3. Local level
4. A problem/issue that individuals/families face.
5. This is a problem that could potentially affect families because many people use these trails on a daily basis. What if a father/provider of a family was injured because of city negligence?
6. This article is interesting because it mentions a problem
that many Austin citizens face. Although it may not be a large part of the
population who may entirely be affected by it there are several citizens who
may be harmed if there is not a policy put into place. There are several trails
around the city that are intended to be used by bikers. The downside of these
trails is that there is not as much protection offered to bikers who may use
them after dark. City council argues that there was too much money spent on
constructing these trails and their argument is that why should there be vigilance
on these trials as well, that will only cost even more money. In a city the
size of Austin, every citizen should be entitled to safety even those citizens
who use bike trails. There should be a policy implemented in which there should
be more time required by police to patrol the areas. There should not be a
policy restricting times in which the trails should be used because then why
were they built to begin with if not for usage? With traffic such as the
traffic experienced in this area it is difficult to get home at a specific time.
You cannot constrain usage times because you may never know what you may
encounter on the road that will delay you. There should be more input from authorities
to overall benefit those who use these trails.
