Moreover, because the crossing gate comes down every time, not only commercial trains but also trains entering and leaving the rail yard pass the crossing, neighborhood residents have been requesting the elevation of the station; however, given the huge cost and the poor financial status of Kyoto City it is uncertain whether the elevation will be realized.
更に営業列車のみならず、車両基地への入出庫列車によって踏切の遮断機が頻繁に降りる為、周辺住民からは高架化の要望も出ているが、それには巨額の費用がかかり、京都市の財政事情も芳しくない為、実現の目処は立っていない。
