The Taichung City Transportation Bureau issued a press release today. Bureau Director Yeh Chao-fu stated that the city government is promoting a parking lot upgrade policy to enhance the quality of public parking facilities, having recently completed the renovations of the 'Da-yi Multi-story Parking Lot' and the 'Hui-an Parking Lot.'
Through the public art piece 'Dream Departure,' which depicts the interaction between a youth and a pet symbolizing exploration and companionship, the Hui-an Parking Lot combines spatial design to make the facility not only functional but also an emotional and aesthetic urban space.
Yeh Chao-fu said that the Hui-an Parking Lot is close to the National Taichung Theater. When people park, they can feel the artistic atmosphere created by light, shadows, lines, and colors. The payment booths also break away from traditional designs, presenting vibrant colors and car shapes, which are both practical and fun, enhancing the overall spatial recognition and approachability.
Chou Chih-yuan, Director of the Taichung City Parking Management Office, stated that they are promoting the transformation of parking lots with diverse thinking. In addition to renovating infrastructure, they have introduced the concept of brand management. Everything from flow planning and safety design to environmental aesthetics has been comprehensively optimized to improve service quality and relieve surrounding traffic congestion.
The Transportation Bureau explained that the Da-yi Multi-story Parking Lot provides 156 parking spaces. Its structure has been completely renovated, signs and signal systems were redesigned, smart parking space detection equipment was introduced, pedestrian walkways were optimized, and green walls with energy-saving lighting and automatic drip irrigation systems were installed.
The Hui-an Parking Lot adopted a barrier-free design, introducing a license plate recognition system so vehicles don't need to stop to enter and exit, effectively improving traffic efficiency. It also features a nighttime 'Avatar Tree Walkway' to create a unique light environment. (Editor: Wu Su-jou) 1150419
