Candidate Kim Myung-jin: "Creating a Premium Walking Street in the Sangmu District"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Kim Myung-jin, a preliminary candidate for the National Assembly representing Seo-gu Gap, Gwangju Metropolitan City from the Alternative New Party, announced on the 12th that he will create a "luxury street you want to walk" with forests and resting areas in the Sangmu district to establish a pleasant environment.

Candidate Kim Myung-jin stated, "From 2016 to 2018, there was a plan to develop a 12 km stretch in the Sangmu district into a luxury street," and pointed out, "However, the project ended without completing even 10% of the entire section due to failure to secure national funding."

He continued, "Creating a luxury street you want to walk is an essential project to support citizens in enjoying pleasant leisure time not only in suburban areas but also on the streets in front of their homes," adding, "We will develop the paths used by many citizens into safer, more pleasant, and restful luxury streets, contributing to the spread of walking culture for personal health improvement."

He also said, "The Sangmu district is a major thoroughfare where Subway Line 1 passes through, and the first phase of Subway Line 2, scheduled to open in 2023, will also run through this area, making it the largest densely populated area in Gwangju," promising, "In cooperation with Gwangju City and Seo-gu, we will strive to secure national funding to develop it into Gwangju's representative luxury street, achieving the dual effect of supporting citizens' leisure activities and attracting tourists."
