THE Quezon City Council has recommended a week-long postponement for the Tandang Sora Flyover being planned for closure on Saturday, Feb. 23. Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) General Manager Jose Arturo S. Garcia, Jr. said in a text message that the agency is “still waiting for the resolution from QC,” before it is endorsed to the Department of Transportation (DoTr). A public hearing was held earlier on the planned demolition of the flyover and closure of the Katipunan intersection to give way to the construction of MRT-7. Quezon City Vice Mayor Ma. Josefina G. Belmonte, for her part, said the postponement will allow the local government to conduct an information drive on alternative routes. — Charmaine A. Tadalan
