[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] On the 20th at 1 p.m., Jung Won-oh, Mayor of Seongdong-gu, visited Hanlimmal 3-gil in Oksu-dong to conduct an on-site inspection aimed at preventing illegal parking and stopping, and improving a safe pedestrian environment.

Hanlimmal 3-gil in Oksu-dong is located near Oksu Station on Subway Line 3 and Dongho Bridge, adjacent to the residents' cultural space 'Darak Oksu' under the Oksu overpass, and close to Hangang Park, making it a street frequently visited by many citizens.

Especially, as it is adjacent to an elementary school and the importance of pedestrian safety has increased, the plan is to immediately respond to residents' voices regarding safe walking by installing curb stones (banana curb stones) and CCTV along the sidewalk boundary to block illegal parking and secure a safe pedestrian path.

Mayor Jung Won-oh of Seongdong-gu emphasized, "The area near Oksu Station is particularly frequented by many elementary school students, so pedestrian safety is of utmost importance," and added, "We will actively visit the site and carefully inspect it to secure a safe pedestrian path for residents."

The mayor is investing a total of 2.7 billion KRW this year to strengthen children's traffic safety within school zones. In addition, sign blocks on yellow carpets, which allow drivers to recognize protected zones from afar and drive at low speeds, will be introduced at 15 additional locations this year. Through close care services such as walking school buses and traffic safety guardians, efforts are being made to ensure residents' safety.

Furthermore, on the 16th, after completing the first section of the Kumho-dong Jangteo-gil expansion project, a 30-year-long wish of residents, Mayor Jung conducted field administration by directly inspecting traffic inconvenience issues and safety at parks frequently visited by many residents in the area.
