Geumcheon District to Open 200 Parking Spaces at Siheung Distribution Center for 50,000 Won per Month

Available for Use by Nearby Residents and Workers

Geumcheon District in Seoul (District Mayor Yoo Sunghoon) is partnering with Siheung Distribution Center to address the local parking shortage. On January 22, the district announced that it had signed a business agreement with Siheung Distribution Center to open and share the affiliated parking lot, and that starting February 1, 200 parking spaces in the affiliated lot will be made available to nearby residents and workers.

Siheung 3-dong, where Siheung Distribution Center is located, has a high rate of illegal parking, making the securing of parking spaces an urgent issue. This agreement is expected to significantly alleviate the parking shortage.

The parking lot will be available 24 hours a day, regardless of weekdays, weekends, or holidays. The usage fee is 50,000 won per month, and applications can be submitted to the Siheung Distribution Center management office. The parking lot will be managed by the Siheung Distribution Center. The district expects that this initiative will not only reduce the burden on building managers but also provide economic benefits such as reduced management fees through parking revenue.

To ease the parking shortage, the district is promoting a shared affiliated parking lot project, which opens up unused parking spaces in apartments and businesses to external residents. Including Siheung Distribution Center, a total of 26 private buildings-such as Gasan SKV1 Center, Gasan W Center, and Hyundai Knowledge Industry Center-are participating, providing a total of 1,205 parking spaces.

Yoo Sunghoon, Mayor of Geumcheon District, said, "I sincerely thank the officials at Siheung Distribution Center for deciding to open the affiliated parking lot," adding, "This opening will help resolve the parking shortage in the residential areas of Siheung 3-dong." He continued, "Since the new supply of parking lots is limited by budget and land acquisition constraints, sharing existing parking lots is a realistic alternative. We will review and implement various measures to solve the parking problem."
