More pedestrian streets in Hanoi Old Quarter proposed
Authorities of Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi, have proposed turning more local streets and lanes in the Old Quarter into pedestrian areas.
The list consists of Cau Go, Dinh Liet, Hang Be, Gia Ngu, O Quan Chuong and Dao Duy Tu streets and Cau Go and Trung Yen lanes.
The proposal will be submitted to municipal authorities for consideration.
Earlier, at a meeting to review the three-year pilot operation of Hanoi’s pedestrian streets, the city people’s committee noted that it was necessary to have more such streets in the south of the Old Quarter to ease problems around Hoan Kiem Lake.
