A pedestrian on the street heaved heavily while being interviewed. One blog described it as a “nightmare”. We’d love to call it forced exercise, except instead of a workout music tracklist, all you can hear from the new P28-million pedestrian overpass near Philcoa, Quezon City, is the steady rumbling of the busy traffic below. No wonder residents hate it: it’s 16-feet, or two-storeys, high. A project engineer for the walkway explained that the bridge had to be brought up this high to provide vertical clearance for container vans crossing the area. MM
