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 March 2014, Isogo Ward created the “Basic Concept for Barrier-Free Areas around Sugita Station and Shin-Sugita Station” to promote barrier-free areas around stations. About eight years have passed since the formulation of this basic concept, and in order to build a barrier-free environment based on past achievements and achievements, we have developed a new "Isogo Ward Barrier-Free Concept" that includes the area around Negishi Station and the area around Isogo Station and Foldenura Station.
This time, in order to realize this new basic concept, we have formulated the "Negishi Station, Isogo Station, Foldenura Station, Sugita Station, and Shinsugida Station Area Road Specific Business Plan in Yokohama City".
In the future, we will implement the project based on this plan.

２．Framework of Barrier-Free Law

（１） What is the Barrier-Free Law?

In order to improve the convenience and safety of mobility and facility use for the elderly, disabled, pregnant women, injured persons, etc., we will promote barrier-free by the following two major pillars.

Promotion of barrier-free public transportation, buildings, public facilities, etc.

When constructing or introducing public transportation (passenger facilities such as stations and bus terminals, vehicles such as railway vehicles and buses), as well as specific buildings, roads, off-street parking lots and city parks, each company / building We obligate facility installation managers such as owners to comply with the "barrier-free maintenance standards (moving facilitation standards)" established for each facility. In addition, efforts are imposed on these existing facilities to comply with the standards.

Promotion of barrier-free facilities in priority areas

Municipalities are based on the Barrier-Free Law, in areas centered on passenger facilities such as railway stations, where facilities used by the elderly and disabled gather, and the movement between facilities is usually performed on foot (important maintenance area), we will formulate the "Barrier-Free Basic Concept" in order to promote barrier-free public transportation, buildings, roads, off-street parking lots, city parks, traffic lights, etc. with emphasis and integrally.

（２） What is the Basic Concept of Barrier-Free?

In priority maintenance districts, in order to promote barrier-free public transportation such as railway stations, public facilities such as roads and parks, and public buildings used by elderly people with disabilities, etc. It defines the range of priority maintenance districts and the contents of projects (specific projects, etc.) that should be implemented for barrier-free facilities.
In addition, after basic design development, each company makes concrete business plan based on basic design and will carry out business of barrier-free in important point maintenance district.
In Yokohama-shi, we carry out business in principle five years after basic design development.

３．Priority maintenance areas and routes for barrier-free

In the Isoko-ku, Yokohama City Barrier-Free Basic Concept, priority maintenance districts, life-related facilities, and life-related routes are defined in the area around Negishi Station, Isogo Station, folding screenura Station, Sugita Station, and Shin-Sugita Station.

What are life-related facilities?

Facilities such as passenger facilities, government facilities, and welfare facilities used by the elderly and disabled in daily life or social life.
Mainly, (1) the facility must be used by an unspecified number of people, including the elderly and the disabled. (2) The facility must meet the conditions that it must be within walking distance (approximately 500m to 1km) from Negishi Station, Isogo Station, folding screenura Station, Sugita Station, and Shin-Sugita Station until the facility is reached.

What is a life-related route?

Among the routes connecting life-related facilities, it is a route that has a particularly high need for barrier-free access, referring to the main traffic lines of pedestrians in the district and the current situation of sidewalks.

４．What is the Road Specific Business Plan?

With "road specific business plan", road manager establishes the following matters along basic design in important point maintenance district established in basic design.

"Road section" that implements road identification projects
"Contents and scheduled implementation period" of road-specific projects to be implemented for each section
Other "important matters to be considered" when implementing road-specific projects

５．Maintenance Policy

（１） Target year

As a general rule, maintenance will be carried out with the goal of FY2027.

（２） Setting the maintenance level

We will set maintenance levels such as renovation in consideration of regional characteristics, current design, and surrounding roadside conditions. In addition, in order to carry out effective maintenance, we plan cooperation and consistency with other companies and consider continuity of walking space.

（３） Business scope of the target route

In consideration of the network between living-related facilities, the business scope of the target route was set.

（４） Major maintenance standards

We carry out maintenance based on standard to establish in "the regulations about standard of structure of road necessary for smoothness such as Yokohama-shi movement" and "town development regulations of Yokohama-shi welfare".

６．Maintenance plan

In order to achieve barrier-free priority and integrally, we plan the following routes to carry out the business. In addition, we may carry out review of plan by adjustment and budget with other companies.
