December 1999 Public Disclosure Authorized ------OVERVIEW
On May 1997, the Metro Manila Urban Transport Integration Project (MMURTRIP)was initiated by the Governmentthrough the Departmentof Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and in coordination with the Department of Transportationand Communication(DOTC) and the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) to improve transport facilities in selected areas of Metro Manila. The project is expectedto be implementedthrough World Bank funding support.
MMURTRIP is now on the process of preparing the necessary documents needed based on World Bank and DENR guidelines prior to implementationof the traffic managementscheme.
This report presents the Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) of the MMURTRIP undertaken by the Environmental Impact Assessment Project (EIAPO), DPWH to secure the EnvironmentalCompliance Certificate (ECC) or Certificateof Non-Coverage(CNC) prior to projectimplementation.

Summary of Costs and Project Financing and the ImplementationSchedule is presented in the Annexes.
The project will involve pavementrehabilitation through drainage and sidewalk improvementswith traffic managementmeasures, improvement of intersections (new traffic signals, marking for pedestrian crossing and minor widening), and road improvement(re-surfacing). Pedestrianbarriers on medianand on sidewalk and new signalizedpedestrian crossing will also be provided.
The objective of the project is to address the deteriorationof urban transport situation in Metro Manila by improving integration and management of the transport system. The focus is on actions within selected areas which would enhance the use of public transport, improvethe effectivenessof the committed mega-projectsand offer road access. INTRODUCTION
The Public and Privatetransport systemof Metro Manila and its environswhich makes use of the existing road systemconsist mostly of tricycles,jeepneys, cars, buses and trucks. With the continually rising number of the vehicles it may result to heavytraffic flows along and particularlyin certain corridorsalong Metro Manila. An example of this is the heavy concentrationof cars and buses along EDSA.
The conceptual road networkof Metro Manila comprises 10 radial roads and 5 circumferencial roads. However, the existing road network has become inadequateto meet the transport demandsof the expanding metropolisdue to partially developedprimary road system, lack of a well planned and developed secondary arterial and distributorroads, uncoordinatedand inaccessibleprivate roads and inadequatedrainage structures and road appurtenances.
At present, the urbanstructure of MetroManila is characterizedas follows: a. The main transport network, includingthe radial and circumferentialroads, emanates from the traditional Central BusinessDistrict (CND) in the City of Manila. Some of these routes are still incomplete. C4 (EDSA) is the main ring road throughwhich traffic betweenthe northand south Luzonpasses. b. Sub-CBDs are found along C-4 at Baclaran, Makati, Ortigas-Shaw,Cubao and Monumento. Of these, makatiand Ortigas-Shaware the most important. c. Large-scale commercialfacilities (e.g. shopping centers, supermarketsand recreationalfacilities) are concentratedin strategic locations, such as, along Aurora Blvd. (SM Centerpoint),Ortigas Ave. (GreenhillsShopping Center), at the junction of EDSA and North Avenue (SM City), EDSA-JP Rizal (Guadalupe CommercialComplex), Commonwealth Avenue (Ever-Gotesco), Zapote-AlabangRoad (SM South mall), RegaladoAve.-Quirino Highway (SM Fairview) and along Rl Expressway(Uniwide Coastal Mall). d. Industrial developments are mainly located aroundthe port area, along or in the vicinity of the Pasig and Marikina Rivers and along major roads such as C5, South Superhighway,Quirino Highway(R8), Mc Arthur Highway(R9) and the North DiversionRoad.
Likewise, there are lots of future major developmentsthat will have significant impacts on the urban structureof the metropolitan.
Cognizant of the problems posed by these developments on the road network, the Government has initiated to construct high impact projects both using public and private sector funds. Among the projects presently being implemented include the Metro Manila Skyway, Maniloa-CaviteToll Expressway, the MRT Lines 3 and 2, EDSA-Ayala/PasayRoad Interchangeand the Kalayaan-Buendia viaduct. However, the simultaneousconstruction of these projects have resulted in traffic congestion not only along routes traversedby these projects but also along the routesof the projectarea.
