The Beimen Residential Area's urban village renovation project, Yuxin West Garden, was officially delivered in 2025, with resettlement allocations proceeding gradually. The new residential area is situated within the old residential community at Lane 2373, Rongle East Road, sharing a common entrance, exit, and supporting facilities with the older section. Following the completion of the new area, stark contrasts emerged, including inconsistent property management, traffic flow issues, a lack of surface-level non-motorized vehicle parking spaces, and cracks in the old perimeter wall. Confronted with these challenges, the Beimen Residents Committee acted swiftly, actively coordinating resources from various stakeholders to fully promote the integrated renovation of the old and new areas, striving to create a harmonious and livable new community for residents.
The first step was unifying property management. As the old community was managed by Rongsheng Property, while the new area's developer selected Shanghai Mingjie Property through public bidding, having two different providers for shared facilities like the entrance and waste disposal rooms created management difficulties. Under the guidance of the Subdistrict Urban Construction Center, Rongsheng Property withdrew from Lane 2373, Rongle East Road, in April 2025, with Mingjie Property taking over management services for the entire area. The second step was standardizing parking fees. Through multi-party coordination, surface parking fees in the new area were adjusted to match those of the surrounding old community, and a shared parking space system was implemented, effectively resolving parking issues for both sections.
After residents moved into the new area, increased pedestrian and vehicle traffic raised concerns about分流 and safety. Issues like insufficient electric bicycle charging facilities and parking spaces also needed addressing. The Beimen Party General Branch and Residents Committee held multiple resident forums and research meetings, where representatives and party members offered suggestions. Departments including the Subdistrict Development Office, Urban Construction Center, Asset Company, and Ronghe Company proactively engaged, conducting on-site "diagnostic" meetings and coordinating with the developer to discuss renovation plans.
Regarding traffic flow, Ronghe Company, alongside the design unit, conducted field surveys and considered resident feedback. They ultimately repaired a road depression caused by land subsidence and renovated the passage east of Building 6 near the entrance, establishing it as the main connecting route between the old and new areas. Guardrails were installed to separate pedestrians and vehicles. Simultaneously, the cracked wall along the passage was demolished and rebuilt, matching the color and style of the new area's walls. The new, sturdy wall significantly improved resident safety.
To address the lack of non-motorized vehicle charging facilities in the new area and periodic flooding issues near No. 46 Husong Road due to low-lying terrain, an idle plot beside No. 46 Husong Road was repurposed. Through coordination between the residents committee, property management, and subdistrict functional departments, charging piles for non-motorized vehicles were installed, and drainage ditches were excavated. This initiative effectively solved charging and parking problems while mitigating flooding during the rainy season. Furthermore, the renovation utilized unused corner spaces within the community, revitalizing existing areas by adding 10 new parking spaces. This alleviated parking pressure in the older section, resulting in more orderly and organized vehicle parking.
