You are the City Planner for the City of Greensboro, Alabama. You have been asked to select a location for three new buildings:

  1. The Police Department
  2. A Fire Station
  3. An Elementary School

Click on the image to go to PAINT for this exercise.

Before making a final decision on their location, consider that curved roads and short roads can be combined with traffic signals and signs to slow traffic down while long straight roads with limited numbers of traffic signals and signs can be used to move people and goods quickly and efficiently.

How will your decision related to the location of the three buildings affect the lives of the people who interact with these departments on a daily basis?

How will your decision affect the response times for emergency services in Greensboro?

What effect will your decision have on the safety of children walking back and forth to school?
