[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dongjak-gu (Mayor Changwoo Lee) is promoting the "2020 Attached Parking Lot Sharing Project" until December to alleviate parking difficulties.

This project was prepared to utilize idle parking spaces by supporting building owners who open their attached parking lots for residents to use during low-demand hours with parking facility improvement costs and incentives.

The application targets are facilities with secured nighttime opening demand such as schools, churches, and general buildings. However, apartments can apply even if they open only during the daytime.

Last year, the district discovered many open facilities near Sangdo-dong, a residential area, opening 91 spaces, and has secured a total of 780 parking spaces across 26 locations so far.

This year, the district plans to discover shareable parking spaces and open more than 75 spaces.

First, to encourage active participation from building owners, the opening criteria were relaxed from a minimum of 10 spaces to 5 spaces.

The district supports parking facility improvement costs such as barriers, CCTV, and pavement marking painting for building owners who commit to opening at least 5 parking spaces for more than 2 years.

The support amount is up to 20 million KRW for nighttime opening and up to 25 million KRW for full-day (24-hour) opening.

Also, support for maintenance costs is strengthened upon contract extension, with up to 5 million KRW for the first extension and up to 2 million KRW for two or more extensions.

To expand participation of large buildings subject to traffic inducement charges, the district offers up to a 5% reduction in traffic inducement charges based on opening performance.

For parking lot sharing applications and other detailed information, contact the Parking Management Division (☎820-9818).

Additionally, in June and November, the district plans to inspect the maintenance status of a total of 26 open parking lots with 780 spaces, including ▲4 schools (78 spaces) ▲18 general buildings (622 spaces) ▲4 apartments (80 spaces).

Kim Pilsun, head of the Parking Management Division, said, "Through this project, we will resolve the shortage of parking spaces and create an environment where residents can park comfortably."

The district plans to continuously expand parking spaces in residential areas this year by installing resident-priority parking lines and carrying out fence removal projects, securing 55 locations and 70 spaces.
