Taebaek City in Gangwon Province (Mayor Lee Sangho) announced on the 18th that a temporary public parking lot with a total of 72 spaces has been created on the site for the construction of the Dream Tantan Eumteo near Hwangji Elementary School, and will be open to citizens starting from the 19th.

The city leveled the ground within the site and demolished the old fence to provide a safe and convenient parking space. By removing the fence, openness and visibility were improved, which enhanced parking accessibility and also improved the cityscape.

The newly established temporary public parking lot will be operated until January 2027, before the groundbreaking for the Dream Tantan Eumteo, and will be available free of charge to all citizens.

This project is expected to not only alleviate the chronic parking shortage in downtown Hwangji, but also ease congestion during student drop-off and pick-up times at Hwangji Elementary School, and improve the parking space shortage for nearby residents, thereby enhancing overall living conditions.

Lee Sangho, Mayor of Taebaek, stated, "The establishment of the temporary public parking lot will help increase convenience for residents and ensure student safety," adding, "We will continue to implement policies that citizens can truly feel, reflecting their opinions in the future."
