Can you please defer discussing the issue to the next committee meeting that will be held on Feb.Mea^. 22,2017? The reason why, as few residents of the crescent and I discussed your letter that we received on the evening of Friday January 20 , 2017, we agreed on submitting a letter explaining our concern and also we suggested to conduct a survey gathering the say of all residents on the preferred options. So far we managed to get 9 responses, we still need more time to complete the survey. I attached the letter (first page) and the survey (second page) with the responses I got so far, I hope it will be completed by March' 22, 2017. Feb I also attached 2 pictures of one comer showing that the parking on the inner side blocks the view of the whole street and prohibiting the parking around the comer only is not sufficient. Every time we drive around the corner as the width and the angle of the street is very narrow, drivers have to be very careful of the coming cars, bikes or kids , this difficulty is a daily experience and prohibiting the parking on the outer side will make it worse. Regards, Husam Ibrahim Resident- Zanzibar Cres, Anna Ciacelli January 20, 2017 Supen/isor of Council Services/ RE; Zanzlbar Crescent Proposed Parking Changes. Dear Ms. CJacelii/ This letter is in response to your letter no. ST2017/ regarding Zanzibar Crescent Proposed Parking Changes. We understand that enforcing the no parking on outer circle reduces the cost and complexity of installing the required signage for city. However, it is not understandable why tt is not viable option to have the street parking on outer circle instead of inner circle as stated in our previous petition. In our previous letter we had shared our concern on safety as it is observed parking of vehicles on inner circle blocks the view of drivers, pedestrians and kids on bikes around the two curves of the crescents and becomes dangerous spot even of your proposal of prohibiting parking in the corner as It still clears a small view of both curves. We are hopeful that administration wil! consider this concern of residents while making the decision other than the cost factor and getting 2 more spaces. It is to be noted that many of the crescents in our neighborhood no paring is enforced on inner circle of crescents/for example on Manzanillo Cres. and that is very safe option for the residents, It has been noticed by residents that the available clear width with parking on one side <s not sufficient to for two mid sizes cars. For example/ two passenger vans or even one mid sized car and one small sedan can not pass along a parked car. The situation become much worse during the winters due to snow around the parked vehicles. Many residents prefer to have No Parking on either side, if that is the option. This option was not opted in earlier letter Nov. 23, 2016, because your letter dated November 7/2016 did not discuss that option. We hope that our concern will be heard and proper action will be taken on this <ssue. Please CC to concerned departments. Yours Sincerely, Residents of ZanzibarCres.

INFORMATION To the Members of the Environment, Transportation and Public Safety Standing Committee Re: report #0220/2016 Dear Members of the Standing Committee, The Windsor Parade Corporation was approached by the City of Windsor approximately thirteen years ago to produce a Festival that would fill the void left behind by the demise of the International Freedom Festival. The Festival was rebranded in 2004 and named Summer Fest by the River and became a production of the Windsor Parade Corporation. Every year since 2004 we have produced the Festival along the waterfront in downtown Windsor. One of our key partners is World's Finest Shows. They also had been a key partner of the International Freedom Festival. Mr. Jamieson and his Show have been part of the downtown landscape for over forty years. Our Festival along with World's Finest Shows usually runs from the middle of June until after the Canada Day celebrations. This event has become part of the fabric of Windsor and Essex County and is truly supported by the residents of the area. We are by far the largest contributor of revenue for the Festival Plaza since we rent space over a fifteen to twenty day consecutive period of time.

Ecosphere 7(4):e01345. 10.1002/ecs2.1345 Abstract. Roads, while central to the function of human society, create barriers to animal movement through collisions and habitat fragmentation. Barriers to animal movement affect the evolution and tra- jectory of populations. Investigators have attempted to use traffic volume, the number of vehicles passing a point on a road segment, to predict effects to wildlife populations approximately linearly and along taxonomic lines; however, taxonomic groupings cannot provide sound predictions because closely related species often respond differently. We assess the role of wildlife behavioral responses to traffic volume as a tool to predict barrier effects from vehicle-caused mortality and avoidance, to provide an early warning system that recognizes traffic volume as a trigger for mitigation, and to better interpret roadkill data. We propose four categories of behavioral response based on the perceived danger to traffic: Nonresponders, Pausers, Speeders, and Avoiders.

