Creating Dapsimni Street with Beautiful Signboards

Dongdaemun-gu to Promote 'Dapsimni Sageori Area Signboard Improvement Project'... Over 430 Million Won Invested... 170 Businesses' Signboards Targeted... Up to 2.5 Million Won Support per Business for One Signboard Replacement

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor Yu Deok-yeol) is promoting the 'Dapsimni Intersection Area Signboard Improvement Project' to create a pleasant urban landscape.

Until last month, the district conducted a full survey of 459 signboards at 306 businesses located along approximately 1,100 meters around Dapsimni Intersection, Dapsimni-ro, and Jeonnong-ro, selecting 170 old or non-compliant signboards under the Outdoor Advertising Act as targets for improvement.

From this month until October this year, the district will invest a total of about 430 million KRW to improve the selected signboards.

One signboard per business will be replaced, with support of up to 2.5 million KRW per business. To save energy, the signboards will be replaced with 'LED signboards.'

The district plans to form a 'Signboard Improvement Residents Committee' this month, including store owners, building owners, and the commercial association, and after signing a project promotion agreement with the committee, the project will be carried out centered on the residents committee.

The district expects this signboard improvement project to enhance the city's aesthetics and improve the readability of signboards.

Yu Deok-yeol, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, stated, "The cleaner signboards will attract more residents to visit," and added, "We will accelerate efforts to create a more pleasant and safe street environment through this project."