Observationsmade on the existing environmentalconcerns in the project area includes:
1. Indiscriminatebus/FX loading and unloadingpractices 2. Waiting passengersoverflow on streets 3. Frontage parking operations interfering crossing facilities, bus stops and passengerwaiting facilities. 4. Poor interface between pedestrian crossing facilities, bus stops and passengerwaiting facilities. 5. Inadequate crossing facilities and poor sidewalks especially in areas with heavy pedestriantraffic. Sidewalksare occupied by vendors right up to the curb. People walk on carriagewaysand crosseverywhere. 6. Poor and inadequatelighting 7. Indiscriminatepedestrian crossing practices 8. Some of the existingsignalized intersection is now closed. The conceptualroad networkof Metro Manila comprisesof 10 radial roads and 5 circumferencial roads. However, the existing road network has become inadequateto meet the travel demandsof the expandingmetropolis due partially developed primary road system, lack of a well planned and developed secondary arterial and distributorroads, uncoordinatedand inaccessibleprivate roads and inaccessible I Secondary roads program is one of the project component for Metro Manila Urban Road Transport Integration Project (MMURTRIP). The objective of MMURTRIP is to address the deteriorating urban transport situation in Metro Manila by improving integration and management of the transport system. The focus is on actions within selected areas which would enhance the use of public transport, improve the effectiveness of the mega-projects and offer strategic road access particularly outside EDSA.
Aurora Boulevard, Pasong Tamo, Quezon Boulevard and D. Romualdez which are classified under secondary roads play an important feeder and distribution function for both private and public transport vehicles.
Measures to Minimize Negative Impacts
Although the adverse impacts are short term in nature the following are planned actions or countermeasures for adverse impacts:
Pre - Construction
As soon as the contract for the project has been approved and the notice to proceed is released, management should brief the workers on their respective job assignments, proper use, care and maintenance of equipment and pertinent rules and regulations of the DPWH, DOH, DOLE, DENR in order to ensure the health and safety of laborers and the settlers to minimize damage of the environment.
Environmental Issues
Dust/Air Pollution
Earth borrowing sites, waste disposal sites, and asphalt mixing sites should be identified on this stage to concern with the enviromnental issues.
Water Pollution
Sewage disposal facilities should be considered to treat the sewage before entering into public water source. Noise
Sound barriers should be incorporated.
Population/Socio-Economic
Coordination with concerned offices and agencies for proper settlement and compensation for the displacement/dislocation of sidewalk vendors. A Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) is being undertaken by Consultants to address such problem.
Prior to implementation, Project Affected Persons (PAPs) should be properly compensated or relocated to avoid problems during implementation.
Impact during Construction Phase
1 Dust/Air Pollution - During implementation, the extent of air pollution is minimal and temporary.
Mitigation measures: - dust discharge associated with cement storing and handling at the site will be eliminated through the use of ready mixed concrete - vehicles delivering materials should be covered to reduce spills - limit dust with a sprinkler system
2. Noise Pollution - During work execution, noise impacts can be limited by: - using equipment with less noise generation - installing temporary barriers or screens - workingduring regular business hours - maintenance of machinery and vehicles should be enhanced to keep their noise at a minimum.
3. Soil Erosion/Water Pollution
Mitigation Measures: - in building permanent drainage system, temporary canals and culverts will be built for the sake of irrigating drainage - all necessary measures will be taken to prevent earthworks and stone works from impeding the existing drainage system - all justifiable measures will be taken to prevent the waste water produced in construction from entering the system
4. Construction Camp - Sufficient measures will be taken in the construction camps, i.e. provision of garbage tanks and sanitation facilities. Waste in septic tanks will be cleared periodically. Special attention shall be paid to the sanitary condition of cammps.
5. Traffic Management - Installation of warning signs and detour to ensure continuous flow of traffic and minimize traffic disturbance.
6. PopulationlSocio-eonomic issues - Although the construction activities are not expected to significantly affect the people, the DPWH and Contractor shall quickly address any related issues or problems with the help of the concerned LGUs. The EIAPO and the RAP Team shall actively participate in the resolution of issues/problems.
Mitigative measures on this issue during construction includes: - maintain access during work execution - enclose the work site with fencing for safety - plan specific iteneraries for site machinery traffic - define traffic rules encouraging contractors to respect highway regulations
7. Employment - Hiring of local worklers during construction will enhance beneficial impact on local labor employment.
8. Potential environrnental effects on public health and safety of workers and the public; strict compliance of industrial- health hazards laws and regulations; provision of workers camp, water supply and waste management for workers.
