The project is in partnership with the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) 7.
John Eddu Ibañez, Mayor Jonas Cortes’ executive secretary, said the DPWH and the City have already installed bollards and the concrete delineator to separate the bike lane from the other lanes for motorized vehicles.
Ibañez said that not all bike lanes will have bollards or concrete delineators. Others will only have pavement markings.
Plastic bollards are installed on streets like Ouano Ave., where vehicles travel at fast speed, he said. On A.C. Cortes Ave., where vehicles travel much slower because of the many intersections, bollards with concrete delineator are installed.

+ February 06, 2021 A BICYCLE race, which was supposed to be held on Zuellig Ave. Saturday morning, Feb. 6, 2021, was canceled due to the lack of permit.
John Eddu Ibañez, Mayor Jonas Cortes’ executive secretary, told SunStar Cebu he found out about the activity on Facebook.
According to the post, the race would take place behind the Cebu Doctor’s University at 4:30 a.m.
Ibañez showed up at the event and asked participants if they had a permit to use a one-kilometer stretch of Zuellig Ave. for the race.
They had none.
Ibañez said conducting a race without coordinating with the local government unit could endanger the lives of participants and the public, considering the road is a public road.
