| I would like to ask about the current situation of Tsurukawa Kaido. | The Tsurukawa Kaido (Hyakumura section) received business approval from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government in January 2017, and a site information session was held in May 2017. Currently, the land acquisition procedures are underway. |
| We have been contacted by the Tokyo Metropolitan Minamitama Eastern Construction Office regarding the widening of Tsurukawa Kaido, but it appears that no progress has been made in the acquisition. We are aware that the traffic situation on Tsurukawa Kaido is dangerous, but we cannot take the road as it stands. How will the city respond in the future? | In the Hyakumura area, there was once a plan for a land readjustment project to be implemented by the city, but that idea was scrapped. The widening of Tsurukawa Kaido, a metropolitan road, is a project carried out by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, but due to various circumstances, the project has changed several times and its construction has been delayed. The city has been requesting the Tokyo metropolitan government to start construction as soon as possible, and the project has finally been included in the metropolitan government's fourth business plan. In the future, we would like to coordinate with the local community regarding land acquisition for the relevant sections, and work together with the city, metropolitan government, and local assembly members to advance the project. |
| I would like to ask you about the current status of Nanzan development. | The current progress of the Minamiyama district is that Minamiyama Elementary School and Shiroyama Nursery School Minamiyama opened on April 1, 2015, Inagi/Fuchu Memorial Park began operation in October 2015, and March 2016. A commercial facility, Yaoko, opened in 2007, and plans are being made to develop the town. Future plans include the opening of a certified childcare center in April 2019, the start of use of a portion of the residential land on the southwest side, the start of operation of a new school lunch kitchen in September 2020, and the Construction of the Yomiuri Giants' new farm stadium is scheduled to begin at the end of March 2021. Currently, a portion of Urban Planning Roads 3, 4, and 16 has been completed, and the section from in front of the pastry shop Whip, passing in front of Yaoko, to Nanzan Elementary School, and the Inagi/Fuchu Cemetery Association is now open to traffic. We will continue to work on improving roads, parks, and green spaces, with the goal of completing construction by March 2025. |
| Minamiyama is a complicated area with boundaries between Hyakumura, Yanoguchi, and Higashi-Naganuma. Should this area be designated as a new town, and if so, how should the town names be organized? If I were to make it into a new town, I would like it to be open to the public. | The city is concerned about the current situation, where the lot numbers of addresses are skipped, making it difficult to understand. Therefore, we have set up a department in charge, set up a citizens' meeting, and are taking the time to formulate a ``basic policy for organizing addresses.'' There are various methods for organizing addresses, but ``lot number sorting'' is the process of reassigning lot numbers in a regular manner. ``Residence indication'' under the Residence Indication Act is a method of assigning a number to a building without changing the number of the land. The procedure for changing the name of a town is called ``change of town name,'' but changing the name of a town would require the consensus of the residents. When the Nanzan land readjustment project is completed, the land numbers will be reassigned to the landowners, but it is also necessary to consider reorganizing town boundaries and addresses at this time. When building that consensus, we would like to have the local community participate in the discussions and work on it. |
| The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has announced the designation of landslide warning areas, but if land is designated as a warning area, how will the land be assessed for tax purposes? It appears that neighboring cities have already decided to take action. Also, will the property tax assessment change for residential units located at the bottom of cliffs, which are designated as cautionary areas? |
Landslide warning areas are designated by the Landslide Prevention Act, and prefectures are gradually proceeding with the designation and announcement, and Inagi City will soon be holding an information session for residents. The current system also includes corrections for sloped land in property tax assessments, but with the new designation in Inagi City, the assessment will be considered in the future. |
| The Inagi Chuobashi bus stop is close to the intersection, and there is a guardrail on the side of the passing area, so when a bus stops, the back becomes clogged and cars are stuck inside the intersection. Can improvements be made, such as removing the guardrails? | Regarding matters such as the removal of guardrails, this is the responsibility of the police, so we would like to make a request to the police. |
| The stairs between Inagi-en and Kobushi-dori are dark and difficult to see, so I hope they fix this. Also, the plants are growing over the handrails, so I would like something to be done about it. | I understand the location and situation. |
| I would like to see more clinics open on holidays, even just during the influenza season. | Holiday and emergency medical treatment is provided with the cooperation of the Inagi City Medical Association. I would like to receive your opinion and continue to request the medical association to improve the medical treatment system. Please note that the Emergency Consultation Center and the Inagi Fire Department will direct you to nearby medical institutions that will be providing treatment at the time of your inquiry, and we encourage you to take advantage of these services as well. |
| A Gundam monument was built in front of Inagi-Naganuma Station to attract tourism, but is it being used effectively? | We have not conducted street surveys before and after the Gundam Zaku monument was installed, so we do not have a detailed count of the number, but a large number of people have visited the "Pair Terrace" under the elevated railway, and it has received a certain amount of publicity. I think it's effective. The area around Inagi-Naganuma Station is becoming more lively due to the progress of land readjustment projects, improving the convenience of living, and increasing the number of residences. Although there are strict voices telling us not to play around with tax dollars, most of the costs involved in creating this monument came from donations, which we are putting to good use. |
| The policy pamphlet distributed today mentions the use of vacant Tokyo residents' housing for ``building a comprehensive community care system,'' but what kind of project will actually be developed? | We are currently planning to have them join helper stations and day services. |
