[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Mapo-gu (Mayor Yoo Dong-gyun) will hold a non-face-to-face residents briefing session on the Hongjecheon Mangwon Nadeulmok installation project from the 17th to the 30th.

The Hongjecheon Mangwon Nadeulmok installation project aims to resolve the inconvenience faced by local residents who had to detour more than 1.2 km due to the severed environment caused by Seongsan-ro, in order to use nearby World Cup Park, riverside convenience facilities, and Mapo Agricultural and Marine Products Market. This has been a long-cherished project for the residents of Mangwon 2-dong.

To address this, the district continuously held consultations with related organizations from October 2009 to March 2021. As a result, the project passed the Seoul Metropolitan Government Regional Water Resources Management Committee review last March, allowing it to proceed finally. Consequently, residents near Mangwon-dong will be able to use Hongjecheon more safely, and movement to surrounding areas such as World Cup Park is expected to become much more convenient.

The Hongjecheon Mangwon Nadeulmok will be installed as a pedestrian passageway with a width of 4.5 meters, height of 3 meters, and length of 46.5 meters, from around 11-gil 87, Bangulnae-ro, Mapo-gu to the Hongjecheon exclusion zone. For flood safety, a retaining wall will be constructed on the riverside after the Nadeulmok is opened.

According to the district, the basic and detailed design services are currently underway. Through the residents briefing session, they plan to collect residents’ opinions on the design progress and internal and external designs and reflect these in the design. The goal is to start construction of the Hongjecheon Mangwon Nadeulmok within this year.

The residents briefing session will be held non-face-to-face to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and comply with social distancing quarantine rules. Materials for the briefing session, including the installation plan of the Nadeulmok, results of various committees, progress status, and future plans (videos, etc.), can be viewed on the Mapo-gu Office website’s notice board or the Mapo-gu YouTube channel.

The viewing period is from the 17th to the 30th, and residents with opinions can fill out the resident opinion form posted on the website during this period and send it to the person in charge via email (cye8629@seoul.go.kr).

For residents such as the elderly who are not familiar with online access, the Mangwon 2-dong Community Service Center has also prepared resident opinion forms so they can submit them directly to the community center.

Yoo Dong-gyun, Mayor of Mapo-gu, said, “With the installation of the Mangwon Nadeulmok, residents near Mangwon-dong will be able to conveniently and safely use surrounding infrastructure facilities, which will enhance exchanges between regions and contribute to revitalizing the local economy. We will strive to minimize residents’ inconvenience during the project and actively reflect their opinions to make it a resident-friendly facility.”
