Transportation On our poster we have our own individual maps representing the different things we have researched. One group of people focused on bus routes and proposed new routes they thought would best serve the public. Another set of people focused on where the worst intersections are in the city and different ways they could make the intersections better. Also we worked on how frequently buses run their routes and by looking at our maps you can see which might need improvement. All of our topics relate to each other because they all have to do with transportation and what we think we could do to improve the transportation within our city and our state.
Eudys– Where do trolleys best fit? Based on population without access to cars, and street widths. map Magdalena – Propose changes to Broad St bus to facilitate better service to students and better afterschool traffic flow around Central/Classical HS. map Shetia – Propose new Potters Ave bus route to improve transportation access for Feinstein students and general public, connecting neighborhoods of the South Side and West End. map Stephanie - How much crime occurs around bus route #11? map Steven A. – How do bus routes affect trees? map Final / Map Ideas: Alter the bus schedules in terms of frequency and stops. Consider the frequent riders and destinations (for example, people without access to cars travelling to school, work, and shopping). Make a map of major bus routes frequency and usage. Propose bicycle routes. Consider street widths, where people ride bicycles, and census data on how people commute to work. Propose roads suitable for trolley service. Justify using street widths, potential ridership, and historic transit lines. Look at the worst intersections for accidents and make recommendations for traffic calming. Evaluate the effectiveness of existing traffic calming apparatus (street trees and planters, on-street parking, speed bumps, medians, and traffic circles). Census Data