Operation and Maintenance Phase
The proponent shall accept the project from the contractor after final inspection of the completed project and all the environmental requirements have been satisfied. The proponent shall then tum-over the project to the concerned LGU who will be responsible for the operation and routine periodic maintenance of the facilities.
Maintenance of Drainage System
- Part of the regular maintenance should include the clearing and cleaning of drainage structures. Not only will this prevent minor or major flooding of the road, but also will allow water to drain into the main water courses.
Vehicle Management
- Public will be educated about the regulations on air pollution and noise of vehicles.
Contingency Plans
There are no major environmental hazards expected to arise during implementation and after the project completion.
Abandonment Phase
Abandonment of the project site after the turn over shall take the form of simple withdrawal of the equipment and the labor force from the area. The site will be restored to natural and stable condition. Building materials for work camps and other materials remaining after the completion of the project shall be turned over to URPO and BOT under the DPWH.

Because of its function as a major urban radial route - this road project is designatedas radial road R6 in the Metro Manila road hierarchy.
Along its inner sectionthe route passesthrough old, but very busy commercial areas, where physical conditions are far from good. The area around C.M. Recto and Legarda is also occupied by many schools and colleges that generate large movementsof students at certaintimes of day, added to which the roadway in Legardais fairly narrow.
BetweenA.H. Lacson and the San Juan River, the route is wider, with buildings generally set back in a more planned design. Here commercialactivity is not so intense, but there are still many schoolsand some governmentbuildings. At the corner with G. Araneta Avenue (C3) lies SM Centre Point - one of the large retail complexesoperated by Shoe Mart.
Beyond the San Juan River, as far as Cubao, the route passes through a largely residential area with some small businessesas well as more schools and colleges. In many places the roadway here is much narrower-barelytwo lanes in each direction, sidewalks are poor or non-existentand buildings are located quite close to the roadway.
Being one of the major urban sub-centres in Metro manila, the area round Cubao is commerciallyvery active, with much pedestrianand roadside activity. Cubao is also a major public transport hub, with 32 jeepney routes and 45 bus routes currently terminatingthere, and others passingthrough. BeyondCubao, the route continues to pass through a highly commercializedpart of Aurora Blvd. before coming to an area near Katipunanthat is fronted by schools and office developments. Throughout this section, sidewalks are often in poor condition and informal activities (such as the construction and repair of jeepneys) often spill over onto the roadway.
The final section to Santolan passes through a cutting in the MarikinaValley escarpment. The RROWare generallywider here, and frontage activity is less obvious.
With the implementation of the project, no properties will be affected consideringthat the proposedcomponent of the project is only improvementof the existing traffic facilities. Section V. ProjectActivities
The Proposed actions in this corridor are concentrated on improving the general flow of traffic, improvingpassenger handling capabilitiesin the vicinity of the proposed LRT stations and providing better facilities for integration between road and rail based transport modes. To achieve this, corridor management measures are proposed, including (but not limited to) the following:
- a coordinatedtraffic signal systemalong the corridor;
- physical and managementactions (such as frontage control through sidewalk improvementsand limitation of parking, loading/unloadingand other roadside activities)to ensure maximumoperating efficiency and pedestriansafety;
- similar actions along side roads leading to major intersections,especially where public transport routes are involved or where such actions are required to ensure maximumefficiency of traffic signal equipment;
- closure of selected side roads to separate/rationalisepedestrian and vehicular movementsin the vicinity of proposedLRT stations or other transport interchangepoints.
For sidewalks,the objectiveis to bring them up to uniformstandards, wherever possible, with a view to reducing side friction effects to a minimum and providing a safe and convenientfacility for the passageof pedestrians.
Special considerationwill be required in the vicinity of proposedLRT stations. Special considerationwill also be required in locationswhere there are arcaded sidewalks (which are usually regarded as public right-of-way within private property). Section VI. EnvironmentalManagement Plan
Although the adverse impact are minimal and short term in nature considering that the proposedproject involves only traffic managementwherein emphasis is on the improvementand better managementof existingfacilities improvements of intersection, road pavements, sidewalks an Environmental Management Plan is presented in this IEE.

