[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] A dark school route has been transformed by the hands of residents.

On the 9th, Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City announced that the Usan-dong Residents' Autonomous Committee held an event to light up the LED mural installed on the wall along the path connecting Songwoo Elementary School and Gwangsan Middle School.

This LED mural lighting project was promoted according to the resolution of the Usan-dong village council.

Fifty village designers selected through an open recruitment toured various parts of the village and proposed 25 agendas to the village council, including changing dangerous school routes and maintaining the Malmisan hiking trail. Among them, the installation of this LED mural lighting, which received the most support from residents, secured the resident participation budget.

Using the resident participation budget secured in this way, the Residents' Autonomous Committee installed LED murals of flowers, trees, butterflies, and more on the wall connecting Songwoo Elementary School and Gwangsan Middle School.

Park Ji-young (6th grade, Songwoo Elementary School) said, "I like being able to see pretty pictures every time I go to school, and it feels like the school I attend has become special."
