Osan City Launches Free Removal Service for Abandoned Signage

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Osan City announced on the 9th that it will implement a free removal service for abandoned signage without owners to create a safe urban environment.

The initiative aims to address dangerous, deteriorated signage left behind due to business closures and relocations, preventing safety accidents caused by strong winds and improving the city's aesthetics.

The city will conduct a fact-finding survey by next month, select a maintenance (removal) contractor, and begin full-scale work in October.

Applications for the free removal service are accepted until September 30th. Applicants must fill out a report form and sign board removal consent form at the City Architecture Division. The report form and sign removal consent form can be downloaded from the city website (www.osan.go.kr).

A city official stated, "Through maintenance of abandoned signage, we expect a dual benefit of creating a clean street environment and preventing damage from strong winds."
