Osan City Holds Safety and Landscape Lighting Ceremony at Osaek Market

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park Chan-hyuk] On the 9th, Osan City held the 'Osan Osaek Market Safety and Landscape Lighting Ceremony' at Moms Street in Osaek Market, presenting a special stage of light in hopes of citizen safety and revitalization of local commerce.

At the ceremony, Mayor Lee Kwon-jae and Na Sang-bok, chairman of the city council, along with approximately 70 local residents participated, pressing the switch together to pledge their commitment to revitalizing the traditional market.

The landscape lighting installed at Moms Street in May officially turned on through this ceremony, ensuring a safe walking environment for citizens while completing the distinctive nighttime landscape unique to Osaek Market.

Additionally, outdated lighting in major passages including Red Road, Smile Street, and Beauty Street within the market was replaced with LED in August, allowing visitors to use the traditional market more comfortably and safely.

Kim Joo-hyun, chairman of the Osan Osaek Market Merchants Association, said, "As the traditional market has become brighter and safer, citizens will be able to visit with greater peace of mind," and "Our merchants will also respond with more friendly service."

Mayor Lee Kwon-jae emphasized, "Through this safety and landscape lighting project, we have dramatically improved the nighttime environment of the traditional market, and we hope that Osaek Market's distinctive landscape of light will become the driving force for leaping into the nation's finest traditional market," adding, "Going forward, Osan City will continue its unwavering support for revitalizing traditional markets and local commerce."
