Suwon Completes 'Yuljon Third Public Parking Lot' with 44 Spaces Under Bambam Elevated Roadway

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] A new public parking lot with capacity for 44 vehicles has been completed in the vicinity of Sungkyunkwan University Station on Line 1 of the National Railroad, an area that had been suffering from parking shortages.

Suwon Special City has constructed the Yuljon Third Public Parking Lot, spanning 2,060 square meters, under the Bambam elevated roadway (Yuljon-dong, 281-3 area). The lot will operate for free from the 15th as a temporary operation, with formal operation (paid) beginning February 1st.

The construction of Yuljon Third Public Parking Lot had been a long-standing wish of the Yuljon-dong community. The area, with its dense concentration of commercial establishments and residences and proximity to Sungkyunkwan University Station, regularly faces severe parking shortages. The construction of a parking lot had been difficult due to the area's many steep roads.

To resolve parking shortages, the city held field traffic consultations in July of last year with the relevant police department and transportation experts to develop a parking lot plan, began construction in October of last year, and completed it in December. To facilitate smooth project implementation, the city actively secured budgets promptly.

A city official stated, "To resolve parking shortages, we will develop hidden spaces and underutilized public facilities into parking lots," and added, "We will establish efficient and sustainable parking infrastructure."
