[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Choi Ki-ho] Ganghwa County held a completion ceremony on the 9th for the 'Shinmun Third Municipal Parking Lot' created to resolve the chronic parking problem in Ganghwa-eup's old downtown area.
The completion ceremony was attended by approximately 200 people including County Governor Yu Cheon-ho, Park Seung-han, Chairman of the Ganghwa County Council, other officials and local residents.
Shinmun-ri in Ganghwa-eup, located in the old downtown area, is a densely residential neighborhood with complicated alleyways and has long suffered from severe parking shortages.
In response, the county invested 2.5 billion won to create a parking lot accommodating 50 vehicles on a 2,433㎡ lot area. The lot is equipped with CCTV and security lighting to strengthen parking lot security, and exercise equipment has been installed on the remaining land.
Meanwhile, the county has successively completed municipal parking lots this year in Gyosan-ri, Yangsas-myeon (90 parking spaces), Waepo-ri, Naega-myeon (288 parking spaces), and Gwancheon-ri, Ganghwa-eup (35 parking spaces), resolving the parking problem that had served as an obstacle to regional development.
County Governor Yu Cheon-ho stated, "The Ganghwa-eup old downtown area residents have long suffered inconvenience due to insufficient parking facilities," and added, "With the completion of this municipal parking lot, we expect to provide parking convenience to residents and revitalize the sluggish local economy through improved accessibility."
