===Proposed shared bicycle-motorcycle lanes=== On August 18, 2023, the MMDA proposed converting the bicycle lanes on EDSA exclusive to bicycles into shared lanes for bicycles and motorcycles, claiming that the EDSA bicycle lanes are "underutilized", and also proposed plans to build an elevated walkway and bikeway on EDSA from Guadalupe to Cubao. A preliminary feasibility study will be conducted within the week, with a stakeholders' meeting with cyclists and motorcycle riders taking place on August 29, 2023.<ref name="MMDAClaimsNotDangerous">{{Cite news |last=Rita |first=Joviland |title=MMDA: Proposed shared lane for bikes, motorcycles in EDSA not dangerous |work=[[GMA Integrated News and Public Affairs]] |url=https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/topstories/metro/879928/mmda-proposed-shared-lane-for-bikes-motorcycles-in-edsa-not-dangerous/story/ |access-date=August 24, 2023}}</ref><ref name="SharedBikeMotorLane">{{Cite news |last=Relativo |first=James |date=August 23, 2023 |title='Unsafe': Transpo advocates blast plan to merge EDSA bike, motorcycle lanes |newspaper=[[Philippine Daily Inquirer]] |url=https://www.philstar.com/headlines/2023/08/23/2290835/unsafe-transpo-advocates-blast-plan-merge-edsa-bike-motorcycle-lanes |access-date=August 24, 2023}}</ref> The proposal was criticized by sustainable transport advocates, who claimed that the proposed scheme would compromise the safety of cyclists and argued instead to carve an exclusive motorcycle lane from the regular lanes.<ref name="MMDAClaimsNotDangerous" /><ref name="SharedBikeMotorLane" /> The [[Department of Transportation (Philippines)|Department of Transportation]] will have the final say on the MMDA's proposal, which has jurisdiction over the EDSA bicycle lanes.<ref name="SharedLanes-PNA">{{Cite news |date=August 22, 2023 |title=MMDA eyes 'shared lane' for bicycles, motorcycles along EDSA |url=https://www.pna.gov.ph/articles/1208258 |access-date=August 24, 2023}}</ref> The MMDA, together with the DILG, revived its proposal for shared bicycle and motorcycle lanes again in 2025, with the latter citing the need for a dedicated motorcycle lane.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Delgado |first=Harlene |date=February 5, 2025 |title='Two-wheel' lanes, gradual busway phaseout, part of Metro Manila comprehensive traffic plan study: Remulla |url=https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/weather-traffic/2025/2/5/gradual-busway-phaseout-is-part-of-comprehensive-traffic-plan-study-remulla-1722 |access-date=February 5, 2025 |work=[[ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs]]}}</ref>
