MMDA Inaugurates Welcome Rotonda – Quezon Avenue Pedestrian

Overpass Under the Adopt-A-Footbridge Program

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) will inaugurate tomorrow

the Welcome Rotonda – Quezon Avenue pedestrian overpass under the “Adopt-A-
Footbridge” program, the agency’s Public-Private Partnership (PPP) initiative that
involves the private sector in the rehabilitation and beautification of existing footbridges
in the metropolis.

Under the program, private partners will finance the repair, rehabilitation and
improvement of footbridges in Metro Manila for the benefit of pedestrians using the said
footbridge.

“The beauty of this Adopt-A-Footbridge program is that pedestrian footbridges will

now be safer and more comfortable for the public,” MMDA Chairman Emerson Carlos
said.

along the bridge span to reduce air pollution.

According to Carlos, proper lightings will also be installed, along with CCTVs and 24-
hour roving security personnel, as well as provisions for persons with disabilities (PWDs)
such as non-skid stairs and pavements. These are to be properly maintained at all
times.

“With all these amenities, using the pedestrian footbridges will be a more pleasant
experience,” the MMDA chief said.
