　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 Aoba Ward, as a central area of the ward, we have formulated the Basic Concept for Barrier-Free Area around Ichigao Station, where public facilities such as administrative facilities, cultural facilities, welfare facilities, and commercial facilities are concentrated.

　This time, for the realization of this basic design, we have formulated the "Yokohama City Ichigao Station Area Road Specific Business Plan". In the future, we will implement the project based on this plan.

　The Barrier-Free Law provides buildings and public transportation, as well as off-street parking lots and city parks for all persons, including the elderly, the physically handicapped, intellectual, mental and developmental disabilities, pregnant women, and injured persons. The aim is to reduce the burden on the body involved in transportation and to improve the convenience and safety of transportation, and to promote barrier-free through the following two measures.

• 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 The facility installation managers such as owners are required to comply with the "barrier-free maintenance standards (standards for facilitation such as movement)" determined for each facility. In addition, efforts are imposed on these existing facilities to comply with the standards.

• Integrated barrier-free of priority maintenance areas
  　Municipalities are responsible for public transportation, buildings, roads, off-street parking in areas centered on passenger facilities such as railway stations, and in areas where facilities used by the elderly and disabled are gathered (important maintenance areas). In order to promote barrier-free parking, city parks, traffic lights, etc., we can create a "barrier-free basic concept" in a focused and integrated manner.

　In priority maintenance districts, to promote barrier-free public transportation such as railway stations, public facilities such as roads and parks, and public buildings used by the elderly, disabled, etc. It defines the range of priority maintenance districts, routes (life-related routes) to make barrier-free, and the contents of projects (specific projects, etc.) to be implemented for barrier-free.

　After basic design development, each company will make concrete business plan based on basic design and carry out barrier-free in important maintenance district. In Yokohama City, in principle, we will carry out the project with the goal of completing the project within 5 years from the basic design development.

　In the "Basic Concept for Barrier-Free around Ichigao Station in Yokohama City", "Life-related facilities" and "Life-related routes" are defined.

　Facilities such as passenger facilities, government facilities, and welfare facilities used by the elderly and disabled in daily life or social life.

　Mainly, the condition that (1) the facility is used by an unspecified number of people, including the elderly and the disabled, and (2) the means leading to the facility is mainly on foot from Ichigao Station. Facilities that meet

　It is a route between living-related facilities, especially a route that requires barrier-free.

　Life-related routes are classified into the following two categories according to the target maintenance level.

• Of the lifestyle-related routes, routes that carry out maintenance in accordance with the standards for facilitating movement, etc. based on the Barrier-Free Law, or routes that have already been maintained in accordance with the standards.

• Due to local restrictions such as topography and urbanization among the lifestyle-related routes, it cannot be set to Life-related Route A, but taking into account the road function and role of the route, movement based on the Barrier-Free Law as much as possible Routes to carry out maintenance in accordance with smoothing standards (set as Yokohama City's unique approach)

　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

　As a general rule, maintenance will be carried out with the goal of FY2020.

　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.

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

　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".

　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.

　Target routes and business plans are as follows:

　We show the following about contents to work on as road manager to promote "road specific business".

• Utilizing websites, etc., we will provide information on the status of barrier-free business implementation and initiatives.
• We perform instruction, removal to cancel illegal private use article to narrow effective width of road and to prevent illegally occupied bicycles which hinder traffic and call for use of bicycle parking lot.

　In order to create a walking space network that allows everyone to move safely and comfortably, the cooperation of stakeholders such as traffic managers, railway operators, road occupants, and roadside residents is required. Thank you very much for your cooperation.