8 Section IV - EnvironmentalAssessment
EDSA is designatedas a bus corridorby DOTC and it is the most heavily traffickedbus corridorin the Metropolis,with bus flows in the core sectionof the route exceeding6,500 per 14-hourday in each directionand averagingabout 600 buses in each directionduring peak hours. The structureof servicesis such that most bus routes in Metro Manilaconverge on EDSA. It is a wide road-generallywith 5 lanes in each direction-andis grade-separatedat most locationswhere it crossesmajor radial routes.
From Roxas Boulevardto the South Superhighway(SSH), at Magallanes, EDSA passes through an area of older commercialdevelopment backed by dense residentialareas. Here commercialactivity spills onto the street and there is also much publictransport passenger activity, especially in the vicinity of the LRTLine 1 EDSAstation.
Beyondthe SSH,as far as Buendia(Gil Puyat)Avenue, the route is flankedby the walls of prosperoussubdivisions, which result in minimalfrontage access. Only in the vicinity of the Ayala Centre-infront of the Shoe Mart department store- do such effectsmake themselvesfelt. Along this sectionthe three at- grade intersections(with Pasay road, Ayala Ave. and BuendiaAve.) present major obstacles to movementof both traffic and pedestrians,and regularly generatelong trafficdelays.
The section of EDSA between Buendia Avenue and the Pasig River, at GuadalupeBridge, continues to be flankedby sub-divisionwalls on the western side, while the eastern side is lined for the most part by low-intensity commercialactivity, backed by denselow-rise residential development. At the northern end, however, the commercial activity intensifies around the Guadalupemarket, as does publictransport passenger activity. This regularly results in the congestionfor throughtraffic, which is madeworse when queues from the two intersectionson J.P. Rizal Street extend back onto the main carriageway.
Betweenthe Pasig River and OrtigasAve., EDSA passesclose to the major new urbansub-centre of Ortigas. As its southernend, this part of the route is lined with relativelylow intensitycommercial development, but this intensifies around Shaw BLVD. Where there are several large commercialand retail complexes,including the SM MegaMall. On the easternside of EDSA,and to the south of ShawBoulevard. Lies the EDSACentral bus and jeepneyterminal, which together with other smaller terminalsin the area generatessignificant public transport passenger movements. The intersections with Shaw Boulevardand Ortigas Avenue are both grade-separated,the former being grade-separatedin both directionsand the latter havingflyovers for left-turning vehicles,as well as along EDSAitself.
The sectionof EDSAbeyond Ortigas Avenue, as far as Santolanroad, passes betweenhigh-income sub-divisions and two militarycamps. There is therefore
9 little frontageactivity, and even wherethis does exist it poses little problemto passingtraffic.
Beyond this, the corridor changes character again, with a series of underpassesand flyovers and inter-linkedservice roads taking traffic through the busy Cubao area. Here frontage activity is at its highest and roadside conditionsare at their worst-althoughthe presenceof service roads protects throughtraffic from muchof the resultingdisruption.
From East Avenue to North Avenue, EDSA is fronted by governmentoffice complexesand low-intensitycommercial developments, which have little impact on traffic flow. Work is in handto grade-separatethe two major intersectionsin the area (at QuezonAvenue and NorthAvenue), thus reducingthe delaysthat are currentlyexperienced at those locations.
The implementationof the projectshowed that no propertieswill be affected and no person will be displaced considering that the proposed project componentis only measuresfor improvingtransport facilities.
SectionV: ProjectActivities
The primaryobjective of the proposedbus managementmeasures relates to bus stopping arrangementsthat would be neededto adjust the position of some existingbus stops (particularlytaking into accounttheir inter-relationship with LRT stationaccess points)and to reconsiderthe stoppingpattern of bus services (effectivelyamending the existingbus stop segregationscheme). A more permanentsystem of barriersand segregationwill needto be considered and bus stopswill need to be moreclearly marked.
The LRT Line 3 is underconstruction and is expectedto be in operationby the end of 1999, and there are ongoingtraffic signal upgradingand re-paving contracts.
