A \”stumbling door\” becomes a \”smooth door\”

How to get warm and thoughtful responses to residents’ urgent needs? Recently, the northwest gate of Changbai No. 3 Village, Xincun Street, Yanji was changed from a \”stumbling gate\” to a \”smooth gate\” to demonstrate the effectiveness of diverse participation in community governance. Since then, it has been much easier for residents to enter and exit, and they feel a full sense of gain.

\”There was originally a horizontal bar under the rotating leaf of this revolving door, which was more than 10 centimeters above the ground. It was a bit difficult to cross it as I got older.\” In the past, Aunt Zhang had to endure it every time she entered and exited the northwest gate of Changbai Third Village. Keep complaining. It turns out that in the 1990s, in order to protect the property safety of community residents, Changbai Village No. 3 installed a relatively narrow revolving door common in old Shanghai at the community gate. Due to the special geographical conditions of the community, residents only enter and exit through the revolving door. The community will only open the gate when large vehicles enter or exit.

Before the renovation

Times have changed, and the original rotating \”security door\” has become a problem for community residents. \”When the elderly go in and out, they need to hold on to the door frame and lift their feet. Children can easily trip and fall when they go in and out. Even adults who carry too many things will bump when they go in and out,\” said Mr. Wang, a resident.

Integrating barrier-free construction into the construction process of \”Beautiful Homes\” is the pursuit of Yanji Xincun Street. However, the community will only have a \”beautiful home\” construction plan at the end of the year. By then, the community gate can be updated to allow residents to travel without worries. But right now, everyone has an urgent need to travel \”without stumbling\”…

Can we replace the gate first and then start building a \”beautiful home\” by the end of the year? The reporter learned from the Changbai Third Village Neighborhood Committee that doing so will increase costs. \”We inviteThe property management company came to the door and found out that the cost of replacing a new door alone is more than 10,000 yuan, which is relatively expensive. However, the construction of the \’Beautiful Home\’ will begin at the end of the year, and replacing the doors in advance may cause waste. ”

As early as the beginning of the year, the neighborhood committee through the “Four Hundred” visits learned about residents’ travel needs and suggestions for transforming the revolving door. The staff also hung signs by the door to remind everyone Pay attention to your steps, and go to the door to remind people to pay attention to safety when entering and exiting peak times on rainy days.

After comprehensive consideration, first of all, the existing rotation of the community The renovation of the revolving door is the lowest cost and most efficient measure. With the visits and surveys of the neighborhood committee and the discussion of the community residents, the revolving door renovation plan was carried out in an orderly manner. The neighborhood committee held several coordination meetings with residents\’ representatives at the same time. The property owners committee and the property management company conducted many discussions and on-site inspections on the feasibility and safety of the northwest gate renovation on the original gate, and controlled the renovation. On the day of completion, all the residents who came in and out applauded and praised the project. During a follow-up visit, the Changbai No. 3 Neighborhood Committee discovered that the newly renovated revolving doors did not have rain shelters, and residents had to close their umbrellas in rainy days. Therefore, the neighborhood committee found an enthusiastic tenant, Mr. Zhao, who helped build an awning to protect the door from wind and rain.

Innovative governance from the \”community steward\” model, to break the wall along the street and install \”good neighbor ramps\” to solve the problem of eight steps… The good neighbor spirit of \”quality, vitality, warmth, and good governance\” is very strong in Yanji Xincun Street. In the future, Yanji Xincun Street will dig deeper and extend the concept of \”good neighborliness\”. The connotation and denotation of \”Yanji\”, and continue to advance towards the people\’s yearning for a better life.
