District Secures 22 Billion KRW for Multi-Level Public Parking Lot Construction by 2025, Expected to Alleviate Parking Shortage in the Ui-dong Area

Plan to Provide 266 Parking Spaces with a 4-Story, 5-Level Parking Tower at Ui-dong Traffic Plaza

Seoul Gangbuk-gu District (Mayor Lee Soon-hee) announced that the Ui-dong Traffic Plaza public parking lot construction project, one of the key initiatives of the 8th term administration, has gained further momentum after securing a subsidy of 22 billion KRW from the Seoul Metropolitan Government.

The 'Ui-dong Traffic Plaza Public Parking Lot' construction project is part of a complex development initiative focused on public parking lots in the Ui-dong area, led by Mayor Lee Soon-hee during the 8th term. The plan involves building a self-parking 4-story, 5-level parking tower with a total floor area of 8,207㎡ at the current flat-type traffic plaza public parking lot located at San 101-4, Ui-dong.

District officials expect that this project will help resolve the chronic illegal parking issues in the Ui-dong area and enhance convenience for visitors to Bukhansan Mountain and Ui-ryeong Forest Culture Village, thereby contributing to the revitalization of the local economy.

To advance the project, the district conducted a feasibility study in March to prepare detailed plans, submitted the project as a central investment review target to the Ministry of the Interior and Safety in May, and applied for construction subsidies from the Seoul Metropolitan Government in June. On the 10th, the district secured approximately 22 billion KRW in subsidies from Seoul.

The total project cost is about 36.9 billion KRW, combining the secured city subsidy with approximately 14.8 billion KRW in district funds. Based on the central investment review results from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety expected this month, the district plans to complete urban planning facility decisions, compensation, and basic and detailed designs, aiming to finish construction by 2025.

Upon completion, the parking capacity will increase from the current 100 spaces to a maximum of 266, which is expected to provide ▲ bus parking spaces ▲ resolution of illegal parking issues on roads and residential areas ▲ improved traffic safety for visitors to Bukhansan ▲ restoration of traffic safety and fire road functions.

Lee Soon-hee, Mayor of Gangbuk-gu, emphasized the importance of the project, stating, “Solving parking problems is directly linked to public welfare and leads to local economic revitalization.” She added, “We will do our best to promptly complete the remaining administrative procedures to ensure the public parking lot in Ui-dong is built without any setbacks.”
