The administration of Ho Chi Minh City has ordered the implementation of a pilot project to improve traffic and revitalize some streets in the downtown area, with the participation of Japanese experts.

The municipal People’s Committee assigned the Department of Home Affairs to coordinate with the Department of Transport and other relevant agencies to propose the establishment of a working team to conduct the project.

The working team will include Japanese experts and representatives from the Department of Transport, the Department of Planning and Architecture, the Department of Finance, the Department of Planning and Investment, and the Department of Construction, as well as the People’s Committee of District 1.

The Department of Transport will take responsibility as a representative of the city to work with the Japanese experts and relevant agencies.

Earlier, the department proposed a project to improve traffic and revitalize streets in the inner-city area to secretary of the municipal Party Committee Nguyen Van Nen.

It suggested piloting the project on Thai Van Lung Street in District 1.

The department recommended upgrading the roadbed and sidewalks and other auxiliary items; rearranging vehicle parking spaces and trade activities along the street; and adding facilities and a smart parking system.

The capital for the project will be sourced from the state coffers and other legal resources.

The city will pay for the living and travel costs of the Japanese experts during the execution of the project.
