Governor Kim Dong-yeon on Yongin-Seongnam Conflict 'Gogikyo' Visit: "The Answer Lies On Site"

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon once again emphasized 'field administration,' stating that the answer lies in the field.

On the 21st, Governor Kim said on Facebook, "The other day, I visited the site of the small bridge 'Gogigyo' located between Yongin City and Seongnam City and listened to the residents' opinions," explaining the conflict situation between the two regions by saying, "'Gogigyo,' a two-lane bridge 25 meters long connecting southern Yongin and northern Seongnam, symbolizes the conflict between local governments."

He added, "Severe traffic congestion continues to the extent that it is said 'it takes two hours to cross one bridge,' and urgent maintenance is needed as the stream floods every summer, but due to conflicts between the two local governments, it has been neglected for almost 20 years."

However, he emphasized, "With Gyeonggi Province's mediation, cooperation between Yongin City and Seongnam City has rapidly gained momentum, and we have decided to establish an overall plan including the expansion of Gogigyo, a tunnel, and the second Yongin-Seoul Expressway," adding, "Among these, we will quickly resolve what can be done first."

Furthermore, he promised, "Adjusting different positions and uniting efforts solely for the lives of the residents is 'hand in hand' and 'co-governance,'" and "The answer is always in the field. From now on, we will solve the residents' long-standing projects one by one, focusing on the field."
