THE Department of Transportation proposed on Thursday the reduction of the minimum depth for subterranean right of way from 50 meters to 15 meters, a change aimed at allowing the construction of more underground infrastructure while enhancing safety.
Singapore has set its subterranean ROW at 30 meters, while Helsinki and Montreal have implemented 6-meter and 10-meter standards, respectively. The validity of funds under a cash-based budget system and the reliance on the issuance of a Special Allotment Release Order complicate the process further, she said.
“With a standardized value, we could significantly lower costs and shorten timelines,” she said, though she noted that the law’s implementation is still pending the issuance of its implementing rules and regulations .“But the updating of the values itself will take about two years as provided under the law,” Lapuz explained.
