Mayor’s Remarks:
1. Pedestrians are defined as people walking on the road. Policies centered on improving pedestrian safety are crucial and must be promoted by the municipal government. We take traffic accidents very seriously and discuss such accidents during our monthly traffic safety meeting. I ask concerned departments to propose road and traffic signal plans and enforcement approaches aimed at providing safe spaces for pedestrians to walk in. The Bureau of Transportation should consider local conditions when designing pedestrian-friendly traffic lines and signals and spare no effort in promoting these implementations.
2. To prevent people from neighboring counties and municipalities from illegally dumping waste in Tainan City, I ask the Environmental Protection Bureau to ramp up its investigation of illegal waste disposal. Also, I ask Deputy Secretary-general Chiu to lead a task force, collaborate with prosecutors and law enforcement, and accelerate investigations. Let's work together to protect our environment and prevent illegal waste from affecting citizens' living quality and Tainan's appearance.
