Temporary stop adjustment fee map around Jianguo Market

[Reporters Su Jinfeng, Su Mengjuan/Taichung Report] Taichung City Parking Management Office has adjusted the parking fees around Jianguo Market since April 1st. Complaining that the cost of parking will more than triple, and the announcement was only half a month, Taichung City Councilor Zheng Gongjin criticized "sacrificing stalls for LaLaport"; the Transportation Bureau pointed out that the continuous rolling review of the charging management mechanism will maximize the use of parking spaces .

The Taichung City Parking Management Office announced the adjustment of the toll road sections: East District Jiancheng Road (Leye 1st Road ~ Jinde Road), Jinde Road (Fuxing East Road ~ Jiancheng Road), Leye 1st Road (Jinde Road ~ Jiancheng Road), Leye South Road ( Leye 1st Road to Leye 2nd Road) and the sidewalk on the north side of Leye 2nd Road (Jinde Road to Leye South Road) section, parking charges for cars and motorcycles, etc. The daily fee for locomotives is 20 yuan Adjusted to 10 yuan per hour, with a maximum of 30 yuan in a single day; car charges from 20 yuan per hour, adjusted to 30 yuan, about 152 car prices and 616 motorcycle price changes, causing suspicion of disguised price increases.

The parking lot in the market has a height limit and trucks can only park temporarily

Zheng Gongjin went to Jianguo Market yesterday to conduct a survey. Many market stalls reported that the parking lot in the restricted market is limited and high, and trucks cannot enter the market. Because the stalls arrive at the market early in the morning to prepare, most of them pay 1,200 yuan for parking The monthly pass is in response to temporary parking on the roadside. Now the city government has raised the parking fee and the monthly pass is not open. The parking fee may surge to 4,000 yuan. It is too much to bear, and about 20 stalls are affected.

Councilors criticized the city government for posting only 3 notices and calling for price increases

Zheng Gongjin was also dissatisfied and emphasized that not only the vendors and local councilors did not know about the city government’s adjustment of fees, but even posted an announcement on the Internet on March 14th. In some inconspicuous places, only three A4-sized announcements were posted, which caught people off guard. The implementation is urged to be postponed.

The Transportation Bureau stated that in response to the overall development of the Eastern District, the demand for parking spaces has increased. In order to improve the turnover of on-street parking spaces and allow more people to use the parking spaces, adjustments will be made, and the overall utilization rate and turnover rate of parking spaces will be continuously evaluated. Rolling review of fee management mechanism.

There are about 500 parking spaces for cars and about 550 parking spaces for motorcycles in the South Hall of LaLaport, which is currently in trial operation. There are about 1,200 free motorcycles outside the hall to replace the parking lot; Ten yuan, sixty yuan on holidays, twenty yuan per hour on weekdays and holidays for locomotives, and parking discounts for consumption.

In addition, LaLaport provides a free shuttle bus from Taichung Railway Station to Nanyikou on holidays and national holidays. I hope the public will make good use of it.

The Zhongshi government adjusted the charges around the Jianguo Market, and the announcement was posted inconspicuously and had no publicity effect.
