Ft Mitchell Underpass Is Too Dirty

Decent Essays
Written Report

Our problem is that the Ft. Mitchell underpass is too dirty. At first we thought about maybe changing the underpass was better than cleaning it. We thought about maybe making a new overpass but decided against it. We decided on our final project once we split groups and then starting doing a little deeper research. The people that will be affected by this are the people that use the underpass every day. This is considered a problem because there were many little kids going under the underpass each day, and it was very dirty. Also it can be dangerous for little kids crossing the street.

The solution that we first considered was creating a overpass. But instead we decided to create a robot that cleans stuff that most vacuum

    In regards to this week’s discussion, I would like to discuss the lapse in preventative measures that were neglected prior to the event in conjunction with the communication failures discussed by Cooper and Block in chapter 7. Before I discuss the lapse in communicating the dire situation to Secretary Chertoff by Brown, one should note issues in planning, communication, leadership, and unsatisfactory camaraderie amongst department heads were identified far in advance. The emergency response to Hurricane Katrina could have been mitigated via the various long-term warnings presented in our early readings. Poor communication only exacerbated the consequences that ensued, as leadership failed to heed advisory reports, warranted consultation, and exercise input. First, Cooper & Block (2006) annotate the issue of the drainage system for the major canals as poorly engineered with a levee system constructed for cost efficiency rather than structural integrity.…

    Prior to the 1980’s and environmental laws and concerns, it was a standard unwritten procedure to dump waste on the ground, rivers, streams and oceans. Unsuitable boxes, containers and storage units for keeping waste were inadequate and often toxic substances were left out unsecured. These practices were happening destructively everywhere in the environment and thousands of contaminated sites were created. Contaminated sites often included warehouses, landfills, processing plants and manufacturing sites. The superfund program in 1980 was imposed by congress to clean up these contaminated sites based upon health concerns of the people, environmental risks and possible ecosystem destruction.…

    As of January first, all employs working within Morgantown city limits will see a three dollar per week fee automatically deducted from their income to pay the new city user service fee. This fee, costing each worker over $150 a year, is designed to pay for upgrades and upkeep to city roads and to finance Morgantown City Police. The city is charging this tax to those who work within city limits as a way to target those who are most likely to use the roads and police. Conservative city estimates project that the user fee will raise $4.5 million annually (“Safe Streets & Safe Community Service Fee Info), but the number is likely much higher when part-time student employees are considered.…

    Once robots are fully working, they are more precise, as well as more efficient. Robots can also manufacture more while decreasing costs. Robots are a great benefit to the workforce, but once they are assigned to a job previously had by a human, where will the humans work? Kelly’s whole theory is that humans will be able to discover who they are with new jobs because robots have taken their previous ones. Kelly believes that letting humans invent new methods for robots to do their old jobs will help everyone discover what it really means to be…

    The historical issue of Hurricane Katrina illustrates another severe environmental catastrophe that Vulcan and Cryos provoked. Their rash actions mixed with their overuse of power resulted in a disaster that affects not only the people involved, but also the environment as a whole. Hurricane Katrina was one of the most costly and deadliest natural disasters in the United States, with winds up to 174 mph. In the article “10 Years After Katrina, The Work Is Not Done Yet”, President Obama speaks out to the public to ensure that the community knows that America has not forgotten what they endured. As he reflects on the damage, he guarantees that their work is not done, and “ there’s still too many people who have yet to find good, affordable housing,…

    Living in Baton Rouge is a daily struggle for me and I'm pretty sure a lot of other people from early morning and especially late afternoon, not because of the humidity and not because of the bad road conditions but Baton Rouge’s awful traffic. Every day for approximately 45 minutes to an hour I have no choice but to deal with the traffic, because I work in WBR and there’s only two ways to enter into EBR from WBR, the New Mississippi Bridge or as I know it the old bridge. It’s becoming one of the most frustrating issues for me and I'm pretty sure the rest of the city. Due to the traffic congestion consequently commuters suffer from this issue, disabling people to get from a to b in an adequate amount of time.…
