As the Seoul-Yangpyeong Expressway project is in danger of being stranded due to suspicions of preferential treatment for the first lady Kim Kun-hee’s family, Yangpyeong-gun sent a document to the residents over the weekend stating that ‘the route with the changed end point is better in terms of economic feasibility than the original plan that passed the preliminary feasibility study (pre-feasibility study)’. distribution was confirmed. It is pointed out that Yangpyeong-gun is working on public opinion in line with the claims of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport) by distorting the existing route as if it is impossible to install an interchange ( IC ).
According to the <Hankyoreh> coverage on the 9th, Yangpyeong-gun held a town council meeting on the 7th and distributed a 9-page document titled ‘Report on the progress of the Seoul-Yangpyeong Expressway Route Decision’. The data contains details such as how Yangpyeong-gun proposed three highway-related routes to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in July last year and major issues.
Comparing the original plan and the modified plan that passed preliminary examination, Yangpyeong-gun argued that △unlike the original plan, the modified plan can install an interchange, △there is less environmental damage, and △there are no structural restrictions when connecting the terminal area, so it is excellent in constructability and economic feasibility. . On the surface메이저사이트, it looks like ‘explanatory material’, but there is a lot of room for reading with the purpose of ‘the change plan is better’. Such information was quickly disseminated among residents through text messages and KakaoTalk.
Yangpyeong-gun emphasized through data that it is possible to install an interchange in the change plan, but it is possible to install an interchange even if the end point is maintained as in the original plan. In fact, Yangpyeong-gun proposed three routes to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and submitted a method of adding a descending interchange to the existing route as one plan. Choi Jae-kwan, head of the Yangpyeong-gun regional committee of the Democratic Party of Korea, said, “Yangpyeong-gun intentionally distorts the facts and deliberately misleads the residents.”
The fact that the proposed change is economically contradicts Yangpyeong-gun’s existing position. Yangpyeong-gun proposed three routes in July of last year, classified the alternative that moved the end point to Gangsang-myeon as the second option, and added a reserved opinion, saying, “Reanalysis of economic feasibility, project cost increase expected.” Choi Seon-gyu, head of the Road Division in Yangpyeong-gun, who created the opinion at the time, explained in a phone call with the <Hankyoreh> that “plan 1 is more likely to secure economic feasibility, feasibility, and convenience than other alternatives, meaning that it is relatively superior.”
The come and go of Yangpyeong County Governor Jeon Jin-seon, who belongs to the power of the people, is also on the chopping block. After the controversy over preferential treatment, the former county mayor has been in agreement with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, saying, “For regional development, the change is better,” but the former county governor has never insisted on changing the end point during the last local election. The former county mayor said to the <Hankyoreh> that day, “I see policies changing. It is not correct to say why we came to Inje and changed what we have done for 15 years,” he said.
In fact, looking at the Yangpyeong-gun website, Yangseo-myeon is marked as the end point on the Yangpyeong-gun ‘commitment map’. In May of last year, as a candidate, Jeon met with Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Won Hee-ryong to explain the situation around Dumulmeori, where residents are suffering one after another due to chronic traffic congestion, and asked for help. This is a story more in line with the original plan with Yangseo-myeon as the end point. Nevertheless, Jeon County mayor took office as Yangpyeong County governor two months after this, and presented an alternative to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport to change the end point of the Yangpyeong Expressway within two weeks.
Rep. Kim Doo-gwan, a member of the Democratic Party’s Seoul-Yangpyeong Expressway Truth Investigation Task Force ( TF ), criticized, “Yangpyeong-gun also knows that the end point of the Seoul-Yangpyeong Expressway must face Yangseo-myeon.” did.
