(CNA, Taipei, May 16) To solve the problem of disposing of surplus soil from public construction projects, Taipei and New Taipei City will use Taipei Port as a temporary soil disposal site. Yesterday, the two cities held their third local consultation meeting to discuss traffic, environmental monitoring, and local feedback mechanisms such as budget allocations for beautifying parks and roads in the Bali District.
The New Taipei City Government's Department of Public Works stated in a press release today that the department and the Taipei City Government are cooperating across cities. Following coordination by the Executive Yuan, the Taiwan International Ports Corporation, under the Ministry of Transportation, will provide land in the northern siltation area of Taipei Port for use as a temporary soil disposal site for public construction projects in Taipei and New Taipei City.
The Department of Public Works pointed out that on May 15, the Taipei and New Taipei City governments invited local representatives, village chiefs, and residents for the third time to hold a consultation meeting. Explanations were provided on issues such as site configuration, traffic flow, environmental maintenance, and local feedback.
Regarding traffic and environmental issues, the Department of Public Works explained that a daily limit on the number of vehicles entering the site has already been set. This will be gradually adjusted based on the actual needs of Taipei and New Taipei City. Furthermore, the site has comprehensive plans for dust cover, environmental monitoring, and control mechanisms. Pollution prevention is a top management priority to protect the environmental quality of the Bali District.
In terms of local feedback mechanisms, the New Taipei City Government is actively researching specific plans to safeguard local rights. In addition to the current distribution of port surplus as feedback, the city government will also allocate relevant budgets in the future. These funds will be distributed to the Bali District Office and relevant units, specifically for the beautification of parks, squares, and roads in the Bali District, as well as for the maintenance and improvement of public facilities.
