Furthermore, sediment dredging and riverbed maintenance will be carried out in Dongcheon (around 949 Bukbu-dong), and soil dredging, drop structure, and stone embankment restoration will be conducted in Sosa-dongcheon (around 210 Sosa-dong) to prevent river flooding and damage to farmland caused by inundation.

In addition, a special grant tax budget of 900 million KRW has been secured for the second half of 2024 to carry out improvement projects for the school routes of Dongbu Elementary School and Pung-ho Elementary School. The district plans to do its utmost to create a safe commuting environment for children and parents by improving sidewalks (sidewalk block repairs, road resurfacing) and maintaining and installing traffic safety facilities.
