Suwon City will implement the 'Green Parking' project to resolve parking shortages and improve alley traffic. This year, the city will begin with 10 locations and 168 households, eventually targeting all 620 households by 2009.
This year, the city will invest 800 million won to prioritize implementation in six districts: Songju-dong, Godeung-dong, Maetan 2·3-dong, Tap-dong, and Gueun-dong. The city plans to complete the Green Parking village planning survey by August and begin design and construction in September.
The city's plan is to sequentially expand the Green Parking village designation project each year: 10 locations (168 households) this year, 14 locations (200 households, 1.5 billion won investment) in 2008, and 16 locations (252 households) in 2009.
The Green Parking project involves removing residential fences to create parking spaces and green areas, thereby securing parking and improving residential environments.
The city held resident briefing sessions on June 26, starting in Godeung-dong, targeting 200-plus households across 10 locations in six districts.
Additionally, on the 13th and 18th, the city conducted site visits to Green Parking villages in Gwanak-gu, Gangdong-gu, and Guro-gu in Seoul with 85 residents from the pilot areas as part of resident opinion-gathering processes.
The city will target one-way alley roads (3-6m) to remove residential fences and gates, relocate utility poles underground or elsewhere, and install parking spaces, gardens, and pedestrian paths.
Meanwhile, the city will expand public parking lot projects in six districts this year, with plans to complete parking lots first in Yeonghwa-dong, Seryuu 2-dong, and Ingye-dong areas.
Additionally, the city will implement projects to secure 5,000 street parking spaces citywide by 2010 and expand the one-way traffic system on alley roads to 200 locations. By the end of this year, the city will secure 150 street parking spaces and designate 40 roads as one-way traffic routes.
