Bridge Over Stinky River

Comment from a reader on "Main Gate Bridge":

I heard rumors about disputes between sbma and city mayor.. over various things. obviously closing that bridge hurts magsaysay businesses and freeport businesses. Some people simply choose not to drive out there in that traffic any more, and vice versa.

There is also the issue also about the new mall project that is going to go over in that area, which is obviously too small for any sizable shopping center and parking, etc. So many huge vacant areas on the freeport that would be far more amenable to a shopping mall but one wonders why it has to be built along a stinky river in a place that would be extremely congested with people and vehicles.

[The Subic Bulletin] For any shopping mall project to go ahead in the Freeport it needs to be accessible to the people of Olongapo and surrounds. These people don't have cars and could not affords Windstar's exorbitant prices, so its clear the mall needs to be close to the people next to the river is the only obvious choice. You won't know where you are when your inside so who really cares if its next to the "sticky river"?
