This meeting was organized to visit the apartment directly, listen to residents' complaints and opinions on local issues, and incorporate them into city administration.

On this day, residents made a variety of suggestions, including: ▲improving the environment for using Jungnangcheon Stream, ▲enhancing traffic safety, and ▲better management of living facilities.

Specifically, suggestions included extending the Howon Cherry Blossom Road along Jungnangcheon Stream, improving the management of the park golf course, creating a new shoe-wearing section on the Hwangtotgil trail, and installing landscaping on Hojanggyo Bridge. Requests were also made to install a diagonal crosswalk and operate a school bus to ensure safe routes for students commuting to and from school. The city plans to review the effectiveness and necessity of these proposals through on-site inspections and demand assessments.

Additionally, there were opinions on improving living conditions, such as replacing storm drain inlets and conducting roadside weed removal to prepare for heavy rainfall. Furthermore, residents raised the need to expand public facilities, such as welfare centers for the elderly and libraries, for shared community use.

Mayor Kim Dongkeun stated, "It is important to listen to citizens' concerns directly on site and examine them thoroughly," and added, "We will carefully review the suggestions raised and develop practical improvement measures."

Uijeongbu City plans to continue holding apartment residents' meetings to reflect residents' opinions in city administration and further strengthen communication with citizens.
