Pyeongchak Mayor Jung Jang-sun Completes Inspection of Major Project Sites

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Pyeongchak Mayor Jung Jang-sun completed inspections of major project sites for 2020 in Pyeongchak from the 6th to the 18th.

The site inspections focused on ▲greenery development sites in the western region ▲Hambaek Mountain neighborhood park within the Goduck internationalization planning district ▲arterial road networks including the Eastern Expressway and northern area road development project sites ▲urban regeneration project sites in the southern region.

Mayor Jung first visited the western region on the 6th, surveying greenery and forestry around National Road 38 and Pyeongchak Port area, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive planning to maintain a verdant environment even during winter.

He then visited the Hambaek Mountain neighborhood park construction site in Goduck. The Hambaek Mountain neighborhood park, with a total area of 672,283 square meters, is being developed while preserving the original egret habitat. Currently, design is complete and phase two construction is underway. The city plans to actively incorporate landmark elements, including the creation of symbolic spaces, as it is the central park of the Goduck internationalization planning district.

On the 9th and 11th, he inspected road construction project sites being pursued to resolve chronic traffic congestion. At the Eastern Expressway and National Road 1~Namnam Boulevard road opening construction and Singung intersection improvement project sites, Mayor Jung requested that "relevant agencies actively cooperate to promote projects on schedule and proactively review anticipated civil complaints to ensure resident opinions are maximally reflected."

On the 18th, he visited urban regeneration project sites in the southern region. Urban regeneration projects are initiatives the city prioritizes to revitalize old downtown areas and resolve urban imbalances. The city was selected for four projects—Ahn-jeong, Seo-jeong, Shin-pyeong, and Shin-jang—in the 2019 government public competition.

After completing the site visit, Mayor Jung stated, "While focusing on COVID-19 quarantine measures, I ask that necessary tasks be meticulously promoted," and added, "Please consider what matters from the citizens' perspective and promote projects with sufficient deliberation."
