Park Kwang-on: "I Will Resolve Parking Issues at Suwon Homaesil Disabled Welfare Center"

Democratic Party floor leader Park Kwang-on (Suwon City) took a commemorative photo after spending time communicating with people with disabilities and their families at the Suwon Homaesil Comprehensive Welfare Center for the Disabled on the 10th.

Park Kwang-on, the floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea (Suwon City), promised to actively address the parking issues at the Hwamaesil-dong Comprehensive Welfare Center for the Disabled in Suwon.

On the 10th, Park Kwang-on made this statement at an urgent issue meeting held at the Hwamaesil Comprehensive Welfare Center for the Disabled in Suwon, attended by about 100 people including local disabled individuals and their families, along with the Suwon City Welfare Organizations Association.

Lee Jong-do, head of the Suwon branch of the Korea Parents Federation of Disabled Persons, said at the meeting, "Most of the disabled users of the Comprehensive Welfare Center are experiencing inconvenience due to parking problems," adding, "Most disabled individuals use disabled call taxis, but there is a lack of temporary stopping spaces in the underground parking lot, and there is a risk of safety accidents, which has led to continuous complaints."

He especially emphasized, "When events related to the disabled are held, the parking shortage worsens, frequently causing complaints such as contact accidents due to double parking," and requested, "Please resolve the parking shortage by utilizing part of the vacant land at Hwamaesil-dong 1386."

Kim Seung-heon, president of the Suwon branch of the Korea Association of Kidney Disabled Persons, stated, "Some of the land at Hwamaesil 1386 in Gwonseon-gu, Suwon City, is being used as a parking lot by disabled welfare organizations, who also handle cleaning and maintenance," and suggested, "Please actively consider free lease based on Article 48 of the Disabled Welfare Act so that it can be used for the benefit of disabled welfare organizations."

In response, Park Kwang-on said, "It is necessary to make at least minimal efforts to balance the inconveniences faced by disabled people and other socially vulnerable groups and the difficult social environment," and added, "I empathize with the fact that the state has been indifferent to the inconveniences experienced by disabled people."

He continued, "I believe that the state's respect for disabled people under the Disabled Welfare Act is one of the paths toward a happy country," and promised, "I will strive to find solutions to the issue of free lease of the national property at Hwamaesil-dong 1386, Gwonseon-gu, Suwon (parking lot)."
