PURIFOYE CHICAGO, IL AUGUST 2014 Copyright by Gwendolyn Y. Purifoye, 2014 All rights reserved. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Successful completion of this dissertation project would have not been possible without the continual support of family, my church, friends, colleagues, and my committee. I would like to thank these many outstanding people beginning with my very wonderful, beautiful, selfless, and loving mother, Earnestine Burton. My mother has been my rock my entire life and I can never repay her for moving in with me as I began this project and for supporting me emotionally, spiritually, and in the special ways that only a mother can. Thank you mother for all of the conversations, encouraging words, meals, drives to campus, errands, and laughter. You are the absolute best. I also owe so much of my overall success to Bishop Reginald J. Burton, Sr. and Pastor Patricia Burton. They were always available for prayer, support, and advice, and motivated me to pursue a project that could lead to changes that can improve the lives of others. My mother and these outstanding spiritual leaders prayed me through the stress and the physical pains associated with this dissertation project and I am forever in their debt and grateful for their wisdom and unconditional love. I must also thank the members of God House of Prayer and Deliverance for all People Holiness Church for pushing me and supporting me. The phone calls, meals, and hugs pushed me toward the finish line and helped me to appreciate the importance of this study. iii Special thanks go to my cousins, who are also fellow church members: Eurnice Harris, LeBarron & Nina Burton, Jerome and Kesha Burton, and Erik and Savannah Mehren. Eurnice picked up many of my church duties and was so generous throughout the writing of this dissertation. She supported me during every phase of this project and her acts of love and kindness took away a lot of stress. LeBarron helped me to overcome some technical difficulties including how to progress with the writing even when my chronic tendonitis flared up. I also have to his wife, Nina S. Burton for reading drafts of the project and helping me capture data through photos and videos. They also provided me with many healthy meals on the weekends so that I could eat properly while gathering data in the field. A special thank you goes to my cousin Savannah who stepped in with the choir and took over my duties when I had to fully commit to the writing of this dissertation. Although she and her husband Erik are in Alabama, I often felt like they were right next to me because they constantly cheered me on and gave me so many needed boosts. I also have to thank Jerome and Kesha for keeping me company on many Monday nights with delicious Wing Hoe meals and ridiculous levels of laughter, which helped me tremendously. I also want to thank my sisters Rose (Audra), Sharon, and Sandra and my nephews and nieces: Brandyn, Anthony, Christopher, Chas, Briyanna, Kendra, and Cade for understanding when my time was limited, for helping me talk through some of the sticky spots in the research, and for providing much needed laughter. And to my sweet Emmanuel, a dynamic and intelligent man whom I am so grateful iv to have met when I did. Thank you for giving me space when I needed it and for your love, compassion, and understanding. There are many people at Loyola University Chicago that I must also acknowledge and thank, beginning with my dissertation director and mentor Dr. Kelly Moore without whom this project would not have come to fruition. Dr. Moore, your advice, wisdom, humor, and patience were invaluable and I will always be grateful and hope to model what you have shown me as I move forward in my career. I am also appreciative of my committee Drs. David Embrick, Phil Nyden at Loyola University Chicago and Dr. Japonica Brown-Saracino of Boston University. My committee elevated my scholarship and never faltered in highlighting the importance of my work or the contributions that it makes to the field, while also pushing me toward richer analysis and broader scopes. A special thanks to Dr. Lauren Langman in Loyola’s Department of Sociology who inspired me at the most crucial times. I am also thankful for my friendship with Dr. Scott Leon of Loyola’s Psychology Department who graciously partnered with me on projects that equipped me skills that were crucial to the completion of this dissertation project. I also owe much gratitude to Christine Wolff, Rosa Negussie, and Stephanie Decaluwe for the administrative support that they furnished along the way. I must also thank Dr. Samuel Attoh, Dean of the Graduate School, for providing me with generous funding resources and for constantly being a ‘listening ear.’ I also want to thank Dr. Jessica Horowitz and Dr. Patricia Mooney-Melvin in the Graduate School and Dr. Dina Berger in the History Department for the dissertation v boot camps and the support that they so freely offered. Funding for my dissertation was provided by the Graduate School’s Advanced Doctoral Fellowship and a fellowship funded by the Arthur J. Schmitt Foundation. And finally, I owe a special level of gratitude to the many friends and colleagues who stimulated my mind, helped me talk through my analysis, and who encouraged me in this project. Although there is not enough space to individually thank them all, I want to give a special shout out to some folks: Thank you Dr. Reuben Miller for helping this sista wrap her head around a wealth of information. Thank you Crystal Jackson for all the writing trips, coffee talks, and helping me prep for my defense. Thank you Kimberlee Guenther because you were so instrumental in keeping me on track with my analysis and writing tasks. Kyle Woolley, you not only went out in the cold and took pictures for me, but you were there to lean on throughout this process; thank you. Chez Rumpf and Catherine Gillis, thank you for helping me talk through much of the madness and genuinely supporting me. Lynn Bryan, you’re not only like a sister, but your support during this dissertation has meant so much. You are my favorite wordsmith for sure. To my many other friends in the Sociology Department who took writing breaks with me and kept me in stiches, while also lifting me up as a scholar: Komala Hayes, Latrese Monden, Barbara Kart and Solly Chacko, thank you so much for everything. vi For Mother and Bishop & Pastor Burton who taught me to remain humble and faithful, and to love God no matter what TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS iii LIST OF TABLES x LIST OF FIGURES xi LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS xiv ABSTRACT xv CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION 1 Why Mobility Matters 3 Raced Mobile Systems and Economically Segregated Spaces 7 Gender and the Masculinization of Mobile Spaces 10 Social Isolation, Social Interactions and Confined Mobile Spaces 11 Research Study, Background, Overview and Data Collection 14 Research Site 16 Evidence and Analytic Strategy 21 Participant Observations 22 Document Analysis 25 Interviews 27 Mobile Diaries: People of the CTA 29 Recording the Data 31 Analysis of Bus Routes and Train Tracks 33 Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) 33 Metra: The Way to Really Fly™ 37 Unexpected Mobile Experiences and Race 38 My Experiences Riding in Unequal Ways 41 Overview of Chapters 46 CHAPTER TWO: CHICAGO’S HISTORIES: HOW PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION REPRODUCES UNEQUAL SPACES 49 Early Chicago and the Growth of Public Transit 49 Public Transit, Class, Race, and Ethnicity 54 A Brief Overview of the Material Organization of Chicago and Class and Race Inequalities 62 Aggregate Inequalities: Material Differences in Downtown Chicago 66 Unequal Access to the City’s Urban Core via Public Transport 78 Indelible Housing and Educational Inequalities and Segregation 86 Housing and Schools: How Material Difference is Reproduced Through Public Transportation at the Level of Neighborhoods 89 vii Mobile Public Spaces Expose Segregation and Material Differences 94 Conclusion: Why Mobility Matters 100 CHAPTER THREE: EXPERIENCING THE MATERIAL DIFFERENCES OF MOBILE SPACE: HOW PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS REPRODUCE INEQUALITIES 102 Two Chicagos: Differentiated Mobile Spaces 102 How Differences are Designed into the CTA and Metra Systems 103 Discovering Spatial Differences 109 Waiting Expectations and Safety 115 Material

  • Brooklyn Transit Primary Source Packet
    BROOKLYN TRANSIT PRIMARY SOURCE PACKET Student Name 1 2 INTRODUCTORY READING "New York City Transit - History and Chronology." Mta.info. Metropolitan Transit Authority. Web. 28 Dec. 2015. Adaptation In the early stages of the development of public transportation systems in New York City, all operations were run by private companies. Abraham Brower established New York City's first public transportation route in 1827, a 12-seat stagecoach that ran along Broadway in Manhattan from the Battery to Bleecker Street. By 1831, Brower had added the omnibus to his fleet. The next year, John Mason organized the New York and Harlem Railroad, a street railway that used horse-drawn cars with metal wheels and ran on a metal track. By 1855, 593 omnibuses traveled on 27 Manhattan routes and horse-drawn cars ran on street railways on Third, Fourth, Sixth, and Eighth Avenues. Toward the end of the 19th century, electricity allowed for the development of electric trolley cars, which soon replaced horses. Trolley bus lines, also called trackless trolley coaches, used overhead lines for power. Staten Island was the first borough outside Manhattan to receive these electric trolley cars in the 1920s, and then finally Brooklyn joined the fun in 1930. By 1960, however, motor buses completely replaced New York City public transit trolley cars and trolley buses. The city's first regular elevated railway (el) service began on February 14, 1870. The El ran along Greenwich Street and Ninth Avenue in Manhattan. Elevated train service dominated rapid transit for the next few decades. On September 24, 1883, a Brooklyn Bridge cable-powered railway opened between Park Row in Manhattan and Sands Street in Brooklyn, carrying passengers over the bridge and back.

