Q&A overview
| Contents of question | Answer |
|---|---|
| [Progress of the Momomura District and Tsurukawa Highway] What is the city's thinking? We want it to be completed as soon as possible. Also, Route 10 and Route 537 are narrow, so we want them to make it easier for cars to get in and out. |
Regarding the relationship between this road, we held two briefing sessions to receive opinions. In the Hyakumura district, even though there was talk of rezoning, landowners could not agree on it, and there was strong opposition, so the plan had to be abolished. Instead, improvements based on district planning and the widening of Tsurukawa Kaido will be made the core of the surrounding development. However, unlike land readjustment, the focus is on road widening, and the topography cannot be changed. The road is a metropolitan road, and in principle, the Tokyo metropolitan government widens the road, and once it is completed, the widening of the metropolitan road is over, and the city would be in trouble if that were to happen. The area has a large difference in elevation, so if Tsurukawa Kaido were simply widened, the difference in elevation between the land and the surrounding area would not be resolved, and the road would not be able to fit in. We have asked the metropolitan government to widen the roads, but we have repeatedly asked them to not only widen the roads, but also work with the city to improve the surrounding area. Furthermore, it is not clear when the Tsurukawa Highway will be constructed. The Tokyo metropolitan government has included it in its plans and is gradually developing it, but unfortunately it was not included in the city's third plan. We are appealing to the Tokyo metropolitan government to include it in the fourth plan, and we are also making a direct request to the Tokyo metropolitan government. Additionally, the city has already started allocating money for surveying in last year's supplementary budget. We are working hard to have it included in the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's Fourth Plan. I understand how you all feel. Although we cannot promise a timetable, the city hopes to begin work as soon as possible. Regarding concrete routes such as Route 10 and Route 537, we would like to proceed with the development of the surrounding area while discussing with the surrounding residents. I understand the general idea of wide roads with no elevation differences, but I would like to discuss the specifics in the future. In addition, we would like to publish ``Hyakumura Town Development News'' in the future to share information. In addition, a land survey will be carried out soon. |
| [About Inagi/Fuchu Memorial Park] I would like to hear about your progress. |
Inside the Inagi-Fuchu Memorial Park, there is a cemetery, graveyard, and Nanzan Hall, a funeral hall. It was established jointly with Fuchu City on approximately 25,510 square meters of land between Nanzan Elementary School and Yomiuri Golf Club. Western-style ``lawn cemeteries'' with tombstones, traditional Japanese-style ``ordinary cemeteries'', ``joint funeral cemeteries'' where ashes are interred in a charnel platform inside a building, and ``tree-style cemeteries'' where ashes are interred under a forest of trees. We have developed these four formats. Nanzan Hall has two ceremony halls, one large and one small, and can host everything from small family funerals to funerals with many mourners, and is equipped with altars and equipment necessary for funerals. It also has a Western-style room used for ablutions and memorial services, waiting rooms for bereaved families and ceremonial celebrants, a mortuary, changing rooms, a rest area, and a shop. If you have any requests for a tour, please contact the department in charge. Since the grave is located in a part of the park, you can come and go as you please, including stopping by on your walk. |
| [Regarding environmental issues] There is a lot of concrete debris lying around, I would like you to think about how to collect it. |
I would like to hear your opinion. |
| [About urban infrastructure development] Is the road to Memorial Park the only road that passes in front of Inagi Station? |
This will change with the land readjustment of Minamiyama, but for the time being there is only a road via Inagi Station. Eventually this road will connect to Oka-no-yu. It will also connect to the road coming down from Inagi Interchange. The road from Inagi Interchange goes south, crosses the Keio Sagamihara Line, turns left and goes up in a loop. Although there are no concerns about daily traffic congestion, it is expected that many cars will come during periods such as the equinox. Currently, a free round-trip shuttle bus is planned to run from Inagi Station, Minami Tama Station, and Inagi Naganuma Station during those periods. |
| [About the renovation work of Daiichi Junior High School] The expected completion date is the end of September, and I hope to use it for local sports days. |
All work on the large-scale renovation of the school building at Inagi Daiichi Junior High School is scheduled to be completed by the end of May 2016. Therefore, from June 2016 onwards, schoolyards are expected to be open to the public as usual. |
| [About traffic light installation] Regarding the traffic light in front of the city hospital, it is fine to enter the hospital, but it is difficult to see the traffic light when exiting. I want it to be easy to get in and out. |
Every year, the city makes strong requests to the Tama Chuo Police Station to install traffic lights, but they have been told that they cannot install traffic lights at this location because the traffic lights are in close proximity and it is an off-street facility. I'm thinking of doing something about it. |
| [About road management] There are several places where the mirrors at crossroads are hidden behind tree branches and are difficult to see. I would like the trees to be pruned to ensure safety. |
The city manages the road facilities. Staff regularly patrol and work on repairs. If you let us know what you notice, we will respond immediately. Previously, we were told that it was difficult to tell them over the phone, so we have numbers attached to curved mirrors, poles, etc., so we would appreciate it if you could tell us the numbers. |
| [About road management] Sometimes the mirror cannot be seen due to frost. Is there a mirror that doesn't fog up? |
It seems that some of the latest mirrors are specially processed to prevent them from fogging up. I would like to continue researching this in the future. |
| [About road management] There are cars parked on the road in front of the Wakabadai police box and it's dangerous. Is there something I can do? |
When shopping, please park in the parking lot, although there is a fee. The cars parked there are mainly shuttle cars. Stopping is not prohibited, so it is not illegal to sit in the driver's seat and wait. Traffic control falls under the jurisdiction of the police, but currently the rotary is prohibited from entering. Personally, I think it would be fine to just let them pass, but the police are having a hard time allowing that. There are many cars that make U-turns at traffic lights, so I'm asking them to let me change directions through the rotary, but they won't let me do that. |
| [About urban infrastructure development] There seems to be talk of widening the ridge trunk line or turning it into an underground passage, but what will happen to the parking lot if the civic festival is held at the general gymnasium? |
The current answer is that there is no solution, but if the main road of the ridgeline is constructed, it is assumed that the parking lot at Nakasu will disappear. Inagi is a small city, but the city has hills that make it difficult to get around by bicycle, so traveling by car is part of Inagi's culture. The centralization of the city festival was partly due to the availability of a large parking lot, so if the parking lot were to become unusable, whether a festival of the same scale could be held would be a headache. I have to consider various options. I can't say this lightly, but if we're going to hold a festival of the same scale in the same location, we have no choice but to either encourage people to come by foot, bicycle, public transportation, etc., or increase the frequency of shuttle buses. . We also think that holding events in a distributed manner is an option. Since it has become a big event held at the same time, I hope it can be continued without causing any damage. Concrete measures would include increasing the number of shuttle buses and having route buses run special services. |
| [About parking lot maintenance] When we go to local festivals, school grounds and parks are opened up and used as parking lots, but I think Inagi also needs to think about things like that. |
If you go to any facility in Tokyo's 23 wards, you won't find any gymnasiums with parking lots. In the city, for example, Koyodai Elementary School has sprinklers in the schoolyard, and if a car were to drive into them, they would break, so the school would not allow them. |
