This concept proposes closure of Shortlidge between the parking entrance behind Ritenour and the south entrance to the Eisenhower parking area. This is a very short distance, but an important one in terms of pedestrian safety: in 1997, our master planners clocked 23,000 pedestrian crossings here in an 8-hour period, with 50 near-misses between pedestrians and automobiles. Making this zone "pedestrian first" will significantly enhance pedestrian safety with a small inconvenience for vehicles, which will be diverted one block from Shortlidge to Bigler for full north-south access through campus.
At this point it seems most prudent to maintain this through-traffic closure full-time to maximize pedestrian safety in this zone.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
