This inspection targeted five locations, including large construction sites and new neighborhood facility construction sites within the city. The purpose was to check for unauthorized occupation of sidewalks and to verify the implementation of safety management measures around construction sites on-site, in order to prevent complaints from citizens regarding inconveniences to pedestrian traffic.

The inspection team, consisting of three members including the head of the city’s road department, visited the construction sites directly and met with site personnel. They thoroughly checked the following aspects around the construction sites: whether sidewalks near the sites were damaged or subsided, the condition of the surrounding roads, whether safe pedestrian spaces were secured, whether the construction site fences were occupying sidewalks without authorization, and the snow removal status around the sites.

Additionally, if any safety hazards such as damaged sidewalks or obstacles to pedestrian movement were found, the inspection team required on-site corrective action from the construction personnel.

A Guri City official stated, "We will continue to conduct on-site inspections of sidewalk damage and encroachment on pedestrian spaces around large construction sites to do our utmost to minimize inconvenience for citizens."
