The Pohang City Council has been addressing various regional infrastructure and administrative issues. During an administrative audit, officials focused on severe traffic congestion on Yeongilman-daero caused by expressway connections and new residential developments. Proposed solutions include the construction of the Jamyeong Interchange to connect National Route 28 with Yeongilman-daero, the installation of real-time traffic information displays, and the long-term consideration of ground-based trams.

In subsequent sessions, the council reviewed the Yeongilman Cross-Sea Bridge project, which has experienced an 18-year delay. Mayor Park Yong-sun stated that the city is contesting a Korea Development Institute review that labeled an inland detour route as an “optimal alternative,” arguing it fails to meet the project’s objectives. Other council discussions involved support for the Guryongpo memorial park, the status of a planned Costco location, environmental concerns near the Pohang National Industrial Complex, and investigations into alleged data leaks during information requests.
