Car-free Sundays temporarily suspended in Marikina

The local government of Marikina announced the suspension of car-free Sundays in the city starting May 3.

According to an advisory on Friday, the indefinite suspension was implemented to protect the public from any incident and inconvenience resulting from a drainage improvement project being conducted by the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) along Gil Fernando Avenue corner Aquilina Street.

“Upang masiguro ang kaligtasan ng publiko at maiwasan ang abala dulot ng kasalukuyang konstruksiyon, pansamantalang isususpinde ang Car-Free Sunday simula ngayong darating na Linggo,” the advisory read.

(To ensure the safety of the public and avoid any inconveniences due to the current construction, the Car-Free Sundays will be temporarily suspended starting this coming Sunday.)

Marikina’s local government advised the public to keep track of future advisories regarding the resumption of the car-free Sundays. —Jiselle Anne C. Casucian/LDF, GMA News
