Kim Tae-jin, Gwangju Seo-gu Council Member, Leads Efforts to Revitalize Public Parking Lots

Kim Tae-jin, a member of the Gwangju Metropolitan City Seo-gu Council, recently completed the newly proposed 'Dongcheon-dong Public Parking Lot.' It is expected to help alleviate parking difficulties in the nearby densely populated commercial area.

The parking lot was originally planned to be constructed in the basement of Haengja Children's Park.

However, the project was changed after Councilor Kim emphasized the need for a "complete reconsideration of the parking lot site" at the regular council meeting in December 2020.

At that time, Councilor Kim pointed out, "Building it behind Woomi Apartment in Haengja Children's Park is more likely to cause traffic accidents, and above all, the residents' opinions were not reflected at all during the site selection process."

Accordingly, Seo-gu secured the site at 605 Dongcheon-dong and began construction in January last year on a three-story, four-level parking lot with 44 spaces, completing it in December. The total project cost was 5.4 billion KRW.

On the 19th, Councilor Kim stated, "This was the result of meetings and signature campaigns with Dongcheon-dong residents, including those from Woomi Apartment," adding, "I will take the lead in revitalizing the public parking lot through measures such as revising the parking lot ordinance and reducing usage fees."
