Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang of the Democratic Progressive Party today (12th) announced the policy of "Urban Stitching - Lighting up Civic Avenues", drawing on cases under international viaducts in Toronto, Tokyo, Bangkok, Melbourne and other countries, and proposed three spatial strategies of opening, crossing and transforming. Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan said that he has not yet seen Shen Boyang's content. The so-called "suturing" is not clear how he will do it.
Shen Boyang's "Urban Suture-Lighting Up the Citizen Avenue" policy aims to address the blind spots of governance under the Citizen Avenue viaduct that have been "heavy on vehicles but not on people, and alienated between north and south neighborhoods" for many years. He will draw on the cases under international viaducts in Toronto, Tokyo, Bangkok, Melbourne and other international viaducts to propose opening, leaping, and transformation. Three major spatial strategies were adopted, and three simulation bases of Huashan, Citizen Bade and Citizen Dunhua were selected to propose improvement directions, respectively creating sports and parent-child use, art, pedestrian and night corridors, making Citizen Avenue an urban space where citizens are willing to stay, and returning Citizen Avenue to citizens.
Jiang Wanan was interviewed before he went to Muzha Market to sweep the streets in the morning. He was asked about his views on Shen Boyang's stitching of the Civic Avenue. The city government had a similar plan in the past. Jiang Wanan said that he was sweeping the streets in the market and had not seen Shen Boyang's press conference and related design drawings. He also said that many people have said before that Citizen Avenue was built because the railway was undergrounded and then connected the entire urban traffic. Now it is said that it needs to be stitched up. It is not clear what Shen Boyang is going to do.
In addition, when he went to Yansan Night Market to sweep the streets on the 10th, there was a gas leak in the area. Jiang Wanan said that he went to the scene immediately to check and make sure it was safe before continuing his street sweeping schedule.
