  • MMW Letter 120506
    Macy’s Midwest Conversion to Federated Systems January 16, 2007 See most recent change below Dear Vendor, We are entering the final phase of the integration of Federated-May. Macy’s Midwest (MMW), formerly Famous Barr, will convert to Federated systems on February 4, 2007. The conversion includes EDI and the obligation to comply with the Federated Vendor Standards manual, which is available at www.fdsnet.com. Also, as part of this conversion, 22 locations formerly included in Macy’s South (MSO) will move to MMW and MMW has one location realigning to MSO. To help you prepare for this last phase of the integration, we have attached listings of the MMW stores with their new location numbers and their new EDI mailbox IDs. We are requesting that you share this information with the appropriate persons within your organization. Distribution center (DC) listings and ship to addresses have now been added to the store listings. Please make note of the new ship to locations and the DC Alpha Codes. Changes effective February 4, 2007: • Eight locations originally communicated as being serviced by the Bridgeton DC will now be serviced by the Bailey Road DC See attached matrix for store locations impacted and updated DC alpha codes Please keep in mind that each purchase order is your guide as to when, where and how you are to ship that merchandise. Be aware that purchase orders for MMW may now be received from new Federated sender/receiver EDI IDs. MMW may also issue purchase orders from their current May system with ship dates after the February 4, 2007 conversion.

Kathman B.A. University of Cincinnati 1995 Committee: Chair: Dr. Chris Auffrey Advisor: Frank Russell Reader: Tim Bachman ABSTRACT Suburban commercial corridors, also called strips, are facing increased challenges, including vacant or underutilized storefronts, lower quality businesses entering the market, aging buildings and infrastructure, increasing traffic delays, and increased regional competition. The 4.5 mile long commercial corridor along State Route 4 in Fairfield, Ohio is facing many of these same challenges. This report studies the market conditions within the Route 4 corridor, researches other similar corridors, and ultimately makes eight recommendations aimed at improving the vitality and competitive position of Route 4. ii iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Chris Auffrey, Frank Russell and Tim Bachman for serving on my committee. I truly appreciate the guidance and help that you all have given me. I would also like to thank Dr. David Edelman and, especially, Connie Dean for assisting me on the atypical path I have traveled on the past 11 years.

  • North I-25 Eis Commuter Rail Update Appendices May, 2015
    NORTH I-25 EIS COMMUTER RAIL UPDATE APPENDICES MAY, 2015 Appendix A Stakeholder One-on-One Interviews North I‐25 EIS Commuter Rail Update Study Summary of One‐on‐One Stakeholder Meetings August 21 – October 21, 2014 This study is led by the Colorado Department of Transportation and is comprised of updating commuter rail component of the North I‐25 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The goals of this North I‐25 EIS study are to update three items of the commuter rail element in the document. Capital costs will be updated to reflect 2014 dollars and FTA/FRA standard cost categories. The Operational Plan will be updated based on identified changes, compared to prior assumptions/findings, for track, intersections, and right‐of‐way (ROW). A new corridor wide ROW analysis. This study will not be re‐opening the project alternatives and intends on keeping the preferred commuter rail alternative mentioned above. The following are not included in the scope of the study: Create an implementation plan and implementation schedule, Provide travel forecasting, Estimate ridership, Provide a financial analysis, or Hold formal public meetings. New funding sources will be needed to create an implementation plan and a financial plan. During the 2009 EIS, there were many projects that were assumed to be carried through. Some of these projects have been completed, others have been invalidated. Since the completion of the 2009 EIS, the following conditions/assumptions have changed that will affect this current study: The Colorado Rail Relocation Study looked at the possibility of the State of Colorado acquiring the existing BNSF track along U.S.
