- Reporter Ha In-gyu

(Namyangju = Break News Gyeonggi Northeast) Namyangju City (Mayor Joo Kwang-deok) announced on the 31st that it is actively promoting a pedestrian environment improvement project, such as replacing old sidewalk blocks, to provide citizens with a safe and pleasant pedestrian environment.

The pedestrian environment improvement project is being carried out sequentially within the budget, focusing on the maintenance of old sidewalks in the downtown areas such as Toegyewon-eup, Byeollae-myeon, Jinjeop-eup, and Wabu-eup.

Among the business sections, the section of Toegyewon-eup Dojewon-ro (Toegyewon-ri 53-11~221-1) has been reported to have inconvenient pedestrians through the National Archives, etc. Accordingly, the city is replacing it with a permeable block with enhanced drainage function, considering △aging, △flatness, and △permeability.

In addition, the city is conducting a demand survey and on-site investigation targeting the section of old sidewalks in the Cheonghak district of Byeollae-myeon (Cheonghak-ri 409-5, 419-6, 426-3) reflecting administrative audit findings and residents’ suggestions, and is currently promoting the maintenance by establishing a sequential maintenance plan considering the year of completion of the residential area.

A city official stated, “Improving the sidewalk environment is an absolutely necessary project to prevent pedestrian accidents for citizens. Namyangju City will continue to do its best to create a pedestrian environment that residents can use safely and comfortably.” Meanwhile, starting this year, the city has expanded and reorganized the department in charge of road management to efficiently manage roads, and is operating a ‘Road Management Office’ comprised of three departments.
