Day 28
We called more companies to see of we could get any last minute meetings for next week. We are sad that the project is coming to an end because for the previous weeks, we have really gotten into the project and now we don't want to leave it.
The 3 Musketeers - Jason Kingsley, Raymond Frost, Yaniv Gorodischer
Lawrence Birnbach
Vic Leviatin (former teacher at Woodlands High School)
Obstacles
- Some guy who works in an office at the Greenburgh Town Hall. He tries to discourage us by implying that we are not working hard enough and doesn't take us or this project seriously. It is very frustrating when people think that we are not accomplishing work just because we are interns and in high school. We face this obstacle with many other companies that we call up to support us, but we are determined to make this project happen and to make a difference.
Sidewalk Obstacles
- The road is very narrow and steep. The phone poles are too close to the road and it would cost extra money to move them. Moving the phone poles closer to the houses will most likely be dangerous because we do not understand the medical consequences of living closer to the power lines.
-Liabilities of the sidewalk being on private property.
