Improvement of Pedestrian Environment at Daerim Station, Guro-gu

Guro-gu, Daerim Station Pedestrian Environment to Improve

Mixed Traffic Roads to Be Converted into Pedestrian Priority Roads; Aging Sidewalks and Facilities to Be Renovated

Guro-gu (Mayor Moon Heon-il) is improving the pedestrian environment around Daerim Station.

The Daerim Station pedestrian environment improvement project, one of the pledges of the 8th local government administration, was prepared to create a pedestrian-centered environment around the station.

The area around the entrances of Daerim Station had inconvenient pedestrian routes and aging sidewalk facilities that required improvement. Gurojungang-ro 8-gil is an 8-meter-wide mixed traffic road with shops and multi-family houses densely packed, making it a region with very high pedestrian demand heading to Daerim Station.

Accordingly, Guro-gu converted the existing mixed traffic road, which was the main pedestrian axis, into a pedestrian priority road and changed the irregular stepped pedestrian environment into a flat one.

They also renovated the aging sidewalks and walkways and expanded pedestrian convenience facilities.

The sidewalk section near the rainwater pumping station by Daerim Station was narrow and dangerous as it connected to a neglected green space. Currently, the green space has been expanded into the sidewalk, and a tile wall with drawings has been installed to enhance the pleasantness.

Gurojungang-ro 8-gil was constructed as a road prioritizing pedestrians over vehicles through design paving.

He also inspected the flood control facilities of the rainwater pumping station in front of Exit 1, checking bicycle racks causing inconvenience to pedestrians and the condition of abandoned bicycles.

Mayor Moon Heon-il urged prompt action for the maintenance of aging facilities, thorough management of the rainwater pumping station flood control facilities, and swift measures regarding bicycle racks and abandoned bicycles.

A Guro-gu official stated, “We plan to complete improvements around Exits 1 to 3 of Daerim Station and the access roads within this year,” adding, “We will strive to create a pedestrian environment that prioritizes the safety and convenience of pedestrians.”
