Note: This article comes after DPWH expanded sidewalks along a section of EDSA to accommodate both pedestrians and cyclists - a welcome development.

The bold next step for EDSA is a moment of leadership. The long-term efficiency of a corridor depends on how many people it moves. More space for walking, cycling, and public transport helps the entire corridor work better for everyone. Read: bworldonline.com/opinion/2026/0…

@soyuzniken It was one of the recommendations of @AltMobilityPH’s multi-sectoral Philippine Mobility Summit - but for better coordination over trimming bureaucracy. If I’m not mistaken, this is also how transport agencies like @TfL are structured.

A bold next step for EDSA: Recos following our unity walk with DOTr and DPWH - EDSA’s rehab must go beyond re-asphalting; reallocate road space equitably
- Expanding sidewalks and bike lanes is a practical next step - Moving people, not cars, should guide transport decisions

The EDSA Busway remains one of the most effective transport interventions in Metro Manila, reliably serving close to 200,000 commuters daily.  Letting private cars use the exclusive bus lane would weaken the public transport system and reduce the benefits for the commuters

Gender as a dimension in transport planning: “(Engineers) they don’t think about the waiting part, right? … It’s always about the moving and not about the waiting. But in a good system, you think about how it is to wait and dwell,” manilastandard.net/tech/314633792…

This is our chance to make EDSA work for people, not just cars. Submit a design concept and get the chance to win ₱100,000! 📅 Deadline: 24 AUG, 11:59 PM 📌 Details: bit.ly/RebuildEDSA Let’s claim the future of EDSA: Designed for commuters, by commuters.

Pag-aaralan daw ulit ang EDSA rehab 🤔 Bilang mga ordinaryong komyuter, dapat kasali tayo sa usaping ito. Ano ang gusto mong maging disenyo ng EDSA para mas mapakinabangan mo ito? #CommutersNaman #RedesignEDSA

We hope MMDA, DPWH, and concerned LGUs will further strengthen their engagement to understand on-the-ground realities and ensure inclusive solutions. #CommutersNaman

For this to happen, collaboration, political will, and a whole-of-government approach are essential. We commend the DOTr's proactive efforts and hope they can continue to champion for the everyday Filipino.

The EDSA rebuild presents a crucial opportunity to reconfigure the roadway more equitably by prioritizing people-efficient transport modes. This approach will enable EDSA to sustain — or even improve — its people throughput despite reduced road space. 🧵