10 Section VI: EnvironmentalManagement Plan
Although the adverse impact are minimal and short term in nature considering that the proposed project involves only traffic managementwherein emphasis is on the improvement and better managementof existing facilities, improvements of intersection, road pavements, sidewalks an Environmental Management Plan is presented in this IEE. The following are the planned actions or countermeasureson the adverse environmentalimpacts:

This sectionof MarcosHighway passes in front of the SantolanLRT2 terminal (station and depot)site,through three closely-spacedsignalized intersections, in front of the Sta. Lucia East shoppingmall, and on towardsthe Sumulong Highway,at Masinag. The intentionhere is to establishan at-gradetraffic managementscheme which, together with prioritymeasures for publictransport vehicles,will act as an efficientconduit for traffic travellingto and from Metro Manila. It will also assist publictransport vehicles to accessthe LRT terminal, thus providinggreater integrationbetween road-based and rail-basedpublic transportservices.
It is intended that the roadway be widened to 4 lanes in each direction throughout,with additionallanes as requiredat intersectionapproaches. The Road cross-sectionto be developedwould allow for sidewalksand covered drains, together with a sufficiently wide median to accommodatefuture extensionof the LRT as far as Masinag. Allowancewould also be made for future grade-separation,should this becomenecessary (and justifiable). This cross- sectionis wider than is strictlyrequired for existingtraffic flows, but the philosophy is to define a carriagewayedge treatment (kerbing, sidewalks, drainage,etc.) that does not haveto be adjustedlater - rather than an interim cross-sectionthat will need further widening. The additionalwidth would be taken up by a wider median,or could be usedto facilitatethe introductionof publictransport priority lanes.
A pedestrianbridge and associatedjeepney bays are likely to be requiredat the SantolanLRT terminal. This is especiallyimportant on the northernside of Marcos Highway,where passengerswill alightfrom passingjeepneys to enter the station(passengers on jeepneysthat are turningvia the Marikinaloop road will also probablywish to alightat this top.)
On the southernside of Marcos Highway, public transportvehicles could be accomodatedin the plannedmulti-mode terminal, rather than on the highway. However,this will only be achievedin practiceby makingaccess to the terminal very convenientfor passingvehicles. The exactaccess arrangements are still being determined by the private sector developers of the site - but the requirementshould nevertheless be noted,and steps taken to ensurethat an appropriatedesign is followed.
The Rosario area immediatelyto the east of the bridge is also an important transport interchangebetween east-west bus and jeepney routes on Ortigas Avenueand north-southjeepney routeson A. Rodriguezand Dr. Sixto Antonio Avenues. Here, interchangeand boardingand alightingactivities usually take place on the street, contributingwith other frontage activities,to a significant loss of traffic capacity. (Whenthis occurs, the roadwayis reducedto only 2 lanes in each directioninstead of the normal3 lanes).
As to environmentalconsideration, the first 150 metersof the route are linedby MasinagMarket and a,series of small-scalecommercial developments. Further east, for a distance of about 2 kms, the main frontage land use consists of residential sub-divisions,and for the final 300 m, the ROW between two sectionsof the Heaven'sGate MemorialPark. In addition,as the road rises into the hills, the ridge of land on which the existing ROW is situated is relativelynarrow.
With the implementation of the proposed improvements, assessments revealedthat no structuresand personswill be affected.
SectionV: ProjectActivities
The proposed scheme involves establishinga uniform cross-sectionwith urbanizedcharacteristics (kerbs, sidewalks,covered drainage and regulated stoppingplaces for publictransport vehicles). The roadwaywould be widened to 4 lanes in each directionthroughout, with additionallanes at intersection approaches, and the central median would be sufficiently widened to accomodatethe structures of the future extension of the LRT as far as Masinag. Allowancewould also be made for grade separationof the major intersectionsshould this becomenecessary (and justifiable) in the future.
The overall intentionis to establishan at-gradetraffic managementscheme which, togetherwith prioritymeasures for public transportvehicles, will act as an efficient conduitfor traffic travellingto and from Metro Manila. It will also assist public transportvehicles to access the LRT Terminal,thus providing greaterintegration between road-based public transport services.
