Mission:
As you might heard from the news, there was an increase in pedestrian fatalities and hazard accidents on Malta and KRO streets in the past 3 weeks and all of Duhok City is affected by it. One of the reasons is the absence of crosswalks and pedestrian necessary facilities on the streets. I wonder if we could hold a workshop inviting affiliated engineers and experts and propose an urban solution for both streets by redesigning them to international standard. I attached an editable file to modify. If you approve, I will invite the key facilitators on Sunday and hold the workshop on Tuesday (time 9:10 a.m.) to tackle the problem.
Description:
In response to the alarming rise in pedestrian accidents and fatalities in recent weeks, the Department of Architectural Engineering at the University of Duhok is organizing a crucial workshop dedicated to tackling the crosswalk issues on Malta and KRO Streets.
Workshop Overview:
The safety of pedestrians is of paramount concern, and this workshop aims to bring together a diverse range of experts, including academics and government officials, to collectively address and resolve the pressing challenges faced by pedestrians in these areas.
Key Objectives:
Problem Identification: Gain a comprehensive understanding of the existing crosswalk issues on Malta and KRO Streets through data analysis and expert insights.
Solution Proposals: Collaborate with experts to develop innovative solutions that enhance pedestrian safety, accessibility, and convenience.
Urban Planning and Design: Explore urban planning and architectural design strategies to create safer and more pedestrian-friendly environments.
Government Collaboration: Establish channels for effective collaboration between academia and government authorities to implement proposed solutions.
Expected Outcomes:
By the end of this workshop, participants will have:
● Identified the key challenges affecting pedestrian safety on Malta and KRO Streets.
