Gwangjin-gu 'Kondae Mat-ui Street' Order Maintenance Campaign

Joint Campaign by Civil, Government, and Police for Safe and Clean Streets... Addressing Inconveniences like Illegal Advertisements and Traffic Congestion Together

Gwangjin-gu (District Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) held a joint order maintenance campaign on the 19th at the ‘Kondae Mat-ui Street’ together with Gwangjin Police Station (Chief Park Chang-ji) and the Mat-ui Street Commercial Association (President Lee Ok-hee). The purpose was to revitalize Gwangjin-gu’s representative street, ‘Kondae Mat-ui Street,’ and to make it a safe and clean area for young people.

The campaign began at 6:30 PM at the Hwayang-dong Community Center with about 80 participants including employees from Gwangjin-gu Office and Gwangjin Police Station, as well as members of the Commercial Association, starting with the Gwangjin Police Station’s ‘Kondae Mat-ui Street Safety Environment Creation Report Meeting.’

Until now, the district and the police have continuously communicated with merchants to build a consensus on maintaining order and creating a clean street.

During the report meeting, achievements in environmental improvements such as street signboard and illegal flyer crackdowns were shared. Due to the police station’s focused crackdown on flyer distribution and the district office’s establishment of an automatic text message system to block illegal advertisements, flyers have disappeared from the streets. In particular, recent crime in Kondae Mat-ui Street decreased by about 17.6%, and noise complaints dropped by about 44.7%.

Additionally, to resolve traffic congestion and improve the pedestrian environment, discussions were held to change vehicle traffic from two-way to one-way.

Afterwards, the on-site joint campaign proceeded along Neungdong-ro to Kondaeipgu Station and the Mat-ui Street area. They carefully checked ▲illegal flyer distribution ▲pedestrian environment improvement sites ▲security light operation status ▲other crime prevention facilities to ensure that residents visiting Mat-ui Street could use it safely and comfortably.

Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, “I sincerely thank Chief Park Chang-ji and the staff who have worked hard for the safety and cleanliness of Kondae Mat-ui Street, as well as President Lee Ok-hee and the members. The clean and safe street has received satisfying responses from residents. Going forward, the public, private, and police sectors will continue to work together to ensure that residents can live in a safe and pleasant environment.”