  • Effective Wildlife Roadkill Mitigation
    Journal of Traffic and Transportation Engineering 3 (2015) 42-51 doi: 10.17265/2328-2142/2015.01.005 D DAVID PUBLISHING Effective Wildlife Roadkill Mitigation Dion Lester Pitt&Sherry, Hobart 7000, Australia Abstract: The effects of wildlife roadkill on native animal populations can be significant and the cost to people of wildlife collisions, through road crash injuries and vehicle damage, can be also significant. An understanding of roadkill causes and patterns is necessary for successful management intervention. How animals perceive, use and cross roads can vary significantly from road to road and also between different sections of the same road. This study sought to better understand the features of roadkill and successful mitigation options for a 93 km section of road in Tasmania’s northwest. A program of baseline monitoring, analysis and trial sites informed the development of a risk based strategy for mitigating roadkill. The trial mitigation sites experienced a 50% reduction in roadkill compared with the levels prior to implementation of the trials. A number of simple, low maintenance and cost effective mitigation measures were established and offer road managers elsewhere additional options for reducing roadkill on their roads. Key words: Roadkill, mitigation, wildlife, environmental management, roads, adaptive management. 1. Introduction animals [4]. In a study in 2000 of National Transport Agency data, Attewell and Glase [5] found that, from This article describes an adaptive management 1990-1997, there were 94 fatalities and 1,392 approach taken to mitigate wildlife roadkill on the hospitalisations from crashes involving animals within proposed Tarkine Forest Drive project in northwest Australia.

  • SR 68 Scenic Highway Plan
    2019 ITE Western District Annual Meeting: SR 68 Scenic Highway Plan SR 68 Scenic Highway Plan Jim Damkowitch, GHD, Grant Leonard, City of Monterey, Rich Deal, Transportation Agency for Monterey County The SR 68 Scenic Highway Plan is a precedent setting corridor plan that integrates multimodal transportation planning with wildlife connectivity planning and a robust public outreach strategy. When implemented, the plan will result in the first Roundabout Corridor on a state highway in California, provide wildlife crossing structures and an enhanced sense of character for the community while reducing delay and GHG emissions. The SR 68 corridor serves several very important functions. The only direct route between Salinas and Monterey, it is a critical transportation lifeline for many residents and businesses along and on either end of the route. It is one of the few east-west connections in the region providing access to US 101, the Monterey Regional Airport, the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, and the Fort Ord National Monument. It is one of the first designated scenic corridors in California, with iconic value to Monterey County, its residents, and visitors. However, traffic during peak commute periods, special events, or when corridor capacity is reduced by a collision, construction activity, or weather events has become severely congested and less reliable. This has degraded the quality of life for those who rely on the corridor for job access, commerce, airport access and recreational access. As an example, the MST, the principal transit provider for the area, severely reduced transit service on SR 68 due to its inability to adhere to schedule performance.

  • Roadkill Carcass Composting
    ROADKILL CARCASS COMPOSTING Guidance Manual November 2007 Starting a Road Kill Compost Facility Before any composting project can begin, MDT must obtain a license from the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Solid Waste Program. Roadkill Compost Operations are considered to be a Small Composter Waste Management Facility. Currently, there is no fee required to compost road kill. DEQ will maintain a database of our composting facilities to track their progress and to answer questions from MDT and the general public. The licensing process requires a 30 day public comment period after the Environmental Assessment (EA) is completed. The license application and the list of neighbors should be complete to expedite the process. Licensing questions can be directed to the Hazardous Waste Section of MDT’s Environmental Services Bureau (Cora Helm, 406-444-7659, Pat Driscoll 406-444-7223). License application forms are available online from the DEQ website at: http://www.deq.mt.gov/SolidWaste/newapplications/compost.pdf. Supervisors and staff considering undertaking this process should visit another MDT facility that is composting road kill to see if it is right for their area of operations and to gain tips on proper facility operations. Coordination with DEQ is essential for the success of these projects. DEQ also has the authority and responsibility to inspect all waste management facilities in Montana, so expect visits (inspections) from the Solid Waste Program of DEQ. DEQ can also be called upon for license application assistance or help with operational problems. This Guidance Document may be referenced in the license application as the general plan of operations required by the DEQ, but does not have to be submitted to the DEQ as part of the license application since they already have the document.

