During this National Day holiday, attentive citizens found that a new barrier-free lifting platform was installed at Gate 1 of the South Bund, a new barrier-free ramp and barrier-free lifting platform was built at Gate 10, and a barrier-free blind guide board was also added at each riverside entrance, which greatly facilitated the entry and exit of people with disabilities into and out of the riverside area.
The construction of barrier-free environment is related to the daily life of the disabled and the elderly, and is an important symbol of social civilization and progress. This year, the Huangpu District Construction Management Committee continued to promote the construction of a barrier-free environment with "one river and one river" as key areas. In the Huangpu Riverside, the District Construction Management Committee and the District Binjiang Office have focused on improving and upgrading the South Bund section of the Huangpu Riverside, so that the barrier-free environment with complete facilities and comfortable experience can be integrated into the urban fabric, so that more people's lives can be loved and "unhindered".
The newly installed barrier-free lifting platform and barrier-free ramp, together with the existing barrier-free ramp of Gate 3 and Dongjiadu Flower Bridge, constitute four barrier-free passages in and out of the South Bund riverside area, which will benefit Shanghai citizens and domestic and foreign tourists. Before the National Day, the District Construction Management Committee has organized training on the use and management of the newly installed barrier-free lifting platform, and if there is a need for use, the 24-hour Binjiang service personnel on duty will provide the use of services.
While improving the facilities, the District Construction Management Committee has also set up barrier-free guidance signs with Braille at all entrances and exits, and added an overall barrier-free guidance map of the South Bund, clearly marking the locations of barrier-free passages, barrier-free toilets, main roads and riverside facilities, so that people in need can find barrier-free facilities and obtain barrier-free services independently.
The barrier-free environment is the window of social civilization, which not only reflects the development and progress of the society, but also reflects the care and friendliness of the society. The Huangpu District Construction Management Committee will continue to promote the construction of a barrier-free environment in the district, ensure that special groups can participate in social life equally, fully and conveniently, and share the fruits of economic and social development.
