Q&A summary
| Contents of question | Answer |

| It has been reported that the course may pass through the local area as a bicycle road race course for the Olympics, and expectations are high. As a city, we would like to have citizens involved in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games, and to cooperate with them. |
Since Tokyo was selected to host the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, various issues have been exposed, and no future outlook has been provided, making us nostalgic for the enthusiasm that existed when the bid was made. At the bidding stage, there was a plan for the bicycle road race course to pass through the Tama area, including Inagi City, and the city, together with neighboring mayors, was working with the Tokyo metropolitan government and the organizing committee to carry out "course bidding activities" to make this plan a reality. I have made a request. As a result of these efforts, according to a recent newspaper report, consideration is progressing on a plan to include part of the city as part of the competition course, and the city has very high hopes for it. The official decision is expected to be made around August 2019. As for the city's future involvement in the Olympics, it is not clear at this point, as the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has not announced what each local government will do and when. We are also considering dispatching staff to the Olympic Organizing Committee. There are several types of volunteer activities that citizens participate in. In addition to those who directly support tournament operations, there are also those who provide indirect support, such as providing hospitality to foreign tourists. If the bicycle road race course passes through the city as reported, the cooperation of many volunteers will be needed to organize the spectators along the road. Inagi City has wide, undulating roads, including the Ridge Main Road, and is popular among bicycle enthusiasts, earning it the nickname ``the mecca for road bikes.'' When the Olympic course runs through Inagi City, as a legacy of the Olympics for the future, we will establish a cycle cafe (tentative name) in the city and realize the idea that many people will visit the city as a bicycle town. We would like to consider this. |
| When promoting the cycle cafe concept, etc., I would like to involve various citizens with specialized knowledge about road bicycles, etc., and use them as an information source. | Until now, the city has received the cooperation of sports organizations with specialized knowledge in activities to invite courses to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the Organizing Committee. We have received various opinions and cooperation, such as creating a recommended course layout, and have been working on it. In addition, although it is a little different from the Olympics, we have received specific proposals from citizens for holding cycling-related events, and we have just started considering their realization. I would like to actively incorporate the opinions of various people and proceed with the examination so that Inagi City will be loved and visited by many people as a sacred place for bicycles. |
| The area around Wakabadai suffers from chronic traffic jams, which is a problem. How does the city expect the flow of traffic to change when the road (Ta 3, 4, 17) opens in the direction of Shin-Yurigaoka and Kamhirao? Also, the traffic in front of Wakabadai Co-op is quite crowded in the direction of Kurokawa, and I would like it to be resolved. |
Routes 3, 4, and 17 are urban planning roads connecting Shin-Yurigaoka and Wakabadai. When the entire road is opened, it is expected that the inflow from the Kanagawa side will increase, while the outflow from Wakabadai to Shin-Yurigaoka is also expected, making it difficult to predict the flow of vehicles on individual roads. In addition, as another city planning road, we are also proceeding with the development of Routes 3, 4, and 36 that run from the Kamhirao fire department to Kurihira. The long-standing problem of serious chronic traffic congestion on Hirao Chuo-dori is expected to be resolved to a certain extent once this road is opened. In the future, there are plans to extend the road towards the Odakyu Tama Line where Kurihira Station is located, making it easier to use Kurihira Station instead of Shin-Yurigaoka Station. Looking at the traffic area in a wider area, we believe that the opening of new roads will disperse the concentration of vehicles, and the problem of traffic congestion will go in the direction of resolving it. In addition, in the Wakabadai area, you can see cars making U-turns here and there, causing traffic jams and accidents. From the viewpoint of traffic flow, we believe that the time has come to consider reviewing how road regulations should be in the future. |
| I heard that there is a plan to extend the Ta-3, 4, and 36 lines from the south side of Kurihira Station to Setagaya Dori through Kawasaki City and Machida City. | Since it is a city planning road on the Kawasaki City side and I do not have any materials at hand at the moment, I will answer from the City Planning Division at a later date. [Supplement] Check with Kawasaki City, City Planning Division. It was an answer that "the road in question has been decided as a city plan, but it has not been implemented, and the implementation time is undecided." |
| Regarding the main road maintenance of the ridge highway, it is planned that the grade crossing part of Tama Higashi Park will be a tunnel. I think that a commercial facility will be built on the tunnel if you shift it a little. | Originally, there was a plan to construct the main road of the ridge highway with a ditch structure. I think that the proposed idea is not impossible if it is extended. I want to take it home and study it. |
| There was a conflict of opinion between the local residents and the company regarding the utilization of the site of the former Nakayoshi school building of Wakabadai Elementary School. I would like to ask for the continued support of the administration from the standpoint of the residents. | In the event of a conflict of opinion, the government would like to use its full authority to resolve the issue in accordance with the wishes of the residents, but it is extremely difficult to come up with an opinion that satisfies everyone. is. First of all, we would like to consider enacting a ``town development ordinance'' that would require developers to provide explanations to local residents, for example, to prevent conflicts of opinion in the community. |
| I would like Inagi City to work on administrative reforms that focus on "childcare support" like other advanced cities. For example, in Zushi City, the layout of the city hall has been changed to provide one-stop support for all procedures from before childbirth to the end of compulsory education. I would also like to see more information disseminated to families who have moved in expecting to see Inagi City's child-rearing measures. Many people are doing support activities on their own, and it would be even more convenient to create a ``childcare pamphlet'' that includes paid volunteer work. I would like to see initiatives that meet the expectations of young mothers. |
I am aware that each municipality is making various unique efforts. Inagi City also established a director in charge of child welfare when it reorganized in 2014, and is promoting efforts toward one-stop and centralization of child-rearing measures. Due to the limited space in the government building, it has not been possible to arrange the departments side-by-side in terms of layout, but work-related reform efforts are progressing. In addition, we are promoting one-stop support for children with developmental disabilities, and in response to the problem of not being able to share information when going from nursery school to elementary school, we have newly launched a development support center, and the special support education consultation room is also in the same room. and share information. Volunteer activities have been very popular in Inagi City since long ago. However, in recent years, it has become difficult for those who receive volunteer services to be turned around to provide them. The generational change did not go well, but I think there are aspects of the situation that are different between existing areas and new towns. I would like to consider volunteering as child-rearing in general in the future. |
