MEMORANDUM
To: Dr. Erika Paterson, ENGL 301 professor
From: Madison Strasman, ENGL 301 student
Date: July 9, 2022
Subject: Progress on installing streetlights on Southwest and Northwest Marine Drive
Hello Dr. Paterson,
This memo addresses the progress of my report regarding the absence of streetlights on Southwest Marine Drive and Northwest Marine Drive. I have discussed my altered intended audience, the purpose of this report, the significance of the report, my research plan, and my writing schedule.
After reconsideration, the audience of this report will be addressed to William Emo, the the manager of the University Endowment Lands.
The purpose of this report is to address the concern revolving the absence of streetlights on Southwest Marine Drive, also known as the UBC Highway. This is important because commuters to the University rely on Southwest Marine Drive via bicycle, public transportation, car, or walking.
William Emo is the manager of the University Endowment Lands and is responsible for overseeing all administration. There have been several incidents on Southwest Marine Drive and Northwest Marine Drive involving vehicle pedestrian collisions and this is a safety concern. Mr. Emo is in a position to implement streetlights in the City of Vancouver and with his connections, there is potential for this proposal to move forward.
My research plan is as follows:
- Identify the locations of incidents along Southwest and Northwest Marine Drive
- Research urban planning tactics for streetlighting
- Conduct surveys online regarding safety concerns on Southwest and Northwest Marine Drive
I have also scheduled dates to structure this report.
