Davao City implements a car-free day on its coastal road to promote active transportation, reduce pollution, and improve public health. The initiative aligns with the city's efforts to create a more sustainable and livable urban environment.
THE 20th Davao City Council has approved an ordinance to close the coastal road every Sunday for a Car-Free Day .Proposed by Councilor Conrado Baluran, chair of the Committee on Transportation and Communications, the ordinance will close the coastal road from Crossing Bago Aplaya to Crossing Tulip Drive every Sunday from 4 a.m. to 8 a.m., starting November 30. The closure is part of the proposed Physical Fitness Program by the Davao City Sports Development Division .
Information campaigns will be conducted to keep the public informed about the road closure and the program.Earlier this year, Davao City-based environmental group Interfacing Development Interventions for Sustainability advocated for a “Car-Free Ordinance.” EnP Lemuel Manalo, the program coordinator at Idis, said on July 8, 2024, that the initiative aims to promote recreational activities like jogging, cycling, and pet walking on weekends.
