Metro Manila Development Authority chairman Romando Artes on Thursday apologized for the steep PWD ramp at EDSA Busway’s PhilAm Station in Quezon City.“Ako ay humihingi ng paumanhin sa ating mga kababayan kung ang impresyon nyo ay hindi po siya pinag-isipan. Hindi po, pinag-isipan po namin ito nang mabuti,” Artes said in an ambush interview.“Kinonsulta nating yung mga arkitekto natin, mga engineers sa traffic engineering center.
So, it's a choice between maglagay kami ng ganyan, or alisin completely. Yun lang po yung choice namin,” he added.Artes noted that only one of the five ramps they have built have issues but the rest have good elevation.An architect who helped craft the implementing rules and regulations of Batas Pambansa No. 344 or the Accessibility Law said the PWD ramp was ten degrees steeper than the accepted standard.
