Thesis Questions

1) Where would be the best placement of a bridge over Summit Drive to encourage use by pedestrians, cyclists and users with mobility disabilities?

2) How can CPTED principles be incorporated into the design of the bridge and surrounding areas?

3) How can the design of the bridge and surrounding areas incorporate community priorities such the "Tournament Capital City" initiative?

I like the first question, but I think it could be broadened a bit to include the other two. For example, "how could a pedestrian bridge over Summit Drive be best deisgned for maximum use?" If it is safe and incorporates cultural aspects, then it shoudl be used more.

Here's a link for APA formatting that I told you about. It helped me out a lot.