  • Community Engagement Summary
    COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SUMMARY SURVEY INTRO An Online Survey that consisted of survey questions and an interactive map was available for a 60 day period between June 30, 2020 and July 30, 2020. 550 participants shared their insights on general corridor needs as well as on location or category specific concerns. The survey was posted on the City website. Links to the survey were distributed via postcards mailed to residents and businesses along the corridor, printed flyers were placed at key locations along the corridor. In addition to printing notices for the survey, E-newsletters (The Stack and Leaflet), HOAs newsletters and various City Social Media Outlets 2 HAYWARD, CALIFORNIA CHAPTERONLINE SURVEY 1 · INVENTORY SUMMARY Online Pinnable Map with Comments SURVEY SUMMARY The majority of survey comments come from residents along the corridor and/or users that travel it regularly. Participants primarily experience the corridor by driving or walking. The first priority for overall improvement for the corridor is safer and more comfortable sidewalks. The next priorities for the corridor are reducing auto congestion and speeds. The highest ranking for the top 3 combined priorities are better landscaping, improving the pedestrian experience and traffic calming measures. For the write in comments, some emerging trends were in the following areas: • High Speeds in Multiple Locations • Participants shared there is often roadkill • High speeds for vehicle traveling downhill • High Speeds makes U-Turns and Left hand turns challenging at spots.(Spencer,

This Report This report provides an overview of wildlife-vehicle conflict (WVC) hotspots on California highways, based on carcass observations in the California Roadkill Observation System (http://wildlifecrossing.net/California). Analytical details are available from the report author upon request. A subsequent report will focus on WVC hotspots from the point of view of crash and other incident data collected by state safety agencies. Photo acknowledgements Mule deer, black bear, river otter – Fraser Shilling Broad-footed mole – Kathryn Harrold Data collection acknowledgements This report and the analyses contained within would not have been possible without the concerted and coordinated efforts of hundreds of volunteer roadkill observers over the last 7 years. Through their endeavors, they have collected >50,000 observations of >410 species, representing one of the largest and most comprehensive wildlife monitoring programs in California. Their accuracy rates for species identification are >93% and have measurably high locational accuracy (<+100 meters). Special thanks to Dr. David Waetjen who developed the California Roadkill Observation System with me in his spare time, putting in hundreds of hours of programming and his own roadkill observations.

  • Division of Wildlife Ohio Department of Natural Resources SPRING 2016
    Division of Wildlife Ohio Department of Natural Resources SPRING 2016 FURBEARER ROADKILL SURVEY In 1979, the ODNR Division of Wildlife (division) began conducting roadkill surveys in March, April, July, and August for furbearers and small game mammals. These surveys allowed the division to monitor relative changes in population sizes. From 1979-2002, species recorded on the survey routes included raccoons (Procyon lotor ), muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus ), foxes (gray [ Urocyon cinereoargenteus ] and red foxes [Vulpes vulpes ] combined), opossums (Didelphis virginiana ), striped skunks (Mephitis mephitis ), mink ( Mustela vison ), woodchucks (Marmota monax ), eastern cottontail rabbits (Sylvilagus floridanus ), and tree squirrels (gray [ Sciurus carolinensis ] and fox squirrels [Sciurus niger ] combined). In 2003, surveys were limited to spring (March and April) and observations limited to raccoons, opossums, skunks, and woodchucks. Roadkill surveys provide the most reliable indices to population change for relatively abundant species. Further, larger bodied species (e.g., raccoons) are more likely to persist on the road and be more visible than smaller bodied ones (e.g., gray squirrels). Spring roadkill surveys provided adequate information regarding population trends for these species, without additional summer (July and August) surveys. METHODS Forty-nine 40-mile survey routes were distributed throughout Ohio. Routes were driven three times during March and again in April (6 replicates per route), with at least seven days between surveys. Routes were driven in the morning at speeds of less than or equal to 40 miles per hour. The number of road-killed raccoons, opossums, skunks, and woodchucks were tabulated by species. Roadkill surveys are an efficient way to index population size of medium-to-large-bodied mammals that are frequently found on roads.

  • ROAD KILL an American Western Myth, in Reverse
    ROAD KILL An American Western Myth, in reverse By Karen JP Howes Synopsis: A dark comedy that starts with a fat woman in a watermelon print dress who lies dead in the restroom of a roadside restaurant in the middle-of-nowhere. Oddly, she isn’t the only one dead, and the folks who try to jimmy open the restroom door are indirectly connected to each other and the woman’s death.
