Hanam Mayor Lee Hyun-jae: "We Will Improve Living Conditions for Gamil New City Residents"

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Um In-yong] Hanam Mayor Lee Hyun-jae announced on the 20th at a 'Dialogue with Residents' held at the Gamil-dong Administrative Welfare Center that "we will improve living conditions for Gamil New City residents through bus route reorganization linked to the opening of the Bangadari Road connector and expansion of living SOC."

The Bangadari Road connector is a section linking Gamil-dong in Hanam City with Bangi-dong in Songpa-gu, Seoul, and is scheduled for final completion in June 2026.

Mayor Lee explained, "In line with the road opening, we will intensively reorganize bus routes toward Olympic Park to enhance residents' transportation convenience."

Additionally, the pedestrian overpass expansion project in front of Shinwoo Elementary School is planned to be completed in April in consideration of student safety, and the Beolmal Stream pedestrian overpass connecting the commercial area in Complex 8 from Complex 10 will hold a resident briefing session in January with a target completion and opening in June.

In particular, construction on the museum to display artifacts excavated from the Gamil district will begin this month, with a total project budget of 15.2 billion won and scheduled completion in the second half of 2027.

However, regarding the Gamil Comprehensive Welfare Town, the mayor conveyed that while implementation has been somewhat delayed due to the city's financial circumstances, administrative efforts will be focused on its swift establishment.

Regarding the most pressing issue of the Dongsеoul Substation problem, Mayor Lee stated, "Currently, the building permit has been received, but we have requested supplementary permit processing with three conditions: 'specification of workspace for 120 personnel,' 'presentation of clear resident support projects,' and 'sufficient opinion gathering from residents.' Given that the Minister of Climate, Energy and Environment recently took direct action, we are closely monitoring the results for smooth resolution," he emphasized.
