conducted to evaluate the viability of the proposed link. It is assumed -in the study that C,5 Road is completed.

2.0 Proposed Alignments

The original proposed link is from E Rodriluez Avenue to Katipunan Avenue tLoyola Heights) along the Marikina River Bank intersecting Marcos Highway. Thereon, it may traverses or runs parallel to Marcos Highway crossing Bonifacio Avenue and wll-' connect to C-5, Katipunan segment. . Since the proposed link appears to compose of two. segments, It was decided to evalute two road alignments (refer to Figures 1.0 and 2.0) namely:

1) Line A - a link from E Rodrique-z Avenue to Marcos Highway, and

Ii.) Line B - a link from E Rodriquez Avenue- .to Katipunan I- Avenue (Loyola Heights).

H.fowever, after a series of discussibn wlth ' URPO, it was learned that there Is a need for an additional bridge crossing Marikina River between Rosario. Bridge :a.nd Marcos Bridge, and that local offcilals in the area had previously suggested to extend B Serrano Avenue from E Rodriquez Avenue to Marcos Highway crossing.the Marikina River., For a better comparati-ve evaluation, a third alignment, Line C, (see Figure 3.0) was included in'the study. f ' . g . . .~~~~~~~~ |TI . 3.0 Schemes* .

For this study, the scheme to be adopted fo.r each alignment XI was simplified as follows: *a. * l). Line A will' -be a 4-lane road on an earth embankcment, 1.8 km. long and connected as .T or Y 50Intersection with Marcos Highway. (see Flgures 4.0 and

*' liI) Line B. wlll consist of a 4-lane. road. on an earth embankment - 1.7 km. long up to Marcos'.Highway, a 700 ., . , meters section of Marcos Highway widen by about 20 meters to the left and a 4-lane elevated second level structure over Bonifac'io Avenue to Katipunah Avenue. The connection on Katipunan Avenue can be an at-grade lntersectilon or an interchange (see Figures.6.0 to 9.0). Fl It may also be necessary to provlde a s,tructures to accommodate- left turning from and rlght turning to Marcos Highway. (refer to Flgure 2.0)

iii) Line C is a 4-lane road on an earth embankme.nt with approximately 200 meters long bridge acr6ss, Marikina River.

I '- 4.0 Traffic Impact on C-5 and Traffic Volume on Proposed New Link

X , ' . The study assumed that the proposed alignm,ents -. Line A, f1SLine B and Line C - will affect only the Quezon City Segment of C-5. Therefore assessment.of impact on Q-5 traffic flow was determind on the following, link only:

i -Ka-tip6nan Avenue (Loyola Heights.) , - . ~ r'Escopa.Link° Aurora Boulevard (bet Katipunan Avenue and Escopa Link) 0 Katipunan Avenue (bet Tuazon St and B Serrano Avenue.) 0 B Serrano Avenue [ 3°0 E Rodriquez Avenue,

Based on computerized traf-f4 ssignment analysis, Line A will reduce traffic, on, C-5, Guezon ,City Segrent' by an * average of 15.4 percent, Line B by 29.7 percent and Llne C by 11.8 percent. Table 1.0 present the traffic -volume on the link and their impact on 0-5.

I..

4~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * 5.0 indicative Construction Cost

Indlcative construction cost -for each' aliignment were estimated based on linear measures as shown In Ta.ble 2.0 and rounded-off as follows:

i ~~~~~~~~~~~Estlmated~ * Alignment Construction Cost

.Line. A - 121 million pesos Line B - 675 million pesos Line C - 222 mllllon pesos

6.0 Traffic Benefits and Economic Evaluation

Traffic benefits were calculated us.ing a traffic assignment II |models based on a highway link and node system representing. the roads and intersections of Metro Manila, and the t '~~projected 1992 Origin-Destination Matrices of car and .truck trips. The model assigns the volume of traffic on the link and quantify the network transportation cost. The benefits I£ 'are talen as the difference in transpart cost of the t ] : ~do-nothlngand with pnoject condltior. ,.

The 1992 traffic benefits were expanded to a 20 year period .assuming a growth-actor~ of 3.0 percent per annum. This yearly benefits and the construction cost shown.in Table 3.0 were.-used.in the economic-evaluation of thle 3' alignments. '.The result-indicates an IRR of 53.69, 90.19, and 56.52 percent for Lines A, B and C, respectively. I:. . g ~ ~~7.0 Road Right-of-Way . . Road raght-of-way of each allgnment will be as follows: LI Line A This allgnment will start at E Rodriquez Avenue. The first 500 meter will cut 2'Military .Camps - Camp Atienza and Camp Alejandro Melchor. The next 850 meter will be along water easement of 'the Marlklna River which is presently occupied by li squatters. At this point, two (2) connections to Marcos Highway Is presented'. Line Al is a Y-connection which will hit a corner of' the rubber factory building and " a' MERALCO transmission lines. Line A2 is' -a T-connection 4_ which will pass. through the rubber' -factory compound and will utilize a portion .pf Mayor Santos Dizon Street of Don Juan Subdivislon.

