Q&A summary
| Contents of question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The road pavement is becoming more and more shaky every time construction is done. Also, the designs are different, some are tiled, some are concrete, and I don't like the way they look, so I would like to see them cleaned up. Sidewalks in particular are difficult to use for wheelchairs and strollers. After construction, I would like the city to make sure that the pavement has been resurfaced properly. There are some areas where the Waterworks Bureau is currently carrying out construction, so please check. |
The road needs to be dug up during construction, and it is an opinion on the finish of returning to the status quo. The Nagamine district was developed during the bubble period, and the pavement was finished using European-style tiles and high-grade materials such as small paving stones. The pavement tiles and small paving stones are not flat, and at that time, it seems that the appearance was more important than considering the use of strollers and wheelchairs. In order to aim for a sustainable city in the future, it is desirable to prioritize convenience and safety and use practical materials instead of spending a lot of money on appearance. When road construction is carried out in the city, safe, practical and durable materials are used for restoration, and the policy is to proceed gradually in the future. However, it is not possible to fix all the roads in the city at once, so I would like to work on it gradually. In addition, about construction point, we want to confirm site in department in charge. [Supplement] Based on the road occupation permission application procedure, the Management Division and the city conduct an on-site inspection at the time of road construction to confirm whether the current situation has been restored. ・(As of December) On the city roads in the Nagamine district, work to replace the water pipes ordered by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Bureau of Waterworks was carried out on the roadways and sidewalks. |
| The uprooting of the sidewalk near Laurel Hills is terrible. I want the pavement to be repaired like the rows of cherry blossom trees along the Misawa River. | The root problem is a problem that is difficult to solve fundamentally. The problem cannot be solved simply by repairing the pavement; the real solution would be to cut down the trees or carry out heavy pruning, but there is strong opposition from the local community and it is difficult to deal with this problem. There are trees that are suitable as street trees and trees that are not, and those that grow into large trees are not suitable as street trees. In addition, the asphalt lined with cherry blossom trees in front of City Hall was removed and re-paved with a thin layer. |
| Inexpensive materials have been used year by year for the finishing of road pavement. It looks dirty and cheap. I would like the city to make a repair plan and show it to the residents. | Rather than materials that are expensive and look good but are difficult to use, we believe that materials that are cheap, safe and practical are desirable. However, it is not possible to fix all the roads in the city all at once, so I would like to work on it one by one. |
| Lighting (street lamps) like gas lamps is on the site of Asuka Founding. It seems to turn on sometimes, but if you can turn it on, I want you to turn it on. | This is an opinion about streetlights. The Nagamine area is based on the concept of "a town where you can see the stars," and many of the streetlights are of the low type that illuminate your feet. However, with the changing times, there have been requests to install bright street lights for crime prevention as it is dark. Twenty years have passed since the opening of the town, and the infrastructure in the Nagamine district is gradually aging, and there is a need to update these facilities, including street lights. We would like to hear the opinions of local residents and proceed with future consideration. |
| The city was divided due to the revision of the constituency of the House of Representatives. Inagi City seems to be associated with the number of countries. We would like you to continue to work with neighboring cities to voice your opposition. | The situation came as a surprise to the city. Together with the mayor of Tama, we took action to request that the government stop dividing the city, but as a result, the request was not heard. Behind the zoning revision is the trend of reforming the electoral system due to the so-called disparity in votes. This is the first temporary reform, and the next drastic reform is scheduled based on the population of the 2020 census. We will continue to keep a close eye on trends. |
| There were times when several dump trucks were parked on the Kamiyato Ohashi Bridge, and even if we asked the police to crack down on them, they would disappear only then, but it was a cat-and-mouse game. I want you to do something because it is a bus street and there is a problem with passing vehicles. | Since it is a violation, we would like you to continue to contact the police, but we will inform the department in charge of the city. [Supplement] We made a request to the Tama Central Police Station, Management Division. |
| The night game lighting at Nihon University Ground is dazzling. I'm worried that this will have a negative impact on the ecology of kestrels near Kamiyato. |
I will convey my opinion to the Nihon University Athletic Association and try to consult if it can be improved. [Supplement] I conveyed my opinion to the Planning and Policy Division, Nihon University. |
| I would like to ask about the administrative system in the event of a major disaster. How many city residents live in the city and how many of them are in the city? | Inagi City has its own fire station and municipal hospital, and all of them, including city hall employees, are city employees, totaling about 900 people. Of these, about 50% of general clerical workers live in the city. Please rest assured about the staff system in the event of a disaster, including the mobility of independent firefighting. In addition, as an attempt to increase the number of employees living in the city, we are asking those who live outside the city to live in the city at the time of hiring. In the initial response to the disaster, city officials are planning to respond as much as possible, but we would like to ask for the cooperation of local disaster prevention organizations, etc. |
| The night-game lighting at Nagamine Sports Square is dazzling. I live in a neighboring apartment, but the room on the north side receives light. Is it possible to make adjustments such as changing the direction of the lighting? | The night-time lighting never shines directly on the condominium and is only used until 9:00 pm. |
| I would like to ask for budgetary measures for the use of resident assembly facilities in the Nagamine district. | Internal examination is underway. |
| In the Nagamine district, most of the electric wires are underground, but some remain. Will I have to bear the cost of undergrounding electric wires? | There are various methods for undergrounding utility poles, but I have heard that, in principle, you will have to pay for it yourself, and it will cost a lot. In new town development, the developer often includes it in the project, but because it costs a lot of money, for example, in Minamiyama, where land readjustment is currently being carried out, utility poles have been removed along the city planning road. However, there are utility poles in the subdivision developed by the private sector. |
| How about planting many cherry trees on the slopes of Verdi Field to make it a natural park like Nagamine? | I can understand how you feel. I also wanted to plant a tree, but there was a history that was not approved. The land at Verdifield was originally a landfill site, and a previous environmental survey found toxic substances such as dioxins underground. As a result of an expert's analysis, it was confirmed that there would be no impact on using only the ground surface, and according to the current owner's UR, the city is developing and using it as a sports plaza under the condition that only the ground surface is used. . Due to such circumstances, unfortunately, it is not possible to plant new trees that take root underground. |
| There is a wooden deck near the stairs in front of Nagamine Elementary School, which used to be a place of recreation and relaxation. I want you to fix it. | It may be difficult to restore it, but I would like to consider how to deal with it. [Supplement] The management section wooden deck will be removed in the future and a fall prevention fence will be installed. |
| Temporary parking space on Koyodai Koen-dori is too strict. The other day, I got a ticket for not parking in 10 minutes. It's a pity that I lived in Inagi because I liked the townscape of Newtown. In addition, as we enter an aging society, we believe that needs will increase, such as when picking up and dropping off elderly people from hospitals. |
As a city, we are very sorry about the matter you pointed out. Initially, there was a concept of using it as a temporary parking space, but the police have a very strict policy of not allowing parking at all. We have repeatedly asked the police to allow us to temporarily stop as long as it does not cause trouble to others, but they have not listened to us. I would like to continue to persistently make requests and appeals to the police. |
| If you do not contact the government office about mowing the grass on the city road, they will not respond. I want you to manage it properly. Fall leaves are terrible in autumn and winter, so if you plant a tree, I want you to manage the fallen leaves. | Report it to the department in charge. |
