Jangseong-gun Opens Public Parking Lot Next to Eup Bus Terminal

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Jo Hangyu] Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 8th that it has completed the construction of a 90-space public parking lot near the Jangseong-eup public bus terminal and opened it to residents.

The area around the public bus terminal in the town is densely populated with shops and houses and experiences heavy traffic, making it a congested area. In particular, severe parking difficulties have caused inconvenience to residents' daily lives and the operation of local businesses.

Since 2018, Jangseong-gun has been promoting an urban park-style parking lot project in the area with a budget of 4.5 billion KRW (1.8 billion KRW from the national government).

The project included creating 90 parking spaces, rest areas, walking paths, and a flea market plaza. Construction began and was completed on the 3rd. The county decided to open it early before the Chuseok holiday to enhance residents' convenience.

Currently, the paving work has been completed, and considering the climate, landscaping and planting work will be carried out between September and October.

Yoo Doo-seok, the governor of Jangseong-gun, said, "In the past, the site was a privately owned paid parking lot with low usage, failing to fulfill its function. We expect that the creation of a park-style public parking lot through rediscovery of its value will solve parking difficulties and improve the quality of life for residents."

Meanwhile, Jangseong-gun plans to create a second parking lot with 40 spaces on the opposite side to expand residents' convenience and revitalize the local commercial district.
