1.Introduction

 In Yokohama City, following the enforcement of the Barrier-Free Law (Law Concerning the Promotion of Smooth Movement of Elderly and Disabled Persons) in December 2006, everyone can conduct independent daily and social life We are promoting barrier-free measures to create an environment where people can do it.
 In November 2018, Totsuka Ward created the Basic Concept for Barrier-Free in Totsuka Ward, and in March 2013, Izumi Ward created the Basic Concept for Barrier-Free in the Area around Izumi-Chuo Station and Tateba Station.
 Ooba Station is located across Totsuka Ward and Izumi Ward, and is a hub for local transportation, and cultural facilities, welfare facilities and commercial facilities are concentrated around the area. In July 2022, we created a new "Basic Concept for Barrier-Free in the Area around Odoriba Station."
 This time, for the realization of this basic design, we have formulated the "Yokohama-shi Odoriba Station Area Road Specific Business Plan".
 In the future, we will implement the project based on this plan.
