Huang Wei-che Names Tainan Rail Undergrounding and Metro as Priorities Before Leaving Office

As his term nears its end, Tainan Mayor Huang Wei-che said the projects he most wants to see carried forward are the city’s railway undergrounding and metro development.

Speaking during questioning at the city council, Huang said he hoped the second phase of the Tainan railway undergrounding project would proceed smoothly. He also urged close monitoring of the Tainan Metro schedule, saying it must not “derail,” and expressed hope that major construction projects would continue without interruption.

Councillor Lee Tsung-lin used the session to outline four regrets from his current term. He said the proposed renaming of Zhongzheng Road and issues related to transitional justice remained unfinished. In education and culture, he wants to keep pursuing a Taiwanese-language experimental primary school and a Taiwanese-language cultural park.

Lee also highlighted plans to convert the Houjia traffic circle into a crossroads and continuing problems at the Asia-Pacific International Baseball Stadium. He said the stadium’s facilities, equipment and management still fell short, requiring further monitoring and improvement.

Lee described these unfinished projects as matters he did not want to abandon. He called for continued public support so he could seek re-election and complete the remaining work.
