Pyeongtaek City Unveils Signage for Food Culture Streets

[Suwon Ilbo=Lee Su-won] Pyeongtaek City held an unveiling ceremony for large-scale signage at food culture streets on the 3rd, with approximately 30 attendees including Mayor Jung Jang-seon, National Assembly members, city council members, and representatives from local merchant associations.

The food culture streets that underwent the unveiling ceremony on that day are two locations selected through last year's public competition: Pyeongtaek Station New Market Street and Segyo-dong Food Alley.

The large-scale structures were installed according to each food culture street's distinctive character. At Pyeongtaek Station New Market Street, a U-shaped gate-like structure was installed, while at Segyo-dong Food Alley, a striking red-colored structure was installed at both entrances of the food alley.

The city installed and provided 60 multilingual LED menu boards at general restaurants within the two designated food culture streets, enabling both local residents and foreign visitors to easily select dining establishments and food items simply by viewing the menu boards.

Mayor Jung Jang-seon stated, "These are challenging times with economic slowdown, and I hope that with the designation of these food culture streets as a starting point, the area will transform into a vibrant, youthful neighborhood. We will actively support these areas so they can become icons of a shared prosperity economy that benefits not only restaurants but also surrounding small business owners."
