Yokohama-shi parking lot maintenance basic plan Basic way of thinking

Off-street parking lots have been subject to the "Law Concerning the Promotion of Smooth Movement of Elderly People and Disabled Persons (New Barrier-Free Law)" It is important to consider that you can move smoothly. In parking lot measures, we will promote barrier-free and information provision.

Regarding the composition of carbon dioxide emissions, which account for the majority of Yokohama's greenhouse gas emissions, the transportation sector related to the use of automobiles, etc. accounts for about one-fourth of the total (2003 results), of which the use of automobiles account for 90% of the total emissions. For this reason, it is necessary to reduce automobile traffic, eliminate road traffic congestion, and reduce environmental impact by promoting the use of low-emission vehicles and switching to public transport. In response to this, in order to reduce inefficient car driving, we will promote the development of a more easy-to-understand parking information system.

In Yokohama-shi, we push forward examination about future green way of Yokohama and approach of green town development that citizen, company, administration united in "(tentative name) water and green basic plan" which we are developing now . The green coverage, which is one of the important indicators of the situation of the urban environment, is still decreasing, so it is necessary to promote efforts to protect, create and nurture greenery more than ever. In addition, Yokohama City is currently examining urban greening with the aim of mitigating the heat island phenomenon caused by the increase in environmental impact associated with the accumulation of urban functions in the city center, and creating even more attractive urban areas. We are studying the creation of new mechanisms, such as securing public spaces and greening, and regulations and guidance measures to promote rooftop greening of buildings. About greening of building in Motoichi, we instruct tree planting for building more than site area 500 square meters by "the regulations to make and bring up green environment" (established in June, 1973 in March, 2004 revision) In addition to greening the above ground, we also recognize and guide greening of the rooftops and walls of buildings. In this ordinance, greening of multi-story parking lots is subject to guidance, but since flat parking lots are not eligible, we will consider further greening measures.

As the entrance to the parking lot on the first floor of the building may hinder good scenery and the bustle of the town, it is necessary to flexibly approve the installation of remote parking lots under the attachment obligation system. In addition, in commercial areas where the floor area ratio is high, such as around stations, it may not be desirable to set up an attached parking lot for each individual facility from the viewpoint of town development and road traffic processing. Consider the consolidation of parking lots (* 7).

In order to support tourism policies, we will consider parking lot operation in consideration of transfer to public transport, etc., from the viewpoint of enhancing the provision of easy-to-use parking information and reducing the environmental impact. In the Yokohama-Chinatown area, where there are few sightseeing bus parking lots, we will reduce the number of getting on and off on the streets and promote the operation of boarding stations and waiting areas that make effective and efficient use of existing sightseeing bus parking lots.

Just as most on-street parking is occupied by parking for cargo handling, the installation of cargo handling parking lots is required to facilitate road traffic. For this reason, regarding cargo handling parking lots, we will consider communal cargo handling parking lots for existing buildings and mandatory installation for new buildings. In addition, on-street parking causes traffic congestion and smooth obstruction of road traffic, and occupation of sidewalks by parking bicycles and motorcycles hinders pedestrian traffic. In the future, we will promote measures not only to maintain parking lots, but also to secure safe and smooth road traffic in cooperation with transportation policies. In addition, about parking measures of motorcycles, we promote mainly maintenance by private sector like parking lot for four-wheeled cars.

The concept of town development for each district is to consider the arrangement of entrances to parking lots in order to secure pedestrian spaces and maintain a better landscape, while some districts emphasize the use of cars for visitors to shops. It is different, such as some districts that must be considered. For this reason, we will examine a parking lot maintenance plan that reflects the characteristics of the district and the way of thinking of town development for each district. In addition, in order to further promote community development in the district, we will consider the construction of a system that allows local residents, related companies, public transport operators, governments, etc. to work together to manage parking lot measures and traffic issues. To do.
