Observation: Bancroft Way West Of Bowditch

Have you ever been late to a class because of parking? Have you ever had to show up hours before class just to become that creep that follows people around trying to find a space to park? Or even late to work because of the lack of parking? I know I have at Wright State University. There is such limited parking for commuter students and causes safety problems for the students on campus. Parking shouldn’t be just another stress in a college students life, we should be able to come to school knowing that they we make it to class on time because we will have access to a parking spot. When you live on campus it should be you “home away from home” and you should be able to feel safe.

The situation above is something many college students, especially those here at the University of California Riverside (UCR), are well aware of. Although there are tons of parking lots here at UCR, students still struggle to find a place to park. One of the main reasons is because of the increase in students attending across campuses all over the US. According to the National Center for Educational Statistic, “Between 2001 and 2011, enrollment increased 32 percent, from 15.9 million to 21.0 million.” As a result, the amount of parking spaces here at UCR could not compensate for the growing number of students. A lack of parking spaces can cause many detriments toward the students as it can hinder with their class schedules, cause them to either be late or miss a class, and overall affect their grades. If UCR implement a shuttle bus system for the empty parking lots that are far away from the school, students would be less stress about the parking

On 07/14/16 at 7:07pm, I was dispatched to 1494 Cypresswood Court on a dog at large patrol only. I was arrived at the location and was flagged down by the complainant. The complainant stated the dog was running loose near Dublin Granville Road, her and her husband chase the dog in this general area to prevent the dog from getting hit by a car. The dog was in the backyard of 1494 Cypresswood Court. I enter the backyard and was able to place a leash on the dog. I place the dog in my van. Dog owner Heather Davis reclaimed the dog on 07/15/2016. Ms. Davis was unable to show proof of dog license and vaccinations. I issued Ms. Davis violations for failure to license, failure to vaccinate and failure to control.

The Uses of Sidewalks: Safety and Contact Cities are generators of economic life and source of changes in the world. Thereby, Jane Jacobs in her book The Death and Life of Great American Cities puts into relief the role of cities on the social and economic levels, while denouncing the disastrous consequences of urban renewal programs. To that extent, in chapters 2 and 3, she discusses "The Uses of Sidewalks”, arguing that over all people need safety and trust in their city. Therefore, first she claims the necessity of keeping streets and sidewalks safe because they are the “vital organs” of cities (29). Secondly, she argues that the functioning of cities should be organized in order to foster human interaction in which “casual public

GENEZON “Reaching for New Horizons” Welcome to Genezon, a city of 650-thousand people located in northwest Italy. We have created a city that not only maximizes safety and provides almost endless amounts of resources, but also a city that keeps in mind the happiness of the everyday citizen. Public space provides a plethora of benefits if used correctly, however, in the increasingly digital society, precise utilization will be key to success. Now in 2138, we have not only developed Genezon to be an independent, safe, and technologically advanced metropolis but also a culture-, society- and person-orientated public space experience.

Emergent public space: Sustaining Chicano culture in North Denver was written by Sig Langegger and was published in 2013. In the article, the author uses Troy Chavez memorial peace garden as to answer his primary questions of how open spaces remain its purpose. Also to show how vacant private

I was dispatched to 345 West Vine Street at approximately 1807. KDPS had received a report from an unidentified caller, who reported that a young female was verbally assaulting multiply individuals. When a arrived at 345 West Vine Street, Michael Rose, Layla Rose, Patrick Powder, and Maria Chips were standing on the porch.

“By removing a lane of traffic, we create a traffic calming and pedestrian friendly downtown,” says Dave Lustberg, CEO of Arterial, LLC., the company engaged by Millburn to design the Complete Streets project. Lustberg acknowledges there will be an initial period of 'strife' as drivers grow accustomed to the new layout, but stresses that studies show that even reducing vehicle speed 5mph from 30 to 25 reduces the chances of fatality in vehicle vs. pedestrian accidents by 35%.

The field observation took place on October 27th in the alleyway of Moravian Street, for 30 minutes starting at 4 o’clock in the afternoon. The sun was still shining and the alleyway of Moravian Street was still brightly lit, throughout the experiment. Weather through the entirety of the day was warm enough for civilians to walkabout with light clothing.

Introduction The purpose of this paper is to highlight how Robert Hammond and Josh David’s visionary idea transformed an unused, abandoned railroad line into a spectacular green space in the sky –New York’s High Line. Hammond and David were locals who believed that tearing down the railroad line was not a

railroad crossing. You should not park closer than 50 feet from a railroad, unless there are signs

Parking system in Main Street and in USA in general is completely different from the one we have in Russia. I saw a parking meter for the first time in my life precisely in Main Street. It has somewhat a complicated organization: it works only at a certain time and you are not charged if park there at a different

Students are forced to park in other places on campus and some choose to disregard the signs posted for reserved parking. This is a bit risky because vehicles parking in violation of university regulations may be towed and impounded. For example, a freshman living in the valleys would get an F parking permit. The only places they can legally park with this are up the hill by the dorms, by the rec. center, and on high levels of a parking structure by the Bernhard Center, which is a popular place for students to eat out at, or buy things at the school store. Each parking lot is restricted to parking for a specific type of permit. Only vehicles displaying the same type of permit may park in that lot. During fall and winter semesters, residence hall lots with the designations A, C, F, K, and Z are restricted 24 hours a day for vehicles displaying the same type of permit. Many students choose to ignore these letters and just park there anyway, taking the risk of being ticketed or possibly toed. Campus police walks around especially at night and tickets every car parked illegally or calls in for a toe truck to help out. Seven different parking lots that may seem convenient when students are looking for a spot are restricted to employee parking 24 hours per day, leaving many students frustrated,

Space that is documented and utilized by humans, whether directly or indirectly, takes on a basic level of social utility and cultural construction. As Elias Canetti would suggest, the prospect of touch carries with it the risk of being taken and subsequently assimilated or digested (1). The predecessors to the first great urban parks in the United States, namely country estates, cemeteries, and town squares or plazas, all contribute some aesthetic and related ideological basis for a newly emerging discourse of urban parks. Parks were seen as the “poor-man’s countryside,” in reference to the country estates of the wealthy. Also, cemeteries were the first naturalistic open spaces consistently built within urban boundaries. The idea of the commons and town square is perhaps the most telling predecessor of the city park.

Public spaces are social spaces where social phenomena happens, different activities leading to different social relations and interactions. Spaces with own rhythms of use and regulations that one can discover or rediscover in different cultural context.10 steven To understand how architecture can activate public spaces through play to make social spaces, spaces for public life, this paper first investigates how architecture defines the nature of a public spaces with the possibility of engaging public into play. Then, the paper discuss how play can engage people to redefine spaces and find something that have in common with others. And finally, how people can obtain their freedom through playing in a space will be explored. To do so, the
