Why was Baytown up to Velasquez road closed to traffic late yesterday? Due to flooding?

It is more fun criticizing

A feature of MS (Bing) notified this gadget not to pass Baytown up to Velasquez (Villa Road) late
yesterday afternoon.  After a few hours of rains due to typhoons Butchoy or Carina.  

The said road has been added several layers of concrete (about 3 layers?) and yet flood continues.  The residents of Baytown complain of year round inundation..

This post can cite several items for analysis and discussion:

1.  The area being discussed is part of the lake - famous elevation 12.5 mlle which LLDA sets as demarcation for non development.  And yet a road was built, and reclamation extending up to several hundred meters were undertaken;
2.  Despite the posted prohibition, the reclamation continued;
3.  Elevation 12.5 is at the end of Richmond, thus Baytown is beyond the said elevation.   Thus when it rains the lake takes back what its hers, hence the flooding.  

This post presupposes that the flooding the problem at Baytown will persist when it rains.  Only when it rains.  (Or even when it does not rain because water seeks its own level)

Who will have this road in Taytay repaired

It is more fun criticizing

                     Would you call this a road.

Pity the poor commuters,  Pity the wage earners. Many PUV and AUV (Fx) pass through this road in Villa Valera (Velasquez road) and this is very rutted and badly maintained.  To top it all, at the narrowest portion, there are tricycles who call the road their own, and hence a lot of delays and traffic jam...  (Cant these trikes be arrested or towed?  Is there an ordinance in this town prohibiting parking along main highway.  Di na nagbabayad ng buwis, purewisyo pa.....!!!!)

  You could lose a wheel or an axle passing this road.  They had signs before that it would be repaired.  it did not happen.
