Geumcheon-gu Renovates Signboard of 'Geumcheon-gu Office Station Road'

Removal of 176 Old and Illegal Advertisements, Installation of 200 Eco-Friendly LED Signs at 100 Businesses
Creating Clean Streets by Day and Safe, Walkable Environments by Night

Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) announced that it has newly installed energy-saving light-emitting diode (LED) signs at 100 businesses to create a pleasant street environment along ‘Geumcheon-gu Office Station Road.’

The sign improvement project covers the ‘Geumcheon-gu Office Station Road,’ a total 350-meter section including parts of Siheung-daero 63-gil and Siheung-daero 71-gil. Although the area retains traces of its old charm, the presence of old and worn signs mixed with narrow roads made it difficult to provide pedestrians with a safe and clean feeling.

The district removed 176 outdated and illegal advertisements that had been indiscriminately installed and supported up to 2.9 million KRW per business to install 200 LED signs (one wall-mounted sign and one small projecting sign per business). The newly installed signs feature designs tailored to the characteristics of each business, enhancing both readability and aesthetics. A total of approximately 270 million KRW was invested in the project.

Starting with a residents’ briefing session in February, the sign improvement project was completed by December for 100 businesses. During the project, the district communicated with the merchants’ association and individual business owners to reflect their opinions as much as possible.

Even after the project’s completion, the district plans to continue regular inspections for ongoing maintenance.

Yu Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, stated, “Geumcheon-gu Office Station Road has transformed into a clean street during the day and a safe, walkable street at night,” adding, “We will continue to strive to make Geumcheon-gu Office Station Road a lively street frequently visited by residents.”
