Yining proposed to the Bank team a package of urban transport investments, including the construction of new roads and improvement of existing roads, the provision of public transport infrastructure and services, and the improvement of traffic management and road safety.
According to the proposal and the Bank team#s assessment, it is proposed that the focus of the project is to provide the basic urban transport infrastructure and equipments to support the socialand economic development of Yining, meanwhile introducing modern traffic management concept and techniques to ensure the sustainability of development.
Yining´s existing central city area has a relatively adequate urban road network, but their functioning is being compromised by the severe deterioration and the lack of Non MotorizedTransport (NMT) facilities or auxiliary facilities such as lighting and greening. It is recommended that these roads should be rehabilitated to improve the living conditions of the local residents.
The two new development zones to the east and west of the existing city area are rapidly growing, thus new roads are needed to support their development. However, the road function should be well-defined to determine the cross section design instead of simply building wide roads as proposed by the city.
Public transport service in Yining is far from being attractive and convenient. There are only 14 bus lines in operation and 299 buses in total, many of which are rather decrepit. Insufficient public transport facilities are another constraint to the further development of public transport in Yining. Moreover, the city currently has no advanced systems for bus ticketing, dispatching or operation.
Traffic management capacity is relatively low, leading to the under-utilization of the existing road capacity and causing safety issues. Even with a small number of vehicle ownership of about 50,000, the city is starting to face congestions. A high fatality rate of 107 fatalities per million population is registered in 2010.
In response to these challenges, the Bank revised the proposal with Yining and tentatively agreed that the project will include the following 4 components.
