The same shortcomings were present in the 2005 London bombings, as were others (for example, the way in which 'major incident' as declared). In the UK emergency planners do not manage the events they plan for. In 2017, the responses to the Manchester Arena bombings and the Grenfell Tower fire were substantially criticised.

I wrote about Boulder's in 2005, " Now I know why Boulder's Pearl Street Mall is the exception that proves the rule about the failures of pedestrian malls." College towns in Burlington, Vermont, Madison, Wisconsin, Boulder, Colorado and Charlottesville, Virginia are probably the most successful examples. Flickr photo by Let Ideas Compete.

In last week's piece on the opening of the second phase of the Silver Line (" Metrorail Silver Line phase two opening this week "), and in the original piece ("" Using the Silver Line as the priming event, what would a transit network improvement program look like for NoVA?

Cyclone Nargis devastated Myanmar and killed 136,000 of its citizens, in part because they had no role in creating resilience against such an event. The coup de grâce was the response to Hurricane Katrina in August 2005. It is a pity, as the United States have lost the lead in this field–if they ever had it.

Personally, I think an arena is probably an acceptable choice, especially as it likely will increase transit ridership to events--the team estimates that the 70% of trips to the current arena will drop to 40%, with the much better transit location of Market East. Most economic development planners don't know the difference.

But it's really a broader program than could be accomplished in the time frame of constructing the Silver Line. Extending the Yellow Line south on Rte. 1 to Fort Belvoir , adding four stations: Beacon Hill; Hybla Valley; Mount Vernon; and Fort Belvoir.

11 However, there is no evidence that there was a commensurate increase in G-fees in 2022, as such a large increase would have been a major political event in housing finance, with lots of loud complaining by the industry. Individual GSE public financial disclosures do, however, indicate there may have been a modest increase during 2022 (i.e.,

In order for a social movement driven by social media to live, or to be an event, the activism must be displayed not only through social media but also have a presence in the world on public display in plain view. Even better, it permits bypassing the traditional media with their message in real time as an event occurs.
