Yongin City Completes Temporary Open-Air Parking Lot at Yongin Central Market

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park No-hun] Yongin City has completed construction of a temporary open-air parking lot with 35 parking spaces at Yongin Central Market in Kimryang-jang-dong, Chuin-gu, and will open it to the public beginning on the 5th.

The parking lot was developed as a ground-level parking facility on a 1,290-square-meter site (123-4, Kimryang-jang-dong) adjacent to the existing 2nd Public Parking Lot at Yongin Central Market.

Initially, the city had established a mid-term local finance plan aimed at constructing a tower-type parking garage on this site and underwent investment review. The city received approval on the condition of expanding the parking facility after constructing the temporary lot and considering usage rates.

Accordingly, the city decided to prioritize the construction of a temporary parking lot to accommodate visitors to the central market. Going forward, the city plans to arrange additional parking spaces in coordination with the 2nd Public Parking Lot, taking into account urban regeneration projects in the area.

Meanwhile, the Yongin Central Market Merchants Association held a completion ceremony for the temporary parking lot and expressed gratitude to Mayor Baek Gun-ki for his efforts in constructing the facility.

Yongin Mayor Baek Gun-ki stated, "I hope the temporary open-air parking lot will be of some help to visitors who have experienced inconvenience due to parking space shortages," adding, "The city will develop various measures to significantly increase parking spaces at the central market."
