Groundbreaking of the Long-Awaited '2nd Public Parking Lot' at Guri Traditional Market

[Asia Economy (Guri) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Guri City in Gyeonggi Province is constructing the 2nd Public Parking Building within Guri Traditional Market.

On the 16th, Guri City announced that on the 15th, it held a groundbreaking ceremony for the 'Guri Traditional Market 2nd Public Parking Building' at 374 Sutaek-dong, behind the KT Guri Branch.

The parking building will be built on a site area of 2,832㎡ with three underground floors and four above-ground floors. Major facilities include a parking lot with 335 spaces, as well as warehouses, a joint sales area, and public restrooms.

Although the city built a public parking lot within the traditional market in 2012, it only had 119 parking spaces, causing inconvenience to citizens visiting the traditional market and nearby stores due to insufficient parking.

To resolve this, the city planned the construction of the 2nd public parking building.

This project was selected in 2018 by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups' 'Traditional Market Parking Environment Improvement Project' and proceeded after receiving national subsidies in October of the same year.

After completing design and administrative procedures such as environmental impact assessments and construction technology reviews, construction and service contracts were signed last month.

Guri Mayor Ahn Seung-nam stated, "Once the 2nd public parking building, a long-awaited project of Guri Traditional Market, is completed, it will provide convenience to citizens and merchants using this place, improve the pleasant shopping environment, revitalize the market economy that has been stagnant due to the impact of COVID-19, and greatly contribute to the activation of the surrounding alleyway commercial district."
