[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dongjak-gu (Mayor Changwoo Lee) is promoting a street environment improvement project in the Sadang 4-dong urban regeneration New Deal target area to provide local residents with a safe and convenient street environment.

Sadang 4-dong was selected last year as a New Deal project site by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and is conducting a pilot project worth a total of 26 billion KRW over three years until 2023 under the vision of "3 Generations 100 Years! A Smart Village with Stories of People Living."

This project will invest a total of 1.2 billion KRW, starting basic design and detailed design from this month, to be completed by May next year, followed by construction to be finished by the first half of 2022.

The targets are three main roads frequently used by residents: ▲ Main road maintenance (Sadang-ro 16-gil, 800m) ▲ Ginkgo tree theme street creation (Sadang-ro 14-gil, 780m) ▲ Safe school route creation for Namseong Middle School (Sadang-ro 20-na-gil, 480m).

First, the district plans to improve the aging urban landscape by introducing solar signage techniques on building exterior walls around Sadang-ro 16-gil, the entrance road from Namseong Station intersection toward Sadang 4-dong, where traffic volume is high, and also plans to install green smart benches equipped with LED electronic displays powered by solar energy.

Solar signage refers to a new concept facility applying solar cells and transparent displays.

Sadang-ro 14-gil, adjacent to Namseong Station alley market, will be developed into a ginkgo tree theme street linking natural and historical resources such as Dongjak Chung-hyo-gil and the Lee Jeong-yeong tomb of Hyo Gan Gong, with the installation of signposts containing village stories.

Also, Sadang-ro 20-na-gil, used as the main school route for Namseong Middle School students, will be developed into a safe school route applying techniques such as stamped road pavement that allows vehicles to reduce speed autonomously.

Along with this, the district opened the Urban Regeneration Field Support Center in September last year as part of the Sadang 4-dong urban regeneration New Deal project, and plans to complete the Kiwoom Center, remodeled from the lower space of Noru Children's Park to expand living SOC, by the second half of next year.

Furthermore, the district aims to complete the construction of a public parking lot utilizing the underground space of Kkumdoli Children's Park by the second half of 2022.

Park Beomjin, Head of the Strategic Projects Division, said, "Through this street environment improvement, we will do our best to provide local residents with a safe and convenient living environment while simultaneously creating a distinctive urban landscape unique to Sadang 4-dong."
