Discussion report

I attended the city hall meeting. The topic of the discussion was about the illegal parking. There were many bicycles parked illegally in front of a store that Momoko works at. One day, a little child was injured by the bicycles. The parents complained to workers of the store, but they couldn't take responsibility. They are troubled with the illegal parking.
There were 5 panelists. Saori called Risa is a high school student. She goes to school by bicycle every day. There are no parking area, so she has no choice but to park illegally. Yuka called Miki is 30 years old. She is a city officer. Sakurako called Momoko is a shop assistant. She is troubled with the illegal parking. Her father is a guard of a parking area. Mai called Yoshiko is 20 years old and she works in the city center. She required Miki to construct a new parking area opened 24 hours. Keiko is 18 years old. She rides a scooter to go to a party held in the city center every week.The party starts at 10 pm, but a parking area closes at 10 pm, so she parks in front of the store.
Important points of the discussion were whether we should construct a new parking area or not and whether we should set parking fee free or not. The outcome of the discussion is that Miki decided to construct a new parking area opened 24 hours in the city center. The parking fee will set 100 yen. If the city can't maintain the parking area, the parking fee will be increased.
I thought that we must not allow the illegal parking. When you park your bicycle and your scooter, you won't need wide space. It is easier to park bicycles and scooters than to park cars, so there are many bicycles parked illegally. We should understand the illegality to eliminate the illegal parking.
The position of panelists and the focus of the discussion were not clear. They should have showed their position and set the focus clearly. The situation was easy to understand. The illegal parking was an issue that is close to me, so I was had thinking. I thought it was good that panelists exchanged their opinions lively and they listened to other people's opinions carefully.
