The Mangatarem Town Plaza is bounded by General Luna Street on North, Mabini Street on the South, Romulo Highway on the East, and Gutierrez Street on the West. Compared to other towns of Pangasinan or the Philippines, for that matter, our town plaza is a huge 26,900 sq. meters (2.69 hectares).

It would require a lot of resources to transform it into a park that gets attention and a popular, landmark that stands against the test of time. To achieve this dream, but with limited funds, we will have to divide the project into at least five (5) phases or areas.

The Entertainment Center Area

The Bus Loading/Unloading Bay

The Food Stalls

A food stall measures 3m wide x 5m deep. There will be 10 individual food stalls and one (1) coffee shop.

The Five Phases of Renovation

Disclaimer:

Todate, the Renovation of this project is on its engineering and design phase. The following pictures on this Power Point Presentation may not yet depict the completed structures. However, we will continually replace these pictures as final drawings are available.

P r e f a c e

Note:

As much as possible we will save existing trees. Old tress along Mabini, Gutierrez, and Gen Luna Streets will be saved. Pine trees inside the Auditorium will be saved as well. Other trees which do not blend with the current design will be cut down to make room for new construction.

If design allows us, we will include "Handicap Access" on all new and renovated structures.

It has been the dream of all residents of Mangatarem, Pangasinan to have a beautiful Town Plaza. With the election of Mayor Ramil Penic Ventenilla, this dream will now become a reality.
