Kiddieland ECE Case Study

Decent Essays
As you are well aware, the traffic on Cicero Avenue has become increasingly congested due to the construction to replace antiquated water mains in our community. Kiddieland ECE has been notified that we may be directly affected by this construction as the City’s Department of Water Management and an independent construction company replaces the water main on Cicero between Irving Park Road and Addison Street.

We have been in contact with the construction company who has advised us that our water will most likely be shut off for an indefinite amount of hours one day within the next 3-4 weeks. If this is the case, they have promised to provide notification of at least 72 hours prior to this happening. Kiddieland has registered with BuildingANewChicago.org

    The public, local elected officials, Michigan’s Department of Environmental Equality, and the Environmental Protection Agency were not involved in the project.

Third, the government was not open and honest with the people as it carried out this project. Fourth, the government failed to attempt to improve the economy in Flint. The struggling economy was the primary reason the water source was being changed, as officials were attempting to save money.…

    Etowah’s revitalization and development initiative began as a result of various occurrences. First, Louisville & Nashville Railroad Co. (L&N), the reason Etowah was created, decided to pull up its stakes in 1974 and leave Etowah (Lambe, 2008, p. 55). This move by L&N resulted in the closure of many railroad jobs, leaving many men to find work elsewhere. This is when Etowah made the decision to bring the manufacturing industries into town, which would ultimately create more jobs for residents. Apparel and textile industries in Etowah would be successful for a while until Etowah’s largest manufacturing employer, Beaunit Fibers, left town leaving 1,000 local residents without jobs (Lambe, 2008, p. 55).…

    I visited Downtown Yonge on Friday, November 6th, 2015 approximately between 4:00PM – 6:00PM. During my visit, I noticed the area was heavily congested on the sidewalks and arterial roads.

Sequentially, the traffic had significantly increased in the opposite direction towards Richmond Street. As commuters leave the downtown core, it is assumed they were going towards Union station or the highway acting as paths to head home in the inner and outer suburbs.…

    As most of America is aware of by now, there is a grave injustice happening in Flint, Michigan. The city’s drinking water is heavily contaminated with lead and has been since 2014. The problem began when the city of Flint switched to using the Flint River as a source of drinking water. A month after the switch was made, residents began to “complain about the smell and color of the new water, which [was] 70 percent harder than its previous water source” (Kennedy, 2016).
