NU Idea no. 11 by Cristina Krastle Valderas - elevator at the Ayala underpass
Hi Sir,
NU Idea
Elevetor in Ayala Avenue, Underpass
I can say Ayala Avenue in Makati is very strict when it comes to its loading and unloading area and people can only cross the street using the underpass located in every intersection and blocks.
This policy is good as it can lessen the traffic in the area as it is a business district. But this is not friendly for is those who are disabled. While I was waiting in the loading area to go home from the office, I noticed a man who is having a difficulty to walk approached the traffic enforcer. He needs to go the other side of the road and cannot use the underpass because of his injury. He asked the enforcer about the pedestrian lane which only opens at 7pm. He needs to wait for 7pm just to cross the street and be able to go home.
It will be much helpful if Ayala Administration can have a small elevator located in all underpasses to address the needs of the disabled and elderly. Just like what we have in all MRT stations. It will be expensive but as we all know, not all people going and working to Ayala have their own car or can afford to ride a taxi all the time. 4
Thank you.
