Abstract:

The speed of movements of the goods and services in a locality is a vital determinant of progress. Many of these goods and services moved through the roads aside from airports and sea ports. It is therefore, of utmost importance that the government provides right services for the benefit of all. The populace’ access to farm products is very important to our daily lives. When these goods are made cheap to the buying public thru improved farm-to-market roads it will be a great help to the people. The provision of an alternate route that will shorten this travel time is therefore welcomed. The proposed coastal road from Toril to downtown Davao is one of the very much possible routes. Studying the feasibility of this project is of utmost importance. Along with the reduced travel time is the savings in fuel and the reduction of wear and tear on many of the moving parts of vehicles. Aside from the beauty that can be contributed by the aesthetics of the proposed project, it can be a pride to Davao City.
