Gangnam-gu "‘6 Exits Toward Dogok Including Gangnam Bedro Hospital Must Be Opened at GTX-C Yangjae Station Transfer Center”

Proposal of 'GTX-C Yangjae Station Underground Connection Basic Plan' to Ministry of Land on 13th... Gangnam Excluded from Project Bid Document

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangnam-gu District Office (Mayor Jeong Soon-gyun) officially submitted the "Basic Plan Proposal for Underground Connection" to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport on the 13th, which focuses on opening six entrances toward Dogok-dong, including Gangnam Bedro Hospital, at the GTX-C line Yangjae Station complex transfer center.

The proposal includes installing underground connecting passages and entrances between Subway Line 3 Yangjae Station exits 3 and 4 and the Dogok-dong section to enhance accessibility to the complex transfer center and GTX.

This is because the exits of Yangjae Station Line 3 and the Shinbundang Line are concentrated in Seocho-gu, and Gangnam-gu was excluded from the public contest plan selected for the Yangjae Station complex transfer center pilot project at the end of last year.

Yangjae Station intersection is a transportation hub where Subway Line 3 and the Shinbundang Line intersect with 107 bus routes. In particular, the Dogok-dong area near Yangjae Station has 15 apartment complexes, three elementary, middle, and high schools, and a traditional market, resulting in a large floating population, necessitating increased transportation efficiency and user convenience.

On the east and west sides of Yangjae intersection, there is an underpass, making the distance between the bus stop and Yangjae Station long and the slope difficult to access. There have also been complaints that, due to the absence of a nearby crosswalk, pedestrians must use a footbridge located 300 meters away from Yangjae Station.

Mayor Jeong Soon-gyun emphasized, "If the project proceeds according to the current public contest plan, controversy over the lack of equity between regions is inevitable," adding, "Yangjae Station, which will become a key hub for metropolitan transportation in the Seoul metropolitan area, should be a convenience facility for all citizens."
