+ April 13, 2021 CLOGGED drainage systems caused the street flooding in Davao City during a heavy downpour Saturday evening, April 10, 2021, Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio said.
In a radio interview on Monday, April 12, the mayor said the Davao City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO) reported during their department heads meeting the list of areas that were flooded on Saturday evening.
“Barado ang drainage. Ang monitoring report sa street flooding akong giingnan na ipasa sa City Engineer’s Office (CEO) aron maka-review sila og unsay hinungdan. Pero mubalik gihapon na sa barado tungod sa naglain-laing mga rason (The drainage [systems] were clogged. I told CDRRMO to forward their monitoring report on street flooding to the City Engineer’s Office so they can review it and find out the cause. But it will all boil down to clogged drainage due to several reasons), Duterte-Carpio said in an interview on 87.5 FM

DAVAO CITY – The 18.50-kilometer Davao City Coastal Road Project of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) will have bicycle lanes measuring about two meters in width, affording cyclists a view of the majestic Davao Gulf once it opens to the public.
DPWH-Davao region Public Affairs and Information Officer Dean Ortiz said on Tuesday that aside from bike lanes, jogging lanes with a width of one meter have also been integrated into the road project.
Ortiz said they have yet to schedule the opening of the initial phase, covering the Junction Bago Aplaya to Talomo section, but added that the project is “ready for inauguration.”
