6 In promoting the Road Specific Business Plan
In November 2000, the Law Concerning the Promotion of Smooth Movement Using Public Transportation for Elderly and Physically Disabled Persons (commonly known as the Traffic Barrier-Free Law) came into effect.
In response to this, Yokohama City has been developing basic concepts in areas around major stations in central Tokyo and Fukutoshin. In August 2004, we formulated the "Tsurumi Station Area Traffic Barrier-Free Basic Concept" for the area around Tsurumi Station, where business, commercial, public facilities, welfare and medical facilities are located in the center of Tsurumi Ward.
To realize this basic concept, Road and Highway Bureau has formulated a road-specific business plan that defines the business content and business period. In the future, we will implement road projects based on this plan.
The Traffic Barrier-Free Law is intended to reduce the physical burden associated with transportation using public transportation such as the elderly and the physically handicapped, and to improve the convenience and safety of transportation. We promote barrier-free through two pillars of "barrier-free" and "barrier-free priority maintenance districts".
Tsurumi district consisting of citizens such as academics, elderly people, persons with disabilities, related businesses, administrative organizations, etc., to promote barrier-free in the priority maintenance district, which is one of them. The basic concept was formulated after repeated examinations at the meeting.
In addition, based on around Tsurumi Station district road specific business plan (= business plan of road which Yokohama-shi manages) that we devised along this basic design, we carry out business by 2010.
The following are the routes for priority maintenance areas and barrier-free in the Tsurumi Station area.
The priority maintenance area is a district where major facilities such as public facilities and welfare facilities are located within a range of approximately 500m (walking area) centered on passenger facilities such as railway stations where there are considerable numbers of users. This is an area where barrier-free will be implemented in an integrated manner.
The priority maintenance areas are areas that include the triangular intersection on the Kitakata side from JR Tsurumi Station, the Tsurumi Post Office on the east side, Sojijiji Railroad Crossing to the south, and Toyooka Street on the west side.
There are three routes for barrier-free: a specific route, a semi-specific route, and a route that is consistent with the specific route.
・As a general rule, a specific route is a route that carries out maintenance along the standards based on the Traffic Barrier-Free Law by 2010 or at this stage, maintenance based on the Yokohama City Welfare Town Development Ordinance is maintained, It is a route that does not particularly hinder smooth movement of people with disabilities.
・A semi-specific route is a route that takes into account repair opportunities for issues in the future and work on maintenance for barrier-free.
・A route that is consistent with a specific route is a route that complements smooth movement by maintaining it together with a specific route.
In important point maintenance district established in basic design, "section of road" where road manager carries out road identification business according to basic design, "contents and planned implementation period" of road specific business to be carried out every section And "important matters to be considered" when carrying out road specific projects.
Target year
For specific routes and routes that are consistent with specific routes, maintenance will be implemented by 2010. For other routes, we will take advantage of opportunities such as repairs and work to make them barrier-free.
Maintenance level setting
In order to realize barrier-free in a focused and integrated manner by 2010, we will carry out repairs for places where barrier-free can be achieved by partially improving the sidewalks.
In addition, the maintenance level is determined in consideration of cooperation with other businesses and pedestrian continuity.
Maintenance standards
We carry out maintenance based on road movement facilitation maintenance guidelines. The main maintenance standards are "the effective width of the sidewalk should be 2m or more", "paving materials should be flat, non-slip, and well drained", "make the vertical gradient of the sidewalk to 5% or less", "Install a flat yellow part at the connection of the pedestrian crossing", "In principle, the steps on the sidewalk connected to the pedestrian crossing should be 2 cm. "
（１） Development plan for individual routes
We show maintenance plan about route to carry out road specific business by 2010 to promote barrier-free early in priority and integrated manner. In addition, in order to make the plan more effective, the plan may be reviewed due to coordination with other companies or budgets.
The following seven routes to carry out road identification projects.
| Route name | Kuyakusho-dori St. (City Road Shioiri Toyooka Line No. 7014) |
|---|---|
| Business segments | From National Route 15 near Shio-Tsuruhashi |
| Line extension | 210 meters |
| Projected year | 2005 |
| Maintenance Policy | The effective width of the sidewalk is wide, and it can be said that it is a flat and relatively easy to walk. Therefore, road repairs such as properly laying blocks for guiding visually impaired persons will be performed. |
| Maintenance contents | Improvement of sidewalk steps and gradients Improvement and repair of blocks for guiding visually impaired persons 8 locations |
| Route name | East Exit Station PlazaWest Exit Station Square (City Road Tsurumi No. 88, etc.) |
|---|---|
| Business segments | East Exit Station Square to West Exit Station Square (excluding East-West Freeway) |
| Line extension | 150 meters |
| Projected year | From fiscal 2004 to 2005 |
| Maintenance Policy | Because it is the only route connecting the east-west free passage to the station square in the east-west station square, there are some parts that cannot meet the maintenance standards desired by the specific route, but it is necessary to maintain it immediately. Therefore, East Exit secures pedestrian spaces through color paving, and West Exit will use private facilities for maintenance. |
| Maintenance contents | Fully upgrade 150m 10m continuous laying of blocks for guiding visually impaired persons 10m 4 locations of information signs (provisional maintenance) |
| Matters to be considered | Information to the elevator will be provisionally installed, as it is necessary to maintain it while maintaining consistency with the overall sign plan that will be coordinated and implemented between businesses. It is necessary to request a review of the operating hours of existing private elevators. |

| Maintenance Policy | This is an important route from the West Exit ticket gate to West Exit. From the ticket gate, you can access the private building directly through the pedestrian deck, but there is a level difference between the private building and the deck, and it is connected by steep slopes and stairs. Therefore, we will consider improving the slopes and reviewing the operating hours of private elevators. In addition, improvement will be made because the block for guiding visually impaired people at the bus terminal is the same color as the pavement surface. |
| Maintenance contents | 10 improvements in steps and gradients of sidewalks Improvement of cross-cutting gradient 2 Improvement and repair of blocks for guiding visually impaired persons 14 locations Improvement of slope 3 locations (private facilities) |
| Matters to be considered | It is necessary to request a review of the operating hours of existing private elevators. The cooperation of private buildings is essential for improving the slope of the slope. |

We show contents to work as road manager with cooperation of roadside inhabitants to effectively use route to make barrier-free by road identification business effectively. Since the cooperation of citizens is indispensable for this approach, it is important to actively provide information and work with citizens.
○Utilizing city public relations magazines and websites, etc., we provide information on business implementation status and initiatives related to barrier-free.
○Regarding illegal occupied properties and illegal bicycle parking that narrow the effective width, understanding and cooperation of roadside residents and bicycle users is indispensable, and we will continue to provide guidance, removal, call for the promotion of bicycle parking lots, etc. .
○As abandoned bicycle measures, we devise "measures business guidelines such as Yokohama-shi bicycles" to examine role allotment such as administration, citizen, railroad company.
○As a measure to leave obstacles on the block for guiding visually impaired people, we will work on enlightenment activities, such as laying PR sheets on guidance blocks.
Road maintenance promoted by the Traffic Barrier-Free Law will be barrier-free by 2010, and in promoting the business, cooperation of related parties such as traffic managers, railway operators, road occupation companies, and roadside residents. Is required. We ask for your cooperation so that all people can pass with peace of mind.
