Seocho-gu, Seoul (Mayor Jeon Seong-su) has newly established shared bicycle and pedestrian paths at three locations, including Sapyeong-daero. The newly created shared bicycle and pedestrian path sections are Sapyeong-daero (Seoul St. Mary's Hospital~Banpo IC, Samho Garden~Banpo IC), Jamwon-ro (Entrance of Sinbanpo 22nd Apartment~Samho Garden Intersection), and Sinbanpo-ro (Raemian Prestige Buildings 103~109, Banpo Xi Buildings 102~107), totaling 3.6 km in length. The installation types include 1.2 km of separated paths and 2.4 km of non-separated paths.

To enhance visibility, color blocks (69 locations), traffic safety signs (224 units), and bicycle crosswalks (10 locations) were installed to ensure safe use for both pedestrians and cyclists.

This expansion of the bicycle road network connects the disconnected sections of bicycle paths centered around Banpo-daero, which links to the Han River bicycle road. The focus was on improving convenience for existing users and strengthening connectivity with public transportation. Next year, a project is planned to connect a 3 km disconnected section of the bicycle road along Nambusunhwan-ro (Sadang~Yangjae Station).

Seocho-gu is continuously building bicycle road networks to promote bicycle use and enhance residents' leisure activities. As of the end of last year, the total length of bicycle roads constructed is 58.67 km across 47 sections, including 3 sections of bicycle-only lanes, 1 section of bicycle-only road, and 43 sections of shared bicycle and pedestrian roads.

The district operates bicycle repair centers at Yangjaecheon, Sadang Station, and Bangbae Station to facilitate convenient bicycle repairs. Since April, a ‘Mobile Bicycle Repair Center’ has also been in operation.

Mayor Jeon Seong-su stated, “We will expand and operate bicycle activation plans to make it more convenient to use bicycles, an eco-friendly mode of transportation, and strive to take a step closer to a carbon-neutral city, Seocho.”
