On July 22, Ansan City announced that it has completed and begun operating a temporary parking lot within the mixed-use area of Block 90, Sadong, 1639-25, Sangnok-gu, to alleviate parking inconveniences for residents.

This temporary parking lot was created as an example of opening privately owned idle land to the public. The 9,000-square-meter site is owned by Ansan Sadong 90 Block PFV Co., Ltd., and the city established the parking lot by using the land free of charge on a one-year basis. The parking lot has 122 spaces and is open to the public free of charge.

The city expects that the creation of this parking lot will help resolve the chronic parking shortage in the area near Gran City Xi. Previously, to address parking difficulties in this area, the city had secured temporary parking lots including nighttime access at Haesol Elementary School (57 spaces), nighttime access at Haesol Middle School (48 spaces), and Haeyang 1-ro (200 spaces). With this additional parking lot, the total number of parking spaces in the area now amounts to 427.

Lee Minguen, Mayor of Ansan, said, "We will continue to seek various measures to expand parking spaces and create an urban environment where citizens can live conveniently and comfortably."
