Residents of Gwonseon District Voice Local Concerns to Suwon City Council Speaker Cho Seok-hwan

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Residents of Gwonseon District, including the Suwon I'Park City Village Education Community Promotion Committee (Chairman Kim Young-jin), met with Suwon City Council Speaker Cho Seok-hwan at the Suwon City Council on the 26th to present their views on local issues.

Residents first expressed concern about Deokyoung-daero (Gwongok intersection), stating that "traffic congestion will worsen further once residents begin moving into the Mangpo District and Gokban District." This matter has been posted on a Gyeonggi Province petition and has received approval from over 5,000 people.

They also requested cooperation for the prompt development of undeveloped sites in Gwonseon District.

Residents stated, "We have experienced inconvenience as no convenience or commercial facilities have been built for 10 years since the apartment sales."

In addition, they noted that recently the construction company has shown signs of changing from the original plan to mixed-use residential and office buildings, stating that "we cannot accept this change in use."

Furthermore, for the future integrated school scheduled to open in March 2023, residents must use the Air Force quarters road to access complex facilities (swimming pool, gymnasium, etc.), requiring passes to be issued. Residents emphasized the necessity of establishing a new access road.

In response, Speaker Cho Seok-hwan answered, "I will carefully review this with the relevant administrative departments of Suwon City and put our heads together with local members of the National Assembly."
