According to residents, before the Handico 30 New Urban Area project and Le Mao Street, the area of ​​​​Block 2 Tan Phuong was near Vinh River and the surrounding terrain was lower, so it rarely flooded. However, since Le Mao Street and surrounding housing projects were raised, the area from the current extension of Le Mao Street to Vinh River, nearly 400 meters, has become a deep depression, like a bag of wastewater every time it rains.

According to research, although the previous survey was 28 households, after more than 10 years, the number of households has increased so it is necessary to re-survey and count. Therefore, the estimated resettlement land fund for this area is about 16,000m2.²and Vinh Tan ward currently has no such position so the city is searching.
