PASIG City has completed a P2.2-million drainage and sidewalk project in Kapitolyo, combining flood control work with safer pedestrian access along part of East Capitol Drive and Sta. Rosa Street. Pasig City government announced Friday that the project covered the installation of a 232-meter drainage line canal made of reinforced concrete culvert pipes, with concrete inlet manholes to carry rainwater from the road into the drainage system. A one-meter-wide concrete sidewalk was also built above the drainage line and fitted with safety bollards to protect pedestrians. Mayor Vico Sotto said the city would strictly enforce laws against the discharge of untreated wastewater into drainage systems, a practice that can worsen clogging and flooding. He also said Pasig was working to make its roads more walkable by ensuring that sidewalks are safe and usable for pedestrians. The master plan was launched through Pasig City Resolution 175-11, series of 2023, to lay down long-term solutions to drainage and flooding problems in Pasig.
