City officials recently requested the Department of Public Works and Highways–Cordillera Administrative Region (DPWH-CAR) to provide and submit to the local legislative body a parcellary plan showing the road development in relation to the lot boundary and existing fence of Milton Hotel and the existing stalls within the road-right-of-way and to indicate the portion of the Baguio General Hospital and Medical Center (BGHMC) reservation that was segregated and indicated to be part of the road-right-of-way for Kennon Road.
Under Resolution No. 242, series of 2024, local legislators stated that the Committee on Public works in its 2nd indorsement dated April 5, 2024 recommended that the DPWH-CAR provide and submit to the body a parcellary plan showing the road development in relation to the lot boundary and existing fence of Milton hotel and the existing stalls within the road-right-of-way of Kennon Road.
Further, the council also sought that the agency indicate the portion of the BGHMC reservation that was segregated and indicated to be part of the road-right-of-way of Kennon road.
The body also requested the DPWH-CAR to oblige the contractor to immediately restore the walkway shed which was removed from the shoulder of the road as discussed and moved. The said walkway shed fronting the Milton hotel was reportedly removed from the shoulder during the implementation of the agency’s road widening project along Kennon Road.
Earlier, the council considered various matters, issues and suggestions raised by local legislators and some resource persons during the February 26, 2024 regular session relative to the oral motion of Councilor Arthur L. Alad-iw inviting the DPWH-CAR, City Engineering Office (CEO), the punong barangays of Poliwes and San Vicente, manager of Milton Hotel and stall owners to be resource persons in aid of legislation to shed light on matters in relation to the ongoing road works along Kennon Road.
Consequently, the council adopted Resolution No. 131, series of 2024 that requested the DPWH-BCDEO and A.P.B. Construction to restore the walkway shed fronting the Milton hotel which was dismantled during the implementation of the agency’s road widening project along Kennon Road.
Copies of the approved resolution will be transmitted to the DPWH-CAR for the agency’s information, guidance, ready reference and further needed action. By Dexter A. See
