Some challenges posed by the recent concreting of road

Some 80 million were spent by DPWH in improving the drainage and road network at Carebi and Kalayaan.   Less problem with flooding.

However some challenges are facing the residents:

1.  MDiaz is now being used as pass through thorugh by vehicles going to  Edenville, Baytown since this is a shorter distance to the reroute;

2.  Tricycles find it convenient if coming from Kalayaan to do a short cut via 2nd street since there are no humpbs at our street.

It poses danger though to us residents since this a residential subdivision    Some forget that tricycles (or even big bikes) roar by and they could be hit and/or run over.  We advised vehicle owners to park their vehicles inside their lot to avoid being bumped or scratched
