On this day, Mayor Yuk visited major tourist sites in succession, starting with Kim Yujeong Literature Village, followed by Kim Yujeong Rail Bike, the Uiam Dam management bridge bicycle path, the Gongjicheon area, Soyanggang Skywalk, and Soyang Art Circle. He checked the management status of each facility, pedestrian routes, and overall safety measures.

Kim Yujeong Literature Village improved ramps and walking environments around the Kim Yujeong Memorial Exhibition Hall and Story House, and also established facilities for the disabled and rest areas for families through the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and Korea Tourism Organization’s Accessible Tourism Project last year. In addition, Kim Yujeong Rail Bike was developed as an accessible tourist attraction by introducing the nation’s first ‘Companion Bike’ that allows wheelchair boarding and a ‘Romantic Train’ with wheelchair-accessible seats equipped with a lift, making it available for everyone.

The Uiam Dam management bridge bicycle path, which reopened on March 1, was also inspected. This section serves as an alternative route connecting the disconnected parts of the Bukhangang Bicycle Path and was established to ensure the safety of both pedestrians and cyclists. The bridge operates from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. from March to June and October to November, and from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. from July to September.

Afterward, inspections were carried out at Gongjicheon, Chuncheon Sairo 248, and Munhwa Square Forest, and finally at Soyanggang Skywalk. The newly opened Soyang Art Circle, which officially launched on the 11th, was also checked on site. At this location, color and pattern designs have been applied to the pedestrian paths, observation spaces have been set up on the upper walkway, and elevators have been installed in four directions at the intersection to ensure convenient access for all.
