Yangcheon-gu Sumyeongsan Leftover Land Transformed into Priority Parking for Residents

Creating Off-Street Parking Lots by Redeveloping Leftover Land to Solve Parking Space Shortage for Residents in Sinwol 5-dong
Newly Created 15 Spaces Operated as Resident Priority Parking from This Month, Some Sections Shared as Public Parking During Weekday Daytime

Yangcheon-gu (District Mayor Lee Gi-jae) has completely reorganized a small piece of land near Sumyeongsan in Sinwol 5-dong to resolve the chronic parking shortage, creating 15 new off-street parking spaces, which will be operated as resident-priority parking lots starting this month.

This parking lot development is the result of the district's proactive administration reflecting the demands from Sinwol 5-dong residents for securing parking spaces, which have continued since May of last year.

The area around Woljeong-ro in Sinwol 5-dong has suffered from chronic parking shortages due to a lack of space for public parking lots or resident-priority parking lots. As a result, complaints related to illegal parking enforcement have been continuously raised, and especially on weekends, residents experienced serious inconvenience due to various traffic accidents caused by illegal roadside parking.

In response, the district actively sought small pieces of land that could be converted into parking spaces through on-site interviews and inspections by the district mayor and several rounds of resident opinion gathering. As a result, the site was completely reorganized over two months starting in April, creating 15 new off-street parking spaces.

The 15 newly created off-street parking spaces will be operated as resident-priority parking lots starting this month, and some parking spaces will also be used as shared parking spaces during weekday daytime hours.

Additionally, the district plans to sequentially add more public parking lots to improve parking convenience for residents, including the completion of the Cherry Blossom Road Public Parking Lot in Sinjeong 4-dong early next year.

Lee Gi-jae, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, said, "Resolving parking shortages goes beyond simply securing parking spaces; it contributes to urban development in various ways, including improving residential satisfaction and urban aesthetics. We will continue to seek practical solutions to parking problems."
