Gwonseon 3 District Residents: "Strong Struggle to Relocate Bus Depot"

About 20 residents from Gwonseon 3 District visited the city council plenary hall on the 14th to observe a matter of opinion hearing, opposing the construction of a public bus depot being pursued in Gokbanjeong-dong.

These residents called for the relocation of the southern public bus depot and announced that they will launch strong opposition efforts going forward.

The residents are protesting, arguing that installing a depot less than 100 meters away from residential apartment complexes, including the Summit Ville complex, and educational facilities will damage residential and school environments and cause traffic congestion in the southern region.

Residents from 10 apartment complexes in Gwonseon 3 District, including Summit Ville, have been collecting signatures opposing the installation of the Gokbanjeong-dong bus public depot since the 3rd, and submitted signatures from 2,700 people to Suwon City on the 8th.

A resident who attended the plenary session said, "Despite city officials promising last November to construct a waterfront park around the depot site in exchange for installing a roundabout at the intersection in front of Summit Ville apartments, attempting to install the depot without gathering public consensus is an act of deceiving residents."

The resident emphasized, "It is obvious as day that residential areas in Gwonseon 3 District will become even more densely populated with the construction of the Gwonseon underground road and the development of Sindong district," and "the public bus depot must be relocated."

Meanwhile, residents of Gwonseon 3 District also displayed signs reading 'Oppose Public Bus Depot Construction' during the plenary session.
