Yongsan-gu, Seoul (District Mayor Park Hee-young) announced on the 2nd that it has newly secured 44 parking spaces across 5 locations this year by promoting the opening of attached parking lots. As of December, the district is utilizing or freely opening a total of 299 parking spaces as resident-priority parking lots.

The opening of attached parking lots is a project aimed at alleviating parking difficulties in the city center by opening vacant parking spaces to nearby residents. Building owners receive up to 30 million KRW for facility improvement costs and monthly parking fees.

Considering the characteristics of areas concentrated with office facilities this year, the district focused on newly opening attached parking lots mainly at religious facilities that can be opened not only at night but throughout all hours.

As a result of these efforts, 9 spaces at Segwang Church in Itaewon 2-dong in August, 5 spaces at Yongsan Desiang Foret Apartment in Hyochang-dong in October, and 5 spaces at Cheongam Church in Cheongpa-dong in November were secured and are being used as resident-priority parking lots. Additionally, 16 spaces at Yongsan Church in Wonhyoro 1-dong and 9 spaces at Yongsan Cultural Center in Wonhyoro 2-dong, discovered in November and this month respectively, are being opened free of charge.

A district official stated, “Itaewon 2-dong, Hyochang-dong, Wonhyoro 1 and 2-dong, and Cheongpa-dong are old urban areas densely populated with detached houses and commercial buildings,” adding, “The opening of these attached parking lots is expected to ease the parking difficulties significantly.”

Applicants for opening attached parking lots must be building owners, and the condition is to open at least 5 parking spaces for 2 years. By contacting the district’s Parking Management Division, detailed arrangements are made to proceed with subsidy applications, agreement signing, construction implementation, and subsidy execution to open the parking spaces.

District Mayor Park Hee-young emphasized, “We will continue to promote and carefully manage so that more people can participate in opening attached parking lots,” and added, “We will make multifaceted efforts to alleviate the inconvenience of residents suffering from parking shortages.”

Meanwhile, during the 8th term of the civilian administration, the district secured a total of 319 parking spaces through the creation of small leftover land parking lots. These include 4 spaces in the Huam-dong 102-6 area, 23 spaces in the Wonhyoro 2-ga 79-47 area, 20 spaces in the Wonhyoro 1-ga 1-4 area, 233 spaces in the Hangangro 1-ga 231-30 area, 20 spaces in the Hyochang-dong 2-27 area, and 19 spaces in the Yongsan-dong 2-ga 5-1607 area.
