[Suwon Ilbo=Park No-hun Reporter] Yongin City announced on the 9th that it plans to create 2 parking lots by utilizing vacant spaces in Singal-dong and Gugal-dong, Giheung-gu to address parking difficulties in residential areas.
These areas have dense housing but insufficient parking spaces, causing significant inconvenience for residents.
The city has decided to create parking lots by utilizing idle land in the residential area of Singal-dong and near the ecological park in Gugal-dong.
The sites for the parking lots are located at 426-22 Singal-dong, Giheung-gu (171㎡, 5 spaces) and 652 Gugal-dong, Giheung-gu (721㎡, 30 spaces).
The city previously determined that utilizing these sites as parking lots would be appropriate and engaged in active discussions with Gyeonggi Province to secure 120 million won in provincial funding.
Currently in the detailed design phase, the city plans to complete construction by October.
Creating parking lots by utilizing vacant spaces has the advantage of requiring smaller budgets compared to large-scale public parking facilities and allowing construction to be completed in a short timeframe.
The city will continue to secure parking spaces by utilizing idle land around areas with limited parking space.
Baek Gyun-gi, Mayor of Yongin City, said, “We expect that creating parking lots by utilizing vacant spaces will help resolve parking shortages in this area,” and added, “We will continue to carefully address parking difficulties for residents.”
