At 3 p.m., the water in Bayi Lake is shining, the shore is lush, and on the newly renovated riverfront road, people riding bicycles and walking go their separate ways, and time seems to slow down here.
However, just four months ago, nearby residents were troubled by narrow roads and mixed traffic. They said, "It turns out that when the two cars meet the car, we don't know what to do, it's very dangerous." For a while I didn't want to go here, and then they said that this was repaired and I tried it again, it was very good to walk, come out in the morning to walk such a circle, how to walk in the afternoon, quite suitable, and the air is good and there is a river, this road is repaired too good for us. "One is safe, the other is standardized, the whole is like a park, there are places for leisure, and there are places for fishing." There are also fewer cars, so I ride here with confidence, and I don't worry about being hit by the car behind, and Heqingan Green has indeed done it. ”
Non-motorized priority section/reporter shooting
The Yongyi Lake Slow Travel System Project runs from the confluence of the Kunyu River and the Yongding River Diversion Channel (Luodaozhuang) to the right bank of the Yuyuantan South Road Bridge River, with a total length of 3.4 kilometers. Near the south side of Luodao Zhuang, Yongyinqu, the sign with priority for non-motor vehicles is very conspicuous.
Shi Lianzhong, Engineering Management Section of the Municipal Urban River and Lake Management Office, pointed to the newly implemented three-color markings on Riverside Road and said that this section is mainly to remove the riverside protection net, open up the waterfront space, and increase the green area and signage to distinguish between trails and non-motor vehicle priority roads, the yellow line side is a non-motor vehicle priority road, and the green line side is a walking path, and driving and walking do not affect each other.
Pedestrians watching lake view from the trestle / reporter shooting
In the Yuyuantan South Road Bridge section, the scene of people robbing motor vehicles in the past no longer exists, and the newly built trestle bridge attracts attention. Walking on it, with the river is very pleasant, tired, there are also post stations along the line to rest.
The trestle is more than 800 meters long and the width varies from 1.5~2.5 meters wide, effectively separating pedestrians from bicycles and motor vehicles. "At the same time, we also communicated with the surrounding communities and units, advocating that they should pay attention to avoiding bicycles and pedestrians when driving cars." Gui Bin, head of the engineering management section of the city's urban river and lake management office, said that three bicycle stations have been added along the line for citizens to park their bicycles and walk down to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the river, while also carrying out green replanting, adding benches and garbage cans.
This year, the water department will also upgrade and improve many rivers in the urban area, and build ecological slope protection on both sides of the bank to provide citizens with a more convenient water-friendly space. Before the end of this year, the waterfront opening and upgrading project of the southwest second ring water system will be completed, and the ecological improvement of the second ditch will be carried out. "One after another, we will continue to explore the places where our people by the river are not particularly convenient, and carry out some good improvements, so that the people can enjoy the happiness, gain and satisfaction of being close to the water." Gui Bin said.
