Lee Shu-chuan
Lee Shu-chuan is the Deputy Mayor of Taipei, known for his role in urban planning and transportation policies. He recently came under scrutiny for his comments regarding the proposed demolition of the underpass at the Gongguan Traffic Circle, where he claimed that the changes would have minimal impact on bus delays. His statements have sparked criticism from activists and local groups who argue that the city's plans lack scientific backing and that alternatives to the demolition were not adequately considered.
