[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor Yu Deok-yeol) has begun comprehensive environmental maintenance across the district to repair facilities damaged by heavy rain and snowfalls last summer and winter, providing residents with a pleasant environment as spring arrives.

The district is accelerating efforts to complete maintenance before the increase in spring outing visitors.

First, for the safety of residents, thorough safety inspections and repairs are being conducted on retaining walls, embankments, various construction sites, redevelopment maintenance areas, old houses, and facilities in response to the thawing season.

To create a pleasant urban environment, parks, walking trails, roads, and various areas throughout the district are being cleaned thoroughly.

Soil deposits, fallen leaves, and other debris are being cleared from drainage ditches, rainwater inlets, and sewage facilities in parks, walking trails, and roads, and the exteriors of aging benches and sports facilities are being repainted.

In addition, habitual illegal dumping areas are being thoroughly cleaned, and dust accumulated on side streets and pedestrian paths is being washed away. Vehicles and motorcycles illegally parked in alleyways and residential streets that detract from the cityscape are also being identified by their owners and relocated.

Along with cleaning, trees and flowers are being planted to revitalize the city. Spring flowers are being planted at locations such as Jeonnong and Jangan Intersection traffic islands, bus stops, in front of the district office, and community centers, and additional trees are being planted in roadside green belts.

Furthermore, to welcome civil petitioners with a fresh mindset and improve work efficiency, the district office building and community centers are also undergoing exterior and office space maintenance.

Unnecessary stored items around the district office plaza are being removed, flowerbed walls, the plaza, underground parking lots, and emergency stairs are being cleaned, and the plant landscaping in the first-floor lobby of the district office is being maintained.

Yu Deok-yeol, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, stated, “Since February, we have inspected various parts of the district in preparation for the thawing season and found areas that need maintenance for safety and aesthetics. As the weather warms and more visitors come for outings, we will do our best to complete the maintenance quickly before then.”
