THE CLARK Development Corporation (CDC) plans to build more bike-related facilities in Clark Freeport to make it a "Bike-Friendly Zone."
According to CDC Engineering Services Group - Construction Management Division (ESG-CMD), some of the projects that are in the pipeline include the provision of the bike pit stop and off-road trails for bikers.
These projects are expected to be completed by September 2021.
The bike pit stop will be strategically located at the rotunda by Panday Pira Avenue and Creekside Road. This facility will serve as a one-stop-shop for bikers and it will be open for interested concessionaires who want to offer goods and services to bikers and guests.
Bike racks will also be installed near Clark convenience stores and other businesses to provide cyclists with a safe place to secure their bicycles while they rest.Off-road trails will also be built to give bikers more areas to explore.
Due to the growing number of bikers, the CDC's Public Safety Division (PSD) has deployed bike marshalls for added safety and security in various biking locations.
