Guk Gang-hyeon, Gwangsan District Councilor in Gwangju, Urges Safety Measures for the Entrance Road to 'Bitgreen Industrial Complex'
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Guk Gang-hyun, a member of the Gwangsan District Council in Gwangju Metropolitan City, has called for safety measures on the access road to the Bitgreen Industrial Complex.
On the 20th, during the 5-minute free speech at the 1st plenary session of the 253rd extraordinary meeting, Councilor Guk pointed out safety issues, stating, "The access road to the Bitgreen Industrial Complex, created to guarantee business activities, is becoming a road that threatens lives."
He added, "Before the industry even started operating, there was a fatal accident caused by a motorcycle driving in the wrong direction, and cars have consecutively collided with traffic light poles that lack safety devices. The agricultural machinery passageway, made for farming, is steep and very narrow, posing risks not only of overturning accidents but also collisions with transport trucks related to the industrial complex," emphasizing the dangers.
He continued, "Farmers using cultivators and tractors during the busy farming season are suffering the double hardship of detouring 2 km on a passageway without safety devices," and urged, "The district mayor should personally visit and inspect to ensure the road does not become one that ignores safety and threatens farmers' lives."
He also stressed, "Although the access road to the Bitgreen Industrial Complex is scheduled to be transferred to and managed by the Gwangju Metropolitan City Comprehensive Construction Headquarters, the farm roads and adjacent roads are managed by Gwangsan District. If action is not taken now, the timing for improvements will become uncertain and additional budgets will be required."
