When will Vinh City 'repair' sidewalks and apply one-way streets?
(Baonghean.vn) - In the sidewalk management solution, Vinh city has proposed to renovate some spots into "parking bays" for cars and apply one-way streets during rush hours on some streets. So when will this work be done?

Vinh City does not have a centralized parking lot, so when parking was banned, cars on the sidewalks caused traffic jams on some roads due to the increasing number of cars. Therefore, Vinh City Party Committee agreed with the plan proposed by the City People's Committee to implement the plan of "cutting" the sidewalk to create parking spaces for residents and businesses.
At the same time, roads with sidewalks over 6 m will allow 1 lane of parking along the sidewalk; and roads with sidewalks 9 m wide are proposed to allow 1 lane of parking across. This work must ensure a minimum of 1.5 m of sidewalk for pedestrians.
Vinh City Party Committee also assigned the City People's Committee to study and apply one-way traffic on routes during rush hours such as Hai Thuong Lan Ong, Phung Chi Kien, and Tran Quang Dieu. Specifically: Hai Thuong Lan Ong Street prohibits cars from going from Le Nin Street to Ha Huy Tap Street from 6:00 - 8:00 and 16:00 - 18:00 (section from the intersection of Ton That Thuyet Street to Ha Huy Tap Street); Phung Chi Kien Street prohibits cars from going from Le Nin Street to Ha Huy Tap Street from 6:00 - 8:00 and 16:00 - 18:00 (section from the intersection of Tran Quang Khai Street to Ha Huy Tap Street); Tran Quang Dieu Street prohibits cars from going from Dao Duy Tu Street to Phan Dang Luu Street (section from the intersection of Dao Duy Tu Street to Phan Dang Luu Street). |
However, most people are wondering and asking: When will the above work be done to facilitate people's lives and businesses?

A representative of the Vinh Urban Management Department said: All plans, including funding, have been calculated to implement the above policies. But when and how to implement them, the city must wait for the upcoming meeting of the City People's Council to approve.
Thus, it is very likely that the above sidewalk repair solutions will not be implemented until the end of July.
