Dongjak-gu (Mayor Park Il-ha) has completed the relocation work of utility poles located on the school route to Sangdo 4-dong Elementary School (22, Yangnyeong-ro 29-gil), which had caused inconvenience to vehicle and resident traffic.

This area had frequent complaints due to utility poles situated in the middle of a narrow alley, and the district took the initiative to coordinate maintenance with related organizations such as KEPCO and KT to resolve the inconvenience for residents.

After the relocation, the road width expanded from 4m to 6m, an increase of more than 2m, which is expected to alleviate traffic difficulties for pedestrians and vehicles passing through the narrow alley and contribute to creating a safer walking environment.

Additionally, multipurpose CCTV poles used for security and parking enforcement in the vicinity, which also caused inconvenience to pedestrians, were removed in conjunction with the maintenance work to maximize the project's effectiveness.

The district conducted a full survey of utility poles in the area since the 8th local government administration and plans to maintain 10 utility poles by the end of this year.

So far this year, the district has completed the relocation of a total of four utility poles, including those near the Shindaebang Samgeori intersection.

Park Il-ha, Mayor of Dongjak-gu, stated, “We will continue to promote the utility pole maintenance project to improve the walking environment and enhance safety,” adding, “We will promptly resolve long-standing daily inconveniences through on-site communication.”
