[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park Chan-hyuk] Mayor Jung Myung-geun of Hwaseong Special City visited the underground parking lot construction site at Yeoul Park in Dongtan 2 District, which is being promoted by the Korea Land and Housing Corporation, and conducted a pre-completion site inspection on the 3rd.

The Yeoul Park underground parking lot construction project is an initiative to resolve parking inconvenience for citizens using Dongtan SRT Station and Yeoul Park. The project broke ground in 2021 and is aimed at completion this coming February. It is the largest-scale underground parking lot construction project in the city, capable of accommodating 566 vehicles.

Mayor Jung directly inspected the site and examined safety measures to minimize inconvenience to citizens before completion, reviewing △work environment management in preparation for winter △inspection of cracks in interior and exterior finishing materials △appropriateness of safety facility installation.

The city plans to immediately conduct repair work for minor issues discovered during the inspection, and for matters with concerns about defects due to quality deterioration, it will implement corrective measures followed by re-inspection. Through continuous management of the construction site, the city will do its best to ensure safety and quality.

Meanwhile, the city plans to extend the underground connecting corridor currently open from Cheonggyemjungang Park to Dongtan Station further to the Yeoul Park underground parking lot, allowing citizens' east-west pedestrian movement centered around Dongtan Station.

Mayor Jung Myung-geun stated, "Yeoul Park is a core facility of the 'Botanic Garden Hwaseong' project that the city is promoting," and added, "Now that Hwaseong has become a special city, we will repay citizens with the finest spaces befitting that status."
