On February 3rd, 65438, Chou Baoxing, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Construction, said that he was deeply saddened by the practice of canceling bicycle lanes in some cities, and stressed that new roads (except high-speed ring roads) in any city should have bicycle lanes and sidewalks in the future to protect the interests of ordinary people. The development of cities should reflect social equity, and government departments should not be inclined to powerful groups when formulating policies. "No one can shirk social responsibility in the name of reform and cannot privatize public resources."
When I first saw the title "All new roads should have bicycle lanes", I thought, after all, I am the vice minister of the Ministry of Construction, that is, a professional, and I saw the defects of urban road construction in China at a glance. Then look down, who knows that this is not the case at all, and the Vice Minister of Construction actually forcibly discusses the issues of public resources and social responsibility from the standpoint of sociologists. My brain is broken, and I can't even figure out what I do. What were you looking at when I came out? That's interesting.
China has a vast territory and abundant resources, but it carries1300 million people who are still bubbling, so you have to live anyway.
The space is not spacious. Especially with the rapid development of economy and the advancement of urbanization, the population of many cities has expanded rapidly. The most direct manifestation of economic development and population increase is that there are more people and cars on the road. Some local governments and construction departments simply cancel bicycle lanes and sidewalks on the roads and replace them with motor vehicle lanes, which is called a style.
However, after all, we are not new york, London or Tokyo. Most people in China can't afford a private car. In the case of underdeveloped public transportation, these people have to use relatively cheap means of transportation, motorcycles or bicycles. If there is no bicycle lane on the road, it shows that the mainstream people in society have begun to abandon bicycles as a means of transportation, and even more or less discriminate against people who use bicycles. Therefore, besides cars, motorcycles are very popular. Motorcycle is my worst means of transportation. The aversion to it first comes from the university. At school, there are many foreign students from Europe, America, Japan and South Korea on campus, and they can often be seen whistling past the grassy campus on heavy locomotives, leaving behind tractor-like noise and exhaust. I hate motorcycles more when I work in Dongguan. Because of the world-famous robbery in Dongguan, nine times out of ten, it was done with the help of motorcycles. Most of the robbers passed pedestrians on motorcycles and snatched their bags or other valuables. When I first arrived, my heart beat faster when I heard the sound of the motorcycle engine. This year 10, in order to reduce the occurrence of motorcycle robbery, Dongguan began to ban motorcycles. Foreign motorcycles are prohibited from driving on local roads. The public security effect of banning motorcycles is good, but it also creates another problem. What should a large number of people who used to rely on motorcycles do now? Most roads in Dongguan have no bicycle lanes, and the public transport system is extremely underdeveloped. I wonder if they all choose to walk to work like me.
Our ancestors taught us to analyze the specific situation. The present situation of characteristic urban roads in China requires us to explore new urban construction ideas different from those in western countries. Our country has a large population and few people, all of whom are crowded in cities. Popularizing cars like western society is bound to make the already crowded roads worse. Using environmentally friendly vehicles with small floor space and good mobility can not only greatly alleviate traffic congestion, but also make great contributions to reducing exhaust emissions and protecting the environment. Looking at all kinds of means of transportation, only bicycles can undertake this great task.
Therefore, I very much agree with Comrade Chou Baoxing's emphasis that the construction of bicycle lanes and sidewalks cannot be ignored, and we can all achieve the same goal. Who can help me find a commendatory word? ) at least it is related to how I will go to work in the future. To the greatest extent, it will affect the harmonious development of society. Support the opinions of the Ministry of Construction!
