"Improvement of Jeonju Intercity Bus Terminal Environment, Jeonju City Must Take Active Measures"

Park Seon-jeon, Jeonju City Council Member, Urges Proactive Administration in Jeonju City

[Jeonju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Han-ho] A claim has been raised that Jeonju City should actively engage in improving the environment of the Jeonju intercity bus terminal.

Park Seon-jeon, a member of the Jeonju City Council (representing Jinbuk, Inhu 1?2-dong, Geumam 1?2-dong), pointed out on the 22nd during the 5-minute free speech at the 2nd plenary session of the 383rd extraordinary meeting, “While Jeonju City has failed to actively respond to the improvement of the city bus terminal environment, the city's competitiveness is declining.”

In response, Councilor Park emphasized, “Jeonju City must actively intervene in negotiations with stakeholders related to the purchase of nearby stores and land, as well as in procedures for urban planning changes including road expansion.”

Councilor Park stated, “The Jeonju intercity bus terminal is the gateway and face of Jeollabuk-do, used by 6 million people annually,” and urged, “Please find the proper face of Jeonju City through proactive administration.”

Built in 1973, the Jeonju intercity bus terminal has been criticized for causing inconvenience to users due to safety threats from aging, lack of boarding and alighting facilities, and insufficient convenience facilities.

Accordingly, Jeonju City is promoting a project to improve the environment of the Jeonju intercity bus terminal, centered on constructing a new terminal with one basement floor and 7 to 10 floors above ground on a 24,897㎡ site, at a cost of 23 billion KRW. However, negotiations surrounding the purchase of stores and land have not been smooth, and the project is currently stalled.
