[Asia Economy Reporter Kum Boryeong] Oh Se-hoon, the People Power Party candidate for Seoul mayor, promised to relocate the Guro-dong vehicle depot and resolve the power outage issues in Sindorim-dong.

On the 6th, Oh stated on Facebook, "I will accomplish what Park Young-sun of the Democratic Party and former Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon could not," adding, "I will definitely resolve the long-standing projects in the southwestern region."

Oh explained, "The relocation of the Guro-dong vehicle depot has been a campaign promise for 16 years during every election," and said, "There have only been plans without progress, which has frustrated the residents. Recently, with the announcement of the Gwangmyeong New Town plan, hope has arisen for the depot relocation, but there is still a long way to go." The relocation of the Guro vehicle depot is one of the long-standing projects in the Guro-eul area, which was the constituency of Park Young-sun of the Democratic Party.

Oh plans to promote a complex development at the relocation site that includes lifestyle convenience facilities such as libraries, green spaces, educational facilities like schools, office facilities, and residential areas. He aims to attract core functions to the southwestern region. He said, "I will ensure it becomes a future blueprint that residents desire."

The Guro vehicle depot, Guro Tool Market, and Sindorim-dong will be developed together as a landmark area in the southwestern region. Oh said, "We will bring new changes to the area along Gyeongin-ro from Sindorim Station to Guro Station and carry out transit-oriented urban development that can cover the housing demand of Guro Digital Complex."

Oh also emphasized the need to resolve the frequently recurring power outage issues in Sindorim-dong. He stated, "This is a problem that can only be solved through redevelopment, and patchwork measures are not the answer."

According to the People Power Party, Oh visited the Guro vehicle depot located in Guro-gu, Seoul, in the afternoon of the same day. He also held a residents' meeting. At the meeting, Oh said, "If I become the mayor of Seoul, I will definitely form a special task force (TF) involving both the Seoul city government and the central government," adding, "We will proceed with plans that reflect residents' opinions rather than unilateral promotion."