  • Pieces of a Woman
    PIECES OF A WOMAN Directed by Kornél Mundruczó Starring Vanessa Kirby, Shia LaBeouf, Molly Parker, Sarah Snook, Iliza Shlesinger, Benny Safdie, Jimmie Falls, Ellen Burstyn **WORLD PREMIERE – In Competition – Venice Film Festival 2020** **OFFICIAL SELECTION – Gala Presentations – Toronto International Film Festival 2020** Press Contacts: US: Julie Chappell | [email protected] International: Claudia Tomassini | [email protected] Sales Contact: Linda Jin | [email protected] 1 SHORT SYNOPSIS When an unfathomable tragedy befalls a young mother (Vanessa Kirby), she begins a year-long odyssey of mourning that touches her husband (Shia LaBeouf), her mother (Ellen Burstyn), and her midwife (Molly Parker). Director Kornél Mundruczó (White God, winner of the Prix Un Certain Regard Award, 2014) and partner/screenwriter Kata Wéber craft a deeply personal meditation and ultimately transcendent story of a woman learning to live alongside her loss. SYNOPSIS Martha and Sean Carson (Vanessa Kirby, Shia LaBeouf) are a Boston couple on the verge of parenthood whose lives change irrevocably during a home birth at the hands of a flustered midwife (Molly Parker), who faces charges of criminal negligence. Thus begins a year-long odyssey for Martha, who must navigate her grief while working through fractious relationships with her husband and her domineering mother (Ellen Burstyn), along with the publicly vilified midwife whom she must face in court. From director Kornél Mundruczó (White God, winner of the Prix Un Certain Regard Award, 2014), with artistic support from executive producer Martin Scorsese, and written by Kata Wéber, Mundruczó’s partner, comes a deeply personal, searing domestic aria in exquisite shades of grey and an ultimately transcendent story of a woman learning to live alongside her loss.

  • In Response to a Recent Outbreak of Gang Warfare Violence at the Robert
    In response to a recent outbreak of gang warfare violence at the Robert Taylor Homes in Chicago that left ten people dead over a weekend, the Director of the Chicago Housing Authority, Vincent Lane, wanted to have the Chicago police conduct a warrantless sweep search of the Taylor Homes, and to require residents to agree to such searches as a condition in their housing leases. The ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) has challenged the constitutionality of the sweep search Director Lane wanted. The ACLU also indicated that it would vigorously challenge in court any policy of the Chicago Housing Authority that makes agreement to warrantless searches a condition of living in public housing. Under the circumstances prevailing at the Robert Taylor Homes would warrantless police sweep searches of tenants' apartments be morally justifiable? ANSWER: No: This is a difficult question that requires balancing the fundamental interest of public housing residents in security from life threatening violent criminal behavior and their basic moral right to privacy in their homes. In this case it seems that the balance must be struck in favor of the right of privacy. Given the widespread possession and easy availability of guns in the United States, it is uncertain how effective warrantless sweep searches would be, even if done frequently. On the other hand, the searches would have to be very thorough and intrusive in light of the ease with which a person can hide a gun. The situation at the Robert Taylor Homes is tragic and frightening, but dispensing with a warrant requirement for searches of apartment is not an ethically appropriate response to it.

  • December 2020 Project Management Oversight Report
    Project Management Oversight December 2020 REPORT ON PROJECT MANAGEMENT OVERSIGHT – DECEMBER 2020 Executive Summary This semi‐annual Report on Project Management Oversight details Service Board efforts in implementing their capital programs. Included are details on all state‐funded projects, regardless of budget, and all systemwide projects with budgets of $10 million or more, regardless of funding source. Information in this report was collected by direct , interviews project meetings, and documented submissions from Service Board project management teams. The RTA’s 2018‐2023 Regional Transit Strategic Plan, Invest in Transit, highlights $30 billion of projects that are needed to maintain and modernize the region’s transit network. To maintain and preserve the current system in a State of Good Repair (SGR), as well as address the backlog of deferred SGR projects, requires a capital investment of $2 to $3 billion per year. The Rebuild Illinois funding is planned to expedite overdue repair and replacement projects, reduce the backlog of deferred improvements, and move the system toward a state of good repair. It nearly doubles the previous five‐year regional capital program of $4.3 billion. The funds enable real progress on the state of good repair, by allowing improvements and in some cases replace aging system assets. Although this has been a difficult year due to operating funding shortfalls related to COVID‐19, the Service Boards are continuing with the implementation of their capital programs. This report includes, for the first time, 13 Rebuild Illinois projects representing $655 million in Rebuild Illinois funding. The 13 projects reported on have begun during this reporting period and have ongoing activities.
