[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Yeongdeungpo-gu (Mayor Chae Hyun-il) completely restricted vehicle traffic and installed barricades on April 8 along a 1.7km section from the south end of Seogang Bridge to the Uiwonhoe-gwan intersection to operate the Yeouiseo-ro Spring Flower Road.

Due to early heat and spring rain accelerating the cherry blossom fall, the district changed the traffic control schedule to lift the restriction at 11 a.m. on April 14, four days earlier than the original date of April 18.

Mayor Chae Hyun-il said, “Due to the earlier-than-expected cherry blossom fall, the opening schedule of the Yeouiseo-ro Spring Flower Road was shortened,” adding, “I hope that next spring we can enjoy the spring flowers without masks in a peaceful daily life.”

Nowon-gu (Mayor Oh Seung-rok) held the ‘Nowon-gu Office-Seoul National University of Science and Technology Culture and Sports Activation Business Agreement Ceremony’ at 3:30 p.m. on the 14th in the small conference room of the district office.

This agreement was prepared to strengthen public-academic cooperation by conducting joint projects to contribute to the development of the local community’s culture and sports fields and sharing facilities owned by both institutions.

The main agreements include ▲ comprehensive business agreement on culture and sports fields ▲ practical agreement on the creation and use of an artificial turf field.

In particular, the district plans to contribute to improving the educational environment of Seoul National University of Science and Technology by supporting the creation of an artificial turf field in the university’s playground, while opening and allowing Nowon-gu residents to use the field to revitalize sports development in the Nowon-gu community.

The ceremony was attended by Nowon-gu Mayor Oh Seung-rok, Seoul National University of Science and Technology President Lee Dong-hoon, Student Council President Kwon Oh-hoon, among others, and proceeded in the order of a meeting, explanation of the agreement purpose, signing of the agreement, and commemorative photo session.

Mayor Oh Seung-rok said, “Thank you for cooperating to develop the local community’s culture and sports,” and added, “I hope both institutions will work together to ensure the agreement is well implemented.”
