Mapo-gu to Review Technical Route Changes to Avoid Private Property Invasion, Plans to Promote Technical Service

Mapo-gu (Mayor Park Gang-su) received an opposition letter from the residents' representative meeting of Sangam World Cup Park 7 Complex Apartments in Sangam-dong regarding the route of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s ‘Daejang-Hongdae Line Metropolitan Railroad Construction Project’ and submitted it to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

The letter submitted by the residents' representative meeting opposes the section of the ‘Daejang-Hongdae Line Metropolitan Railroad Construction Project’ route (34.9㎡) passing beneath the World Cup Park 7 Complex apartment complex, and it includes the signatures of 1,503 apartment residents.

According to the letter, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and Hyundai Construction included a route that encroaches on part of the apartment land without prior notice or consultation with the residents of the World Cup Park 7 Complex Apartments during the detailed design of the Daejang-Hongdae Line metropolitan railroad.

In response, the apartment residents argued that the vibrations and noise caused by the metropolitan railroad passing beneath the apartments would cause extreme stress and anxiety, seriously harming residents’ health, and expressed anger at the one-sided, non-communicative administration.

They also strongly urged the route to be changed outside of private property, fearing safety issues due to physical impacts such as cracks, leaks, and structural weakening of the apartments.

Park Gang-su, Mayor of Mapo-gu, who held a meeting with the residents' representative meeting, said, “We fully understand and empathize with the concerns and worries of the residents caused by the Daejang-Hongdae Line metropolitan railroad construction project,” and added, “Mapo-gu will actively consult and respond with relevant agencies to ensure that the route change can be made according to the residents’ wishes.”

Mapo-gu plans to promote a technical route change review service to ensure that the Daejang-Hongdae Line metropolitan railroad does not encroach on the apartment’s private land in order to protect residents’ right to life and property.
