"There is a path next to the garden in the center of the community, about 20 meters long, which used to have no street lights, and at night it was pitch black." Speaking of the past appearance of the path, Aunt Gu Huidi, a resident of Pingji No. 2 Village, Gumei Road Street, still remembers it vividly, "Now, walking on this path, you don't have to worry about it anymore." ”
Behind the change from dark to bright is the "micro-happiness" brought by a community micro-update.
The long-term lack of lighting facilities in the passage next to the garden in the center of the community is an old problem left over from decades. Later, with the completion of the renovation of the "Beautiful Home", the surrounding Century Lianhua and ALDI supermarkets have been opened one after another, which has become a shortcut to the central square and the east gate of Longming Road, and the flow of people is getting bigger and bigger.
Whenever night fell, Aunt Gu Huidi looked at the dark road, and her heart was full of worry. There are a number of buildings next to the central garden, and residents generally report that it is inconvenient to travel at night and there are potential safety hazards. There have been cases of residents who accidentally fell while walking at night, resulting in torn clothing and bodily injuries.
From the end of 2023, as the head of Building 97, she began to call for the installation of street lights along the edge of the central garden.
After hearing Aunt Gu's suggestion, the general party branch and neighborhood committee of Pingji No. 2 Village actively tried to solve the problem, held many meetings to discuss solutions, and reflected the residents' demands to Gumei Road Street. In order to further enrich the construction connotation of Pingji No. 2 Village as a national age-friendly community, the lighting renovation project was officially included in the street micro-renewal project.
The neighborhood committee, together with greeners, community planners and other relevant professionals, carried out in-depth demand research and planning, and invited residents to talk about their opinions and suggestions on the types and layouts of greening, street lamp styles and other needs, and jointly discussed the design plan for greening and lighting renovation.
In the end, the residents opted for energy-saving, environmentally friendly and long-life LED street lights, which are soft and not dazzling, and can also ensure illumination at night. Together with the project designer, we carefully selected green plants that are suitable for the local climate, have both ornamental and air purification functions, and were invited to participate in the planting and add greenery to the home.
With the start of construction at the end of August, six green landscape lights and two street lamps were gradually erected on both sides of the passage under the careful arrangement of designers and workers. During the installation process, residents will also put forward their own small suggestions, and the construction party will adjust according to the actual situation to ensure that every corner can be illuminated.
In addition, a micro-landscape sculpture with a sense of design appeared next to the street lamp, decorating this corner with a beautiful and artistic atmosphere, which is eye-catching.
After construction ended in September, a ray of light pierced the night and illuminated the road. Children run freely under the lights, chasing and playing; In the evening, the old people take a leisurely walk to enjoy this rare peace and tranquility. Residents applauded the achievement, saying, "Now I don't have to worry about falling down when I walk on this path at night." ”
Aunt Gu Huidi couldn't hide her joy, took a lot of photos of the lights and asked her wife to write a letter of thanks to the neighborhood committee overnight, she said: "Thank you for doing a good and practical thing for the residents of the community, I and my neighbors live around this garden passage, and we have the deepest experience of improving the living environment......
In order to keep the street lights on and the environment beautiful, we discussed and formulated a maintenance plan.
In terms of street lamp maintenance, the community has set up a special inspection team to regularly check the lighting effect of street lamps every month, replace damaged parts in a timely manner, ensure that there are no dead ends in night lighting, and protect the safety of residents at night; At the same time, the "Street Lamp Repair Hotline" has also been opened, so that residents can feedback problems at any time, and the property will deal with them in time.
In terms of green plant maintenance, in addition to regular "physical examinations" for plants, the community will also organize "Green Plant Conservation Day" activities to encourage residents to participate in daily care and jointly care for this greenery.
From worrying night roads to safe ways home, the community micro-renewal of Pingji No. 2 Village is based on the "things at the doorstep" of the masses to improve the happiness of residents. The bright lights not only illuminate the road under their feet, but also illuminate the hearts of the residents.
