Recently, to remove potential safety hazards in public areas and ensure residents’ safe travel at night, Yiyuan Community under Yumin Subdistrict, Qingtongxia City, Wuzhong, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region has steadily carried out the initiative of "Deliver Good Results at the First Instance". The community completed lighting upgrading and renovation for Yixinyuan Square, lighting up residents’ nightlife through law-based governance.
Yixinyuan Square serves as a key venue for local residents to relax and work out. Previously, the square suffered from aging lighting facilities and dim illumination, with multiple unlit blind zones. This not only undermined residents’ experience of nighttime leisure activities, but also posed significant safety risks for the elderly, children and other vulnerable groups, and could even lead to personal injury disputes. Eliminating lighting blind spots and safeguarding public safety became a common demand raised by residents.
The community responds promptly to residents’ appeals. Yiyuan Community included the square lighting renovation on its priority livelihood project list and pushed forward the work in accordance with laws, regulations and democratic decision-making procedures. Community staff conducted multiple on-site surveys. Taking into account the square layout and residents’ activity routes, they formulated a scientific lighting plan, specifying exact locations and construction standards for newly added street lamps and light strips. The renovation project meets safety standards as well as residents’ practical needs.
The lighting project of Yixinyuan Square has been successfully completed after construction. Newly installed street lamps stand in neat rows. Soft and bright lighting has completely eliminated nighttime blind zones and effectively guaranteed safe travel for residents. Meanwhile, ambient light strips have been tastefully installed on pavilions and covered corridors in the square, beautifying the community and creating a warm atmosphere. Now, the elderly can stroll and children can play freely without worrying about poor visibility, and the square is brimming with vitality once again.
