A NURSERY, view deck stations, and a dam will be part of further development and improvement of the scenic Daang Kalikasan road here to be implemented by various national government agencies and the local government unit (LGU).

This was pointed out by Lingayen Mayor Leopoldo Bataoil during the question hour of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan’s session on Monday.

Bataoil said construction of view deck stations will be proposed as an activity of the Department of Tourism while water ranges will be identified for possible construction of a dam in the area by the Department of Public Works and Highways.

Meanwhile, Mangatarem Mayor Ramil Ventenilla said the LGU will soon enact an ordinance imposing a speed limit and other regulations to prevent accidents in the Daang Kalikasan.

“We ask the DPWH to also provide manpower so that the checkpoint there will be 24 hours as some people still manage to sneak into the road, especially at night without the police checkpoint,” he said.

The “Daang Kalikasan” in Mangatarem and the “Daang Katutubo” in Aguilar town have been temporarily closed to visitors since Feb.17 to prevent delays in its construction. (Helen Martin)
