Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

12024-05-17T12:07:29-07:00Log Island Parkway Sidewalk Ends1plain2024-05-17T12:07:29-07:00On Vanderbilt Parkway, a parkway located on Long Island, New York, there is a high school and a public library, all surrounded by residential properties. Although it is expected for there to be safe pedestrian walkways for the students and local residents to walk on, there is a sidewalk that abruptly ends, forcing the students and pedestrians to walk on the shoulder of a busy and curvy parkway. Due to the sidewalk abruptly ending, the students and pedestrians have to be more alert about their safety, and even more so, the drivers on the road must either shift away from the shoulder or slow down, in order to assure the safety of the students and pedestrians, causing there to be a disruption in the parkway traffic. Also near the sidewalk, is a large curve in the road, which can potentially be a dangerous blind spot for both the drivers and the students and pedestrians. Since there is an abruptly ended sidewalk and a bend in the road, the students who walk are walking on a dangerous road every day.
