Basic concept for barrier-free areas around Kami-Ooka Station and Konan-Chuo Station

In Yokohama City, based on the Barrier-Free Law, everyone, including the elderly, disabled, and those who are raising children, can move smoothly and use stations and facilities in areas centered on Kami-Ooka Station and Konan Chuo Station. We have formulated a basic concept to promote barrier-free.
In the future, each company will create a business plan based on this basic concept, and will implement the project sequentially.

The area around Kami-Ooka Station and Konan Chuo Station are areas where commercial, business and cultural functions and public service functions such as the Konan Ward Office are concentrated, and many people are active.

The barrier-free basic concept was set up by setting up the "Kamiooka District Subcommittee" consisting of academics, citizens such as the elderly and the disabled, and related businesses and administrative organizations.

We introduced the "Traffic Barrier-Free Law" and the "Basic Concept for Traffic Barrier-Free", and exchanged opinions on the area around Kami-Ooka Station and Konan Chuo Station.

Regarding the area of the priority maintenance area and the target route, we examined the first plan and examined how to proceed with the next town walk inspection workshop.

In addition to the members of the district subcommittee also participated, and after actually checking the site and summarized the issues.

In addition to organizing the results of the town walk inspection workshop, we examined issues in the district and countermeasures against them.

In response to the issues of the district obtained through the town walk inspection workshop and the countermeasures against it, we examined a basic design draft that compiled the basic design together.

For basic design draft, we carried out citizen opinion offer to have opinion from users widely and to reflect in development of barrier-free basic design.

We examined opinion and correspondence obtained by citizen opinion offer and examined basic design original draft based on the result.
