This project will expand the existing on-street parking lot by utilizing part of the buffer green space around 1646 and 1664 Dangudong and 1654 and 1670 Gwanseldong. The number of parking spaces will be increased from the existing 61 spaces by 120 spaces, bringing the total to 181 spaces. The total project cost is approximately 2 billion won, and construction is scheduled to begin in May this year, with completion targeted for the second half of the year.

The city adjusted the scope of green space utilization and the scale of parking spaces by reflecting opinions gathered during the first and second resident briefing sessions and meetings. In particular, it focused on expanding the number of parking spaces by maintaining the existing green axis, enhancing openness through tree maintenance, and efficiently rearranging the space. In addition, the city plans to improve both traffic safety and user convenience by securing visibility at intersections, installing new crosswalks and pedestrian crossings, and providing boarding and alighting areas for tourist buses.

An official from Wonju City said, "We will carry out the project in a way that minimizes inconvenience to residents while preserving the green space function as much as possible," adding, "We will also share the project implementation process transparently with residents."
