Seoul’s Yeongdeungpo District, led by District Mayor Jo Yujin, said on November 2 that it had promptly addressed safety-related issues among the 213 suggestions residents submitted as the mayor personally visited 18 neighborhoods, and included projects requiring budget funding in next year’s budget.

The district operated its “Mobile Civil Service Office” from August 24 to October 21, 2026. Most of the suggestions concerned everyday issues, including parking and traffic, improvements to pedestrian environments, residential conditions, maintenance of parks and public facilities, and redevelopment and reconstruction.

The district repaired a steep sidewalk near 348 Yeongdeungpo-ro that posed a risk to wheelchair users and replaced worn tactile paving at 55 Yeongjung-ro. It installed handrails on the stairs beside the Nodeul-gil interchange and repaired the arcade on Singil Cherry Blossom Street. It also stepped up efforts to remove abandoned bicycles around Daerim Station and inspect for illegal dumping around the Mokhwa Maeul Community Center.

Funding for expanded park rest areas, repairs to aging emergency bells and improvements to their location identification, replacement of worn sidewalk blocks, and curb-cut construction was included in next year’s budget. The district plans to manage medium- and long-term projects, including the Singil Family Happiness Town, scheduled to open in 2028, and changes to tree species along roads, through phased plans.

A district official said, “We will ensure that even small suggestions lead to tangible changes residents can feel, and will carry them out without delay.”
