Basic Concept for Barrier-free area around Odori Station

Totsuka Ward and Izumi Ward, based on the Barrier-Free Law, we have created a basic concept to promote barrier-free access so that everyone, including the elderly, disabled, and those raising children, can move smoothly and use stations and facilities. In the future, each company will create a business plan based on this basic concept, and will implement the business sequentially.
