Mapo-gu Creates 'Safe School Route' in Front of Yeomni Elementary School

Park Gang-su, Mayor of Mapo District, visited Yeomni Elementary School on the afternoon of the 30th after the completion of environmental improvement construction.

In June, after hearing opinions that the school route in front of Yeomni Elementary School was narrow and that the school gate was adjacent to the roadway, threatening the safety of children’s walking, Mayor Park Gang-su ordered to make every effort to create a safe school route.

Accordingly, Mapo District, after more than four consultations with the school, provided educational expense subsidies necessary for the renovation of the main gate of Yeomni Elementary School in August.

Along with this, the district renovated the old roads around the school and created a safe school route by enhancing visibility in the child protection zone through the installation of a dedicated school bus stop, traffic lights, and pavement painting work.

After inspecting the site, Mayor Park Gang-su said, “Safety is the most important thing on the school route that children use every day to go to and from school,” and added, “Mapo District will continue to pay attention and make efforts to create a school route that both children and parents can feel safe about.”
