-Through a bond issue, a city council has the funding to create bike lanes in
the city; however, they cannot agree upon the routes and upon which streets
should contain the bike lanes. Expert A has presented evidence about traffic
flow and bicycle safety, concluding that bike lanes should be put on
residential streets where possible and kept off the busier main corridors.
Expert A's evidence shows that this increases safety for the bikers even
though it may mean they will ride longer distances. Expert B has presented
evidence about traffic flow and bicycle safety that concludes that the main
corridors are the better and safer choice for bike lanes because they are
wider and more easily accessible. The city decides to go with Expert A's
evidence and installs the bike lanes on residential streets. Shortly after the
bike lanes open, a biker is seriously injured when hit by a car backing out of
a driveway.

-A city has recently built a new sports arena in a downtown urban area that

inconvenienced by the arena.
What primary questions would the city want to ask to measure the
implications of this solution? - -Have we identified the negative implications
of the proposed solution?
, Have we identified the positive implications of the proposed solutions?

educational company that sells reading curriculum products to schools and

-A recent study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology found
that people who spend most of their days in a job that requires sitting have a
higher mortality rate than those whose jobs require more movement. The
study found that even for people who exercise regularly, spending long
stretches of time sitting at a desk is still harmful. The study found that within
four hours of sitting, the body begins to send harmful signals and the genes
that regulate glucose and fat begin to shut down. The researchers suggest
that even small movements such as standing to watch a child's soccer game
or pacing while talking on the phone can make a big difference. While most
consider this an individual problem, the obesity-related illnesses caused by
too much sitting have a social impact in terms of health care availability and
health care costs for all citizens.
Which of the following are plausible solutions to the social pr - -Create
government incentives to encourage the creation of academic and work
environments that promote movement and discourage sitting for long
periods.
Enact national, state, and local educational campaigns to encourage people
to sit less.
