Uiwang City Launches Trial Operation of Free Parking at Poil Eoul-rim Center Auxiliary Lot

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Uiwang City will launch a trial operation of free parking access at the auxiliary lot of Poil Eoul-rim Center, located in Poil-dong, from February through April.

During the trial period, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., the lot will be operated exclusively for staff members, relevant contractors, and users of Poil Sports Center. Outside these hours (from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. the next day), the lot will be fully opened for use by local residents.

Eligible vehicles for parking include passenger cars, vans (12-seater or less), and 1-ton trucks (2.1 meters or less in height), taking into consideration the underground parking lot's height restrictions. The opening scope includes Basement Level 1 (98 spaces) and Ground Level (48 spaces) and may be adjusted in the future based on operational circumstances.

The city plans to conduct test operations on the parking system and overall parking lot facilities to assess facility conditions. The results will be reflected in future paid parking operations to determine operating hours and scope.

For detailed inquiries regarding the operation of the Poil Eoul-rim Center auxiliary parking lot, contact Uiwang City Hall's Accounting Division, Property Management Team 2 at 031-345-3076.

Choi Won-ho, head of the Accounting Division, said, "We are analyzing appropriate usage methods for the auxiliary parking lot to resolve the chronic parking shortage affecting residents near Poil Eoul-rim Center," and added, "We will reflect data derived from the trial operation in parking lot operations to ensure convenience for visitors and local residents."
