Dongjak-gu Operates 'Project Feasibility Verification Team' for Sidewalk Maintenance Construction

Experts and Residents to Determine Feasibility of Sidewalk Maintenance Projects Over 100m

Dongjak-gu (Mayor Park Ilha) announced on the 21st that it will operate a 'Project Feasibility Verification Team' to assess the feasibility of carrying out sidewalk maintenance projects exceeding 100 meters.

The verification team will conduct on-site inspections of the planned sidewalk maintenance sections and decide whether to proceed based on an evaluation checklist. They will also determine the scope of the construction and the paving materials to be used.

Until now, public institution sidewalk block maintenance projects have been criticized as habitual and wasteful of budget.

The district has established this institutional measure to improve such practices and to review projects once again before implementation to prevent budget waste.

The team is composed of 31 members, including experts with over 10 years of experience in construction, tax accountants, lawyers, and local residents. Sidewalk maintenance projects can only proceed with the agreement of the majority of the members.

In the future, if the operation of the verification team proves effective, the 'Project Feasibility Verification' system will be expanded to all road construction projects.

The district is also improving its working methods by operating the "Road, Traffic, and Construction Administration Task Force," which works on weekends and holidays to quickly resolve residents' inconveniences.

Park Ilha, Mayor of Dongjak-gu, said, “With the operation of this project feasibility verification team, we will be able to prevent budget waste when promoting sidewalk maintenance projects,” and added, “We will continue to improve our working methods for the transformation of Dongjak.”
