Kim Jung-gwon: "Yeongdeungpo to Emerge as Gyeonggi Province's Premier City"

Kim Jung-gwon, a Hannara Party preliminary candidate for the Gyeonggi Provincial Assembly representing Suwon City District 8 (Yeongdeungpo 1, 2 Dong, and Taejang Dong), emphasized that Yeongdeungpo should emerge as Gyeonggi Province's representative new city and a premium district that will shoulder the role of South Korea's new growth engine along with population increases.

To create "Yeongdeungpo, Happy District No. 1" across all aspects including economy, culture, environment, and transportation, he proposed ▲expansion of convenient transportation networks ▲expansion of rest and leisure spaces ▲job seeker and employer support ▲creation of safe schools ▲construction of cultural and artistic infrastructure.

First, for expanding transportation networks, he pledged to concentrate efforts on the ongoing Bundang Line extension project (Suwon-Ori) and secure budgets to ensure its early opening by 2013 at the latest.

Additionally, he put forward commitments to increase the number of regional buses on the currently operating Yangjae Station route and the Suwon Terminal-Yeongdeungpo-Euljiro line, and to establish new routes connecting Yeongdeungpo to Seoul Station or Gwanghwamun.

For expanding rest and leisure spaces, he pledged to promptly complete the second phase of Yeongheung Park development while strictly limiting development to prevent uncontrolled development of Cheongmyeong Mountain.

He also expressed resolve to create effective job opportunities and secure workforce by establishing an "Yeongdeungpo workforce pool" under the district office's management and securing necessary staff and budget to support job seekers and employers.

To create an environment where children can attend school safely, he pledged to establish a consultative body with relevant organizations and parents to eliminate violence in school neighborhoods.

Additionally, for building cultural and artistic infrastructure, he announced plans to provide a venue in Yeongheung Park where Yeongdeungpo residents can satisfy their cultural and artistic needs.

Beyond this, he emphasized that he would promote development of surrounding spaces to resolve the chronic parking shortage around Yeongdeungpo Library, and ensure sufficient underground parking space is secured when constructing new public buildings.

Preliminary candidate Kim Jung-gwon stressed his campaign declaration, saying, "I will humbly accept the opinions of local residents for the development of Yeongdeungpo and make all efforts toward realizing 'Yeongdeungpo, Happy District No. 1.'"
