Getting Closer to the Citizens… Dongducheon Mayor Park Hyung-deok Visits Bulhyeon-dong “The Voice of the Citizens Indicates the Direction of City Administration”
- Reporter Ha In-gyu
(Dongducheon=Break News, Northeast Gyeonggi Province) On the 15th, Dongducheon City (Mayor Park Hyung-deok) visited Naehang 2 Children's Park in Bulhyeon-dong and held a hands-on meeting with residents under the theme of “On-site Response, Mayor Visits Citizens.”
This on-site visit, under the city slogan of “Renewing Dongducheon, Energizing Citizens,” was organized to directly visit various areas of the city to hear the voices of residents and address their daily inconveniences. The event was attended by heads of various departments in City Hall and approximately 100 residents of Bulhyeon-dong.
■ Requests for Road and Traffic Improvements Continue
Residents first focused on raising concerns about traffic and safety issues. At the intersection near Bulhyeon-ro, concerns were raised about the narrow gap between the vehicle entrance and the sidewalk, posing a danger to pedestrians. Furthermore, concerns were raised about flooding due to poor drainage in the Wangan-ro area, and calls were made for improvements to the damaged road section and traffic congestion around the Gwangam-dong Sports Complex.
Respondents from the Transportation Administration and Parks and Green Spaces Divisions, who were present at the scene, decided to immediately inspect the site and consider improving vehicle flow, widening the sidewalk, and installing additional catch basins.
Mayor Park Hyung-deok stated, "Road issues directly related to the safety of citizens cannot be delayed," and urged, "We must swiftly develop improvement measures through interdepartmental cooperation."
■ Calls for Improved Living Environment and Cleaner Community Development
In the living environment, key suggestions included a lack of trash separation bins, requests for additional CCTV cameras in areas prone to illegal dumping, and the unpleasant odor around the waste disposal site. Residents of the 2nd district, in particular, emphasized the need for expanded bus stop facilities and improved surrounding environment.
In response, the Environmental Business Office and the Urban Regeneration Division immediately inspected the site, reviewed potential CCTV installation locations, and announced plans to strengthen regular inspections and disinfection to reduce odors.
Mayor Park stated, "Since the issue of household waste is a highly sensitive issue for citizens, we will proactively manage the situation to prevent recurrence of these inconveniences."
■ Numerous Opinions on Welfare and Resident Life
In the welfare sector, numerous inconveniences were raised, particularly for the disabled and elderly. Residents complained that overgrown trees around disabled residents made walking difficult, requesting pruning and road maintenance. They also suggested installing additional streetlights to ensure safer nighttime walking for elderly residents.
Furthermore, there were continued calls for welfare programs closely related to daily life, such as improved accessibility to local medical institutions and the establishment of new pharmacies. The Welfare Policy Division and the Building Permit Division decided to review relevant laws and regulations and develop collaborative measures to improve access to medical services.
■ Requests for Sports Facility Budget and Environmental Improvements
Residents also expressed diverse opinions on sports. In particular, there were requests for the Sports Council's budget to be distributed fairly relative to population, along with requests for the renovation of aging sports complexes and public sports facilities and improved accessibility.
In response, the Sports Promotion Division stated, "We will review a reasonable budget allocation plan that reflects the population and usage patterns of each dong," and added, "We will also improve the environment to increase satisfaction with sports facilities."
■ "The Voice of Citizens is the Compass for City Administration"
Concluding the visit, Mayor Park Hyung-deok pledged, "All the suggestions we heard today will be responsibly reviewed by the relevant departments, and if any issues require action, we will revisit the sites in person."
He continued, "True administration begins with listening to citizens' concerns and finding solutions on the ground. We will continue to frequently visit residents to realize a citizen-centered administration."
Dongducheon City plans to establish regular on-site communication tours of each dong, starting with this visit to Bulhyeon-dong, to actively incorporate citizens' voices into city administration. <저작권자 ⓒ 브레이크뉴스 경기동북부 무단전재 및 재배포 금지>
