To analyze local residents' awareness about the new road across Tokyo Bay, we carried out a free response test about the road in four areas near the bay. The words written with higher frequency in the test are used for the analysis in each survey area. The difference of the frequency of each word among the survey areas is investigated by a hypothesis testing procedure. It is shown that characteristic concerns in each area are noise and air pollution caused by traffic flow, social affairs such as population growth and land price hike, and problems related to fisheries. The convenience of the road is a matter of primary interest in all the four areas.
