Socio Economic Environment The project will not in anyway cause adverse effects on the socio-economic environment. It is expected, however, that impacts beneficialto the surrounding communitywill be created as a result of the major developmentson the transport infrastructuresystem. The proposed improvements such as road improvement/AC Overlay, traffic signal equipment, upgradingof sidewalks,street lightingequipment, waiting shed, fencing, road markings and traffic signs, among others along the roadside will bring efficiency in traffic and vehicle movements, reduction in travel time and pedestriansafety.