{ . f . . .~~~~~~~~~~ J~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~" 4. . . Line B The alignment will follows the same alingment as Line A up to Marcos -Hlghway. The first 1700 mee,lengthmeter ~ will~ traverseraere CapCamp Atin, tena Camp Alejandro Melchor and the squatters area.' The next 700 meters along the Marcos Highway will affect the 3 transmission lines of MERALCO, electric post and the squatters underneath. The proposed flyover will occupy a portion of private property along Marcos Highway' and. alon.g Xavierville Street If only a T-connection will 1i be designed. If an interchange similar to lTigure 7.0 willbe planned in the area, the entire triangular lot will have to be acquired which Is about 90 million pesos (15,000 sqm @ P6,000.00/sqm)

Line C - This alignment will take off at the, same point as Lines A and B. It will also affect a'' ortion of Camp Atienza for the first 500 meter length. After crossing the Marlklna River, .200 meter of the alignment will. pass throu,gh a residential squatter-like area. It will also cut -through the Maria Soledad Subdivision, and a factory-built area. The-last 200 meters can be located on a vacant land except for the connection,, to Marcos Highway where small estab'lishments will be 'affected.

8.0 Results and Evaluation

The results of the study-are summar~ized in Table '4.0 and discussed. as follows:

11-) Based -on traffIc volume,' It will be necessary to construct a 4-lane roads for each,of the 3 alignments

2) In terms of IRR, Line-B will be the best investment alternative followed by Line A and Line C

3) Line B will decongest C-5 better than Line A but Line C will attract more traffic from the east (Marikina/Rizal) a .:. ',.W j 4) Line A will require the least capital cost followed by Line C and Line B.

The evaluation of the allgnmerit was conducted adopting a I rankIng and weighted points system. The result is presented in Table 5.0.

1K ' ./ *, j. 9) Expected Problems To complement the decision on *wh'ich alignment will be designed, expected problems for each alignment were enumerated as follows: Line A: I ° ROW.acquisition at the start of the project o On the embankment portion, the alignment has to c'onsider the .drainage system on the Inland 'slde of the I . 'embankment, flooding condition, and settlement problems o Relocation of the squatters L 0° If Y-in'tersectlon will be planned at Marcos Highway, a | U ' corner of the factory will be acquired, one. MERALCO t'ransmission tower and some electric posts will be relocated, and the Marikina Bridge'may h.ave to be widen if-all movements will be permitted in the intersectlon. (refer to'Figure 1.0)C l° If' T-intersection will be con$idered at Marcos' Highway,' *ihE 2 to 3 buildings of the rubber factory and some properties on the left of Mayor Santos D.iz.on Street will be acquired. (refer to Figure 1.0) g .. Line B:

° ROW acquisition at the start of the project O The embankment portion of the alig'nment has to consider the drainage system on the inland . slde *of the- embankment, flooding condition and settlement problems o Relocation of squatters, electric posts and transmission | tower -p . O ROW acqulsition along the Marcos Highway and a corner of the factory . 0 '° ROW acquisition on Xavierville St will be about 30 ' milllon pesos for T-intersection and' will about 90 million pesos or more for an interchange o To allow all movement at the intersection with Marcos Tb. Highway, it may be necessary to widen the Marcos Bridge -i or construct a ramp-type structures- towards the bridge. (refer to Figure 2.0) L11 Line C:

LI * 0 ROW acquisition at the following: - start of the project - after' the bridge to Maria Soledad Subdivision. (A = 18,000 square mete'rs) - at the factory area (A - 6,000 square meters) - vacant lot to Marcos Highway (A = 6,000 square meters)

1-, I mt~7MAIZIXINA BRIDGE AND ACCESS ROAD PROJECT C-5 RELNTA ROAD

1.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The Departinent of Public Works and Highways intends to conztruct a road linking E Rodriguez Avenue to Xatipunan Avenue througl Marcos Highway. In August 1992, following instruction from the DPWH, Japan Overseas Consultant Co., Ltd. in association with TCGI Engineers conduicted an alignment study considering three [ competitive alignments identified as Line A, Line B and Line C. Based on the result of the study, the Consultant recominends the detailed engineering design of X- Line C which is now called the Marikina Bridge and Access Road Project, C-5 Related Road.

