Page "Santa Mesa, Manila" Paragraph 8

Santa Mesa is a concrete jungle with juggled streets where almost 1, 200 pass through everyday.

Traffic is from moderate to heavy 24 hours a day, thus the district suffers air pollution in the form of smog which affects most of its residents.

Along with Manila, it suffers heavy pollution and lack of urban planning.

Major roads traversing it are Pres.

Ramon Magsaysay Blvd.

and P. Sanchez St. ( R-6 ).

Also traversing it is the Old Santa Mesa Boulevard which connects Manila to San Juan.

Due to the large volume of vehicles, it is expected to be the hottest district in Manila, comparable to that of Makati Central Business District ( CBD ) and Ortigas Center.
