(Baonghean.vn) - The 5 streets expected to be newly invested as pedestrian streets are: Nguyen Van Cu (from Le Hong Phong Street to Nguyen Sy Sach Street), Ha Huy Tap, Le Hong Phong, Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, the route from the airport road to the Customs traffic island. These streets will be invested in the form of socialization, with people contributing 30% of the value of the sidewalk item.

This is a policy that has been agreed upon since 2018 and is considered an important task to beautify the urban area, build a modern and spacious Vinh city, worthy of being a type 1 urban area, the center of the North Central region.

It is known that the total investment is expected to be 675 billion VND, of which the items of undergrounding power lines, telecommunications, renovating drainage ditches, lighting, and trees will be implemented by the State budget with a total capital of 304 billion VND.

Implementing the motto of the State and the people working together, in which the capital contribution of families and organizations along the sidewalk is 30% (according to Resolution 03/2019 of the City People's Council, the contribution of households is 50% of the total investment, however, in the current conditions based on the difficult situation due to the epidemic, the city has adjusted the contribution down to 30% of the total investment).

Vinh City assigns the People's Committees of wards and communes to be responsible for allocating costs for each item and capital sources for each street in the management area. Projects in which wards and communes are assigned to the People's Committees of those wards and communes as investors. The Vinh City Construction Investment Project Management Board manages and operates the budget according to regulations. Organizations and individuals have the right to supervise community investment according to regulations.

The City People's Committee assigned wards and communes to propagate and mobilize people on invested streets so that people know, participate and exercise their rights.

The streets in Vinh city have been invested for a long time, but due to the long investment process, the sidewalks and drainage ditches have now degraded, causing localized flooding. The lighting and trees are not synchronized, the power and telecommunication lines have not been buried underground, causing loss of urban beauty, not ensuring safety, affecting the quality of people's lives. Most of the commercial streets are quite prosperous, but the infrastructure has not met the needs, not worthy of a class 1 urban area.
