  • 4-3. Oregon Climate Lab Exercise
    7.1 FYS207 WOU Earth Corps OREGON CLIMATE LAB Introduction Climate is the measure and description of average weather conditions for a place on Earth’s surface over time. Earth’s climate system is very complex. The atmosphere, hydrosphere (mostly oceans), lithosphere, cryosphere (ice), and biosphere all contribute to Earth’s climate. Understanding how all of these subsystems work is what helps scientists determine how subsystems respond to change. Oregon is a diverse place with regards to climate. The purpose of this lab is study the climate of Oregon and to focus on the major influences on Oregon’s varied climate. Goals and Objectives • Interpret climatic data from maps, tables, and graphs • Describe Oregon’s climate based on climatic data • Develop an understanding of the major factors influencing Oregon’s climate Useful Websites • http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/OR_cc_us.html • http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/CLIMATEDATA.html • http://www.oregonphotos.com/pagetwentyone-Q.html • http://www.worldbook.com/wb/Students?content_spotlight/ climates/north_american_climate_oregon • http://www.musc.edu/cando/geocam/atacama/atacama.html • http://www.esa.int/esaEO/SEM3PIWJD1E_index_0.html • http://www.wou.edu/las/physci/taylor/gs106/OregonRoadTrip.htm 7.2 Name________________________ Lab Day/Time_________________ Pre-lab Questions – Complete these questions working on lab. 1.

    RECONNECTING MINNESOTA THE CASE FOR AN INTERCITY PASSENGER RAIL SYSTEM Conrad deFiebre Mick Conlan Transportation Fellow Graduate Research Fellow October 2008 Table of Contents___ Key Findings & Recommendations 2 Introduction 3 The Benefits of Fast Intercity Rail 5 Minnesota Scene 7 Northern Lights Express 7 High-Speed Rail to Chicago 8 Little Crow 10 I-35 Corridor 11 Southeast Express 11 Other Routes 12 Funding Prospects 13 Reference List 14 1 Reconnecting Minnesota Key Findings & Recommendations_____ Key Findings • Modern, high-speed passenger rail service, long a transportation staple in Europe and Asia, is about to blossom in the United States, with important implications for Minnesota. A new federal study documents rail’s benefits of safety, energy conservation, highway congestion relief, environmental protection, economic development, emergency preparedness, mobility for the aging and global competitiveness. • Congress has approved by veto-proof bipartisan majorities $13 billion over five years for passenger rail initiatives. A planned high-speed route from Minneapolis to Duluth could be among the first in line for some of that money. A St. Paul-Chicago connection is also a strong contender. Local and multistate planning and engineering for both are well underway. • Together, these two projects would bring Minnesota more than 15,000 jobs, $648 million in added personal income, nearly $2 billion in enhanced property values and at least $1.2 billion to $2.3 billion in savings from reduced travel times, congestion and pollution. • Minnesota’s costs for these projects – a total of between $700 million and $750 million, according to the latest estimates – would be reduced to no more than $150 million in general obligation bonding with the help of 80 percent federal funding approved by Congress.

    Maricopa County Department of Transportation MAJOR STREETS AND ROUTES PLAN Policy Document and Street Classification Atlas Adopted April 18, 2001 Revised September 2004 Revised June 2011 Preface to 2011 Revision This version of the Major Streets and Routes Plan (MSRP) revises the original plan and the 2004 revisions. Looking ahead to pending updates to the classification systems of towns and cities in Maricopa County, the original MSRP stipulated a periodic review and modification of the street functional classification portion of the plan. This revision incorporates the following changes: (1) as anticipated, many of the communities in the County have updated either their general or transportation plans in the time since the adoption of the first MSRP; (2) a new roadway classification, the Arizona Parkway, has been added to the Maricopa County street classification system and the expressway classification has been removed; and (3) a series of regional framework studies have been conducted by the Maricopa Association of Governments to establish comprehensive roadway networks in parts of the West Valley.

  • Chapter 7: Transportation Mode Choice, Safety & Connections
    Chapter 7: Transportation Mode Choice, Safety & Connections Comprehensive Plan 2040 7-2 TRANSPORTATION City of Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan 2040 INTRODUCTION The purpose of the Transportation Chapter is to guide development, maintenance, and improvement of the community’s transportation network. This Chapter incorporates and addresses the City’s future transportation needs based on the planned future land uses, development areas, housing, parks and trail systems. The City’s transportation network is comprised of several systems including roadways, transit services, trails, railroads and aviation that all work together to move people and goods throughout, and within, the City. This Chapter identifies the existing and proposed transportation system, examines potential deficiencies, and sets investment priorities. The following Chapter plans for an integrated transportation system that addresses each of the following topics in separate sections: • Roadway System 7-1 • Transit Facilities • Bikway & Trail System • Freight & Rail • Aviation The last section of this Chapter provides a summary and implementation section which addresses each of the components of the system, if any additional action within this planning period is expected. The Implementation Plan sets the groundwork for investment and improvements to the transportation network consistent with the goals, analyses, and conclusions of this Plan. As discussed in preceding Chapters of this Comprehensive Plan, the Transportation Chapter is intended to be dynamic and responsive to the City’s planned land uses and development patterns. As the City’s conditions change and improvements occur, this Chapter should be reviewed for consistency with the Plan to ensure that the transportation systems support the City’s ultimate vision for the community through this planning period.
