SMPHITRO
R. Desiring to promote the convenience of the riding public and implement
seamless intermodal connectivity, especially for the commuting public who
will use and transfer between LRT-1, MRT-3, and MRT-7, the DOTr decided to
build the "Joint Station" I "Common Station" at the location indicated in the
LRT-1 Agreement ("LRT-1 Agreement Location") instead of the location
indicated in the LRTA-SMPHI MOA ("LRTA-S~vIPHI MOA Location").
S. Acting on the DOTr's decision to build the "Common Station" at the LRT-1
Agreement Location instead of al the LRTA-SMPHI MOA Location, SMPHI
instituted the following cases:
1. SM Prime Holdi11gs, Inc. v. The Light Rail Trans.it Authority and the Department
of Tm11sportatio11 and Co1111111111icatio11s, G.R. No. 213234, Supreme Court First

W. Since the Unified Station I Grand Central Station and the DPWH Interchange
Project share a common general location at the EDSA-North Avenue
intersection area, the DOTr and DPWH have agreed to coordinate and integrate
the development, design, and construction of the two projects to achieve the
most technically acceptable and economically viable solution, which entails the
least adverse environmental and social impact.

Grand Central Station are intended to deliver Level of Service C.
11. the projected peak pedestrian traffic of 40,000 persons per hour; and
iii. the Average Pedestrian Area Occupancy of 1.85 square meter per
person for Level of Service C;
iv. Walkway 1 (i.e., through Area B-1 (North Common Concourse) will
deliver Level of Service C provided its corridor and entranceways
have a width of at least 20.23 meters; and
d. Retail Space Frontage. The frontage of retail spaces, which shall not be
located anywhere within Area B (Commc0n Concourse), may directly
connect to Area B (Co1nmon Concourse), provided that all portions of

Concourse), provided that all portions of Area B (Common Concourse)
shall at all times be able to deliver Level of Service C pursuant to Section
2.2.3 above. For the avoidance of doubt, placing such commercial spaces
may require NTDCC to increase the corridor and entranceway widths of
Area B (Com1non Concourse), in order to ensure that all portions of Area
B (Common Concourse), at all times, are able to deliver Level of Service

I
Accordingly, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
SECTIONl
PARTIES' UNDERTAKINGS
1.1.l. Definition in Designs. During the preparation of the Designs for Area A (LRT-
1, MRT-3), DOTr and LRTA undertake to, in consultation with LRMC,
specifically define the portions of Area A (LRT-1, MRT-3) that will be
operated and maintained by LRMC, and over which LRMC shall have
development rights (i.e., Area A-1 (LRT-1)), and the portions of Area A
(LRT-1, MRT-3) that will be operated and maintained by DOTr, and over
which DOTr shall have development rights (i.e., Area A-2 (MRT-3)), which
shall be consistent with the MOA, the LRT-1 Agreement, and prudent
industry practices. These Designs shall substantially conform. to, and shall
not materially depart from, the Unified Station I Grand Central Station
High-Level Design.
1.1.3. Clarification of Development Rights Areas. To the extent that there are areas
within Area A (LRT-1, MRT-3) that are not exclusively or clearly within
either Area A-1 (LRT-1) or Area A-2 (MRT-3), LRMC shall have at least half
of the development rights within such areas, with the final percentage
subject to written agreement among LRMC, DOTr, and LRTA.
1.2. Area A (LRT-1, MRT-3) Coordination Cornmittee. The Parties shall establish
an Area A Coordination Committee, with procedures and functions similar
to the Coordination Committee created under Section 2.7 of the MOA, but
focused on Area A (LRT-1, MRT-3). Unless otherwise agreed, the members
of the Area A Coordination Committee shall be the Parties' designated
members in the Coordination Committed created under the MOA.
SECTION 2
