BAGUIO CITY – Mayor Mauricio Domogan wants to weight things first before the concept of pedestrianizing Session Road can be done but added it is feasible.

Domogan was reacting to queries from the Local media Wednesday during the weekly Ugnayan presser on the possibility of continuing with the concept of pedestrianization as what transpired during the January 27 temporary closure of a portion of Session Road to pave the way for the conduct of the project 'Recreating People Friendly Session Road' spearheaded by a Multi-sectoral group of Architect Joseph Alabanza, Dir. Purificacion Molintas, Fr. Lorenzo Abela, Jr. and other stakeholders.

A resolution to this effect was filed by Councilor Nicasio Palaganas requesting for the partial pedestrianization of Session Road citing the campaign being waged by the group of concerned city residents to pedestrianize the whole stretch of the city's premiere road.

Domogan said before the concept can be permanently set and considered, important matters should first be addressed.

"We should identify other alternate routes which can be used for vehicular traffic once the idea is implemented", he stressed.

Domogan also stressed the need to insure that businessmen, people working and the public won't be affected once the concept of a car-free Session Road is realized.

'It would be good if it will be pedestrianized but we need to address the issues first', he said.

The mayor said Session Road can be freed of cars once in a while so residents and visitors can also enjoy promenading around, not to mention improving the air quality in the area.

This concept is being implemented during the 'Session Road in Bloom' where Session Road is entirely closed to vehicular traffic to give citizens the chance to freely walk and enjoy the different activities lined-up for the event while giving businessmen the chance to promote their goods.
