Suwon Establishes Second Public Parking Lot in Seryou 2-dong to Alleviate Severe Parking Shortage

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] The 'Seryou 2-dong Second Public Parking Lot,' capable of accommodating 80 vehicles, has been completed in Seryou 2-dong, Suwon, which has been suffering from severe parking shortages.

Suwon Special City held the 'Seryou 2-dong Second Public Parking Lot Completion Ceremony' at the Seryou 2-dong Administrative Welfare Center on the 21st.

The Seryou 2-dong Second Public Parking Lot (1003-7 Seryou-dong) spans 2,317 square meters and can accommodate 80 vehicles on ground level. Land compensation was completed in July, construction began in October, and the project was completed in December.

The area around Hanju Children's Park, where the parking lot is located, is a densely residential region with insufficient parking spaces. According to a parking supply and demand survey conducted in 2020, the parking supply ratio was low, making it a high priority for development. Visitors to the nearby Seji-ro commercial district and the Seryou 2-dong Administrative Welfare Center have also experienced difficulties due to parking issues.

From January 1, 2024, the lot will be free to use during daytime hours, and will operate under a residents-priority parking system during nighttime.

The completion ceremony was attended by approximately 80 people, including Kim Hyun-su, First Vice Mayor of Suwon Special City, Kim Ki-jeong, President of Suwon City Council, and Lee Jae-sik, Vice President, President Heo Jung-moon of Suwon Urban Development Corporation, provincial council members, and local residents.

First Vice Mayor Kim Hyun-su stated, "The completion of the Seryou 2-dong public parking lot will help alleviate residents' inconveniences," and added, "We will actively push forward with parking lot development projects to increase parking spaces."
