In the community I live which reviewing today, I can say the housing available in this area are in demand, some buildings are old but well-kept and maintenance seems to be well provided, there are some old buildings, however, the city has taken into improving the area so this building is demolished to create better looking ones in the areas,however, none of them are converting or consider for future housing. The few architectural development includes a long nice walking bridge behind the Mall and the other ultra-modern architectural building, have been empty for decades and just now seems to be allocated to become a headquarters for Clear Channel. The use and condition of public spaces are …show more content…
I believe better laws should be established and enforce much better for the health safety of others and for people in public places to enjoy more in this beautiful state.
Public transportation is very good in my community, the system works well and provide a wide range other services for, more difficult to reach points in within the community. Is well used by all kinds of people demystifying the thought that public transportation is used only for the poor or low-income person. Orlando is a über city growing in population, the need to expand was visible from the new intercity train called Sun rail in tight link with the transportation system (bus). The transportation system is easy to navigate and the conductors are very helpful if you need to transfer buses for whichever reason they are well knowledgeable about the routes an area the buses served. Lynx, as the buses are called are well kept and maintenance, old buses are retiring to allow the introduction of newer versions. The buses use biodiesel fuel and compressed natural gas Daily services are provided with 75 local routes, starts as early as 3:50 a.m. and the last bus will run

Community safety in my community is taken seriously you can see the Altamonte Police working at all times, their presence is definitely there when you need it. The station is not only located in within the community but also as part of the safety one station located inside the Mall to better serve, safety and response.
The fire ladders are well kept and are always ready to respond, I talk to some of the firefighters in my way to clinically as early as 5:00 am and they seem ready for any call, or situation that they might need to respond with urgency. My community looks in good shape when we look for services, hospitals, transportation, libraries, god schools, day care, hospitals, parks and recreation are well established; however I think there is the lack of resources for our seniors, talking and trying to help my neighbor I was surprised that a simple assistance like Meals on Wheels is not provided in my area and for a senior without assistance to prepare meals or transportation, it seems like a the flaw in the community that needs to be met for a better service to our
Improving transit will reduce commute time and amount of cars on the road. Toronto is ranked 47th worst traffic in the world. This means that Toronto has a real traffic problem. We must improve the system. This means, having better bus routes and more buses, more subway lines. Toronto currently has only 4 subway lines. This is nothing compared to New York with 34 lines. If our transit
Public transportation has come to be something that many people of all backgrounds, ages, and statuses rely on. Without public transportation, it would be very hard for many to get around, especially students. It really is hard to imagine a world without public transportation, however, there once was a time.
In order to correct our economic system’s faults, we must understand that the problem is multifaceted and won’t improve unless addressed as such. This will be rather difficult considering how the U.S’s system is constructed and the range of problems facing us. The problems facing us not only include low wages but inflated prices for higher education, food, necessities, and cars which are technically a luxury but are sometimes needed to obtain and keep a well paying job due to gaps in the public transportation system. Personally, this has affected myself because the private security industry is riddled with jobs/schedules which make taking public transport difficult or sometimes impossible. There are others like myself who then have a more difficult time looking for stable work that’s also accessible on transit.
Lucas County doesn’t have an efficient form of public transportation and is in desperate need of one. In modern America the automobile is a necessary part of life; there is almost no way to get from point A to B without a car. Unfortunately, many people don’t have access to a personal automobile and are left to depend on unreliable, inefficient, public transportation. The most common form of public transportation in Lucas County today is the bus, although on paper busses are viable, in reality they ultimately fall short of what is required of public transportation. Today there are more cars on the road than ever before, subsequently there is more traffic than ever before meaning these busses are subject
“Why Public Transportation Is So Limited in the United States” by Daniel Faris, is an article published on Truth-Out.org, a nonprofit journalism website. Daniel Faris is a graduate from Susquehanna University, where he studied journalism and business, and writes about politics, technology, and progressive music in his free time. His article on public transportation exposes, what he believes to be, some of the major flaws behind the American public transportation system. Throughout this article Faris uses rhetorical appeals to his advantage. Faris’s effectiveness using pathos, logos, and ethos lead to his article having a fairly solid argument with minimal errors.
