By: SC

   Cagayan de Oro City, February 6 – In a proactive effort to address traffic flow issues, the Cagayan de Oro City Hall, in collaboration with the Night Market Committee and the Roads and Traffic Administration (RTA), initiated a clearing operation on Thursday in key areas of Cogon. 

The operation focused on removing illegal vendors whose street-side stalls have been obstructing both pedestrian and vehicle movement, contributing to congestion.

The operation focused on reclaiming public roads and ensuring that business activities are conducted in designated spaces. By removing these illegal vendors from the streets, the city aims to create safer, more accessible pathways, improving overall traffic conditions. Local authorities are also working to provide proper alternatives for the vendors to ensure that commerce continues while minimizing disruptions to daily life. This clearing operation is part of a larger, ongoing initiative by the city government to not only address traffic flow but to also improve the organization and safety of public spaces across Cagayan de Oro. The authorities are emphasizing the importance of following guidelines and respecting traffic regulations to maintain order and create a better environment for both residents and visitors.

As the city moves forward with these efforts, city officials encourage the cooperation of the public in maintaining these improvements and fostering a more orderly urban landscape.
