(HNMO) - Since the evening of April 8, the Hanoi City Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board has been moving and cutting down trees on Kim Dong Street, Giap Bat Ward, Hoang Mai District.
The above work was carried out under License No. 01/GP-UBND (dated April 4, 2023) of the People's Committee of Hoang Mai District. It clearly states that the Hanoi City Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board is allowed to move and cut down 140 trees (of which 114 trees are moved and 26 trees are cut down) on Kim Dong Street.
The reason for moving and cutting down the 140 shade trees on the above street is that they are within the construction scope of the underpass construction investment project at the intersection of Ring Road 2.5 and Giai Phong Street, Hoang Mai District, which has been approved by the Hanoi City Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board.
Previously, on January 17, 2023, the Department of Construction issued Official Dispatch No. 369/SXD-HT to the Hanoi People's Committee on the plan to handle shade trees and shrubs within the construction scope of the underpass construction investment project at the intersection of Ring Road 2.5 with Giai Phong Street (Hoang Mai District).
The document clearly stated that because the project construction area is located at the intersection between Kim Dong Street and Giai Phong Street, the construction area of Kim Dong Street is 460m long and the traffic organization expands the roadway on the left side of Giai Phong Street to serve the construction (in the direction from Ring Road 2 to Giap Bat bus station) with a length of about 110m on each side from Kim Dong Street, during the construction and traffic organization, it is necessary to relocate 174 shade trees, 20 bushes and 800m2 of bamboo grass. The document also specifically stated the locations to replant the trees after relocation.
After that, the Office of the City People's Committee issued Official Dispatch No. 1085/VP-DT (dated February 6, 2023) on the plan to handle trees within the construction scope of the underpass construction investment project at the intersection of Ring Road 2.5 and Giai Phong Street, Hoang Mai District. It clearly stated: The City People's Committee received Official Dispatch No. 369/SXD-HT dated January 17, 2023 from the Department of Construction on the plan to handle shade trees and shrubs within the construction scope of the underpass construction investment project at the intersection of Ring Road 2.5 and Giai Phong Street.
Regarding this, the Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee has directed: Agree on the policy for the proposal and recommendation of the Department of Construction in Official Dispatch No. 369/SXD-HT dated January 17, 2023; assign the Department of Construction to inspect, review, and guide the People's Committee of Hoang Mai District and related units to implement in accordance with the correct procedures and regulations. The People's Committee of Hoang Mai District is responsible for coordinating with related units to do a good job of propaganda and information on the relocation, felling, and replanting of trees to implement the project, creating consensus among the people.
On February 23, 2023, the Department of Construction issued Official Dispatch No. 1020/SXD-HT on coordination in granting permits for cutting down and moving trees and agreeing on the location of replanting shrubs under the underpass construction investment project at the intersection of Ring Road 2.5 and Giai Phong Road. In particular, the People's Committee of Hoang Mai District is requested to base on the project's construction progress to grant appropriate permits for cutting down and moving trees.
According to Nguyen Van Duc, Head of the Urban Management Department of Hoang Mai District, the relocation and felling of trees has been carried out by relevant levels, sectors and units in accordance with the city's direction. The People's Committee of Hoang Mai District has directed the People's Committee of Giap Bat Ward to carry out the work in accordance with regulations.
On December 2, 2022, at the headquarters of Giap Bat Ward People's Committee, the Hanoi City Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board - the investor - coordinated with Giap Bat Ward People's Committee to organize a conference "Consulting opinions on moving and cutting down trees during the implementation of the project to build an underpass at the intersection between Ring Road 2.5 and Giai Phong Street, Hoang Mai District". The consultation session had the presence of leaders of the Ward People's Committee, representatives of the Ward Police and Heads of residential groups in Giap Bat Ward. Giap Bat Ward People's Committee has also deployed propaganda methods so that people can understand the policy and support it.
It is known that, based on the current survey, most of the milk flower, purple-flower, dracontomelon, mango, and rosewood trees on Kim Dong Street that are growing normally will be relocated and planted in other locations; mainly the old and diseased areca palm trees will be cut down.