Special intentionwill be required to the area adjacentto the LRT terminal, where a pedestrian bridge and associatedjeepney bays are likely to be required. Adequatepedestrian crossing facilities will also be requiredin other locations,both at and betweenintersections to ensurethat convenientaccess to public transportstopping places is possiblein bothdirections.
In order to ensure a smooth flow of traffic, it is anticipatedthat traffic signal timingsalong the corridorwill be coordinated.Rationalization and prohibitionof some turningmovements at majorintersections may also be requiredto ensure optimumsystem performance.

After the Floodway,where the bridgeis 3 laneswide in each direction,Ortigas Avenuecontinues as a 4-lane road with a narrowmedian. The frontageland use here is a mixtureof commercialand medium/heavymanufacturing industry, althoughthis is backedby sub-divisionsthat usuallyhave direct accessto the arterialroad.
Around Cainta Junction (the major intersectionbetween Ortigas Avenue Extensionand ImeldaAvenue), the frontagetype becomesmore commercial, but beyond that (as far as Tikling) it reverts to the same mixture of medium/heavy industry, small-scale commercial developments and subdivisions.
The locationof new signalizedintersections, as elsewhere,has been chosento strengthenthe definitionof the secondaryroad network. Thus, it has not been possible (nor is it sensible)to signalize each sub-divisionexit. There will however,be sub-divisionaccess roads that generatesignificant traffic onto the corridor. One solutionwould be to locate at-gradepedestrian crossings - co- ordinatedwith the main traffic signals- upstreamof the affectedentrances, in orderto providenatural breaks in the trafficflow.
Bus and jeepney bays already exist along the Ortigas Avenue Extension. These are not well used, due to their generally inadequatedesign, poor conditionand the undisciplinedbehaviour of drivers. The projectproposes that these be retained, where they are sensibly located, and their condition upgraded. Associatedpedestrian crossings will be requiredto ensurethat they are accessibleto passengerstravelling in bothdirections.
SectionV: ProjectActivities
The proposedworks to be done involvesthe improvementof intersections(new traffic signals,markings for pedestriancrossing and minorwidening), sidewalk improvement,and road improvements(re-surfacing). Pedestrianbarriers on median and on sidewalkwill also be provided. A new signalizedpedestrian crossingwill be providedat Ever GotescoCommercial Complex.

8 Section IV - ENVIRONMENTALASSESSMENT
The frontage land use is predominantly commercial but also contains many schools and colleges. There are sixteen jeepney routes and six bus routes (1 intra-city and 5 provincial) in this section of the road. The pavement and sidewalks are generally fair to good condition. Asphalt overlay is proposed between C.M Recto and R. Magsaysay, and four existing traffic signal intersections need upgrading. Part of the route is included in the LRT Line 2 Corridor, where improvements of other aspects of the right-of-way are proposed.
Section V: Project Activities
The proposed works to be done involves the improvement of sidewalks and upgrading of traffic signals. The objective is to provide comprehensive corridor treatment similar to that recommended elsewhere, with a view of ensuring efficient traffic flow, convenient public transport operations and safe pedestrian environment.

Aurora Boulevard runs between Rizal Avenue Extension and Dimasalang. Currentlythe carriagewaywidth of the existing road is 6 lanes wide but is effectivelyreduced to 4 lanes by the presenceof on-streetparking associated with the residencesthat line alongthe road.
Southof Blumentritt,the traffic flow includesmore than 6,000 jeepneys per day, although there are fewer jeepneys further north. Over this section, the southboundcarriageway forms part of a 1-waysystem, with Dimasalangand Blumentrittstreets providingthe northboundpart. The southboundsection is congested,since it is used as an informaljeepney terminalas well as being encroachedupon by squattersand sidewalkvendors. At present,it is also part of the easterntruck route(westbound direction).
The main proposalsunder this componentcover resurfacingfrom Blumentrittto Dimasalang,removal of on-street parking and clearing of sidewalks from Blumentrittto Dimasalngtowards A. Macedaand intersectionimprovement.
Assessmentmade on the project area revealedthat dominant land use is residentialwith few small commercialstores. The sidewalk is occupied by squattersand stalls. Thereare trees plantedon the sidewalks.
In view thereof, the implementationof the projectwill not affect the existing structures,however, it will result in the displacementof vendorsoccupying the existingsidewalks.
