| 1 | Four days | About road widening or lane creation | At the intersection from Wakabadai 1-chome 7-Eleven to Bashamichi, there is a long line of cars turning left on weekends, causing traffic jams as cars wanting to go straight cannot proceed. I would like the lane in front of 7-Eleven to be made into 3 lanes. If we eliminate the median strip, we can create enough width, and I think even if we leave the median strip and draw only the lanes, congestion will be alleviated considerably. | We are aware that the intersection you mention is subject to traffic congestion for a certain period of time on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. In addition, regarding the requested three-lane intersection, it is not possible to secure the width for three lanes by redrawing the dividing line (white line) due to the structure of the road. As large-scale improvements are required, we will continue to closely monitor future traffic conditions and discuss improvements with the Tama Chuo Police Station, etc., as necessary. | Management Division Traffic Countermeasures Section |
| 2 | Four days | About road signs and curved mirrors | I would like to see road signs and curved mirrors installed at the T-junction on the road that passes by the Nanzan Base, which is one of the roads leading to Nanzan Elementary School. In addition to being a school route, there are no safety measures in place, so cars come down the hill at considerable speed. I have seen several situations where not only pedestrians and cars collide, but also cars collide with each other. | When we checked the site, we found that corner cuts have been made at the intersection, ensuring visibility, so we are not currently considering installing curved mirrors, but we will continue to pay close attention to safety measures throughout the area. Masu. For information on the installation requirements for curved mirrors, please see the Inagi City website "Living/Procedures → Traffic Safety/Bicycles → Traffic Safety → Curved Mirrors". Additionally, the decision to install road signs will be at the discretion of the Metropolitan Police Department, but we will consider requests to the Tama Chuo Police Station, which has jurisdiction, while taking future land use progress into consideration. |

| 3 | 11th | About the traffic lights at Yanoguchi intersection | Some Yanoguchi intersections do not have acoustic push-button traffic lights for the visually impaired. Could Inagi City make a proposal to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and the National Police Agency for the installation? | When we checked the Yanoguchi intersection, as you pointed out, an acoustic push-button traffic signal was installed only on one side. In order to further ensure the safety of pedestrians crossing the road, the city requests that the Tama Chuo Police Station install acoustic push-button traffic lights in all directions at the intersection. | Management Division Traffic Countermeasures Section |
| 4 | 25th | How to collect and recycle plastic waste | Separate collection of plastic waste has begun, but how exactly is the plastic waste collected in Inagi City recycled? | In April 2020, the city began collecting plastic containers and packaging and product plastics in bulk as an initiative to contribute to the country's carbon neutrality by 2050. Plastic waste collected in the city is collected at Kunitachi City's transshipment storage facility, where it is transferred to large vehicles for efficient transport to intermediate processing facilities. After that, impurities are removed, and the material is compressed and packaged at an intermediate processing facility in Saitama Prefecture in order to be recycled. Finally, it will be recycled at a recycling business located in Saitama Prefecture. The plastics collected from everyone will be reborn as pallets and bags through bidding. The city's goal for the first year is to collect approximately 1,200 tons per year and expect a CO2 reduction effect of 3,600 tons/year. | Living Environment Division Garbage and Recycling Section |

| 1 | Four days | About After-school Classes for Children | Starting this year, we have started providing snacks to those who request them, but I think the quantities are small and the prices are high. Some children go to lessons after school and stay active until after 7 p.m. I would like to see more things to prey on, or I would like to be able to bring in sweets. | Regarding the provision of snacks at after-school children's classrooms, as prices continue to soar, we are asking businesses to make every effort possible to provide more fulfilling snacks at a set price. I would like Additionally, please refrain from bringing snacks into the classroom, except in unavoidable circumstances such as children with allergies. The after-school classroom for children is a project that provides a place for children to stay until a maximum of 6 p.m., so we ask each family to consider how to deal with cases where children have to return home even later due to lessons, etc. |

| 2 | Four days | About elementary school lunch tableware | I wonder why the tableware used for school lunches in elementary schools is always made of ceramic. I hear from children that items break every day due to their carelessness. Taxes are a waste. Please tell me why you don't use unbreakable tableware. | As for the tableware used for school lunches, in response to requests from parents, we have introduced individual tableware to all elementary and junior high schools since 2002. When introducing individual tableware, from the perspective of dietary education, it is important that the material is similar to tableware used at home, and that the material is scratch-resistant and can withstand use in high-temperature dishwashers and disinfection storage machines. For this reason, we decided to introduce the current reinforced porcelain tableware. As you pointed out, tableware can break when dropped, etc., but considering that tableware is breakable, we believe that part of dietary education is to foster an awareness of how to handle it with care. Thank you for your understanding. |

| 3 | 5 days | Regarding heatstroke prevention measures at elementary schools | The school newsletter stated, ``Starting in July, you can put sports drinks in your water bottle.'' Why did you decide to start from July even though the days were hot? | Regarding heat stroke countermeasures, the Inagi City Board of Education has notified all municipal elementary and junior high schools in writing multiple times since May of this year, and has also communicated with principals' associations, vice principals' associations, daily life guidance supervisors' associations, school nurse liaison meetings, etc. I am teaching. In particular, with regard to hydration, we have instructed students to properly hydrate themselves before and after educational activities, and to create an environment where they can replenish their fluids. In response to this feedback, the Board of Education will instruct each school to re-instruct each school to allow them to refill their water bottles with water, tea, sports drinks, and other items as needed without any restrictions regarding hydration. We have received reports that there are. |

