With the development of urban transportation, pedestrian bridges span the roads in Leshan City, serving citizens and tourists to cross the road safely, while also improving the traffic efficiency of motor vehicles. Recently, some netizens posted in the Haitang community of Leshan News Network that the pedestrian bridges in the central urban area of Leshan have been built one by one, but they have no names, and they hope to name the pedestrian bridges in Leshan to facilitate the management of departments, citizens and tourists.
Shaping the image of the city
On December 14, the reporter visited the pedestrian bridges on the southern section of Chunhua Road and Baiyang East Road in the central urban area. The pedestrian bridge in the southern section of Chunhua Road spans the road, which connects the intersection of Leshan Experimental Primary School and the opposite road. "Every day after school, many students and parents pass on the flyover, and the construction of the pedestrian bridge effectively reduces the traffic interference of people and vehicles on this road, improves the traffic flow rate, alleviates the traffic pressure to a certain extent, and ensures the traffic safety of surrounding students and residents. Mr. Li, who was walking on the overpass, told reporters.
On the pedestrian bridge located on Baiyang East Road, the reporter met Mr. Wu, who had just finished exercising from the Leshan Sports Center. "If the name of a pedestrian bridge wants to be remembered by the public, it must be carefully considered, and when naming, it is best to reflect the location characteristics and landscape factors, and if it can have a certain historical and humanistic connotation, it will be better, so that the name of the pedestrian bridge can really play a role in showing the image of the city. Mr. Wu said.
During the interview, many citizens believed that in addition to naming the pedestrian bridge, some elements that integrate the characteristics of Leshan city can also be set up on the pedestrian bridge, which can further shape the image of Leshan city, create a new landmark of Leshan city, and also more suitable for the identity of Leshan historical and cultural city.
Keep the memory of the city alive
Regarding the suggestions put forward by netizens to name the pedestrian bridge, the reporter contacted Deng Biqing, a scholar of local cultural history in Leshan. He believes that the standardized naming of pedestrian bridges is conducive to improving the quality of the city. Deng Biqing suggested that when naming, we can focus on the elements of Leshan or the unique historical and cultural elements of Leshan, and standardize the naming of pedestrian bridges to retain the memory of the city and enrich the spiritual core of the city. When naming the bridge, it is necessary to combine the history, geography, environment, humanities, and landscape naming of the bridge, so that the public can remember it on the requirements to be easy to understand, profound, concise and easy to remember, and the words are standardized.
The reporter learned that there are a total of 12 pedestrian bridges in Leshan City, namely Zhugongxi Pedestrian Bridge, Xinghe Home Pedestrian Bridge, Tianyun Pedestrian Bridge Outside the City, Minjiang Three Bridges Pedestrian Ladder Two, Haitang Road Pedestrian Bridge, Renmin West Road Pedestrian Bridge, Jiading Middle Road Pedestrian Bridge, Jiading North Road Pedestrian Bridge, Longyou Road East Section Pedestrian Bridge, Chunhua Road South Section (Experimental Primary School Intersection) Pedestrian Bridge, Municipal Sports Center New Pedestrian Bridge, Baiyang West Road (Xicheng International) Pedestrian Bridge. At present, none of the 12 pedestrian bridges are named, and they are all named after the project name at the time of construction, and there is no official name, which makes it difficult for the relevant management departments to manage them.
In response to the feedback of netizens, the Leshan Municipal Bureau of Housing and Urban-Rural Development said that in the process of maintenance and management of municipal facilities, it will solicit the opinions of the relevant planning and administrative division authorities, and reasonably determine the name of the flyover and set it up.
Reporter's Notes
As an elevated passage for pedestrians, pedestrian bridges play an important role in the city's slow traffic system. In the image shaping of the city, the pedestrian bridge, as an urban landscape, is one of the important components of the urban image recognition system, which can be used to explore the intrinsic characteristics of Leshan's urban history and culture through the standardized naming of the pedestrian bridge, give the urban planning a more accurate positioning, and express the cultural connotation of the city, so that the city has more personality and characteristics. At the same time, the use of naming language should pay attention to the harmony of the pronunciation, the harmony of the rhyme, and the far-reaching meaning, which is not only good to hear, conducive to dissemination, but also convenient for the public to remember.
