On the 14th, Mayor Lee held a meeting with about 30 residents at Gwanggyo Ssangyong Foreduen Apartment in Sanghyeon-dong, listening to their complaints related to the planned construction of urban-type housing nearby. Officials from the city’s Housing Bureau and Suji District also attended the meeting.

This visit was arranged to fulfill the promise he made during the election, when he told residents, "If elected, I will return with the relevant department." Residents present at the meeting expressed their gratitude, saying, "Thank you for keeping the promise you made during the election."

In his opening remarks, Mayor Lee stated, "I am well aware of the concerns of residents and citizens," adding, "Since department executives and staff are here together, we will listen carefully to your opinions and examine the issues from various perspectives for a careful review."

On this day, residents raised concentrated concerns that once the urban-type housing is built, the traffic situation would worsen. Given the current frequent congestion around the Sanghyeon Intersection during commuting hours, they stressed that it would be difficult to handle additional vehicles.

One resident said, "The area is a four-way intersection with heavy regular traffic, and it is also the main route for students of Solgae Elementary and Seowon Elementary, Middle, and High Schools," adding, "If vehicles from the new building are added, the risk of traffic accidents could increase."

Another resident expressed concerns, saying, "The intersection leading to the apartment from the Sanghyeon Intersection becomes extremely congested during rush hours. If the main entrance of the new building connects to this spot, the bottleneck in the area will become even worse during commuting times."

Residents not only raised traffic concerns but also discussed issues related to privacy violation and safety. Because the distance between the apartment and the planned construction site is narrow, the living spaces of residents could be directly exposed, and there is also a possibility that cracks or instability could occur in the retaining walls during the construction process.

In response, an official from Yongin City stated, "We will ensure that the opinions of the residents can be thoroughly reviewed by the Building Deliberation Committee."

Mayor Lee instructed public officials on site to conduct a more detailed review.

He told city officials, "Record videos to document how severe the traffic congestion is during the morning commute, and run simulations to assess how much worse it would get if an urban-type housing complex is established nearby. Also, check the proximity between this apartment and the urban-type housing for which construction permits have been requested, and use 3D modeling to three-dimensionally assess how the quality of life and privacy of apartment residents might be affected when the new housing is built and occupied. Examine the issues from multiple perspectives."
