Next, Councilor Oh Kwang-mook questioned measures regarding the bankruptcy of subcontractors caused by Suncheon City's responsibility during the Palma Stadium renovation project promoted in 2015, and the road improvement plan from Tongcheon Village to Gyo-ryang Bridge. He also urged Suncheon City to make efforts to become a central city commemorating and memorializing the Yeosun October 19 Uprising.

Lastly, Councilor Heo Yoo-in asked about the progress of the Yeonhyangddeul urban development project and detailed land use plans. He proposed lowering the height of the buffer green space near Baekgang-ro from Geumdang Park to Suncheon Postal Concentration Office and creating diagonal parking lots within the buffer green space to revitalize the Yeonhyang Geumdang area. He also suggested opening a pedestrian area from Baekgang-ro towards the old Haneulmi as a road. Additionally, he proposed changes to the landscape plan for efficient station area development around Suncheon Station and modifications to the building restrictions in the central city street zone.
