As a student at Miami Dade College, I participated in a cleanup at Women’s Park and spent the afternoon at the park. As I walked around and enjoyed the recreational facilities, such as: a kids playground, swings, and long side walks around the park. As I began to clean up the trash around the park, people walked passed me and just observed as I picked up. No one stopped to ask me what I was doing or bothered to help me clean up. It saddens me to know that people are that careless about such a beautiful park and do not bother to clean up after themselves. Although the park is pretty clean on it self, there are always people leaving trash behind and not appreciating the history of the park itself.
I have been to Women’s Park several times since I enjoy the gentle breeze and the lovely view of nature. In past times, I would come a lot with my partner and spend the afternoon. On our 12 month anniversary, we carved our names on one of the trees, since then, this park has always been very special to me. In addition, when I feel stressed or overwhelmed with school or family problems, I drive to the park and just listen to music and enjoy my love for nature by sitting in the grass. After one or two hours, of being there, I feel distressed and ready to go back to my normal happy life.
This lovely park is well liked by others, everytime I pass by or go it’s always filled with people doing exercise or walking around with their loved ones. Parents also tend to take their kids to the playground and walk them on the strollers. Parties also take place, last year, some Native Americans were dressed up and gathered to celebrate their traditions. Many picnics occur also at the location where families or lovers share a lovely afternoon together.
To me, the “Gates of Love, Courage and Wisdom” mean prosperity, equality and awareness. I am extremely honored that I get to spend the day at the first nations park in honor of all women where it symbolizes their hard work and contributions. As a femenist, these words mean history, bravery, knowledge and equality for all women. Throughout the past centuries, we were not respected and we could never speak our mind. Knowing that we are not alone, and that we had leaders to represent us and fight for our rights brings me pleasure.
Being part of the history of this park, brings me great pleasure. I always wanted to be part of women's history. Now that I have learned about the story behind Women's Park and with everything it comes with, ...

The Minneapolis Bicycle Story David PetersonTrailnet
The Minneapolis Bicycle Story provides a history of bicycle planning and infrastructure development in Minneapolis over several decades. It details how an extensive system of off-street parkways and trails were established beginning in the early 1900s. In the 1970s, the first on-street bike lanes were installed and a system of on-street bike routes was developed downtown in the 1990s. Major opportunities like bridge reconstructions have been leveraged to improve bicycle facilities. Today, Minneapolis has over 85 miles of off-street trails and a growing network of on-street low-stress bikeways through strategies like bike boulevards and protected bike lanes. Coordination between numerous city departments and external organizations has been key to funding and implementing the bicycle network.
This document discusses Indianapolis' policies and plans to promote bicycling and complete streets. It summarizes the city's Bicycle Master Plan from 2012, which was informed by public meetings and a Bicycle Advisory Committee. It also outlines the Complete Streets Policy from 2012 that requires quarterly reporting on metrics like bike lanes built and pedestrian accommodations. A Complete Streets Advisory Committee provides feedback and helps promote walkability and bikeability near schools. The city utilizes these committees, social media, and stakeholder meetings to communicate its message and track progress through standardized monthly, quarterly and GIS-based reports.
The document discusses the benefits of planting trees, including providing shade, improving aesthetics and safety, lowering energy costs and improving air quality.

Neighborhood Greenways are a network of existing low-traffic streets that are repurposed to encourage through bicycle and pedestrian trips. The goals are to keep auto traffic below 1,000 vehicles per day to create a comfortable environment for biking, add traffic calming measures to limit speeds to 20 mph, help people safely cross busy streets, and efficiently connect people to key destinations using residential streets. Common tools used for neighborhood greenways include signs, crosswalk improvements, traffic barriers, and speed bumps. The implementation process involves identifying routes, notifying residents, and holding community meetings to discuss plans and get feedback.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.

Council Member Brad Lander discussed participatory budgeting that has been implemented in New York City's 39th district. Participatory budgeting allows community members to directly decide how to spend part of a public budget through a democratic process. In the first year over 6,000 voters and 250 budget delegates were involved in the district's participatory budgeting process. It identified community project ideas and funding priorities through neighborhood assemblies and delegate meetings. While challenges remain, participatory budgeting has deepened civic engagement and trust in government by giving residents a direct say in budget decisions.

Central West End Story: How a Walkable, Diverse Neighborhood Bounced Back fr...Trailnet
The Central West End neighborhood in St. Louis experienced a period of decline from the 1970s but has since bounced back. It transitioned from a population loss and high vacancy rates to a stable population, low vacancy rates, and increasing housing values. While the neighborhood exhibits characteristics of gentrification like rising incomes and a younger population, it has maintained more racial and economic diversity than typical gentrified neighborhoods. The recovery was driven by private and public investments as well as community organizations focused on livability.
Bus Rapid Transit: Meeting international best practiceTrailnet
The document discusses best practices for Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems based on ITDP's experience working with cities worldwide. It outlines that BRT aims to save passengers time and provide high quality service to attract riders. Key elements of international gold standard BRT corridors include dedicated bus lanes, off-board fare collection, platform-level boarding, frequent service, and beautiful stations. BRT can also stimulate transitoriented development when corridors have developable land, transit-supportive zoning, and financial incentives are provided to developers. The quality of the transit investment is more important than the mode, as seen in the positive impacts of BRT systems in Cleveland and Seattle.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.
