Expand Katipunan to Ateneo campus -- "The Metro Manila Development Authority will go ahead with the cutting of trees on Katipunan Avenue to ease the traffic congestion in front of Miriam and Ateneo. The MMDA wants to remove the islands separating the service roads from the main road and thus widen the avenue and allow it to carry more vehicles. But growing on those islands are the trees, so they will have to go, says the MMDA." (Comment: What happens if, after the trees are removed, traffic does not ease?)
