Park Gang-su, Mayor of Mapo District, Repeatedly Urges Addition of DMC Station

Park Gang-su, Mayor of Mapo District, attended the Western Metropolitan Railroad 'Daejang~Hongdae Line' Construction Project Promotion Committee meeting at the district office's main conference room on the morning of the 18th.

At the meeting, 19 committee members including Mayor Park Gang-su discussed the prompt advancement of the Western region metropolitan railroad construction project and the expansion of DMC Station.

Mayor Park Gang-su appointed three new experts in the railway field as committee members to add DMC Station to the 'Daejang~Hongdae Line' railway project connecting Bucheon Daejang New Town to Mapo Hongdae Entrance Station.

Following this, they reviewed the progress of the project and listened to a report by railway engineer Kim Haeng-bae on the 'necessity of additional expansion of DMC Station,' followed by a discussion session.

Mayor Park Gang-su emphasized, "Near DMC Station, approximately 80,000 households reside not only in Sangam-dong but also in the neighboring Gyeonggi Province, and there are major broadcasting stations and IT company business districts, resulting in a daily floating population of 120,000 people. The installation of DMC Station is an essential matter for the development of Mapo and the convenience of residents' transportation."

In May, Mayor Park Gang-su strongly requested the addition of DMC Station during a meeting with Won Hee-ryong, Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and again in August, he urged Kang Hee-eop, Chairman of the Metropolitan Area Wide-area Transportation Committee of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, to install DMC Station.
