Xinmin Evening News (Reporter Xu Chi) Barrier-free facilities can not only serve special groups, but also reflect the temperature of a city. Recently, Mr. Hu, a citizen, reported to "Xinmin Help" that the sidewalk located at the intersection of Hengtong Road and Hengfeng Road, Gonghexin Road, Jing'an District, was hardened with concrete. As a result, the blind road located on the sidewalk is also "implicated": it is broken into three parts, which is seriously damaged and causes inconvenience to the disabled.

The afternoon before yesterday, the reporter came to the scene and saw that this section of the sidewalk was about 700 meters long, but the blind road above was artificially cut into three sections: one was located near Hengtong Road on Gonghexing Road, one section was near Meiyuan Road on Hengtong Road, and one section was on Hengfeng Road on Hengtong Road. According to Mr. Hu, the original blind roads here were paved with floor tiles, all of which were "patches in succession", at least, intact. Unfortunately, these blind alleys have now become unrecognizable: the cement concrete hardens the upper street edge and spreads to the blind road, and the whole blind road is like a patch, becoming uneven and prone to safety hazards.
The blind alley has become like this, not only ugly, but also difficult to walk. Mr. Hu bluntly said that because the sidewalk "extends in all directions", it is usually "very busy" from morning to night. Specifically, it has direct access to the Hanzhong Road subway station, as well as a number of residential buildings, shopping malls and office buildings, and many citizens passing through here. During the on-site interview, many passers-by also bluntly said that for healthy people, if they are not careful, they are easy to stumble and even fall, not to mention the visually impaired and blind, "The blind road is an important barrier-free facility, and he will feel disoriented." ”
The reporter also noticed that there are still many iron pillars and road cones on this section of the sidewalk, which are rusty, occupying the road and blocking the road, artificially making the road narrower and narrower. Some citizens also said that in order to "avoid pits", some citizens choose to walk directly on non-motorized lanes, which also has potential safety hazards. In this regard, they called on the relevant departments to repair the damaged blind roads in a timely manner, and strengthen the intensity and frequency of inspections, maintenance and maintenance, so that people can walk with peace of mind.
