No action on Taichung airport project, councilor saysBy Su Meng-chuan, Chang Hsuan-che and Jake Chung / Staff reporters, with staff writerThe Taichung City Government should be admonished for its inaction over the Taichung International Airport Gateway Project, Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Taichung City Councilor Yang Tien-chung (楊典忠) said on Friday during a review of the project. International flight routes serving Taichung have increased to 26 and there has been a steady rise in travelers using the airport, Yang said. Democratic Progressive Party Taichung City Councilor Yang Tien-chung holds documents at the Taichung City Council on Friday. Some Taichung councilors have complained that public transportation serving the city’s central Fengyuan District (豐原) is severely lacking, he said. DPP Taichung Councilor Wang Li-jen (王立任) said that the lack of progress on the project, despite the growth in travel to Taichung, highlights the city government’s failure to keep up with demand.
