在上个月的年会上,多伦多中区唐人街华埠商业促进区(CBIA)向会员宣布了价值近20万元的创新项目,包括:视频监控、街道保安巡逻、小公园、主题壁画、网站改进和巷道改造。
 
During the annual general meeting (AGM) last month, The Chinatown Business Improvement Area (CBIA) announced major innovative programs for its business members totaling close to $200K. These programs are identified as: Surveillance video camera program, Street guard Patrol Program, Parklets Program, Themed Mural Project, Website Improvement Project, and Laneway Project.

现在,我再介绍一下剩下的项目:
 
Let us look at the other programs and projects that constitute an initiative-taking move for the CBIA:
 
2022小公园:临时搭建的小公园是鼓励人们聚集、坐下和享受周围环境的一种做法。它可以繁荣经济,可为人行道狭窄的地方让人们有更多的交流空间。
 
The 2022 Parklet Program: Temporary parklets are creative structures that encourage people to gather, sit, and enjoy their surroundings. They are an economical and innovative solution to provide more space for people in areas that have limited sidewalk space.
 
在过去的两年里,CBIA在唐人街周围建立了小公园,供游客休息和享用他们购买的食物。今年夏天,CBIA在中国城中心购物中心和圣安德鲁街设置了小公园。艺术家用画在木板上的壁画将用于小公园的地方围起来,并在里面设置休闲座椅。
 
Over the last two years, the CBIA put up parklets within the Chinatown area for visitors to rest and enjoy their purchased food. This Summer, CBIA installed the parklets at the China Town Centre Mall and St. Andrew Street. Artists painted the wooden boards with murals that formed the perimeters of the parklets and installed seating benches within the boundaries.
 
明年,小公园计划将继续进行,艺术家们将为这些小公园进行新的设计。
 
Next year, the parklet program will continue and artists will produce innovative designs for these structures.
 
主题壁画:CBIA聘请了一家承包商向会员提供涂鸦清除服务。一旦有人报告,承包商将在48小时内清除涂鸦。然而,这是一个重复性的工作,画涂鸦的人会反复在某些地方留下“杰作”。
 
Themed Mural Project: CBIA members receive graffiti removal services from CBIA through a contractor. Once noticed through weekly checks and/or reported to the office, storefront graffitis are removed by the contractor within 48 hours. It is however a repetitive process, and the vandals repeatedly “tagged” the same areas.
 
为了预防涂鸦,CBIA将收集涂鸦统计数据和可治理的方法,以保持街景整洁。一个有效的做法市在那些常被涂鸦的地方画上壁画。还有一个方案是安装涂漆的乙烯基板来覆盖常被涂鸦的表面。
 
This new project will research graffiti statistics and available methods to discourage or prevent tagging of painted surfaces and keep the streetscape tidy and clean. Possibilities include painting murals that have proven to eliminate “tagging”. There is also a solution with installing painted vinyl sheets to cover surfaces that are prone to graffiti creations.

 
网站改进:CBIA 网站是鼓励和吸引人们“去唐人街看看”的重要手段。是否去唐人街走走,年轻人一般要先看一下唐人街的网站。该网站提供有关唐人街的信息,包括食品、商品和服务和商店的目录。
 
Website Improvement Project: The CBIA website is an essential element in the “Chinatown visiting experience”. Young visitors want to plan their visits to Chinatown through browsing the web site first. The website carries information about Chinatown and directories of shops providing food, goods, and services.
 
近半年来,该网站对网民的询问反馈很慢。 CBIA决定对网站的软件和结构进行升级,使其再次成为访问者的有效工具。
 
Over the last half year, the web site has been slow responding to netizens’ inquiries. CBIA has decided to pursue an upgrade to the software and structure of the website to make it a more efficient tool for the users once again.
 
巷道改造:登打士街以北有一条没有起名的巷道,需要维修和修复。多伦多市准备在未来一两年内重新给这条巷道铺路。巷道内经常有人倒垃圾,垃圾桶乱放,墙上有很多涂鸦。警方已发现这个巷道有安全问题,照明也很差。
 
Laneway Project: There is an unnamed laneway north of Dundas Street that needs repairs and rehabilitation. The City of Toronto is prepared to repave the laneway over the next year or two. There has been dumping of garbage in the laneway; garbage bins in a disorganized condition with graffiti painted on the walls. Police have identified security issues, and lighting is poor.
 
作为改善街景的一部分,CBIA将聘请顾问并与市政府合作制定方案,解决这条巷道脏乱差的问题。
 
As part of the streetscape improvement, CBIA will hire consultants and work with the city to produce solutions to make this laneway a clean and safe environment for Chinatown businesses and residents.

 
新冠疫情迫使CBIA的项目放慢实施。随着以上项目开始实施,中区多唐街将会更清洁、更安全,也将会有更多游客参观唐人街,体验这里的文化和历史。
 
The pandemic slowed down all the initiatives of the CBIA planners. With the fresh start, these plans will make the Toronto Chinatown a cleaner, safer place for all its businesses and residents. More visitors will then visit Chinatown as well and experience its bountiful offerings.
