Following up on my task given to me by Claude a couple weeks ago, I was finally able to use his tape measure to go around downtown San Jose, measuring the widths of streets and sidewalks, to prepare for design of the space Spartan Superway could take up currently. Here are my results:

Jackson St. near 5th St.

N sidewalk 178, parallel (||) parking 99, street (two way) 275, diagonal parking 224, S sidewalk 182

4th near Washington

W sidewalk 161, parallel parking 94, bike lane 74, street (two way) 265, bike lane 101, || parking 101, E sidewalk 177

4th near St. John

W sidewalk 121, || parking 110, bike lane 134, street (one way, two lanes) 325, || parking 101, E sidewalk 177

2nd near San Fernando

E sidewalk 188, street (one way, two lanes) 289, midwalk area 186, lightrail 110, W sidewalk 177

San Carlos near Market

N sidewalk 118, N side of street 300, lightrail area 290, S side of street 259, S sidewalk 172

San Fernando near 6th

S sidewalk 205, || parking 85, bike lane 94, street (two way, with center turning lane) 407, bike lane 90, || parking 90, sidewalk 175

11th near San Fernando

E sidewalk 146, || parking 106, bike lane 75, street (one way, two lanes) 328, || parking 88, W sidewalk 176

Claude will use this information for his SolidWorks designs.

For this week, I am working with my group to formulate our Presentation 2. We've spent a lot of time working on this presentation, as we were lost with our direction last week and we are slowly regaining our plans. We've finished cutting out our laser-cut rapid prototype and just need to assemble it. The other members of the group are working on calculations. I'm focusing more on goals and deliverables, as well as problem statements, comparisons, and anything that is general to the presentation.
