The use of the pavements is commonplace whether day or night.
Some streets in District 1 which faced the strict clear-out early this year have returned to their previous state.
Bien Duong 3 Restaurant uses the pavement on Nguyen Thai Hoc Street for their business every evening, starting from 8 pm. The restaurant was previously fined for this violation following the instruction of Doan Ngoc Hai, Vice Chairman of District 1 People’s Committee.
Chairs and tables of A Ti Restaurant on Hoang Sa Street are on the pavement of Hoang Sa Street. Meanwhile, on Vo Van Kiet Street, a restaurant occupies the pavement to serve their customers.
Tran The Thuan, Chairman of District 1 People’s Committee, admitted the problem, adding that this has tended to expand on many different local pavements, including Le Chan, Nguyen Dinh Chieu, Nguyen Binh Khiem, Nguyen Hue and Bui Vien streets.
