Representative Im said, "We will actively promote road construction plans to resolve traffic congestion towards Seoul, as well as expand the convenience of subway lines in the old downtown area of Gwangmyeong, including Speedom Station in the 3rd New Town."

Representative Im has been proposing and consulting on metropolitan transportation improvement measures, including the establishment of Speedom Station, and plans to continue discussions with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's Public Housing Promotion Team, LH, Gwangmyeong City, as well as Seoul City and neighboring local governments.
