What We're Going To Do: The Short Presentation

Group Members Physically Present: Tayler, Nick, and Katie

Other Members' Contributions: Anne sent out a very detailed email including the different aspects needing to be covered and points of contact.

Problem: 

Lack of lighting and security measures on campus trails/sidewalks.

Cause and Effect:

• Lack of lighting and blue emergency stations lead to feelings of perceived danger and a general sense of a lack of security and possible assaults.
• Lack of lighting could lead to physical injury (separate from assault). If injury occurs, no emergency station exists to summon help.

Why: 

This is a topic that affects all UWRF students and even some faculty. These are also trails and areas that people frequently use.

Parameters:

• Lighting and blue emergency stations
• Changing the perception of the trail

Points of Contact: 

• Campus Security/Police: Why isn't there better lighting and security one these trails? Do you escort people if it's requested? Different reports of incidents occurring on these trails.
• River Falls Police: Why isn't there better lighting and security on these trails? What is the severity of not providing more security?
• UWRF Students: A poll or a survey inquiring about both perceived safety on these trails and a general knowledge and understanding.
