ANGELES CITY – In an ongoing effort to enhance both public safety and city aesthetics, the Angeles City Government has intensified its campaign to remove unsightly spaghetti wires and dangling cables across key areas. The project is being spearheaded by the Angeles City Traffic Development Office (ACTDO) and City Engineer’s Office (CEO), in partnership with various telecommunications companies (TELCOs) and the Angeles Electric Corporation (AEC).
The most recent operation took place along Angeles-Magalang Road in Barangay Pulung Cacutud, where teams worked to clear cluttered and hazardous overhead cables. These types of wires, often left hanging after installations or upgrades, have long posed risks to pedestrians, motorists, and utility workers alike.
This cleanup initiative is part of the city’s broader campaign to ensure clean, safe, and visually pleasing streets. By addressing cable congestion, the local government also aims to prevent service disruptions and potential fire hazards caused by tangled and unmaintained wires.
Mayor Carmelo “Jon” Lazatin II has been a staunch advocate of urban improvement projects that prioritize safety and quality of life for Angeleños. According to the ACTDO, operations like this will be conducted regularly in different barangays until all problematic areas are addressed.
City officials emphasized the importance of coordination with utility and telecommunications companies to properly manage and relocate overhead cables, ensuring minimal disruption to services during the clean-up. They also encouraged the public to report areas with messy cable setups.
The City Engineer’s Office highlighted that the project also aligns with Angeles City’s modernization goals, especially in preparation for smart city initiatives and upgraded infrastructure developments.
Through consistent collaboration and community involvement, the city government is determined to create a safer and more orderly environment. The campaign is expected to continue in other busy roads and residential areas in the coming months.
