Q&A summary
| Contents of question | Answer |
|---|---|
| [About road surface repair] Nearly 30 years have passed since the new town, which was also selected for the Cityscape Grand Prize, for repairing roads and bridges in the Koyodai district. Recently, however, there are conspicuous places where damaged or missing tiles and pincolo stones are easily repaired with cement or asphalt. As long as it is not a high-cost material, it should be repaired using raw materials, and efforts should be made to maintain the landscape and property value. I would like Inagi City to establish a permanent policy in this direction. |
Although financial resources are limited, we have decided on priorities and are carrying out repairs. The Koyodai district had a high-grade town built using small paving stones and tiles. Although the scenery is nice, it is expensive to repair, and there are cases where canes and strollers can easily get caught, so we plan to reconsider it in future town planning. Regarding repairs, we are trying to keep costs as low as possible, such as by using rubber chip pavement. Although it is not possible to change the entire surface of the pavement, the city will repair areas where it has identified areas that need repair. We would also like to hear from you. |
| [Regarding lawn management] Regarding the improvement of lawn management and weed treatment work at the Central Park Baseball Stadium, clover is spreading on the outfield lawn, so I would like you to take necessary measures. |
Weeding work is carried out twice a year, in May and October this year. It is said that clovers are growing widely on the lawn part of the outfield seats, but it is thought that the cause was that this year's weather conditions were suitable for growing clovers. In response to the feedback, we cut the trees shorter than usual and sprayed a clover inhibitor (which has no effect on the human body) in November. It takes about 2 weeks for it to take effect. |
| [About station parking spaces] I want you to secure a parking space for pick-up on the Kawasaki Kaido side of Inagi Naganuma Station |
A station plaza/rotary will be built on the south side of Higashi-Naganuma Station, and a slightly smaller rotary will be built on the north side. Although discussions are still underway, the south side is planned to be a roundabout exclusively for buses and taxis. The north side is planned to be used for general vehicles. However, although you can stop, parking is prohibited. |
| [About station parking spaces] I want you to secure a parking space for pick-up and drop-off around Minamitama Station |
Regarding Minami-Tama Station, there are plans to create lanes for buses and i-buses at the rotary on the north side, as well as lanes for general vehicles, so that they can stop there. Completion is scheduled for February 2017. There are no plans to build a roundabout on the south side because it is narrow. |
| [About the living environment] To improve the living environment, I would like the Misawa River and Daimaru Shinsui Park to be cleaned regularly. |
The roads at Daimaru Shinsui Park are maintained regularly by the Inagi Green Wellness Foundation and the Daimaru Neighborhood Association. The interior of the irrigation canal is maintained and managed based on patrols by the Inagi Green Wellness Foundation, Daimaru Neighborhood Association, city staff, and information from citizens. The Misawa River sidewalks are also maintained and managed based on staff patrols and information from citizens. The inside of the river is basically managed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. In addition, with the cooperation of citizens, we are cleaning up the Misawa River. |
| [About the living environment] What is the scope of the Misawa River cleanup, and how many people have gathered this year? |
Misawa River cleanup is carried out from the Sakahama district (near Komazawa Gakuen) to Yanoguchi (near Tenjinbashi). Unfortunately, this year's event was canceled due to rain, but it was held on a different schedule with the cooperation of city officials and the Higashi Naganuma Neighborhood Association. |
| [About the living environment] How often do you cut weeds along the banks of the Misawa River? I feel sick because the garbage is thrown away. |
The riverbank is mowed once a year. The test is carried out every year after the grass dies. |
| [Regarding maintenance of parks, etc.] I want you to make more water parks, etc. |
Regarding the existing water park, we requested the Tokyo Metropolitan Government to improve it during the river improvement. The current bank protection work has stopped in the Momomura area, and we would like to ask the Tokyo Metropolitan Government to repair the areas of Wakabadai and Sakahama that have not yet been repaired. |
| [Regarding maintenance of parks, etc.] Is it possible to create a water place where children can play in Koyodai? |
Since there is no spring water at Koyodai, it is difficult to build a water play area. However, there is Daimaru Shinsui Park, and we are planning to build a playground using spring water in Kamihirao in the future, so please use that. |
