Suwon Special City to Connect Discontinued Sections of Suwon Palsaekgil Trail

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-seong] Suwon Special City will promote 'comprehensive maintenance of Suwon Palsaekgil' through May, restoring routes discontinued due to urban development across the Suwon Palsaekgil sections throughout Suwon and replacing aged directional signs and facilities.

The project aims to connect sections severed by urban development such as the Dangsu District development and link the expanded metropolitan railway network and bus routes with walking tourism. The route system will be reorganized to enable safe use of Palsaekgil without interruptions.

Routes will be adjusted centered on Maesil-gil, Doran-gil, and Suwon Dullegil. △Maesil-gil will establish bypass routes in discontinued sections △Doran-gil will convert existing road routes to park routes △Suwon Dullegil will provide bypass routes in severed sections due to Woncheon Stream maintenance.

Facilities will also be improved. 115 aged directional signs will be completely replaced, and QR codes will be attached to information boards to strengthen map services. Aged facilities such as benches and rest areas will also be maintained.

Information services will be enhanced as well. Public transportation connection information will be provided at key points along each route, and navigation services using the website and QR codes will be integrated. The latest route map was reflected on the website in January.

A city official stated, "We focused on connecting sections discontinued due to urban changes and improving aged guidance facilities," and added, "We will continue to systematically manage walking environments linked with public transportation so citizens can safely use Suwon Palsaekgil."
