The city government is studying the possibility of pursuing the construction of a multi-level pay parking building within a portion of the Orchidarium.
The Baguio City Traffic Management Team presented the proposal as an alternative to the planned parking structure at the Ganza parking area.
Mayor Benjamin B. Magalong tasked concerned offices to study which of the two proposed sites are feasible and advantageous to the city.
A number of proponents have submitted proposals for the put-up of multi-level parking structures at Ganza parking area, which is seen to accommodate more than 700 vehicles.
The proposed three-story pay parking structure within a portion of the Orchidarium can accommodate over 1,000 vehicles at one time.
One of the 15-point collective agenda of the administration is effective traffic management through the implementation of the strategic programs, projects, and activities geared towards improving the state of the traffic in the city.
The local government is also awaiting the report of experts from the Metro Manila Development Authority who earlier conducted a study on Baguio’s traffic that would be their basis in coming up with recommendations to be adopted by local policymakers in addressing the problem on congestion. – PIO release
