New Hanoi's pedestrian street plan haltedThe opening of the Trinh Cong Son Pedestrian Street near the West Lake in Hanoi will be delayed until October due to opposition from local people. Brick kiosks being builtTrinh Con Son Street is near the lotus pond and Ho Tay Water Park so it is expected to attract a large number of visitors. In order to pedestrianise the street, the local authorities are building brick kiosks for various activities and souvenir shops. According to the locals, they approved of the pedestrian street idea but they are more concerned about the implementation and how their daily lives are affected, especially pollution and social order problems. The opening of Trinh Cong Son, Au Co 432 Alleyway and Lac Long Quang 612 Alleway will be pushed back from August 19 to October.
