[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] On the 11th, Park Seong-su, Mayor of Songpa-gu, visited Jamsilsaenae Station, which has completed remodeling, together with local residents and expressed gratitude to the employees of Seoul Metro.


Jamsilsaenae Station, opened in the 1980s, is used by more than 26,000 people daily on average, but its facilities had become extremely outdated over more than 40 years, leading to strong demands for improvements in facility environment and air quality.


In response, Songpa-gu listened to the voices of its residents and continuously requested the necessity of remodeling work to the Seoul Metropolitan Government, Seoul Metro, and the Ministry of Environment.


As a result, it was selected as a national subsidy project, with a project cost of 38.4 billion KRW invested. Construction began in January last year and was completed last month.


Through this remodeling, major facility improvements were made, including ▲addition of convenience facilities ▲upgrading of cooling and ventilation systems ▲replacement of fire extinguishing and evacuation equipment ▲stabilization of power supply systems ▲introduction of LED lighting ▲internet expansion through rearrangement of information and communication systems ▲replacement of slim-type gates.



Park Seong-su, who visited the Jamsilsaenae Station site, said, “I am pleased that residents will be able to use the station conveniently with the introduction of sophisticated interior design and the latest cooling facilities,” and added, “I thank the residents of Songpa-gu who patiently endured the inconvenience for a long time, and I also express my gratitude to the Seoul Metro officials who worked hard to promote this project.”
