[Reporter Chen Guanbei/Changhua Report] There is a connecting road at the rear station of Yuanlin Railway Station in Yuanlin City, Changhua County, which connects to the West District. On the afternoon of the 12th, half of the road was suddenly occupied by a pile of iron bars and triangular cones, causing many people to complain. However, The landlord posted a notice saying that six years ago, it was convenient for the office to widen the operation and provide citizens with access, but so far there has been no action and no collection, so they have to endure the infamy and block the road section.

The Yuanlin Municipal Office stated that due to limited finances, it will try its best to raise the collection fee, which is estimated to be 30 million yuan.

Yuanlin City Xinsheng Road above Lane 116 used to connect to the railway station flyover, and the elevated Yuanlin Railway Station was demolished. For the convenience of citizens, the Yuanlin City Office negotiated with the landlord to collect rent fees in 2017, and used it as a railway station connected to Xinsheng Road , can save at least 5 minutes of commuting distance, which is very convenient for people who drive cars. However, a large triangular road block of about 4 ping was suddenly surrounded by iron frames in the middle of the road yesterday, occupying half of the road, and a sign saying that the road is impassable is posted, and cars cannot pass at all. , had to reverse the car and turn back, which only increased the time to catch the train, and also caused complaints from commuters.

In response to this, the landlord posted a notice on the iron frame, pointing out that the road was planned to be widened. Six years ago, in order to make it easier for the citizens and the office to operate, the land was leased to the city office for the public to pass. Six years later, the city office has done nothing , now for the development of Yuanlin West District, "I endure the infamy and close this section of road" and other words.

The reporter interviewed Xiao Mu, the mother of the landowner who closed the road. She said that the land was bought from the former landlord with money. At the beginning, it was rented for everyone’s convenience. The rent was only about 3,000 yuan in the past six years, but the lease expired and the government still did not collect it. In addition, I also worry that long-term low-cost public leases may become a de facto road in the future, so I have to take this method and urge the city hall to open up the road for the benefit of all citizens.

According to the Yuanlin Municipal Office, according to the urban plan, Lane 116 of Xinsheng Road will be widened to a 12-meter road to balance the traffic on the east and west sides of the railway station. The rental fee is calculated and charged at an annual interest rate of 5% of the declared land price year by year. Until February 28 this year, the lease has expired recently. The office has negotiated with the landlord many times. Said that there are many considerations, so far still unwilling to renew the lease.

The Yuanlin Municipal Office admitted that it intends to proceed with the expropriation procedures, but the expropriation funds are estimated to be more than 30 million yuan, and the procedures related to the development plan will take a long time. It will continue to communicate with the landlord to discuss an accelerated expropriation plan. Before the relevant procedures, it is more in the public interest for the landlord to continue to lease to the public office.

The connecting road at the rear of Yuanlin Railway Station was suddenly blocked by a landlord for half of the road, which made it difficult for commuters to travel and caused a lot of public grievances.
