The Makati City government earlier said that the bike lanes along Ayala Avenue will become shared lanes starting Wednesday, February 15,However, about 250 cyclists, commuters, and even car-owners came together on Sunday to oppose the plan. “We agree that the safety of all road users should be given utmost importance. As such, we will enhance measures to further protect bikers. To give us ample time to implement these enhancements, the conversion of bike lanes will be deferred to March 6, 2023,” it added.
“We refuse to be divided and pitted against each other. We want just one thing: to arrive at our destinations and come home safe. We want to have safer streets where any person can feel safe to walk, bike, go on a wheelchair, commute, and even drive safely,” said the Move as One Coalition.
