A villager from Yabu Village in Shangdu Subdistrict remarked during a conversation with village officials that driving along the Third Bridge extension road at night was difficult because there were no streetlights on either side, leaving only vehicle headlights for illumination and making visibility poor, and expressed hope that streetlights could be installed as soon as possible.
The urgent needs and concerns of the public serve as the "work checklist" for Party members and officials in Shangdu Subdistrict. To address shortcomings in road infrastructure, improve nighttime driving conditions, and strengthen road safety, the Party Working Committee and Office of Shangdu Subdistrict included the solar streetlight installation project along the Third Bridge extension road as a key livelihood initiative under the "Practical Matters for the People" program.
Through extensive efforts, on the evening of November 4, solar streetlights along the Third Bridge extension road began to illuminate one after another. The solar streetlight installation project covers roads in Yabu Village and Weihe Village, with a total length of 5.5 kilometers and 250 solar streetlights installed on both sides of the road. Once operational, the streetlights effectively addressed the nighttime lighting gap along this section and significantly enhanced public safety.
Since the project's launch, the subdistrict has consistently followed a people-centered approach. During the preparatory phase, town and village staff were organized to conduct on-site surveys and visits, gathering opinions widely from residents of Yabu and Weihe villages, and scientifically designing the streetlight installation plan. During construction, on-site coordination, quality supervision, and safety management were carried out in a coordinated manner, with orderly progress in pole erection, lighting debugging, and other construction stages. Project quality was strictly controlled, and traffic guidance during construction was implemented simultaneously to minimize the impact on the daily lives and production of nearby residents, ensuring the project was completed on time and with quality.
Now, every night, the streetlights along the 5.5-kilometer road shine like the brightest stars in the night sky, illuminating the Third Bridge extension road and lighting the way for residents returning home at night. This has greatly reduced road traffic safety risks, making travel safer and more reassuring for the public.
Recently, Shangdu Subdistrict has continued to advance rural road lighting projects. In addition to the Third Bridge extension road, lighting projects in Xiadu Community, Zheshe Village, Shangshi Village, and other villages (communities) are being carried out simultaneously, with an expected additional installation of over 100 solar streetlights. At the same time, the subdistrict will carry out routine inspections and maintenance of the newly installed streetlights, establish a regular repair and upkeep mechanism to ensure long-term stable operation, and continuously enhance the local residents' sense of fulfillment, happiness, and security.
