[Reporter He Yuhua/New Taipei Report] Yonghe District, New Taipei City is narrow and densely populated. Residents complain that some sidewalks are still occupied by public facilities. They point out that there are many sidewalks on Yongzhen Road that are obstructed by road trees, sign poles and other facilities. The government reported that there are ramps or alternative roads that can be passed, which makes people question why the facilities that hinder the passage are not removed?

After the Municipal Bureau of Public Works invited relevant units to conduct a survey, it decided to gradually relocate the signs and road trees.

People in Yonghe District complained to this newspaper, saying that "Taiwan is really a hell for pedestrians." He reported to the municipal mailbox of the New Taipei City Government that the sidewalks of Lanes 332, 378, and 386 on Yongzhen Road were set up with road trees, signal poles, street light poles, and signal signs. However, the city government replied that there is a ramp next to the arcade to connect with the arcade, and a temporary alternative passage will be set up for pedestrians to pass.

He said that the city government does not want to remove the facilities that hinder pedestrians, and continues to set them on the sidewalk, which is incomprehensible. Don't these officials of the city government need to walk?
