Planning for the completion of the first section of the Pasig River Esplanade (PARES) between Del Pan Bridge and Ayala Bridge. The goal is to ensure that users (pedestrians and bikers) can loop each of the planned nine sections of the 26km PARES -about 4-5 kilometers per loop (with sub loops of 1.5-3 kilometers depending on bridge locations). Connections to transport and access to communities are also being planned. Here we hope to link the esplanade with the LRT 1 City Hall Station via the Arroceros Forest Park and also Quiapo on the left. What do you think?

Twenty years ago I was part of the team that managed the urban design and functional enhancements for the Singapore River and Orchard Road. This was one of the new River Cruise stations we set up along the 3-kilometer Singapore River. The river boats here are mostly used by tourists, since the island nation has supremely efficient and convenient MRT and bus systems. Both banks of the river are connected by 15 bridges, half of which are dedicated pedestrian bridges, and all with easy pedestrian sidewalks. The Singapore River has five bridges per kilometer on the average, compared to the one bridge per kilometer for the Pasig. We have a long way to go to catch up with this standard of connectivity. But as they say "The journey of a thousand rivers starts with the first bridge."
