Davao City eyes speed cameras
THE Davao City Traffic Management Center (TMC) is eyeing the
purchase of speed cameras to detect overspeeding vehicles in city streets and
highways.
This according to TMC head Desiderio Cloribel, who said the mobile camera, which automatically records the speed of vehicles, would roam Davao streets and highways to check on overspeeding vehicles, including public utility jeeps or PUJs which are mandated to follow a 30 kilometer per hour speed limit
However, Cloribel said such cameras are so expensive TMC may have to use manual cameras using or ordinary video cams which are cheaper. But he says there is a need for an ordinance in case the manual system is adopted to catch speed limit violators.
Cloribel said catching overspeeding vehicles without cameras is a difficult task because the pursuing vehicles nay have to resort to overspeeding to catch the violator.
Meanwhile, figures released by the TMC showed that 27,794 traffic violators have been apprehended by the Center which is made up of the elite Traffic Eagle Squad, Motorcycle units and field personnel while 23,838 driver’s licenses were confiscated, 1,395 license plates taken and 1,344 vehicles impounded.

6. Drainage Program
The City Engineer’s Office said it is studying options such
as the construction of floodgates and pumping stations to force out extra water
during heavy rains.
Allan Tibor of the city engineer’s office told media the city has 25 natural water outlets such as creeks, canals, rivulets and water ways. But most of these channels are already heavily silted driving floodwater back to the streets instead of flowing to Davao Gulf.
The city government has identified nine drainage projects that require nearly P58 million to cut the impact of the floods. Still, city urban planner Roberto P. Alabado III said the local government can only hope to mitigate the impacts of the floods through the drainage program and through stricter restrictions on the design of the buildings.

Vice Mayor
Rodrigo Duterte has warned the court and lawyers of land properties against
demolition of urban poor without relocation for the displaced families.
Unless you are inviting a bloodbath, you should go to the process before demolition, he said at the Ato ni Bay television program on SkyCable hosted by broadcast journalist Leo Villareal.
He said to avoid people being displaced, investors should add up funds on corporate social responsibility (CSR) on their investments to buy resettlement areas for the displaced.
Unless you are ready to go into a bloodbath, you should provide relocation, he said.
The no demolition without relocation is mandated by the Urban Development and Housing Act (UDHA) and the Davao City Comprehensive Shelter program authored by councilor Arnolfo Cabling.
Mayor Sara Duterte figured in a controversy last year after she punched a court sheriff supervising a court-ordered demolition of urban poor shanties in Agdao district. The act, widely played up in national and television news media, earned for her charges at the Ombudsman, interior department and the Supreme Court.

The vice mayor’s warning was in reiteration of the
his earlier statement that investors should share in helping resolve
dislocation of informal settlers who shall be evicted from land where their
businesses are to be located.
I am asking the investors to provide a budget in their investment plan for relocation of the informal settlers.
Many businesses here are put on hold due to illegal occupants on their proposed factory or plant site or subdivision projects.
Relocating the informal settlers–ordered evicted by the court—takes a heavy toll on local finances—even as the local government has resettlement areas for displaced urban poor.
Duterte said investors could assist the city government in confronting the problem of providing relocation sites for the illegal settlers by adding funds in their investment plan for the purpose.
Davao City has an active Urban Land Reform Program that provides relocation sites for displaced informal settlers who are resettled in new home sites on city-owned land at the outskirts of the city proper.
Duterte’s advice came as investors—mostly in property development and housing projects—gobble up lands for multi-million investments.
The projects suffer a bitch when the proposed project sites are occupied by informal settlers that needed to be relocated.
