[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 23rd that it will hold a contest for the ‘2021 Gwangsan-gu Shared Parking Lot Support Project’ as a measure to alleviate downtown parking difficulties.

This project aims to support facility improvement costs for schools, religious institutions, and apartment complexes that open their idle parking spaces to citizens.

Gwangsan-gu provides up to 100 million KRW on the condition of opening at least 5 parking spaces, 7 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 2 years.

Last year, 11 locations and 293 parking spaces were secured within the district.

This year, to expand shared parking facilities, applications will be accepted continuously from next month 2nd until October.

Applications can be submitted by downloading the application form and documents from the Gwangsan-gu website, filling them out, and visiting the Traffic Guidance Division in person.

Shared parking lots selected through the contest will be registered on the smart parking platform ‘Gwangsan Happy Parking Lot’ in the future.

A Gwangsan-gu official said, “Sharing parking lots will reduce illegal parking by alleviating downtown parking difficulties and contribute to revitalizing neighborhood commercial districts. We ask for interest and participation in the shared parking lot support project where everyone becomes happy through sharing.”
