Testing the Hypothesis Part 2

Testing the Hypothesis, Part 2

I interviewed my friend from Ohio State. I wanted to get a feel of what pedestrian and traffic is like at other college campuses. When he told me that he has the same problem at his school I wasn’t surprised at all. I feel like all college campuses have the same problem because of the amount of pedestrians. The big difference is his weather is a lot colder so there are less people outside walking and more people take the bus or uber to class.

I interviewed my dad to see what it was like back when he was in school. He went to school in a city so it was different than a college campus. He used to take the subway to class so it is tough to compare between his experiences at college regarding pedestrian walkers and mine.

The next person I interviewed is steve. He is a brother in my fraternity. He is an older brother so I wanted to see if the traffic was always as bad and he said that it even has started to get worse. More and more freshman started to get cars so there are more people driving cars.He even remembers once seeing an old man get honked at cause he was walking too slow across the street.

I interviewed another friend of mine to get their perspective on the situation. He had opinions unlike others who I have interviewed. He is a man of the people and believes that people should use any form of transportation they want to get from point A to point B. He believes that it would be safer if people who are walking weren’t walking the same streets as people who are driving. He also brought up how the amount of cops on campus does help with keeping walkers safe.

The final person I interviewed was another one of my friends. I ran out of different kinds of people to interview so I went to another one of my friends. He basically said the same as most people by saying that it would be a lot more people friendly if there were more bridges or tunnels. He brought up the tunnel by cypress hall in saying that it is a figure in the school that everyone knows about. It would be cool if we had more of those around the school.

Inside the Boundary	Outside the Boundary
Who: All college students at all Universities around the U.S	Who: People who aren’t in college yet. Younger kids
What the need is: Keeping people safe around campus, speeding up traffic	What the need is not: Getting rid of people walking around campus or cars
Why the need exist: There are so many people on campus who need to transport from point A to point B	Alternative Explanations: Every person should walk around campus and cars should not be allowed. (This is a bad idea)
