Team 1765 Final Presentation for the Green Mobility ChallengeMobilityAuthority
1) The proposed design for the Manchaca Expressway aims to seamlessly integrate the transportation facility into the natural environment through techniques like bioswales and wildlife habitat preservation and restoration.
2) Key elements of the design include shifting from conventional stormwater management to "Regenerative Hydrologic Recycling" using native plantings, reconnecting people with nature through multi-use paths, and minimizing long-term maintenance costs through sustainable design approaches.
3) Notable design features address specific environmental sensitivities like eliminating piers in Bear Creek and preventing surface runoff into Flint Ridge Cave by covering the roadway with an elevated multi-use path and deck.
This document provides an overview of curating content on the topic of poverty. It outlines the difference between content aggregation and curation. It then lists several main topics related to poverty that will be curated: common causes of hunger; political causes; signs and symptoms; wealth inequality; hunger prevention; and general poverty. The overall goals of the curation project are to provide education and a central hub of information on these key poverty-related issues. The document discusses challenges such as organization and limiting topics while finding credible sources.

The Oak Hill Expressway project proposes a more sustainable and community-focused approach to transportation infrastructure. Key elements include expanding the right of way, relocating the Capital Metro park and ride, and relocating the Old Rock Store to incorporate low impact development techniques like biofilters, permeable pavement, and vegetated swales to treat stormwater. The project also aims to restore Williamson Creek, plant over 1,000 new trees, and incorporate a green wall to reduce noise and air pollution while enhancing community identity. This approach aims to improve traffic flow, connect the community, and add economic value in a more cost effective and environmentally friendly manner.

Klotz Associates Final Presentation for the Green Mobility ChallengeMobilityAuthority
The document presents a plan called the Living Parkway, an alternative design for the Manchaca Expressway in Austin. The Living Parkway is designed to contribute to the natural landscape by utilizing stormwater systems like biofilters, permeable pavement, and vegetated swales that filter pollutants and allow water to permeate. These systems would replace traditional stormwater pipes and ponds. The plan also includes designs for a living bridge over Bear Creek that uses modular construction and impacts the floodplain minimally. It estimates the costs of both a traditional design and the Living Parkway design.
Hillway Final Presentation for the Green Mobility ChallengeMobilityAuthority
The document proposes a plan called The Oak Hillway to recreate the Oak Hill community in three ways:
1) By maximizing connectivity through gateways, multi-use trails, and a new parkway to reconnect different areas of the community.
2) By restoring Williamson Creek and creating new open spaces.
3) By rallying public support for the plan.

The document proposes several strategies to improve transportation along a corridor, including reversible lanes to add capacity without construction, innovative intersection designs, improved access for bikes and pedestrians, sound absorbing walls, using overpasses and bridges as a canvas for local art, solar powered toll collection, pervious pavements, LED street lights, and using locally sourced materials. The strategies aim to minimize disturbances, improve mobility and access, encourage alternative transportation, beautify the area, and reduce environmental impacts.
This document discusses arguments for and against the death penalty, including discrimination in application, the risk of executing innocent people, high costs compared to life imprisonment without parole, lack of evidence it deters crime more than other punishments, and the cruelty of the practice. It also notes proposals to limit appeals, compare actual costs to projected savings, and weigh costs against the value of human life.
On December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japanese naval and air forces, drawing the United States into World War II. Prior to this, the US had pursued an isolationist foreign policy in the 1920s-1930s. During the war, over 100,000 Americans died in Europe and Japanese prisoners endured the brutal Bataan Death March, while German U-boats began targeting American ships in late 1941.
