Comprehensive renovation and installation of elevators... The happiness of residents in this community is rising in a straight line
Recently, with the joint efforts of Shiwan Community, Sifan Second Neighborhood Committee, and residents in Zhuqiao Town, the installation of an elevator in Gate 63 of Lane 863 in Sifan Huayuan has been successfully facilitated, which is also the first elevator installation in the community. At present, the elevator is undergoing its final finishing work, and the residents in the building are about to bid farewell to the "climbing era".
It is understood that the installation of this elevator was facilitated during the comprehensive renovation project of Sifan Flower Garden. The community was built in the 1990s. In order to implement the 2023 People's Livelihood Project in Pudong New Area, various neighborhood committees of Sifan Huayuan gradually carried out comprehensive renovation projects for old communities since the end of last year. All of them have been completed so far.
"The people have no small matters," Sifan's various neighborhood committees participate in the comprehensive renovation and elevator installation projects of the community as masters through resident symposiums and other forms. Through the collective thinking of residents, the renovation is more in line with the people's hearts.
It is reported that the comprehensive renovation work of the old housing of the Sifan First, Second, and Third Neighborhood Committees started in November 2022 and was completed by the end of May this year, with a construction period of 7 months. The renovation involves 4 residential communities, with a total of 116 buildings and a total area of approximately 240000 square meters, benefiting nearly 2800 households. In addition to renovating and updating the roofs, walls, corridors and other areas of residential buildings, the project also renovated some public facilities such as air conditioning drip pipes and civil air defense hole covers in the community, ensuring the living environment of residents.

In the Jiangzhen community adjacent to Shiwan community, Haixia Jiayuan in the community has completed and delivered three elevators since 2021, with the joint efforts of the neighborhood committee, building owners, community, and town elevator office. Among them, one elevator was completed and delivered in 2022, and two elevators were completed and delivered in 2023.
Aunt Chen, a resident of the community, said, "My son lives on the fifth floor, and my waist is not good. It's very difficult to go to my son's house on a regular basis. After installing the elevator, I can directly sit on the fifth floor, which saves a lot of effort."
New corridor, new atmosphere. It is worth mentioning that the neighborhood committee and homeowners have arranged many small decorations in the elevator building together. Usually, people also place chairs in the corridor of the elevator, drink tea, and chat, which enhances the relationship between residents and neighbors.
It is understood that there are still four or five door opening owners in the community who have expressed their willingness to add elevators, and the neighborhood committee is conducting coordination and consultation work. At present, 17 elevators have been delivered in Zhuqiao Town. In addition, one elevator will be completed by September this year, and three elevators are under construction.

The renovation and installation of elevators in old residential areas is not only a crucial task at the doorstep of the people, but also a major concern for grassroots governance. Zhuqiao Town will continue to increase efforts in the renovation of old residential areas, adhere to the guidance of party building, diverse participation, and shared governance, and continue to promote the implementation of the People's Heart Project and practical projects for the people.
