[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Guro-gu (Mayor Lee Sung) is significantly improving the pedestrian environment.
On the 10th, Guro-gu announced that it will carry out a pedestrian environment improvement project to provide residents with a more convenient and pleasant road environment and to prevent traffic accidents.
This pedestrian environment improvement project will be conducted in a total of five areas: ▲ Guro 3-dong Namguro Station Exit 1 ▲ Guro 5-dong Meokja Alley ▲ Gocheok 2-dong Gyeongin-ro 35-gil ▲ Sugung-dong Buil-ro 15-gil ▲ Sugung-dong Ori-ro 22-na-gil area. Guro-gu selected the project sites considering the number of accidents, pedestrian demand, and the degree of road deterioration.
For each section, the entire road including sidewalks, roadways, and gutters (shallow ditches made at the boundary between sidewalks and roadways for drainage) will be refurbished. Installation or replacement of traffic safety facilities such as LED safety signs, speed warning signs, and road surface markings will also be carried out. Additionally, anti-slip pavement for safety and stamped pavement considering urban aesthetics will be implemented.
Guro-gu plans to complete all construction by September this year with a total investment of 1.988 billion KRW.
To enhance the project’s effectiveness and resident satisfaction, expert and local residents’ opinions will be actively collected during the project implementation process. Coordination with the National Police Agency will also continue to ensure smooth traffic flow.
