'''Amorsolo Street''' is a minor north-south roadway that runs parallel to [[Chino Roces Avenue]] in [[Makati]], [[Metro Manila]], [[Philippines]]. The street starts inside [[Dasmariñas, Makati|Dasmariñas Village]], continues north to San Lorenzo Village with some discontinuities, and into the western edge of the [[Makati Central Business District]], where it ends at the intersection with [[Ayala Avenue]]. The street is named for renowned [[Filipino people|Filipino]] painter and [[National Artists of the Philippines|national artist]] [[Fernando Amorsolo]]. |
|||
==Route description== |
|||
The southern end of Amorsolo Street is at Tamarind Road within Barangay [[Dasmariñas, Makati|Dasmariñas]] where it serves as the boundary between the gated Dasmariñas and Ecology Villages, as well as barangays Dasmariñas and Magallanes. It is interrupted by the [[Magallanes Interchange]] and the [[MRT Line 3 (Metro Manila)|MRT Line 3]] at the intersection with [[EDSA|Epifanio de los Santos Avenue]] (EDSA). On the other side of EDSA, the road picks up as a residential street within San Lorenzo Village where it forms the village's western border with Ecology Village, running next to a creek. At [[Arnaiz Avenue]], the road leaves the gated village and widens to eight lanes from four with the opening of slightly elevated southbound lanes over the Amorsolo Creek to accommodate increased traffic from [[Skyway (Metro Manila)|Skyway]]'s Amorsolo Exit that merges onto the road. Located within Legazpi Village, the section between Arnaiz Avenue and Dela Rosa Street is dominated by old low to mid rise buildings on the eastern side and the Makati Cinema Square and Mile Long complexes on the western side. North of Dela Rosa, Amorsolo narrows back to four lanes carrying northbound traffic to its terminus at [[Ayala Avenue]]. |

In 2000, Skyway builder, PT Citra Metro Manila Tollways Corp., was fined {{Philippine peso|58.8 million|link=yes}} for violating environmental regulations when it covered up the creek in Amorsolo Street and reclaimed the Palili creek in Bicutan. The [[Department of Environment and Natural Resources]] attributed the flooding in those areas to the construction of the Skyway on/off ramps on top of those ''esteros''.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.philstar.com/headlines/93583/denr-sanctions-citra-failure-comply-environment-rules?nomobile=1|title=DENR sanctions Citra for failure to comply with environment rules|publisher=[[Philippine Star]]|access-date=October 16, 2013|date=January 18, 2000|first=Marvin|last=Sy}}</ref> |
