Vinh City: Rectify the situation of encroachment on sidewalk corridors

(Baonghean.vn) - Billboards, banners, tables and chairs... that encroach on sidewalks will be confiscated and handled according to regulations. All of this is aimed at building a civilized, airy, and clean urban area.

Immediately after the launching ceremony of Traffic Safety Year 2016, the police and urban order forces of Vinh City coordinated with wards and communes in the area to patrol and handle the encroachment of traffic safety corridors, returning the land and space to the urban area.

In this campaign, Vinh City mobilized all police, urban order, and civil defense forces to participate in clearing traffic safety corridors. Through the streets, the group organized widespread announcements using loudspeakers to raise awareness and create high consensus among the people.

Vinh City established 6 teams, with the urban management force as the core, to patrol and handle all the city's roads. In the photo, the banner hung illegally, causing damage to the urban beauty on Le Hong Phong Street, was removed.

In addition, billboards of kiosks, restaurants, and businesses encroaching on the corridor will be seized by the authorities. In the photo, a phone supermarket at the intersection of Le Hong Phong and Nguyen Van Cu placed many billboards on the sidewalk that were seized by the authorities.

The billboards will be brought to Vinh City Urban Management Team for handling according to regulations.

Regarding sidewalk cafes, in addition to propaganda and reminders, the inspection team also confiscated some items to serve as a deterrent.

At the coffee shop at 77 Nguyen Van Cu Street, the owner has placed tables and chairs encroaching on the entire sidewalk, not leaving any space for pedestrians.

The authorities have warned and confiscated some tables and chairs.

Many people came out to prevent the confiscation. But after the authorities explained, the people all accepted.

However, there are many cases of non-compliance with the requests. The authorities must draw up a record of administrative violations according to regulations.