| [Regarding subsidies for housing complex equipment renewal] I would like you to establish a city-specific subsidy system for updating equipment in housing complexes in the city. |
Not only housing complexes but also detached houses are private property of individuals, so the city cannot provide any kind of assistance for updating their facilities. Please understand this point. Although the viewpoints are different, the city is currently implementing a subsidy project that subsidizes a portion of the installation costs for energy generating equipment such as solar power generation installed in houses. I also go to apartments. Additionally, efforts are being made to subsidize a portion of the costs associated with making homes barrier-free for those who have received nursing care certification. |
| [About free Wi-Fi] I would like free Wi-Fi to be provided in public facilities in the city. |
The provision of free Wi-Fi is one of my campaign pledges, and I plan to install it at public facilities and stations in the city. We plan to request it in the next fiscal year's budget and proceed as needed. |
| [About disaster prevention administrative radio] It is difficult to hear the administrative disaster prevention radio. Another publicity car comes around, but it moves so fast that I can't hear it. Can we improve? |
Disaster prevention administrative radio has been around for a long time, and it is from the time when houses were not densely built. It may have been audible at the time, but now that apartments have been built and many houses have been built, the sound echoes and it is difficult to hear well. If there is a request, we change the orientation of the disaster prevention administrative radio and make detailed adjustments. However, the most common complaint recently is that the broadcast is too loud. Therefore, as an alternative measure, we are providing telephone services. In addition, the content of the broadcast is also sent via the mail delivery service, so please use it. We are using these multiple means to keep everyone informed. |
| [About parking space] There is a cut in the roadway along Koyodai Park Street, but parking is not possible. Is it possible to take some measures such as allowing only those who are doing business to park? |
When the town of Koyodai was developed, I think that the UR Urban Renaissance Agency and the city wanted to make it a parking space, but the police did not approve it from the beginning. Currently, it is designated as a parking prohibition enforcement area by the Tama Central Police Station. We would like to hold persistent discussions with the police to see if we can take measures such as allowing vehicles to stop for a limited time. |
| [About tree management] Many trees are planted on the slopes around 5, and there are many ivy. We had education general affairs section cope once, but have come out to sidewalk. It is dangerous for crime prevention, so I want you to cut it. |
I want to be considerate. |
| [About i-bus] Due to the timetable revision of the i-Bus, it has become difficult to use, the number of users has decreased, and the revenue may have decreased. Don't you reflect on the review of the first term? |
In the first review, we asked citizen representatives to participate in the review and proceeded with the review step by step while analyzing the problems so far. The i-bus is not intended for commuting to work or school, but is intended to complement route buses, and should not compete with private business operators. . It should be noted that the operating costs of iBus are not based solely on usage fees received from users, and there is no plan to equate the number of passengers. Regarding the second review, we will upgrade it to a statutory council, and we will have representatives from each region (in character units), elderly people, people with disabilities, private bus companies, the Land Transport Bureau, etc. We would like to proceed with the review of the second term by summarizing everyone's opinions based on the reflection points of the review of the first term. |
| [About aging] I heard that there are statistics that Koyodai will become an aging town in the future. What kind of countermeasures are being taken in the Hirao district, where the population is aging the most in the city? Koyodai would also like to take measures based on measures taken in other regions. |
I think that it will be necessary to increase public services, such as increasing home nursing care, and make round visits. In Hirao, residents' associations and voluntary disaster prevention organizations are making patrols, and they are working on measures such as the "yellow handkerchief strategy" so that people can know the safety of people without having to go door-to-door in the event of a disaster. I think it would be good if we could decide what we can do through discussions, such as what we can do with self-help and mutual help, and what the city can do with public help. Koyodai has a finely divided residents' association, and I think that the fact that it was established as a federation will become a strength of the town. We would like to think about it together. |
