Gwacheon City Conducts On-site Inspection of Jebiul Stream Walking Trail in Knowledge Information Town

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Yu Je-seong] Gwacheon City visited the construction site of the Jebiul Stream walking trail in the Knowledge Information Town on the 19th to inspect the condition and safety of the facilities.

This inspection was conducted to ensure safety ahead of the early opening of the Jebiul Stream walking trail, and was attended by Mayor Shin Gye-yong, Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH), and experts in related fields.

The city had originally planned to open the Jebiul Stream walking trail at the time of the second-stage completion in June, but decided to open the walking trail at the end of March in response to residents' continuous requests and citizens' demand for leisure and rest spaces.

Jebiul Stream is a major river in the Knowledge Information Town, and river maintenance and walking trail construction work are currently underway. Although the walking trail remains unopened, there have been users, raising concerns about safety accidents.

The city plans to complete necessary supplementary measures based on the inspection results and then open the walking trail so that citizens can use it safely and conveniently.

A city official said, "As we are promoting early opening so that citizens can use the Jebiul Stream walking trail more quickly, we will do our best to ensure safety and manage facilities," and added, "We will continue to expand leisure spaces that citizens can use in their daily lives."
