The list of routes has just been sent by the three districts to the Department of Transport and related units for review, before agreeing on implementation.

In District 1, there are 52 sidewalks that are eligible for partial use for business activities, trading goods and 12 for paid parking. These are streets with sidewalks 3m or more wide, in which the business and trading area will be arranged on the residential side and at least 1.5m will be left for pedestrians, continuously.

Specifically, the routes proposed by the district are: Bui Thi Xuan, Cao Ba Quat, Chu Manh Trinh, Co Bac, Cong Quynh, De Tham, Dien Bien Phu, Dinh Tien Hoang, Hai Ba Trung, Ham Nghi, Ho Tung Mau, Le Thanh Ton, Ly Tu Trong, Nguyen Cu Trinh, Hoang Sa...

In District 10, the locality also reviewed and proposed a list of 28 streets with sidewalks 3 meters wide or more that are eligible for partial use to organize toll-free non-traffic activities, such as: Ngo Gia Tu, Nguyen Tri Phuong, Ly Thai To, Hung Vuong, Vinh Vien, Ba Hat, Le Hong Phong, Su Van Hanh, Nguyen Chi Thanh, Tran Nhan Ton, Ngo Quyen, Dao Duy Tu, Ba Thang Hai, Ly Thuong Kiet...

Similarly, District 11 also has 17 wide sidewalk routes, included in the list of routes that can organize free parking for two-wheeled vehicles and one route for paid parking, such as: Ba Thang Hai, Hong Bang, Minh Phung, Hoa Binh, Lac Long Quan...

Previously, in July last year, Ho Chi Minh City issued a new decision on the management and temporary use of part of the roadway and sidewalk, replacing the old decision that had been in effect for 15 years. Based on this, the City People's Council issued a fee to apply to each case of sidewalk and roadway use, effective from the beginning of this year. Up to now, districts in the area are reviewing and making a list of routes that are eligible to organize fee-based activities.
