Dongjak-gu Creates a Total of 275 Parking Spaces in One Year

Expansion of Public and Spare Parking Lots to Enhance Resident Convenience... Over 200 Additional Spaces to Be Identified in the Future

Dongjak-gu is securing a large number of parking spaces to resolve the long-standing parking difficulties faced by its residents.

Dongjak-gu (Mayor Park Il-ha) announced that through proactive administration, including utilizing leftover spaces and abandoned vacant houses, it has created a total of 275 parking spaces within one year to alleviate parking shortages in the area and enhance convenience for residents.

From last year to early this year, the district expanded parking facilities in areas with high traffic congestion or frequent illegal parking, such as near Sadang Station and Nodeulnaru Park, by adding ▲95 public parking spaces ▲59 resident-priority parking spaces ▲45 leftover parking spaces.

First, the district secured a total of 95 public parking spaces through continuous efforts such as purchasing existing houses and receiving parking lot donations or public contributions during redevelopment and reconstruction projects.

Most notably, to resolve parking difficulties in the commercial area of Sadang-dong, the district created a total of 65 public parking spaces at Sadang 1 and 2 by reducing costs and shortening construction periods.

Additionally, the district established resident-participatory parking lots by actively utilizing limited parking spaces. While prioritizing resident parking, IoT parking-sharing sensors were installed and operated in 481 resident-priority parking spaces within the district to allow shared use during times when spaces are vacant due to commuting or outings via an app.

Furthermore, the district transformed long-neglected vacant houses, which had been a nuisance for years, into parking lots by demolishing them.

In the middle of a residential area in Sadang-dong, unmanaged vacant houses were voluntarily demolished according to maintenance plans and converted into parking lots, improving the surrounding environment and providing convenience to residents.

Going forward, the district plans to proactively identify over 200 parking spaces, including ▲30 spaces through the Green Parking project ▲40 spaces by opening affiliated parking lots ▲30 resident-priority parking spaces ▲100 small-scale and gap parking spaces.

By the end of this month, more than 30 parking spaces will be established using the flowerbed at Kyungmoon High School, the site of Sadang 4-dong Kkachi Daycare Center, and the Noryangjin idle site.

In particular, in May, Sadang 1-dong commercial area will be designated as a pilot ‘Parking Sharing Special Zone,’ expanding the parking sharing system not only to resident-priority parking spaces but also to private parking lots such as those in private buildings and villas, providing shared parking spaces.

Park Il-ha, Mayor of Dongjak-gu, said, “Through proactive administration and cooperation within the community, we were able to create parking spaces dramatically within one year. We will continue to do our best in various ways to resolve residents’ inconveniences and improve the residential environment.”
