[Article Content] A policy discussion was held on Gwangmyeong City's railway infrastructure expansion plan. Gwangmyeong Mayor Park Seung-won stated, "Railroads are directly linked to citizens' convenience in transportation and the city's competitiveness." He emphasized, "We will focus on incorporating key routes, including the Sincheon Riverbank Sillim Line, into the 5th National Railway Network Construction Plan." [Park Seung-won / Mayor of Gwangmyeong City] "Gwangmyeong City's top priority is the completion of its railway network, including the Sincheon-Haean-Sillim Line, which is currently its core. We will successfully pursue this project and ensure its inclusion in the 5th Railway Network Plan..." Yoo Jeong-hoon, President of the Korean Society of Transportation, who moderated the discussion, commented, "Gwangmyeong City will serve as a transportation hub in the southwestern Seoul metropolitan area." [Yoo Jeong-hoon / President of the Korean Society of Transportation] "Compared to Bundang, there's the Bundang Line. It's the same with the Shinbundang Line. Here, too, the Shin Ansan Line is being built. The Wolgot-Pangyo Line, connecting Bundang Pangyo and Gwangmyeong on the Gyeongbu Line, has been in the national planning stage for a long time, with a grand vision in mind..." Suggestions were also made to accelerate the construction of the Sincheon-Haean-Sillim Line, which connects Siheung Sincheon Station on the West Sea Line, via Gwangmyeong Haan-dong, and Seoul's Sillim Line. To expedite the project, it was pointed out that cooperation with neighboring local governments and private investment should be pursued in parallel. [Professor Cho Sang-ho, Hongik University] "If the private sector eligibility test is successfully passed and the project is being promoted as a private sector project, it's a truly opportune time. It runs through the center of Gwangmyeong City, especially since it connects to Line 2 and the Sillim Line, so there are numerous transfer stations along the way. Therefore, I believe this is the most needed route in Gwangmyeong City right now." Gwangmyeong City plans to strengthen cooperation with the central government to ensure that its major railway lines are included in the 5th National Railway Network Plan.
