“Originally I wanted to relieve Shen Boyang, but this helped to prove that the so-called new political ideas are fabrications promoted by the city government. Are they escorting or obstructing?” Yang Peixuan pointed out that according to Beijie’s explanation, the Sky Bridge in Civic Avenue is a specific plan proposed in conjunction with the West District Gateway and the Taipei Corridor East Extension Plan to address issues such as complex underground connection routes and prohibition of pedestrian traffic at some intersections. Yang asked, which part of space does Shen Boyang want to sew? Should the elevated road be demolished or the parking lot beneath Civic Avenue filled in?

Yang Peixi pointed out that if Shen’s team believes that the Sky Bridge plan is a “north-south suture”, then it should explain how Shen Boyang’s ideas differ from the city’s existing planning. “While criticizing Jiang Wanyan on the construction of the city government, he also promoted a policy direction similar to Shen Boyang’s new political ideas. The Shen team exposed the performance of the city government, which reminded the person who should most compensate for it, that is Shen Boyang.”

Yang Piyu said that in the past, it was the railways that blocked traffic between the north and south of Taipei. After the railway went underground, traffic opened up between north and south and traffic congestion was improved. “Citizen Avenue is exactly the trail that connects the north and south of Taipei. However, Shen Boyang described it as a border cutting off the city. The understanding of Citizen Avenue is entirely the imagination of outsiders.”

Yang questioned, “From housing and child care to the current North-South connection, Shen Boyang’s political views are highly overlapping with the city’s current policies. I want to thank Shen’s team for explaining the city’s construction, but also want to remind Shen Boyang that putting it forward with a different term will not turn it into a new urban vision.”
