Taipei, Oct. 3 (CNA) Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Legislator Pasuya Yao (姚
文智) expressed Tuesday his aim of getting rid of Taipei’s Songshan Airport and transforming the site into “Taipei’s Central Park” should he be elected as city mayor.
Yao, who is seeking the DPP’s nomination in next year’s Taipei mayoral election, said the plan will serve as the main thrust for his mayoral bid.
A contest organized by Yao was announced that day during a press conference held at the National Taiwan University Alumni Club hall, where members of the public are invited to come up with ideas of what such a park should look like.
The person judged to have submitted the best design plan will be eligible for a cash prize of NT$100,000 (US$3,285). [FULL STORY]
