Councilor Kim Eun-soo Inspects Safe School Commute at Songjung Elementary

Kim Eun-soo, a councilor at the Suwon Special City Council (People Power Party, representing Pajang, Songchuk, and Jowon District 2), visited Songjung Elementary School on the 20th to conduct an on-site inspection aimed at creating a safe commute environment for students and addressing issues surrounding the school.

This field visit was undertaken to directly examine environmental and pedestrian conditions near the school and devise improvement measures, including addressing the problem of garbage accumulation occurring on the school commute routes around Songjung Elementary.

Councilor Kim examined the garbage accumulation situation around the ancient pine trees in the Nosong area near the school and emphasized the need to review cleaning and management systems to ensure a cleaner and safer environment, given that students use this commute route daily.

He also requested consideration of installing informational signage about the history of Nosong and King Jeongjo to help students and residents easily understand the historical significance of the ancient pines located near the school. The intent is not merely to preserve an old tree but to utilize it as a regional historical and cultural resource, transforming it into both an educational space for students and a destination for residents. Additionally, he requested review of additional safety measures, such as reinforcing safety fences in front of the school.

Councilor Kim stated, "Since the school commute route students use daily is one where even minor inconveniences can be directly connected to safety, it is important to examine and improve conditions on-site," and added, "From resolving garbage accumulation issues to improving pedestrian environments and installing informational facilities about the region's historical value, I will continuously coordinate with relevant departments to ensure changes that both students and residents can experience."