| 4 | 15th day | Ensuring privacy for elementary school health checkups and internal medicine checkups | During the internal medicine checkup for the pre-school health checkup, the child was mixed, male and female, shirtless, there was no partition, so other parents could see him, and he could not speak with the doctor. I have heard that the same applies to elementary school internal medicine checkups. Please ensure privacy during medical examinations for lower grades of elementary school students. | First of all, we would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused due to the inappropriate handling at some schools of the medical examination that required students to undress. Regarding school health checkups, the Inagi City Board of Education, based on a notification from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, has decided that there may be situations in which undressing is required for early detection of diseases, etc., and to protect the privacy of students. We instruct children to take into consideration their developmental stage. In addition, when conducting health examinations at each school, we instruct schools to conduct health examinations after sufficient consultation between the school and the school doctor, based on the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology notification, but we do not provide enough guidance to protect the privacy of students. We have once again made sure that all schools are aware of the need to take appropriate precautions. |

| 1 | 11th | About the ball play area | When children are playing ball under Inagi Ohashi Bridge, it can be dangerous because they can jump outside, but I feel sorry for them because there is no other place to play ball, so I would like to see a net placed under Inagi Ohashi Bridge. | Inagi Ohashi Fureai Park is located on the south side of the plaza in front of the Oshidate Fureai Hall, and a ball protection net was installed in the park in 2019 at the request of the neighborhood association. However, please refrain from playing soccer, baseball, or other games where the ball flies out of the park, or hitting the ball against park facilities or bridges. |

| 2 | 12th | About Inagi City Hospital parking lot | There used to be plenty of parking spaces for wheelchairs, but now there are only two spaces, so I take a taxi to get to the hospital. However, when I returned home after my consultation, there were no taxis, and there was a long line at the taxi stand, so I had to wait a long time before I could get a ride. Ride-hailing apps cannot be used near the hospital, and when I called the taxi company, the only answer I got was "Please wait." Even though I'm going to the hospital because I'm not feeling well, it's extremely painful to wait for a taxi in this year's intense heat. Don't hospitals put patients first? Please improve. |
In response to the new coronavirus, we had partially closed the parking lot for people in wheelchairs in order to provide outpatient clinics with fever, but the status of the facility has changed from being equivalent to a category 2 infectious disease to a category 5 infectious disease under the Infectious Disease Control Law. , we are currently considering returning to normal based on the infection situation. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding. We also checked with operators regarding the use of taxis. When a call is received for a pick-up, a request is made to each vehicle at the same time, but as has been reported recently, there is a serious shortage of drivers, and the operating rate of the vehicles has dropped to about 50%. However, there are many cases where you may have to wait due to weather conditions such as midsummer days. Since taxi dispatch apps differ depending on the operator, we recommend that you try the taxi dispatch apps ``GO'' and ``S.RIDE.'' |

| 3 | The 22nd | About autumn events | Inagi City's specialty products, pears and grapes, are hard to come by. I go to the sales office, but as a citizen, I don't find it to be a fun event. Therefore, as an autumn event, I was wondering if you could organize a large direct sales event where farmers bring their own pears and grapes to sell. | Inagi's pears and grapes are cultivated by each farmer in a variety of varieties and sold while checking their growth conditions, and are very popular. However, all of the farms in Inagi operate on a small scale, and the harvested pears and grapes are mainly sold by pre-order and home delivery, and because the quantities that come to direct sales stores are small, they sell out quickly. is the current situation. For this reason, we believe that it would be very difficult to hold a large autumn direct sales event where each farmer brings their own crops, as you have proposed. Inagi City holds the ``I-no-Machi Inagi Citizens Festival'' every year as an autumn event, and Inagi City's sister cities and friendship cities such as Ozora Town in Hokkaido, Nozawa Onsen Village in Nagano Prefecture, and Soma City in Fukushima Prefecture also participate. We also sell special products from each municipality. This year, it is scheduled to be held near the Inagi City General Gymnasium on October 21st and 22nd, so please join us. |

| 4 | 25th | About disaster prevention radio | I live near the disaster prevention administrative radio station. A broadcast requesting parents to watch over their children is broadcast at 2 p.m. on weekdays when elementary school students return home, but the volume is so loud that it wakes up children who are napping at home, which is a problem. Could you please lower the volume a little? | Watch broadcasts using disaster prevention administrative radio are broadcast to elementary school students in order to ask for cooperation from local people in watching over children to ensure their safety and security, as crimes targeting children continue to occur nationwide. The event is held at 2:00 p.m., in line with the time when students (especially lower grades) usually leave school. Regarding the circumstances that led to the implementation of the monitoring broadcast, at the Inagi City Safe and Secure Community Development Promotion Council held in June last year, members of the Tama Central Police Station expressed the opinion that it has a certain effect on deterring crime. This was done in response to comments from members of the promotion council who suggested that we implement this for the safety and security of children. We have also received feedback from the general public that they would like this to be implemented. For this broadcast, the volume settings on the broadcasting equipment are set to low, high, medium, and low, with the hope that children will not be involved in incidents or accidents. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. In addition, the city's disaster prevention administrative radio broadcasts are divided into two groups to make it easier to hear the broadcast content and prevent echoes, so in some areas you may hear two broadcasts, one from a far speaker and one from a nearby speaker. However, we appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this regard. |
