[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju Metropolitan City Gwangsan-gu Facilities Management Corporation (Chairman Shin Seonho) announced on the 28th that it will open 19 public paid parking lots (1,516 spaces) free of charge from the 29th of this month to the 2nd of next month during the Lunar New Year holiday period.
The corporation decided to deploy parking management personnel during this period to alleviate parking congestion caused by the surge in users.
In particular, the free opening of directly managed paid parking lots such as Songjeong Daily Market Shopping Center Parking Tower, 1913 Songjeong Station Market Parking Tower, and Wolgok Market Parking Tower, where many citizens are expected to visit traditional markets and local commercial districts during the Lunar New Year holiday, is expected to partially resolve parking issues such as traffic inconvenience caused by illegal parking.
Chairman Shin Seonho said, "I hope that the free opening of public parking lots will provide a small help to revitalize the local economy during the difficult times of COVID-19."
