Gimpo City confirmed the project to expand the school route from one lane to two lanes this year, following the installation of deck stairs and pedestrian spaces for students to use in the second half of last year before Modam Elementary School opened.

Mayor Kim Byung-su emphasized that since the school route expansion improvement project is directly related to student safety, it is an urgent matter that requires prompt budget allocation to quickly resolve the inconvenience.

Accordingly, Gimpo City sought solutions by closely cooperating with related organizations such as the Gimpo Office of Education, Gimpo Police Station, and school officials, along with continuous on-site monitoring. After multiple site visits and numerous meetings with related agencies, the city decided to expand the existing customary village road.

Additionally, the city is determined to create an even safer commuting environment for students by thoroughly reviewing further road facility improvement plans.

Meanwhile, Mayor Kim Byung-su led the improvement of the school route issue near Daegot Elementary School, which had been raised for a long time in the region, last February. The city signed an agreement for the creation of a school zone commuting route project in joint cooperation with the Gimpo Office of Education and Daegot Elementary School, resolving the safety issues of the Daegot Elementary School commuting route.
