Candidate Yibong Lee: "Prompt Resolution of Residents' Everyday Inconveniences"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Lee Yong-bin, the preliminary candidate for the Democratic Party of Korea in Gwangsan-gap, Gwangju Metropolitan City, stated on the 25th, "We will promptly resolve the issues causing inconvenience to the daily lives of residents in the Gwangsan-gap area."

Candidate Lee said, "The Gwangsan-gap electoral district is an old downtown area with aging facilities and infrastructure that cannot keep up with the times, causing many difficulties in residents' daily lives. Over the past four years, I have served as the Democratic Party's Gwangsan-gap regional chairman and have worked hard to resolve numerous living complaints, but there are still many pending issues to be addressed."

In particular, Candidate Lee pointed out, "The most critical issue to guard against is the inconvenience caused by administrative convenience. For example, the Sochon railroad crossing grade separation project, which involved an investment of 24 billion KRW, failed to incorporate the voices of local residents from the design stage, resulting in the construction period being extended to twice the original schedule and ultimately halted due to residents' opposition. This is the most egregious case."

He continued, "We will promptly complete the construction by reflecting residents' opinions, including the establishment of a fire truck bypass road that was not considered during the underpass design, relocation and installation of the electrical room, installation of elevators for the transportation disadvantaged, and improvement of the steep slope of the underpass sidewalk."

He also emphasized, "An apartment in Usan-dong, which was used as the athletes' village for the Gwangju World Swimming Championships, will have 1,660 households moving in next month. However, leaving the existing residential area as it is has caused inconvenience for children's commuting due to old and narrow sidewalks and roads. We will promptly promote the installation of safe school routes for Songwoo Elementary School and similarly for Maji Elementary School and Unnam Elementary School in Unnam-dong."

Candidate Lee's urgent resident life issues to be addressed include ▲ implementation of the natural village redevelopment project ▲ opening of a fire road from the back gate of Woobang Apartment to the back gate of Jugong 5th Complex ▲ establishment of community care for permanent rental housing in Usan-dong ▲ expansion and reduction of bus intervals for village buses in rural areas such as Samdo, Bonryang, Donggok, and Pyeongdong ▲ prompt relocation of Pyeongdong shooting range ▲ installation of direct sewage treatment pipeline in Eoryong-dong ▲ installation of convenience facilities in Seonun District waterfront park ▲ prompt opening of the road section from Gwangju Police Agency to Hwangryong Motel ▲ opening of the entrance road to Eodeungsan from Sochon-ro to Mujin-ro ▲ securing parking lots for Eodeungsan hiking trails ▲ opening of fire roads in Songjeong Park ▲ opening of the entrance road to the Bonryang-dong auto camping site ▲ support for village activists.

As pledges for residents' living issues, he proposed ▲ attracting the Hwangryonggang National Wetland Center ▲ creating Eodeungsan Dulle-gil and Uibyeong-gil trails ▲ opening a direct transaction market in Nongchon-dong ▲ creating Gwangsan Recreation Forest and opening hiking trails on Yongjin Mountain ▲ creating a family theme park for companion animals ▲ establishing Gwangsan Tax Office ▲ establishing Gwangsan Office of Education ▲ strengthening village community radio frequencies ▲ revitalizing village media ▲ constructing Im Bang-ul Gugak Transmission Center and Park Yong-cheol Poetry Museum ▲ creating an equestrian theme park ▲ supporting high-income crops in Nongchon-dong ▲ promoting farm income increase and management improvement ▲ supporting horticultural export promotion, among others.
