CUTBACKS A8 Daily News staff The Newport School Committee set up the community forum on a proposed uni- form code Wednesday night asking par- INSIDE ents opposing uniforms in the elemen- tary and middle schools to speak first today’s news and supporters of the policy to follow. By the end of the night at Thompson Middle School, where more than 50 par- ents gathered for the forum, it was all LOCAL opponents. No one spoke in favor of a mandatory dress code that would require GOOSE EGG HUNT girls to wear khaki or black slacks, skirts volunteer force or skorts with red or white polo shirts beginning in September. Boys would is growing across wear khaki or black slacks and red or county. A3 white polo shirts. The School Committee had approved that code in an initial 6-1 vote last month. SPORTS But by the end of the night on Wednes- day, committee members made it clear that code would not be passed in a sec- ond and final vote. The question was whether any mandatory uniform code would take effect at all. School Committee member Robert J. Leary, the lone opponent on the initial vote, noted that Woonsocket tried this year to require uniforms in public schools. The American Civil Liberties Union opposed the policy, and uniforms now are optional in Woonsocket. If Newport were to require uniforms, the first step would be a hearing at the Jacqueline Marque N Daily News staff photos state Department of Education if any Megan Kelchner, a junior at Tiverton High School, displays her entry in the Doodle-4-Google contest. opponent requested one, Leary said.

  • Loma Prieta Earthquake
    Case Studies of the Access and Mobility Impact of Freeway Removal Principal Investigator Graduate Research Assistant Dr. Norman Garrick Jason Billings University of Connecticut University of Connecticut Civil, U-2037, Storrs, CT 06269 Civil, U-2037, Storrs, CT 06269 [email protected] [email protected] Abstract: Throughout the United States, there is a growing movement to remove selected sections of freeways from city centers. Largely seen as a way to restore life and vitality to these areas, this strategy has the potential for numerous benefits including: 1) eliminating a physical and psychological barrier that divides city neighborhoods, 2) opening up land for redevelopment, 3) removing an aesthetic eyesore that takes away from a city’s character, 4) providing direct access to city businesses by restoring road networks and enhancing traffic circulation patterns. Even though the aforementioned benefits are intriguing by themselves, this concept also has the potential to reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality within these cities. Removing freeways decreases total vehicle miles traveled by promoting walking, biking and mass transit use. Therefore, freeway removal can be seen as another mechanism to contend with the growing environmental issues facing the world. A handful of freeway sections have been removed or relocated from some cities within the United States and abroad. These cities provide a unique opportunity to investigate how such a major undertaking affects access and mobility of all transportation system users. A surprising view that has emerged is that removing these freeway sections has not resulted in traffic disruption as conventional theory would suggest. Instead, it appears that the overall traffic volume in many of these areas has actually decreased.
