Municipal Parking Lot Opens at Jowon Market in Suwon

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] A municipal parking lot capable of accommodating 29 vehicles has been opened at Jowon Market in Jangan-gu, Suwon City, which had been facing severe parking shortages.

Suwon Metropolitan City held an "opening ceremony for Jowon Market Municipal Parking Lot" on the 8th in front of the lot (767 Jowon-dong).

The ceremony was attended by Suwon Mayor Lee Jae-jun, National Assembly Member Kim Seung-won, Kim Byeong-gon, chairman of Jowon Market Merchants Association, and some 100 residents and merchants from the area.

The Jowon Market Municipal Parking Lot, inaugurated at the ceremony, has a total floor area of 743.74㎡ and is a two-story structure capable of parking 29 vehicles. Construction began in February 2023 and was completed last month.

Jowon Market, surrounded by densely packed residential areas with insufficient dedicated parking spaces, had faced serious parking shortages; however, the opening of this municipal parking lot is expected to alleviate the parking problem to some extent.

The opening ceremony proceeded with the presentation of plaques of appreciation, ribbon cutting, and a community festival. The Jowon Market Merchants Association presented plaques of appreciation to seven individuals including Suwon Mayor Lee Jae-jun and National Assembly Member Kim Seung-won.