2.0 RECOMM1ENDEDAND SUGGESTE LOCATIONS FOR LINE C

Line C is a.xn extension of B Serrano Avenue from BE Rodriguez Avenue to Marcos Higlhway with a ,new bridge r across Marikiina River. The proposed road will affect mostly residential houses in Barangay Santolan. To m4nimize riglht-of-way- acquisition, two alternative blocations were proposed for Line C which were named Line Cl and Line C2 as presented in Figure 1. However, in the first p--ublichearing conducted on 12 October 1992, I- both alignments were opposed by the residents of tlhe area. Subsequently, rparticipants of the hearing suggested alternative routes identified as Line 1 to Line 4 in Figure 1. Suggested Line 2 and Line 4 were eliminated due to exp-ected road right-of-way acquisition problems; and * Line 3 was also not qualified because it will have a dead-end connect-on withl E Rodriguex Avenue. Tlhis,only Line 1 was included in the evaluation as shown in Table U. 1 . Its major constraints are: a) 'The connection with Marcos Highway'will be at the bridge approach; b) The intersection improvement will limit access of Evangelista Street' towards Marcos Highway; only right turn movements will be allowed, and

c) Marcos Bridge will have to be widen from 4 lanes to 6 lancs'

t I ,* rADL. V~,a4ea,t8rt 3.0 INTECERANGECONCEPT AT MARCOSBRIDGE

In addition, the Honorable Mayor of Marikina suggested a rotary-type interchange complex under Marcos Bridge instead of the different alignment dliscussed xubcve- , The interc;hange will have no ROW rcequisition because it will utilize the waater easement of the Marikina.river BEased on the co-ncept presented to the (>cjnsulta.nt, a Directional Rotary-type Interchange, Scheme A (Figure 2).)was initially prepared, followed byr three more interchanige s;chemes as: (Refer to Figures 3 - 5) Scheme B : Elevated E)irectional Left Turn Interchange Schetne ;C : Elevated Trrurip)et-Type Interchange Scheme D : Rotary and Left Turn Interchange Complex The featuares a-ad estimaated construction cost for each interchaJage scheme are presented in Table 2.

4.0 APPROVEDALIGNMENT AND S(EEME

After a series of coordination meetings wit h concerned agencies, the Department of Public Works and Highways approved the construction along the Marikina River Banks of a revised version of Interchange Scheme D This is now identified as Scheme E as shown in Figure 6. Its features are: a) Uninterrupted flow

b) Loo: road at east approach will be under the bridge .) Left turn provision at west approach will be over the bridge d) At Y-connection, Cubao bound vehicles will go under the new bridge. MARIK INA ORI LOGE. AND ACCESS ROAD PROJECT C - I ACLATEDROAD,

Ms Cordova discussed the result of the first public hearing on the proposed Line Cl1 Line C2, the suggested aliznment during that public hearing - Line 1 to Line 4 in Fiaure 1.0. and ,evolution of the interchange scheme from the suggestion of May-or Fernando to the finally approved interchange complex, Scheme A to Scheme E in Figures 2.0 to 6.0.

I'~~~~~~~~~ j 7. ODen Forum a) Mr Bautista. former Barangay Chairman of Barangay | Libis verified the width of the proposed road right- o f-wav.

b) Ms Cordova explained that the existing road right-of- wav of B Serrano Avenue is 20.0 meters, and the proposed road will be 22.0 meters for 4 lanes but can be reduced to 21.0 if necessarv. She also explained i that there will be widening at the approaches of intersection affecting residents on that area.

c) Mr Bautista inquired on how will the government pav - them if they were affected.

dl Ms Joson explained that the Government has an l appraisal committee who is responsible for the appraisal of land or building affected. and early payment depends on the completeness of the documents. e.) Mr Bautista asked the possibility of constructing a fly-over. f) o Ms Joson explained that fly-overs are usually not permitted at military installation for security 1 reason. o Ms Cordova explained that with a fly-over it is necessary to provide a service road similar to that of the EDSA./Ortigas Interchange. This will result in a greater right-of-way acquisition. o Mayor Fernando explained that with the improved road the valuation of land in the area will increase benefiting the land owner. I gl Resident of Barangay Libis raised the issue of lots that are not yet awarded or titled being part of military reservation.

h) Ms Joson answered that this will be negotiated with the Officers of the Camp.

J i) Ms Cordova informed the representativeof Meralco. Mr Jaime Tan that one of their transmission tower at the east approach of Marcos Bridge will be affected.

i) Mr Jaime Tan responded that they will ad.just if necessary- I a k) Ms Joson verified any ob.iectionto the final scheme. 1) Residents along Boni Serrano Avenue voiced out their I ob.iectionson the proposed road. I~~~~i...... I 0b _1_.

m) Ms Joson explained that the proposed road will pass 13 Boni Serrano Avenue which ever alignment is decided. However she exDlained that the Consultant will do their best to minimized the road right-of-way I acquisition even to the extent of narrowing the width of sidewalk. Also. during actual construction, the DPWH will still control road right-of-way acquisition.
