近日，商丘市夏邑县实验中学门前，一位学生家长自费100多万修建了两座人行天桥。此事经过报道后，一部分的网友点赞家长做好事，另一部分网友则提出质疑，个人真的能“随意”建设公共设施？

Recently, in front of the experimental middle school in Xiayi County, Shangqiu City, a student's parent built two footbridges at his own expense. After the report, some netizens praised the parents for doing a good job, while other netizens questioned, can individuals really "arbitrarily" build public facilities?

4月23日上午，大象新闻记者联系到夏邑县政府，新闻处主任夏天表示，学生家长孟女士属于个人捐赠，出资建设的天桥手续齐全，合规合理合法。

On the morning of April 23, the elephant news reporter contacted Xiayi county government. Xia Xia, director of the information department, said that Ms. Meng, the student's parent, was a personal donation. The overpass funded by the student had complete procedures and was in compliance with the law.

出资修建人行天桥的孟女士表示，夏邑县实验中学门前的孔祖大道是当地一条主干道，平时车流量非常大而且车速也快，她建桥就是为了让学生们在通行孔祖大道时，能更加安全。“城管局、电业局、住建局这些部门审批都过了。”孟女士向记者出示了建设两座天桥所有的相关手续。

Ms. Meng, who funded the construction of pedestrian overpass, said that kongzu Avenue in front of Xiayi experimental middle school is a local main road. Usually, the traffic flow is very large and the speed is fast. She built the bridge to make students safer when passing through kongzu Avenue“ The Urban Management Bureau, the electric power bureau and the housing and Urban Rural Development Bureau have all passed the examination and approval. " Ms. Meng presented to reporters all the relevant procedures for the construction of two overpasses.

“建设天桥其实是多方因素，一定有人支持有人反对。审批通过，是相关部门经过各个方面的考虑后，才允许动工建设，不是说谁想建就能建的。”夏天介绍，目前天桥正处于施工当中，接送学生高峰期造成的短暂交通拥堵情况，随着天桥的建成，会有所改善。

"The construction of overpasses is actually a multi factor process. There must be support and opposition. The approval is only after the relevant departments have considered all aspects before they are allowed to start construction. It does not mean that anyone who wants to build can build it. " According to Xia Xia, at present, the overpass is under construction. With the completion of the overpass, the temporary traffic congestion caused by the rush hour of picking up students will be improved.

还有一些网友质疑，为何不在学校门口直接设置红绿灯，非要花百十万修建一座人行天桥？夏邑县住建局局长尤保剑称，距离学校北边200米左右就有红绿灯，为了保证整条道路的顺畅通行，每个红绿灯之间必须保持一定的行车距离，“孔祖大道车流量非常大，天桥的建设在一定程度上是保障了学生们的出行安全，是好事。”

Some netizens also questioned why it is not necessary to set up traffic lights directly at the school gate and spend a million yuan to build a pedestrian overpass? You Baojian, director of the Bureau of housing and urban rural development of Xiayi County, said that there are traffic lights about 200 meters away from the north of the school. In order to ensure the smooth passage of the whole road, a certain driving distance must be maintained between each traffic light. "The traffic flow of kongzu Avenue is very large, and the construction of overpass to a certain extent ensures the travel safety of students, which is a good thing."
