With things back to normal now, the common hope of Mayor Lin Po-jung and his fellow citizens is to build on transportation as a foundation and make Taichung "a versatile city of high-tech industries and recreational agriculture offering culture, education and shopping in a pollution free environment."
回歸正常後，以交通建設為基礎，將台中市建成「一個結合文教、消費、無汙染的高科技工業和休閒農業的多元性都市」，則是林柏榕市長和市民們的期望。
