The idea of banning bicycles on the Riverwalk in Chicago
Answer:
E-mails reveal how the threat of a cyclist revolt convinced the city to end the de facto prohibition.
by John Greenfield
If I’d known city officials were going to try to ban biking on the new Chicago Riverwalk, I never would have advocated for building it. From the start, the Riverwalk extension was promoted as a commuting corridor for cyclists and pedestrians, not just a place to lounge with a glass of cabernet.
The city’s pitch to the federal government for a $99 million Transportation Infrastructure Finance Innovation Act loan to build the esplanade promised, “The project will enhance safety . . . with bicycle paths and pedestrian trails along the continuous promenade.”
And at a 2013 public hearing on the initiative, city planner Michelle Woods said she expected cyclists would use the promenade as a connection between the Lakefront Trail and the Loop, “which frankly I am fine with them doing.” Assurances like this were a big reason why I wrote half a dozen Streetsblog posts cheerleading the project.
By summer 2018, the promenade had become a victim of its own success. At peak times during the warmer months, the cafe zone between State and Clark Streets was lively but chaotic: families strolling with small children, seniors walking dogs, boaters pulling up to the docks, and lots of young professionals sipping IPAs.
SHARKS' TEETH
Langston Carter
The day we found the sharks' teeth was foggy and cool. Moisture hung in the air so thick you could almost see it sparkling in the dim sunlight. There were days, early in the summer like this one, where it seemed there was more water in the air than in the bay. We had beached the boat and stepped out on the recently cleared spit of land. The ground had a light dusting of white sand over an under layer of dried black mud. It looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste. The ground was solid, but we knew from experience that it was full of fiddler crab holes, and would be underwater at the first super-high tide. Mysteriously, to us anyway, someone wanted to build a house there.
We often came to these spots to look for artifacts. Our beach, our summer home, had been a fishing camp for as long as anyone living could remember. The oldest stories told of travelers coming down to the edge of the sea, lining up to fill their wagon beds with salted fish to take back home. Old decaying cabins still lined the beach. Rotting nets, hung out to dry in the last century, decorated their weathered walls. Their broken faces spun stories in our minds. The fishermen who, tanned and wrinkled from sun and salt, hauled their nets full of splashing mullet in to cheers from the waiting crowds. The bounty of the sea lightened everyone's hearts, and the smell of roasting fish filled the damp air. Women fanned themselves from wagon seats. Children splashed in the shallow edges of the bay. It was a scene we had acted out as youngsters, building an imaginary bridge to a life we would never fully know.

Explain the similarities and differences between how Patrick Henry refers to God, or the church, in his speech and how Frederick Douglass refers to the same topic. In what way does Douglass contradict Henry? Explain.
Speech: "What to the slave is the fourth of July" and "Give me Liberty or Give me death"
Answer:
Hi there
One huge difference between Henry and Jefferson is their difference as individual person, views, and politics. The similarity is that they both want people to be free plus they all wanted to get rid of bad British rule over the colonies. The purpose of Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence was to abolish all allegiances to Great Britain and be set free from unfair taxes, tyrannical rule, and unfair treatment. The purpose of Henry's Virginia Convention Speech was to persuade the colonists to enter into war against Great Britain. Henry’s speech is more demanding than the Declaration of Independence. His tone is aggressive because he wants to persuade the audience to agree with what he believes is right. He contradicts Henry on the grounds that he did not want a war to harm innocent people and their lives.

Lu was tempted to vape because all of her friends were doing it. However, she reminded herself that it is illegal. Breaking the law would be the wrong thing to do. What stage of moral development would Kohlberg MOST likely say Lena is demonstrating? A. Post-conventional B. Ethical conventional stage C. Preconventional stage D. Conventional stage
The stage of moral development Kohlberg would most likely say that Lu is demonstrating is:
D. Conventional stage.
According to Lawrence Kohlberg's theory, there are three possible moral development stages:
1. Pre-conventional
2. Conventional
3. Post-conventional
The one that matters most to us here is the conventional stage of moral development. This is when we internalize the values and rules modeled and taught to us by adults.
At the conventional stage, we do not question authority. We accept what we are told we should or should not do.
This is the stage where Lu is at (notice that the name Lena also appears in the question). She has accepted the fact that vaping is illegal, for that reason, is not going to do it.
