The document discusses the effectiveness of skywalks in Mumbai. It notes that Mumbai has a high population density and traffic congestion problems near railway stations. Skywalks were proposed to help disperse pedestrians and decongest streets. The objective of the study is to determine if potential commuters are using skywalks and, if not, identify reasons why and possible solutions. It provides background on skywalk planning and construction in Mumbai and discusses the first completed skywalk in Bandra East.
This document provides background information on a market research project analyzing the utility of a skywalk in Bandra, Mumbai. It discusses the congestion issues at Bandra Station that led to the skywalk's construction. Details provided include the skywalk's features, implementation agencies, challenges during construction, and future planned skywalk projects. The research objectives are to determine if there was a need for the skywalk, identify if potential commuters are using it, and if not, understand the reasons in order to suggest solutions to increase usage. A descriptive research design utilizing secondary data sources and primary data collection via questionnaires and observation will be used.

O documento descreve diversos mirantes ao redor do mundo, incluindo a ponte de vidro no Grand Canyon, um refúgio na encosta do Monte Blanc e caixas de vidro na torre Sears em Chicago. Muitos outros mirantes são citados em locais como China, Dubai, Canadá, Austrália, Áustria e Portugal. O texto também discute rotas turísticas arquitetônicas na Noruega, incluindo alguns mirantes ao longo do caminho.
The document summarizes the history and current state of the Cedar Rapids Skywalk system, and proposes ideas to improve wayfinding, accessibility, and functionality through new signage, interactive touchscreen kiosks, and a mobile app. The goals are to create a new iconic identity, ensure ADA compliance, provide updated maps and directories, and generate revenue through advertising on the kiosks and app. The initial costs are estimated between $300,000-$600,000 with ongoing support paid through advertising revenue and sponsorships.
The document proposes building skywalks over Main Street in Saratoga to increase foot traffic and money circulating in the town by providing a safe way for people to cross the street. Up to three skywalks would be constructed, with the main sections and ramps covered, lights run by green energy, and a total estimated cost of $216,000 taking all factors into consideration.
The Grand Canyon Skywalk is a glass bridge suspended 4,000 feet above the Colorado River at the edge of the Grand Canyon. Construction began in 2004 and was completed in 2005, passing tests by withstanding over 71 million pounds, the weight of 71 fully loaded 747 airplanes. The bridge can withstand winds over 100 mph from all directions and an 8.0 magnitude earthquake within 50 miles, using over 1 million pounds of steel in its construction.
The poor quality of our streets causes over 160 deaths every year. There is a dire need for street design guidelines that ensure high quality streets through standardization of essential street elements
Traffic in Pune has become increasingly dangerous due to the rising number of vehicles and unruly driving. Various signs and messages around the city aim to educate drivers about traffic rules and safety, such as following traffic signals, driving in lanes, and not using phones or drinking while driving. The traffic police department needs to use modern technology to better monitor traffic and launches are needed to educate the public. Recommendations include wearing helmets, not drinking and driving, and driving cautiously around schools and hospitals.
The document discusses solutions to improve commuting in Pune, India. It recommends increasing buses and improving maintenance, rationalizing routes, bringing transparency to operations, and training staff. It also suggests improving pedestrian access for the BRTS and considers underground metro rail as more suitable than elevated tracks. The summary highlights key issues and proposed solutions such as improving public transportation and developing alternative transit systems.
Pune's traffic problems have increased dramatically as the city's road network has grown only 6 times while traffic has increased 105 times since 1960. Insufficient roads, poor traffic management, and inefficient public transportation have led to severe traffic issues. While cycle tracks and buses aim to help, Pune's public transportation system, PMPML, is overburdened and underperforming. There is an urgent need for mass rapid transit systems like metro and BRTS projects to provide reliable, comfortable, and affordable alternatives to private vehicles and address the city's commuting woes.
The document discusses transport problems facing major cities in India. It notes that while transport demand has increased substantially due to population growth and urbanization, public transport systems have not kept pace. As a result, there has been a massive shift towards private vehicle ownership and intermediate modes of transport. This has led to high traffic congestion in cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Pune and Bangalore, whose infrastructure is unable to cope with the rapidly growing vehicle numbers.
1. The document discusses transport problems and potential solutions in the town of Swadlincote over the next 20 years as traffic is expected to dramatically increase.
2. Several groups are tasked with presenting proposals to the South Derbyshire Council planning committee, including increasing road building, improving public transport, and encouraging walking and cycling.
3. The planning committee must decide which proposal they will approve to address the town's future transport needs as traffic levels rise over the next two decades.
