Suwon Completes Construction of 3 Additional 'Safe Return Home' Paths

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] Suwon Special City announced on the 2nd that it has completed the construction of 'Safe Return Home' paths at three additional locations, including the area around Daepyeong-ro 152-gil in Jang-an District (Jeongja-dong).

The 'Safe Return Home Path Construction Project' is an initiative to improve environmental and safety infrastructure in 'vulnerable safety areas' that are sparsely populated at night, transforming them into bright and safe streets.

Previously, the city cooperated with Suwon's South, Central, and West Police Stations to conduct joint inspections of the planned construction sections for this year's project site selection. Subsequently, it selected three areas as project sites: the area around Daepyeong-ro 152-gil in Jang-an District (Jeongja-dong), the area around Danggin-ro 31-gil in Gwonseon District (Dangsudo-dong), and the area around Seji-ro 174-gil in Paldal District (Ingye-dong).

A total project budget of 215 million won (50% from provincial funds and 50% from city funds) was invested in the three sections, with construction recently completed.

The three Safe Return Home paths are equipped with 30 logo projectors that illuminate dark alleyways and 763 solar road markers, with slip-resistant pavement applied to a total of 840 square meters.

With the addition of three locations this year, the total number of Safe Return Home paths in Suwon has increased to 32 locations.

A city official stated, "We hope that the construction of Safe Return Home paths will help protect citizens' safety," and added, "Through cooperation with the police stations, we will designate these areas as intensive patrol zones and create 'Safe City Suwon' where citizens can live with peace of mind."
