Taguig City maintains 5.8km bike lane along Laguna Lake Highway

Taguig City has committed to maintaining its 5.8-kilometer bike lane along the Laguna Lake Highway to offer a safe and accessible alternative transportation for workers during the community quarantine.

The city government ensured the bike lane is clean, repainted, and equipped with directional signages to promote cycling.

Mayor Lino Cayetano welcomed all to utilize the safe and free in-city biking spot, calling it part of a broader initiative to encourage biking.

Temporary bike lanes were also piloted along Cayetano Boulevard and Bayani Road to assess the feasibility of integrating them into the city's infrastructure.

The city lauded the national government and the DPWH for constructing the pioneering protected bike lane on a national highway, which enhances cyclist safety.

This 5.8-kilometer bike lane, launched in February 2019, is separated from vehicular traffic by a planting strip, offering a permanent safety feature for bikers.

The "Bike-Friendly Taguig Ordinance" also supports City Hall employees, law enforcers, and health workers in adopting cycling through a bike-lending program.

Taguig City is also collaborating with the business sector to expand bike-friendly facilities and infrastructure across the city.
