Eppse Residence Hall Case Study
There is a huge problem presenting itself on Tennessee State University’s campus; that being the horrible driving conditions on campus. More frequently than not, the road conditions on college campuses are overlooked. I believe we have a problem with this particularly behind Eppse residence hall. I believe the that there should be more signage on campus to help with this frustrating issue. By making these changes, we are putting the safety of the students back into the forefront of what

Although this may be minuscule on a bigger scale, the roading on our campus is key for everyday commuting. This is something we should worry about, because our students should feel as if their money is going to better resources. Some of the solutions that we can offer are better patch work on the roads, implementing more signage on campus. However, these changes will need appropriate funding.

A major liability for this project would be how this is going to be funded. I believe students and faculty can work together to complete this task. I believe that the benefits of this project outweigh the financial obligation that this project may bring. By constant fundraising and donations, this can be effortlessly.

    Western Boulevard is a major roadway that bisects NC State’s Main and Centennial Campus as well as serves as a main gateway into the center of downtown Raleigh. Pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular volumes are steadily rising each year and are expected to continue this trend as the university and city, are constantly developing and growing. The investigated section of Western Blvd has on average 30,000 vehicles per day and hundreds of students crossing at various locations throughout the corridor. The main area of concern is the intersection of Avent Ferry road and Western Blvd (shown in figure 1), which produces many safety concerns for students. The large amount of pedestrian traffic is a product of students walking to class from…

    Any growing city is always needing new improvements, as is the City Mountain Brook. For starters, I believe that the city should invest in railing alongside Cherokee and Overbrook Road to increase driver’s safety. The reason behind the railing alongside those roads is because they are beside steep hills and cliffs and if a car happens to run off the road it would fall off a cliff. That almost happened to some fellow peers of mine who were in a car crash over winter break. Luckily they didn’t go flying down the cliff because a tree had stopped them, but what if the tree wasn’t there? I wonder what would have happened but it probably wouldn’t have been good. Other than investing in railing on Cherokee and Overbrook road, I would like to suggest the purchase of new classroom furniture in the high school. As growing children, we need to treat our bodies right, and by having comfortable classroom furniture, we will be on the right track. Having comfortable classroom furniture will give every student, regardless of shape or size, the chance to fit in their seat comfortably during class. Not only will the new furniture be more comfortable and appealing to us students’ backs, but I believe it will create a more welcoming learning environment with a fresh, clean, modern and relaxing feel to it. I believe we should hold a campaign to raise money in order to buy new and improved classroom…

    In America, transportation is an important part of our life but what's more important is the road. Have you ever wondered how it all started and the significance of the road. The roads improved our economically drastically by providing jobs, profit, and expanding our economy. Politically it helped citizens in many ways, protection and security, military purposes, and it improved technology. There were some issues that were brought up, environmental issues where the roads destroyed trees and landscape and that some of the roads destroyed or went through other people’s property. Socially, it provided communication and easy travel, connecting family and friends with one another. The Interstate Highway Act is an important part of American history…

    The advancement of infrastructure can make roads safer and more efficient for traffic. This can also save many lives in the future. We’ve lost a total of 33,561 lives due to dangerous roads. 33,561 lives that could have been saved with the enhancement of roads. We are currently losing $124 billion dollars a year due to traffic congestion. (Guerini) You would think Americans are the only ones paying the price and time for traffic congestion, but the environment does also. Congestion in urban areas have caused the purchase of an 2.9 billion dollars in fuel, leading to 56 billions pounds of unnecessary carbon dioxide to enter earth’s atmosphere. (Werbach) We’d be saving our planet with the improvement of our roads! The preservation of these roads can save much hassle in the future. Billions of dollars and so much hassle can be saved. Everyone is tired of road construction and having to be rerouted to avoid this construction of a building, bridge, or road. The average American spends an average of 38 hours per year in traffic. (Werbach) Construction of infrastructure needs to improve. America is long overdue for a renewal of roads, bridges, dams, and buildings. As mentioned in an article by Ethan Huff on naturalnews.com, 6,000 dams are considered to be at fault, which…

    Essay on St. Louis

    • 632 Words
    • 3 Pages

    One way for the administration of St. Louis to improve the students’ lives is through the creation of free, on campus parking. Early mornings are tough enough on students and finding a parking spot during early-morning-rush-hour shouldn’t be the hassle that it is. Currently, students who drive have four options; to park on campus and risk the parking ticket expense, or to park on the surrounding streets and move their car every two hours to avoid a parking ticket, or to pay to park in neighbouring streets’ parking garages, or to park in the neighbouring establishments’ lots, thus risking a parking ticket and enduring a long walk back to St. Louis. It can be determined that none of these four parking methods are cost or time efficient, because all four methods could leave you with a parking ticket or parking expense, and three of the four methods of parking require a ten to fifteen minute walk back to St. Louis campus. If the administration of St. Louis creates free, on campus parking, both students and faculty can enjoy less traffic congestion surrounding the school and a less stressful, costly, and time consuming decision of where to park.…

    Distracted Driving

    • 1239 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Cellular devices have become a natural part of everyday life. People wake up check their texts, emails, Facebook, twitter and even the weather with the touch of a button. New generation smartphones are now constantly glued to every hand or head that passes by. The result of this obsession is the ongoing issue of distracted driving. This issue started when drivers would get constant phone calls while on the road causing them to lose focus on their surroundings. Now texting, emailing, messaging and status updating has added a new concern to the issue. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported in 2008, driver distraction was the cause of 16 percent of all fatal crashes resulting in 5,800 deaths and 21 percent of all crashes resulting in an injury causing 515,000 wounded people. (Brian 2).Distracted driving has become a huge issue not only nationwide but specifically in Knoxville, Tennessee alone. Motor vehicle accidents and deaths have been increasing in the city over the years as cell phones have become more popular. Personally, I believe distracted driving is wrong. Staying focused on the road at all times is a sure way to save thousands of lives now and in the future. There need to be stricter penalties to support the laws that are currently in place.…
