West Station And Bike Lanes : A Project Analysis

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

In the midst of corruption sits a Great Bridge towering over the landscape as millions of people commute over it, clueless of how deep the crime beneath it runs. In the midst of immigrants sits a bridge that connects one economic powerhouse to another with the ideas and dreams of a German-born immigrant that never got to see his dream completed. In the midst of the mighty East River stands the East River Bridge as a towering monument of mans' ability to make even nature bend toward its iron-like will. In the midst of all this stands the Brooklyn Bridge in all of its glory as the pinnacle of industrial and engineering mastery of that time period and as a testament to the lives of the people that lived through a time of intense corruption, new

Dueling social media groups have sprung up on either side of the debate. A small group of residents opposed to the project gathered Friday on Main Street to protest filming of a video aimed to promote the project, which was canceled due to permitting issues. “The township committee is singularly unresponsive,” said protest organizer Sarit Catz, "The last election the people who were responsible for bringing Complete Streets on board were voted out. It was a very clear statement by

A city known for its progressive nature, efficient management and community participation, Tigard, Oregon is only a few miles from downtown Portland. The city government maintains an “open door” policy and encourage residents of Tigard’s 13 geographic areas to participate through their representative Neighborhood Network. The people of Tigard are accustomed to having a say and being treated as individuals with their own opinions. Here at Minuteman Press, we remind our clients that without the use of variable data printing in Tigard their mass mail distribution would be bland and impersonal and consequently ineffectual.

Beginning this afternoon, Wednesday, November 22nd, Veterans Memorial Parkway will be open to traffic between Utica Ridge Rd and Elmore Ave.

deliberately focus on developing our skills, then the results will come if we put in the time. It is really at its core, just producing a volume of work in order for us to get the failures out of the way on to extricating the gems.

The city itself serves “as a transportation hub for the entire Central New York region.” (Syracuse Comprehensive Plan 2040, pg. 19). The funding for the transportation projects were available as well. Overall, the plan had the requirements and the details provided. Due to the plan being of a huge impact on the city and all the requirements connected, there are many departments that are involved in this process. This requires the collaboration and support of all the departments

They generate public pressure by producing advertisements in magazines and newspapers, mass mailings, and TV, and demonstrations. The Internet make communication even more effective. The intent of this activity is to convince policymakers that the public supports the group's position in a proposed legislation (Schmidt, S., et al., 2011, p.152).

The issue of the LRT has been an ongoing one for some time and it has caused major disagreements amongst the mayor and her council members. She seems not to be getting the support that she’d like to

Within the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex lies a plan with the intention to address stakeholder concerns and identities. During the review of this local plan, it was noted there were many stakeholders who were identified as internal and external. This paper sought out to validate that all stakeholders were represented in this plan. The plan included the participation of a regional agreement between 22 municipalities, numerous external stakeholders such as volunteer organizations, Universities, state agencies, and regulatory bodies who all appeared to be valid stakeholders. However, one remained unidentified as the Regional Texas Railroad Commission. Through further explanation this sole stakeholder was shown to be crucial and absent from an

Thank you for your inquiry yesterday. It was a pleasure speaking with you. As discussed, the I-75 Express Lanes Project is a 15 miles long project that begins from NW 170 Street in Miami-Dade County and extends to I-595 in Broward County. The project, which began in early 2014, consists of four segments (please see attached) an is expected to be completed in mid 2019. The overall project will include the following construction improvements:

Thank you again for your inquiry. The current westbound roadway configuration is exactly what was prior to construction - the left lane gives motorists the option to get on the SB I-75 ramp lanes or continue westbound. The problem you are referring to is not because of the current roadway configuration. We studied the issue over the past few days and noticed that the reason for the minor backup in the westbound direction, in the vicinity east of the Miramar Bridge, is because the Miramar EB traffic from Dykes Rd to get on the SB I-75 ramp backs up due to the heavy volume of traffic. So a percent of the traffic goes eastbound and makes a U-Turn at the entrance to the NB I-75 ramp and heads west to capture the dual

Much of the incentive to become an activist is to be a part of a movement; an integral cog in the changing of history. One indisputable benefit of social media is its ability to effectively inform millions of people at once; this is infinitely powerful. The interactive format of social networking invites individuals to educate themselves on an issue and then to contribute to it, all in under ten minutes. Despite its efficiency, the detriment of this system is that it perpetuates the idea that the signing of a change.org petition is all it takes to make a difference. Grassroots activism and petitioning, while absolutely fundamental parts of the pursuit of social justice are often only the inciting steps in the lengthy and usually complicated process of creating lasting change. In 2014, in the wake of the deaths of Michael Brown, Eric Garner, and Tamir Rice, to name just a few, an international movement protesting police brutality began with the hashtag #blacklivesmatter. The issue of racially induced police brutality became a relevant topic of debate in the presidential election that followed, and protests took place worldwide. This movement is winning a major battle in the war against racism and much of this success was owed to its sensational presence on social media. The Black Lives Matter movement is an example of social networking being an invaluable tool in spreading

ReThink NYC proposes that in order to address the congestion at Penn Station, transit officials should look into the problem with the rail systems throughout the Manhattan area. Pennsylvania Station handles three segmented railways: the New Jersey Transit and the Long Island Rail Road commuter services, and Amtrak’s intercity services. Since the station is considered as a terminus for the commuter trains, they have two options; they can either continue either further west to the West Side Yard for the LIRR or east to the Sunnyside Yard for NJ Transit for storage purposes, or both agencies’ trains would have to drop off its passengers, load up another load of passengers, and leave the station in the same direction that they just came from.

The proposed Southwest Light Rail Extension presents a variety of problems. The plan is costly; it creates a dangerous mixture of light rail, freight, and pedestrian traffic in critical corridors; and it does not serve enough riders. However, there is an even bigger issue. The City of Minneapolis is not serving the public interest with the proposed line. Defining how one should act for the public interest is a difficult task. For the purpose of this memo, I will define acting in Minneapolis’ public interest as: an evaluative process that seeks to improve the quality of life of the majority of Minneapolis residents in the immediate and long-term, while taking corrective
