2nd Quarter PBL - City of Duluth Projects by Abbey Goldin https://padlet.com/abbey_goldin1/810mue1m2e68 Develop 6 questions about one of selected City Projects. Use the Q Chart. Questions should focus on the Driving Question (Soil & Land Conservation) en-us 2017-10-31 19:06:25 UTC 2025-12-19 22:31:48 UTC hello@padlet.com Nayan Revankar https://padlet.com/abbey_goldin1/810mue1m2e68/wish/202305132 1. How will the land for the library support the whole city of Duluth as the library has limited space and it's in downtown Duluth?
2. Will the library be built upwards due to the limited space? If it is, how will it be supported?
3. Will the library being on a hill and have a retaining wall to stop the wind from blowing more sediments.
4. Will the pedestrian connection support the library by connecting to the library?
5. Will the city of Duluth connect the library from the opposing side of downtown? 
6. Why would they move the library to downtown even though the old location wasn't as crowded?]]> 2017-10-31 19:19:42 UTC https://padlet.com/abbey_goldin1/810mue1m2e68/wish/202305132 Neha Kumar https://padlet.com/abbey_goldin1/810mue1m2e68/wish/202305144 Q1: Do you think that the train track nearby could affect the processes of building the new library?
Q2: Since the new library location is so close to the City Hall do you think that so many people hanging around there most of the time disturb the work that happens there?
Q3: Would we have to change the hours on the library so that people don't get stuck in school traffic on their way to the library or vise versa? 
Q4: Since we now know how much soil is required for a project how would we go about on putting that soil on the site without affecting the actual build? Meaning how would we put the soil on the site without it getting in the way of the building? Would we have to close the road or use another patch of land to store soil?
Q5: Would the train track increase noise levels even though a library is viewed as a quiet place to study? The school is quite close to a train track and some students often get distracted by it.
Q6: Would the library disturb the people who live near the library site such as the near neighborhood.
