107 Public and Resident Priority Parking Lots Open Free During Chuseok Holiday... 24-Hour Control Room Also Operated... Temporary Opening of Elementary, Middle, and High School Playgrounds and Parking Lots, Enhanced Disinfection and Safety Inspections for Village Buses

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dongjak-gu (Mayor Changwoo Lee) will open public and resident-priority parking lots in the area free of charge for five days from September 30 to October 4 during the Chuseok holiday period.

The targeted parking lots include four public parking lots in the area: ▲the district office annex ▲Boramae Park East Gate ▲in front of Boramae Hospital ▲Dongjak Gaetmaeul, as well as 103 resident-priority parking lots. However, Kkachisan parking lot, which has parking barriers installed, is excluded.

The district plans to organize a control room and operate it 24 hours a day to mediate inconveniences between existing permit holders and users caused by the free opening and to prevent various safety accidents.

Additionally, to assist residents in residential areas with insufficient parking spaces, from September 30 to October 4, elementary, middle, and high school playgrounds and parking lots in the area will be temporarily opened.

The hours are from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and operation will be flexible depending on each school, so for more detailed information such as opening dates and parking facility usage confirmation, please refer to the district website.

Furthermore, to prevent the spread of COVID-19 during the period before and after the holiday when resident movement is high, disinfection and safety inspections of village buses will be strengthened.

During the holiday period, buses will adhere to dispatch times and operate normally, with cleaning and disinfection of the interior and exterior of buses after each operation.

Also, from September 25 to October 5, for 11 days, temporary parking and stopping will be allowed on roads around six traditional markets including Seongdae Market, Sadang Market, and Yeongdo Market to help the convenience of residents using the markets.

Changwoo Lee, Mayor of Dongjak-gu, said, “During this Chuseok holiday period, we will strive to strengthen quarantine, inspect the safety of traffic facilities, and improve parking convenience so that residents can spend the holiday safely and comfortably from COVID-19.”

Last year, during Seol and Chuseok, the district also provided parking convenience to residents by operating four public parking lots and 115 resident-priority parking lots free of charge.
