Uijeongbu City Presents Commendation Plaques at February Monthly Briefing

Uijeongbu City (Mayor An Byung-yong) held its monthly briefing on February 1 and pledged that all employees would actively respond to the Uijeongbu Light Rail Transit issues with wisdom, as if they were their own responsibility.

Mayor An Byung-yong selected 10 employees from those who had read Uijeongbu City's book of the year and submitted book reports, presenting awards to them. He then urged the approximately 1,300 civil servants of Uijeongbu City to "read at least 2 books per year so that your thinking muscles can grow."

He also noted that "seemingly impossible projects such as the opening of Howon Interchange, the Baekseok Stream restoration project, the underground development of Gwilak Village, the underground bypass of the Eastern Main Road, and the complex cultural creative city project were all accomplished through earnest desire," adding that "I was surprised that things strangely come to fruition when you earnestly wish for them."

On this day, Uijeongbu City pledged that all employees would take the lead in crisis response efforts for emergency measures regarding the light rail transit. The city also committed to making every effort to promote major tasks and projects in 2017, and to be thorough in thaw season safety management to prevent landslides, collapses, and burial accidents at disaster-vulnerable sites such as construction sites during the thaw season, embankments, and retaining walls.
