[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] The Wirye-Hanam Extension Promotion Alliance, composed of residents of Wirye New Town, visited the Sejong Metropolitan Area Wide-Area Transportation Committee and submitted a petition urging the extension of the Wirye Sinsa Line to Hanam.

On the 29th, the promotion alliance stated, "A total of 14,807 citizens from Hanam City, Seongnam City, and Songpa-gu, Seoul, signed the petition."

The promotion alliance urged the extension of the Wirye Sinsa Line to Hanam, saying, "Hanam citizens who moved into Wirye New Town have paid transportation facility contributions amounting to 14 million KRW but have suffered from transportation deprivation for over five years."

They also pointed out that while the Wirye Songpa area is undergoing the Wirye Sinsa Line and tram projects, and the Wirye Seongnam area is progressing with Line 8's Unam Station, the Wirye Hanam area has no transportation measures, which poses serious issues regarding fairness and regional balanced development policies.

The Wirye Sinsa Line Hanam extension project involves adding one station 0.92 km from Wirye Jungang Station to the Wirye Hanam area, with a total project cost of 95.8 billion KRW.
