[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] On the 9th, Uiwang Mayor Kim Sang-don inspected civic life sites directly related to citizens' safety in preparation for winter, coinciding with the "27th On-Site Administration Day."

Mayor Kim inspected the renovation site of the aging elevator at Gocheon Overpass, child protection zone maintenance site, habitually frozen road sections in winter, and roads with automatic salt-water spray system installations.

He also visited the construction site of a next-generation intelligent traffic system, which includes real-time traffic information collection and provision, signal control systems, emergency vehicle priority signal systems, and parking information systems. He instructed the relevant departments: "Through system operation, reduce unnecessary signal waiting times and decrease traffic congestion so that citizens' traffic safety and convenience can be improved with careful attention."

After completing the on-site inspection, Mayor Kim stated, "Make utmost efforts to prepare for winter disasters and accidents to secure citizens' safety to the maximum and minimize inconveniences," and declared, "The city will make all-out efforts to ensure all citizens can spend a safe winter by establishing thorough advance preparations and a swift response system so that there is no damage to citizens this winter."

He continued, "To overcome COVID-19, active participation from citizens is essential, including wearing masks at all times and refraining from year-end and New Year gatherings," and said, "We will concentrate all administrative power so that Uiwang City becomes a safe city for its residents."

Meanwhile, Mayor Kim Sang-don has been consistently conducting on-site administration that seeks solutions by personally visiting major civic complaint sites since taking office. To date, he has resolved 75 inconveniences in daily life, including installation of school route safety facilities, construction of a small-scale performance stage in parks, and strengthened safety measures around Hak-ui Stream.
