Is There a 'Necktie Marathon Road' in Guro-gu?

Proposal Submission to District Office Real Estate Information Division by 17th for 491 Sections Assigned Road Name Addresses... Field Survey, Resident Opinion Collection, and Road Name Address Committee Review to Complete Designation by July This Year

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Guro-gu (Mayor Lee Seong) is conducting a public contest for honorary road names.

Guro-gu stated on the 3rd, "We are carrying out an honorary road name project to find roads symbolizing Guro's history and urban brand and to promote them," adding, "We are holding a public contest so that residents can directly participate in the process of designating honorary road names."

An "honorary road name" is an additional name given to all or part of a road section that already has an official road name.

Guro-gu is conducting the contest targeting 491 road sections within areas assigned official road name addresses.

The contest content includes the section to be designated with an honorary road name, the proposed name, reasons for the proposal, and expected effects. The name should symbolize the area's history, culture, or figures, or enhance the city's image.

Anyone who is a resident of Guro-gu, a worker in the district, or a member of an organization within the district can participate in this contest.

Those who wish to participate should prepare the application documents and submit them by visiting the Real Estate Information Division of the district office, or by mail, fax, or email (seok1031@guro.go.kr) by the 17th of this month. For more details, refer to the district office website.

A Guro-gu official said, "We plan to complete the designation of honorary road names by July through procedures such as field surveys, collecting residents' opinions, and deliberation by the Road Name Address Committee," and added, "We ask for the interest and participation of many people in this contest."

Last year, through a resident contest, Guro-gu assigned honorary road names to two roads in the district: 'Nam Kuching-ro' and 'Necktie Marathon-ro.'

'Nam Kuching-ro' (a 279m section of Saemal-ro 18-gil) is named after Guro-gu's overseas sister city, Kuching City in Malaysia, and 'Necktie Marathon-ro' (a 777m section of Digital-ro) is named after Guro-gu's representative festival, the Necktie Marathon Competition.
