(Baonghean.vn) - To facilitate people's visits and shopping at pedestrian streets, Vinh City has proposed solutions for car and motorbike parking.

Vinh City is currently constructing four pedestrian streets: Ho Tung Mau Street (from Nai Bridge to the beginning of Nguyen Trung Ngan Street); Nguyen Van Cu Street (starting point intersecting with Ho Tung Mau Street, ending point intersecting with Le Hong Phong Street); Nguyen Trung Ngan Street connecting to Alley No. 2, Nguyen Trung Ngan Street, ending point intersecting with Nguyen Van Cu Street and Nguyen Tai Street.

To serve tourists visiting the pedestrian street, the Vinh City People's Committee plans to provide service parking for cars at the following locations: Parking Lot No. 1 at Ho Chi Minh Square, the parking lot at Vinh Giao Te Hotel, and the Provincial Labor Culture House.

Motorcycle parking services will be provided at the intersection of Le Hong Phong and Nguyen Van Cu streets and on the sidewalk of Le Mao street, in front of the Central Park. Additionally, if necessary, parking lot number 2 on Truong Thi street and the parking lot near the Festival Hall will be utilized.

Essentially, all units support the idea of ​​opening a pedestrian street in Vinh City. However, according to Mr. Ho Cong Nghia, Acting Head of the Management Board of Ho Chi Minh Square and Monument, the time when the pedestrian street is usually opened on Fridays and Saturdays is also when unexpected political events often take place that the board cannot anticipate.

Meanwhile, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Thanh, Director of the Provincial Labor Culture House, said: "I only learned about Vinh City's plan to open a pedestrian street through media reports, so I can't offer my opinion yet. However, I fully support opening a pedestrian street, but the opening of a parking service at the Provincial Labor Culture House needs careful consideration."

Currently, the Labor Cultural Center has many functional areas, and almost all of them are in use. On weekends, the number of people coming for recreation and sports increases, so the area can only be used for motorbike parking, while car parking is quite limited.

Similarly, when contacted, representatives from the Vinh Diplomatic Hotel did not offer a statement regarding the arrangement of parking services at the hotel. However, based on our research, we understand that the hotel often hosts many events and attracts a large number of guests on weekends, making it difficult for the hotel as the grounds are prioritized for hotel guests, with only the remaining area available for pedestrians. Specifically, the hotel will only develop a plan when the City People's Committee addresses the issue.

These are the locations that the city has surveyed and planned; in the near future, while awaiting feedback from departments, agencies, and the Provincial People's Committee, the city will work specifically with each unit on the plan to implement parking services, ensuring the greatest convenience for both citizens and service providers.
