Guro-gu will hold a completion ceremony for the Gocheok Neighborhood Market public parking lot at 2:30 PM on the 22nd.

The district promoted the construction of a public parking lot to alleviate parking difficulties at Gocheok Neighborhood Market, one of the traditional markets.

Selected in 2022 by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups' Parking Environment Improvement Project contest, the construction officially began in August last year following urban planning and parking lot construction procedures, and was completed on December 31.

The Gocheok Neighborhood Market public parking lot was created with a total project cost of 8.6 billion KRW, covering an area of 852㎡ with 20 flat parking spaces.

The parking lot is entrusted to and operated by the Guro-gu Facilities Management Corporation, and efficiency in operation was enhanced by introducing a 24-hour unmanned parking control system.

Before full operation, the district plans to run a pilot (free) operation period starting from the 1st of next month, followed by paid operation beginning on the 17th.

Parking fees for monthly pass users are 60,000 KRW for all day (40,000 KRW for daytime, 20,000 KRW for nighttime), and hourly parking is charged at 100 KRW per 5 minutes per parking session.

Holders of receipts from the traditional market are eligible for a parking fee discount of up to 90 minutes.

Details on operations such as monthly pass applications can be checked and used on the Guro-gu Facilities Management Corporation website.

The district expects to resolve parking issues, greatly improve convenience for visitors to Gocheok Neighborhood Market, and promote local economic development through revitalization of nearby commercial areas due to increased visitors.

A Guro-gu official said, “We expect the creation of the public parking lot to provide parking convenience for residents visiting the traditional market and to invigorate nearby commercial areas. We thank everyone for their cooperation despite the inconveniences during construction, and we will continue to do our best for the local economy and residents’ convenience.”
