The second phase of the expansion of the Central Science Park has brought employment opportunities and traffic, resulting in rush hours for commuting and get off work. The intersection of Xitun Road and Dongda Road has formed a traffic bottleneck; Legislator Yan Kuanheng and Taichung City Council Deputy Speaker Yan Limin invited relevant units for a meeting today , to fight for the city government to build a special No. 5 road. Since the land acquisition and project funding amounted to nearly 4 billion yuan, Jiang Qichen, Vice President of the Legislative Yuan, called on the National Science Council and the China Science and Technology Administration to jointly bear the funds for the park's external roads in accordance with Zhuke and Nanke.
Yan Kuanheng said that after the opening of the south-west connecting road between Zhongke and Xitun Road to Xitun Road, the commuting time of Zhongke Park employees will be greatly saved. However, with the expansion plan of the second phase of Zhongke, engineering vehicles will come in and out frequently. In the future, it is foreseeable that a larger traffic flow will use Xitun Road to commute, which may form a new traffic bottleneck. Due to the 111-116 Ministry of Interior Life Circle All funds for the road project have been used up. After the new phase of the plan is announced in 2017, the Taichung City Government should submit the road plan for the living area as soon as possible, strive for central funding, and require the China Science and Technology Administration to shoulder the responsibility of guiding the development of roads outside the park. Road traffic cannot be pushed to the local government. The huge development funds will cause a heavy financial burden for the local government.
Yan Limin said that as Zhongke continues to expand its factories, and the number of manufacturers and employment population continues to increase, Xitun Road, Dongda Road and Taiwan Avenue are still under heavy traffic pressure during rush hours. It is recommended that the southwest link of Zhongke should be further built eastward to Dongda Road to improve the linking road network around Zhongke and effectively divert the traffic flow of Taiwan Avenue and adjacent roads.
Jiang Qichen, Vice President of the Legislative Yuan, said that Zhongke has brought job opportunities, but left traffic problems to the local area. The Zhongke Administration Bureau has been very active in opening up parks and attracting investment, but has turned a deaf ear to the most important transportation. Special Road No. 5 is 1,880 meters long and 45-50 meters wide. It is to ease the traffic flow in the Zhongke Park, because it passes through a large amount of Taiwanese sugar land, For private land, land expropriation fees and surface property compensation fees are as high as 2.35093 billion yuan. It is estimated that the project cost is also 1.4727 billion yuan. The cost of the project is nearly 4 billion. The China Science and Technology Administration should not stay aloof. It calls on the National Science Council and the China Science and Technology Administration to compare with Zhuke and Nanke. The funds for the park's external roads must be jointly borne.
Legislator Liao Weixiang, city councilors Huang Xinhui and Yang Dahong also came to express local opinions and suggested that the city government open a special road No. 5 as soon as possible to ease the traffic flow. The Construction Bureau stated that because the land cost of the project is quite high, if the city government pays it in full, it will cause a considerable burden. Therefore, after the new phase of the living area road is approved by the Executive Yuan, it will be reported to the Land and Resources Department as soon as possible to obtain funding subsidies. It will also continue to communicate with the China Science and Technology Administration Bureau in the hope of obtaining funding support.
