[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwi-yeol] Andong City in Gyeongbuk Province is undertaking a project to renovate old streetlights in the downtown area and install security lights in vulnerable areas to create a safe nighttime street environment.

The city has been implementing a project every year to replace old streetlights, which impair the urban landscape and have low lighting efficiency, with high-efficiency LED lights. Up until last year, about 8,500 streetlights, accounting for 94% of the total, have been renovated.

This year, 450 million KRW will be invested to renovate old streetlights in the downtown area, including Seodongmun-ro.

Additionally, with a budget of 300 million KRW, 300 new security lights will be installed in vulnerable areas of towns and neighborhoods that have experienced inconvenience during nighttime due to the absence of security lights.

Andong City has divided the area into two zones, East and West, and signed maintenance contracts for streetlight repairs to promptly address complaints about streetlight malfunctions. They will also operate a remote monitoring system to minimize citizen inconvenience by checking in real time for issues such as street and security light outages and blinking device malfunctions.

A representative from the Parks and Greenery Division stated, “We operate a one-stop complaint response team, and when a malfunction is reported by phone, we plan to repair it promptly.”
