The Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks asked Fukuoka City to support plans to install a moving walkway between Mizuho PayPay Dome and the nearest subway station, officials said. The proposed covered walkway would span about one kilometer between the dome and Tojinmachi Station, a route that becomes crowded during baseball games and major events. On December 16, a senior team executive submitted a formal request to Mayor Soichiro Takashima, seeking cooperation on permits and other requirements. The plan envisions an elevated, roofed structure built above the Komo River to improve access and visitor convenience. Mayor Takashima said the city would cooperate to help realize the proposal and expressed hope for its completion. Source: TNC
