Northconnix Project Case Study

• Kent highways to work with residents to establish speed monitoring on cut through roads and to establish where public transport is lacking.

The town of Halton Hill’s population includes the areas of Georgetown and Acton and other communities such as Erin, Oakville, Burlington and Milton regions. This is what is considered to be my community because these are the many places that I am visiting most often and they are always referred to together as “Halton Hills Region” (p.5, 2011). With the substantial increase in population in the Halton Hills region, more specifically Georgetown, there should be a strong demand for a public transit system to counteract all of the environmental disturbances that are being caused due to this increase. One of the things that is happening is that there are so many trees they are cutting down in order to expand and grow the population with houses being built. Statistics are showing that the population of Halton Hill’s region will expand by 54% over the next 20 years (p.5, 2011). By the year 2031, employment rates will increase by 75%, leaving Halton with 42,100 jobs being offered (p.5, 2011). With this rapid influx of citizens, this will only increase the demands of travel to get to these work places as well as other destinations (p.5, 2011). Over the past couple of year’s the traffic congestion on the major roads in Halton Hills such as Trafalgar Road and Regional Road 25 with individuals trying to get to and from work. There used to be very little traffic in these areas, however since Halton Hill’s has continued to expand, the utilization of automobiles has significantly increased due to the fact there is no public transit system. The Transportation Demand Management in Halton Hill’s is noticing the increase in automobiles stating that there needs to be a major shift in more efficient ways of transportation, yet there still has been nothing improvised (p.7, 2011). The Transportation Demand

Britain’s first motorway , the 13 km Preston bypass was opened in 1958, and following this the Goverment planned to improve 6750km of road to at least dual carriageway standard to form strategic inter-urban network for England. This network was marked as a national commitment, which would enhance road safety, be easily connected to all major centres of population, promote economic growth and regional development.

Imagine yourself looking across a river, filled with birds, deer and a beaver. These animals are at peace and you are at peace with the ultimate certainty that all things will be right, healthy, and indestructible. Until the Northern Gateway Pipeline is built directly through the lake, disrupting not only you, but the environment, habitat and ecosystem.

Along with benefits and concerns, some organizations were engaged in active campaigns to stop the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline. Some of these organizations include Douglas Channel Watch (Kitimat), Friends of Wild Salmon and Prince Rupert Environmental from Grassroots organizations in northern B.C., Dogwood Initiative and Greenpeace Canada Foundation from Provincial and National NGOs, Carrier-Sekani Tribal Council, Office of the Wet’suwet’en, Coastal First Nations and Yinka Dene Alliance from First Nations organizations and The PipeDreams Project which is a kayak expedition along proposed tanker route and On The Line which is a self-propelled journey along the length of the proposed pipeline route from Awareness-raising Expeditions.

Also, according to the same article, at some points when concrete is being poured, citizens who are living on Main Street may not be able to access their homes. This will cause an inconvenience, as most people work during the day, and when they come home from work, they may not be able to access their homes. Next, also according to the article “South Main Street Reconstruction Still in Planning Stages” By Matt Gardner (www.hngnews.com), the planned detour as of right now is from Interstate 94 to Highway 26, to Highway 18. Another option would be to go from Main Street to Madison Street, then heading out Lake Street and to Highway Q. People who lives on Highway Q, Family's are concerned this road will become overly crowded, which will lead to traffic jams and accidents. In addition, there will be no way around Pinnacle Drive and Topel Street. I spoke with Tara Topel, one of the owners of Topel’s Towing and Repair, and asked her some questions. First, I asked, “Do you think that your business will be affected by the Main Street construction project?” Topel replied by saying, “Yes, it most definitely. `We are actually planning on relocating temporarily during the construction.” Next, I asked “Are you worried”, Ms. Topel replied,

On Wednesday, May 16, 2018, a town hall meeting was held at AREA to determine whether or not to advance and increase the production of oil sands and the Northern Gateway Pipeline project. Nine groups attended with various insights regarding the oil sands production and the Northern Gateway pipeline project.

How many times have you got on a road and have been jammed for hours? This problem is happening all around Australia. It is a serious, serious problem and leads to other major consequences. Car accident is the one that comes in mind first. Research shows that nearly 3 million people on roads of Australia have been involved in a car accident every year. One of the biggest reasons for this is narrow roads. I will make sure that when I become Prime Minister, roads will be widened as much as possible. For the better for you, for the better for your family, for the better for Australia, I should be the next Prime

The goals of the infrastructure and Natural Resources policies of the Plan are to support infrastructure within the Greenbelt area but minimizing environmental impact. Nonetheless, their main goal is to influence transportation through the Greenbelt that conforms to the policies to the plan (Transportation development strategy report, 2012). The Greenbelt Plan has strict policies as to how infrastructure and transportation through the greenbelt is

Although this plan does improve traffic flow in the area, it is not a perfect solution. With the growing populations in both Eaganville and Compinwood, traffic congestion will be back to the levels that they are currently at right now. At some point, capital will have to be used to increase traffic flow. Once capital is put into the system, there may be some pushback from some of the groups. In particular, 500 Friends of Gilder will not want to add additional bridges and instead will opt for a different solution.

business aspects were incorporated prior to launching a Carbon Tax program (as per class discussion, week 2). Alternatively, the Northern Gateway pipeline incorporated the technical, scientific, and economic aspects; however, it lacked the cultural component. The impact on aboriginal groups was not calculated. Furthermore, it was evident that there was no cultural expertise in the matter of building the pipeline (as per class discussion, week 2).

In a survey of Houstonians, over 82% of those surveyed says that they would rather travel on a four lane street compared to a two lane street because they feel that it is faster (Vu). With more lanes on Old Foltin Road and Essie Road, drivers will have more opportunity to switch lanes if the lane that they are currently on is slow or an accident has occurred on the lane. This will reduce the time spent in traffic. By reducing the time spent in traffic, one is able to help reduce the congestion by being one less car on the streets. Additionally, on a multiple lane street, there is typically a fast lane (“When”). The fast lane, usually the farthest left lane, is designed for drivers who tend to drive faster than others around them. The fast lane enables traffic to flow smoother which in turn will deduce the amount of congestion. “The left lane is saved for those currently passing. It is a very simple, yet effective rule that helps drivers stay safe and minimizes traffic congestion” (“When”). With the reduction of traffic congestion due to the fast lanes, drivers are able to have more time on their hands to spend with their families. By using more lanes, Old Foltin Road and Essie Road will be able to reduce the disruption of vehicles entering and exiting Our Lady of

In 2006, $200 million and an estimated 2,000 lives were saved by using a comprehensive safety program called the Keystone Project, which presented a checklist of five crucial steps for central-line catheter placement; as a result, a dramatic reduction in central-line associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) was observed. The agency also developed 19 simulation grants to establish a safe environment in which clinicians can obtain proficiency in various clinical settings and procedures such as treating acute myocardial infarction, ultrasound-guided central venous catheter placement, and the disclosure of medical errors (AHRQ, 2012, pp. 7 – 8).

Please be advised, the I-75 Express Lanes Project currently implements a number of procedures to ensure motorist safety during construction. The Department's contractors are responsible for providing work zone acceleration and deceleration lanes to allow construction vehicles to safely enter and exit work areas. These work zones access areas are constructed to meet the Department’s guidelines. To ensure safety within the construction zone, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has hired additional Florida
