Guri City said on October 15 that Mayor Shin conducted a “Citizen Empathy Road Check” on October 14 at the artificial-turf soccer field construction site at the Civic Sports Complex and in the Topyeong 2 Public Housing District.


The on-site inspection was conducted to check the construction status of major facilities and directly examine the inconveniences residents face and institutional issues, with the aim of developing practical solutions.


Mayor Shin first visited the Civic Sports Complex, where two artificial-turf soccer fields and supporting facilities are under construction. He checked the progress of work on major facilities, including the stadium and parking lot, and focused on the need to improve the adjacent pedestrian path and vehicle access road, which had been the subject of complaints.


In particular, to reduce harm to residents caused by speeding and noise, he examined the possibility of installing traffic safety facilities, including speed enforcement cameras, and instructed the relevant departments to develop effective measures.


He then visited farmland in the Topyeong 2 Public Housing District and listened to residents' concerns. Mayor Shin received reports on inconveniences arising from farmland-related regulations and administrative procedures, and directly examined conditions at the site.


Guri City plans to review measures to improve the system based on feedback from the site, with the aim of reducing residents' difficulties caused by the long period between the designation of the public housing district and compensation and the start of construction.


Mayor Shin stressed, “The Civic Sports Complex is a community sports facility used by many residents, so we must pay close attention to safety and convenience through to the final stages of construction.”


He added, “We will carefully review ways to address the difficulties faced by residents of the Topyeong 2 district, and actively submit proposals to the relevant agencies on areas that require improvements to the system.”



Meanwhile, Guri City plans to continue visiting major project sites and locations affecting residents' livelihoods to directly identify and resolve residents' concerns, while strengthening its on-site approach to administration.
