Editor’s Note: In his important speech celebrating the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC), General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that "efforts should be made to solve the problems of insufficient development imbalance and people’s urgent difficulties and worries". The people’s urgent difficulties and worries are related to their immediate interests and reflect their livelihood and well-being. In recent years, all localities have actively explored, done practical things, and made efforts to solve the troubles of the masses and the difficult things at the grassroots level. The "Experience" column launched a series of reports on "It’s urgent and anxious to solve this problem", focusing on the problems that the masses care about, such as "parking difficulties", "entering the park difficulties" and "seeing a doctor difficulties", studying the solutions and exploring useful experiences, so please pay attention.

It’s late autumn, but the night in Jiangnan is still warm. At 9 o’clock in the evening, Jin Rongjia, who works in Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, drove home from work. The car went all the way through the lights and returned to Huagang Community in Xihu Community, Jiangling Street, Wujiang Economic Development Zone. At this moment, it is the most lively time here-clothing stores, snack bars and fruit shops are coming and going on both sides of the commercial street in the community, and mobile vendors’ cars on the curb continue the fireworks of street life.

At this time, there are no parking spaces in the community. Jin Rong was in no hurry. He stopped at the farmer’s market to buy a midnight snack, and then calmly turned into a newly opened temporary parking lot on the north side of the community.

Scan code, stop, go home, everything goes well!

"I used to go home at 10 o’clock in the evening. The most worrying thing was the parking space. I often circled around the community, but I couldn’t find a place to stop. There is nothing I can do, so I parked my car in front of the closed shop. I often can’t sleep for a few hours, and I was called to move the car at dawn. " Compared with the past, Jin Rong smiled happily.

The location is special, the demand is diversified, and parking is intertwined with people’s livelihood

Huagang Community used to be called Huagang Village. With the development of national wetdz, there are more and more migrants.

Zhao Pingyuan, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Xihu Community and director of the former Huagang Village Committee, laid out a map: It faces Shanghai and Zhejiang across the water, and foreign tenants come from all directions. In this old community built in 2000, there are more than 500 residents and more than 8,000 migrant workers. Commercial streets and mobile street vendors in the community have attracted more than 5,000 employees from nearby factories to spend money here.

With the improvement of economic conditions, many residents bought cars. "There were less than 10 cars at the beginning of the completion of the community, and there was no planned parking problem at all. Who would have thought that there would be more than 800 vehicles in 2019. " Zhao Pingyuan is very headache.

Not only that-there are more than 120 vendors among the residents, and nearly 200 stall cars have to "grab parking spaces" with cars; There was no charge for parking in the old community, which attracted the residents of the surrounding commercial housing community. Every day, more than 200 foreign cars stopped in.

Li Wencheng, a community resident, usually sets up a stall in the night market. He can’t remember how many times he quarreled with his neighbors about parking. Either his car was scratched by other stall cars or his stall car scratched someone else’s car. Countless residents like Jin Rong couldn’t find a parking place after several rounds of overtime nights. On the two-way non-mixed lane of Jiulong Road outside the residential area, the uneven road surface was blocked by more than 100 illegal cars one night …

Tap the potential inward, revitalize the stock, and do Dojo in the snail shell.

The difficulty of parking has increasingly troubled the residents of Huagang Community, and has become a livelihood fact that the masses have strongly reflected and urgently need to solve.

In 2019, Jiangling Street implemented community management, and Huagang Village was renamed Huagang Community, which was under the jurisdiction of the newly established West Lake Community. Zhao Pingyuan’s post was transferred to the community, and he broke the problem from Huagang Community, where the parking contradiction was the most serious.

Re-plan the parking spaces through bidding design, make full use of the littered public areas, and rebuild the severely damaged green belts into ecological berths … After all the planning, the space is still limited. Huagang Community exerts its strength from both the supply side and the demand side.

Zhao Pingyuan led the reporter to the middle of the community. There are 50 parking spaces in the west of a small river. "That’s not the case." Zhao Pingyuan took out his mobile phone and turned out the old photos: dilapidated color steel houses lined up in a row, and garbage was everywhere. It used to be a fruit and vegetable trading point spontaneously formed by farmers. Last year, it was demolished due to substandard sanitation and epidemic prevention, and it just turned into a parking lot.

Further north, a white line is drawn on an open space of about 1500 square meters, and more than 60 parking spaces are separated. "Well, here, it used to be a venue for residents to hold weddings and funerals. It is impossible to do things every day. We will plan it out. When we do things, we will move the car in advance and set up tents for banquets. If we don’t do things, we will use it for parking."

The east and west ends of the community are the sentry boxes for property security. Since 2019, Huagang Community has introduced properties and added gates to control "cars that should not be stopped" and "cars that should be stopped".

"Manage through economic leverage." Lu Peisheng, the property manager of the residential area, said that there was no charge for parking in the residential area, and as a result, cars everywhere stopped, which aggravated the congestion. After charging a proper fee, the residents all said it was acceptable to get a better parking environment. Considering the actual situation, some tenants chose rational car purchase.

Because of the large population mobility, it is inconvenient to set up a fixed parking space. Pei Lu also serves as a guide and mediator. When the reporter visited Huagang Community at night, he saw that Lu Peisheng picked up the walkie-talkie from time to time and contacted the sentry boxes to help the residents who came back late find the corner where they could park.

Fine governance, inciting increment, and multi-party joint efforts to build a mechanism

The "parking difficulty" in Huagang Community is not only the rapid growth of the number of cars, but also intertwined with nearly 200 mobile stall vehicles entering and leaving the community.

"From the perspective of law enforcement, these stalls will eventually be banned. However, in areas with a net inflow of population like Jiangling Street, there is just a need for its existence at this stage. " Zhang Lingjian, deputy director of Jiangling Street in charge of comprehensive law enforcement, said that tolerance for diverse lifestyles and consumption habits is also the meaning of civilized city governance.

At the beginning of this year, the West Lake community turned to the higher authorities for help in further solving the parking problem, and it was quickly responded. Wu Shouhong, chief of the bidding management section of the Construction Bureau of Wujiang Economic Development Zone, introduced that there is a factory upgraded to the park on the north side of the community, and 17 mu of land has been vacated, which can be used to build a temporary parking lot before the planned use is clearly defined.

The reporter walked into this parking lot of about 2000 square meters, with 73 parking spaces inside, and many vehicles were parked every day; Separated by a wall is a temporary parking spot for 360 square meters of stall cars, with drainage pipes, night lighting and security supervision. Wu Shouhong said that in the future, it will gradually be designed as a fixed place for parking during the day and setting up stalls at night to further reduce the parking pressure in the community.

Temporary parking is possible, how to protect it in the long run? The reporter learned that Wujiang District plans to plan public parking lots not less than existing parking spaces according to the surrounding conditions. "With the improvement of living standards, car ownership will continue to grow. Focusing on the long term, it is necessary to establish a long-term mechanism to achieve fine governance and urban renewal. " Wang Mou, member of the Standing Committee of Wujiang District Committee and deputy secretary of the Party Working Committee of Wujiang Economic Development Zone, introduced that the "Lebo Wujiang" intelligent parking system being applied in the whole region can integrate and mobilize all public and temporary parking spaces, and after the community parking demand is connected, it can seek more flexible resource allocation methods nearby; Cross-departmental platforms can also be used to build a bridge for resource sharing between community residents and surrounding business districts.

The good news came one by one, and the problems were solved one by one. Jin Rong and Li Wencheng will be steadily heading for a good day in this human fireworks.