Imagine casually strutting down the street and you encounter this magical block where the buildings look as if they came out of different eras. That is what I encounter when I ran upon these two buildings located in Balmy Alley. The building on the left had a more rustic feel to it enough to say that you forget for a split second where you are by just taking a quick glance. The old wood steps are something you don't see often anymore. It seems like its wood has seen many rainy days, quite like today, and it is slowly losing its color. Shriveled plants now sit in old wooden planter boxes. All old and coiling around as if they are trying to hang on to dear life. Metal bars make it look less welcoming giving it more of a jail type look. Where I come from these pointy metal bars are put up for protection. Although the defined geometric shapes of the triangles and lace piping make
Stetson. Tonyaa Weathersbee wrote an article in the Florida Times Union titled ‘Mass Transit Is a Crucial Issue for Working People without Cars’ where she says “The mass transportation market—its riders and potential riders—comprises two broad groups, captive riders and choice riders. Captive transit riders must rely on mass transit; they do not have an alternative way to travel for some or all of their trips because an automobile is required but none is available or because they cannot drive or cannot afford an automobile. Choice riders use transit if it provides service superior to that of their principal alternative, usually the automobile. Captive and choice riders have different needs and preferences, and different services can be designed to accommodate them.” The captive riders are the ones that are disadvantaged and thereby lacking in transportation choices and are the ones in Deland that are most in need of an additional bus route. Getting a bus line to run near these neighborhoods is crucial as presently for many the nearest bus stop is a one mile or more walk through an area with a high crime rate. While many of these neighborhoods do have sidewalks, if the weather is inclement or a person gets off the bus after dark, they still must walk one mile, perhaps further from the nearest bus stop, depending upon the location of home. That is not
Imagine you are walking by someone on the streets asking for money, would you help them or walk off and neglect them. I would like to improve Floyd County by helping people that are less fortunate than we are. First topic I will be talking about is what are their daily struggles. Second is what health conditions could they have. Last is how will we be able to help them.
As more renters look for homes in the area, larger homes have been transformed into multiple units. Investors can also find unique properties that rent retail and residential space within the same building. A number of the buildings in the area house a business on the first floor with a residence on the top floor. At these properties, investors can rent out commercial and residential space for a low investment
Each Bus line would be an express bus directly from the location to the Temple Mount and this has a few advantages.
Regional Transportation in New Urbanism includes mass transit that is of easy access to the people that live within the vicinity. The public transportation in New Urbanism is meant to carry large amounts of people at once such as light-rail busses, and subways in order to get them to their destination quickly to minimize the amount of time it takes them to get where they need to go since the commutes are fairly short. This also cuts down on car trips since the busses and subways are within walking distance, and provides people with more time for family and community life, and can even bring low-income workers to suburbs where there are many jobs. In terms of Urban Sprawl, many businesses, shops, and jobs are not within a close distance, and as a result, many have to drive themselves to their destinations. A vast amount of people rely on highways to get to wherever they need to go, and
As shown from the figures, the use of public transit has decreased by more than 6 per cent, while the use of private vehicles has increased by 4 per cent. An interesting fact is that the percentage use of active transportation has increased by 3 per cent, this might be the result of loss of jobs and people no longer need to commute for work. Through the City of Calgary, it shows that there is a correlation between the use of public transportation and job opportunities.
With other vehicles increased these years like high-speed rail, light rail train being popular and more bridges and roads built between cities and countries, people prefer to take other transports to
These trains have a design that is successful and smart as well as safe, the trains have a big enough area and many seats to include more passengers on each train carriage. Passengers will have a train ride that is comfortable and quick, The trains need to be on time due to the passengers needing to be on time to work, school
Imagine being lost in New York City. Where would you go? My first instinct would be to hail a taxi or get on a train or subway and take it somewhere familiar to me. What if you had no money, then what would you do? I don’t know what I would do. You can’t take public transportation without money, but you should be able to. Even if you weren’t lost, and you had somewhere to go, what would you do? So many people are unable to afford public transportation, that they are just not able to get around, and get to where they need to go, like to work or to an event. If public transportation were to be made free, people who can't afford a train ticket would now be able to get around. Moreover, despite the obvious benefits, there would be no more crazy city car traffic. This would help to conserve the environment, and to create a safer and healthier environment. Therefore, public transportation should in fact be made free in the United States.
