Uijeongbu City Creates a Safe and Pleasant Walking Environment to Become a City Where People Want to Walk.

Gyeonggi Uijeongbu City (Mayor Kim Dong-geun) announced on the 24th that it has improved the walking environment by repaving sidewalks that were causing inconvenience to residents due to aging and damage.

Previously, the city conducted a full survey of severely deteriorated sidewalks in Songsan-dong and carried out sidewalk maintenance work including the installation and replacement of sidewalk blocks and maintenance of rainwater drains in five sections including 756-8 Minrak-dong (total 2,500m).

By repairing old and damaged sidewalks and creating obstacle-free walkways, the city maximized pedestrian convenience and transformed the area into a safer and more pleasant walking environment.

Mayor Kim Dong-geun said, “We will continue to provide a better walking environment through ongoing maintenance to create a city where people want to walk safely.”
