Reflection: Week of March 29th

I felt I spent a lot of time on my project this week.  In total, I would round it to 9 or 10 hours.  I was proud of all my work on my project this past week and I am going to make it a goal to work AT LEAST 8 hours a week on my project, hopefully more than that.

I thought my interview with Mr. Logue was very interesting.  We met at City Hall, and he had BIG maps of the trail which were helpful in understanding conflicts in the trail and the construction of the trail.  Mr. Logue seemed involved in Phase 2 of the trail more than anything else.  I now understand what he had to go through (being the City Engineer of Transportation) in order for the Trail to connect Phase 1 and Phase 3.

I also found my research at the library extremely helpful.  I talked to a reference librarian about my project and she was able to help me found tons of resources.  There were many city documents on development projects that had happened in the past.  I found of final draft of the proposal of the Waterfront Trail and copied that.  I plan on returning to the library several more times to copy more resources, and investigating the politics of proposing and constructing a development like the Waterfront Trail or the Wal-Mart Development.
