Youngtong District Unveils Public Design Street Vendor Booths

Street vendor stalls and shoe repair kiosks in Suwon, which had infringed on pedestrians' right of way due to indiscriminate product displays and roadside repair work, and had become eyesores drawing public complaints, have been redesigned with a public standard design and were unveiled at a handover ceremony on the 1st.

Designed with a concept of human-centered consideration and harmony with nature toward the future, the booths feature aesthetic appeal, safety, and economic efficiency. Six street vendor stalls and two shoe repair kiosks were installed at a total project cost of 144 million won, marking the first such production in the province.

The booths were manufactured using high-strength steel plates with aluminum extrusion structures, with all facilities—including newspaper racks, refrigerators, product display counters, and canopies—built-in as wall-embedded units.

In particular, the shoe repair kiosks demonstrated at today's ceremony drew attention by attaching sealed tool containers on the exterior, to be used only during shoe repair work, which is expected to resolve previous inconveniences to pedestrians and environmental pollution caused by roadside work.
