Access Road Installed in Yeongbuk-dong Gwangok Village, Yongin; Inconvenience Resolved at Three Locations

[Suwon Ilbo=Park No-hoon Reporter] Yongin City announced on the 26th that it has resolved residents' inconvenience through the installation of an access road to Gwangok Village in Yeongbuk-dong, Cheoiin-gu, the expansion of the roadway near Dongilhavil 1st intersection in Eonnam-dong, Giheung-gu, and the construction of a new crosswalk near Dongbo Apartment in Pungdeokcheon-dong, Suji-gu.

Gwangok Village in Yeongbuk-dong, which has more than 150 households, has faced complaints from residents due to the expansion of nearby Local Route 321. To reach Yongin Central Market or Cheoiin-gu Office, residents had to detour more than 1.2 kilometers. In response, the city obtained consent for land use from the Yeoksamgu District Urban Development Business Cooperative and installed an access road 41 meters long and 8 meters wide toward Geumhak-ro, while relocating the crosswalk and traffic signal to facilitate easy access and exit.

Near Dongilhavil 1st intersection in Eonnam-dong, Giheung-gu, a right-turn lane 30 meters long and 4 meters wide has been newly constructed at the entrance of a shortcut leading to Seokseong-ro (toward Suji), making it easier for vehicles in the complex to exit.

The side entrance of Dongbo Apartment in Pungdeokcheon-dong, Suji-gu, connects to a nearby commercial area and experienced frequent jaywalking. A new crosswalk and traffic signal have been installed to allow residents to cross safely.

A city official stated, "We have safely improved these three roads with minimal budget," and added, "We will continue to identify areas of inconvenience for citizens and actively make improvements, such as facilitating pedestrian passage."
