(CNA reporter Yang Shu-min, Taipei, April 20, 2026) The Taipei City Department of Transportation announced today that citizens reported that weeding at Meidi Pier affected parked vehicles. Upon investigation, it was found that the outsourced contractor did not follow contractual specifications for protection during weeding, and the ejected gravel caused damage to citizens' vehicles. The contractor has been instructed to improve and compensate, and will also be fined according to the contract.
Recently, a social media group "Bao Liao Gong She" posted images and text stating, "Meidi Pier parking lot announced weeding on 4/27 but worked ahead of schedule without notification, spraying gravel into parking spaces, affecting an entire row."
The Taipei City Parking Management and Development Agency told CNA reporters that according to the contract, the contractor's cleaning staff should post a notice in a conspicuous place in the parking lot three days prior to weeding. If vehicle damage is found to be true after investigation, the contractor will be fined according to the contract and will also be liable for compensation. (Editor: Zhang Yajing) 1150420
