Moving on, the outside of the canal’s appearance is another problem that has a simple solution. First, volunteers gathered from the Delphos Canal Commission will clear fallen branches and brush along the canal. Next, a “10-foot wide trough”(#7) that is about “six inches deep”(#7) will be dug along the banks of the canal and then filled with compacted stone with a drainage system built under the path to accommodate for ground seepage. Finally, the canal’s appearance overhaul will be finished by planting oak and maple trees evenly along the newly constructed path. In addition, the Delphos trail would be an extension of the Miami Erie Canal Towpath Trail, even further being incorporated into the massive Buckeye Trail. Another improvement the canal is lacking is strong, formidable banks impervious to being washed out or damaged. Similar to Minster and other small towns, Delphos should build a stone wall along the banks on the …show more content…
The wooden locks need to be made out “white oak”(#4) similar to the original design; moreover, two wooden gates should be resurrected on each end of lock 24. Next, a supplier is needed to build the wooden gates, and I recommend hiring the “Hoge Lumber Co. of New Knoxville”(#5) since they did an excellent job of recreating the original wooden gates of Lock 1 in New Breman. With Lock 24 completely restored, the only thing missing is a miniature park that incorporates the lock within. For the canal memorial the city of Delphos can set the northeast portion of Stadium Park aside for improvements. The road along the canal in Stadium Park can be repaved to remove any potholes. In addition, the newly paved will lead to a small parking area that already exist to the west of lock 24. Eventually, the parking space will have some landscaping done around it in order to incorporate the parking lot into the overall
The sea wall protected the low-lying farmland and in addition to this the railway that links Ramsgate and London. A smaller recurved concrete sea wall was built west of the Towers to avert flooding at Reculver. Additional wooden groynes were sited on the beaches to delay longshore drift and maintain the shingle beaches, which itself is a defence. In the 1960s the houses at Bishopstone Glen were in danger of being destroyed because the soft clay and sandstone cliffs underneath them were so unstable. As a result another sea wall was built, this time underne... ...
The current trend in baseball park construction is a retro design, reminiscent of the early years, combined with modern technology. This trend, dubbed “The Construction Era” by Frank Deford of Sports Illustrated, is prominent in three new American League parks: Oriole Park at Camden Yards, Jacobs Field, and The Ballpark at Arlington. The current idea for ballpark construction is to locate the retro style parks in the heart of urban areas. The whole movement was initiated by the construction of Oriole Park at Camden Yards, and it’s radical new design concept.

Over the course of the Spanish-American war , the obvious need for a canal came apparent.The canal would stregthen the navy, and it would make easier defense of the islands in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The problem of where to build the canal came into play. Congress rejected Nicaragua and Panama was an unwilling part of this project. The course of the building was shifted to Colu...
This project is important to me and other concerned citizens that want to see our small town prosper. Over the last couple of decades the City of Delphos has fallen far away from it’s glory days of the late 1800’s and the early 1900’s; Main Street has begun to crumble and the current state of the canal is further worsening. For these reasons, the restoration of the canal is more important than ever. My hope is that rebuilding the canal will inspire similar projects in Delphos that will turn our small town into a place we can all be proud to live
The proposed location in Cobb County lies between Interstate 75 and Interstate 285 and will provide multiple access points to the stadium. There are numerous highways and side roads that will alleviate traffic congestion before and after game time. The proposed track of land for the new stadium is approximately 60 acres. However, the stadium will only occupy approximately 15 acres. The remaining 45 acres will be utilized for parking and mixed-use development. The site will accommodate approximately 6,000 parking spaces and the mixed-use development will consists of shops, restaurants, bars, residences, offices, and hotels. The 60 acre complex is designed to keep the sports fan entertained for the entire day and not just for the game only. If additional parking is needed, there are approximately 30,000 parking spaces within close proximity to the proposed stadium location that will have circulator shuttle access.
People in the northern United States during the early nineteenth century wanted to rapidly industrialize and increase the amount of money they were making. The Erie Canal they believed was a great way to reduce the distance and time of shipping goods to the west. They also realized that the canal would probably increase their markets, which would mean a larger profit. The problem with all of this was how people had to destroy parts of nature in order for this to happen. Nathaniel Hawthorne, a prominent writer during the time, described the canal as “too rapid, unthinking advance of progress.” (57) Hawthorne and his supporters were very upset to see how forests and swamps were being destroyed and ruined in order t...
"In 1978, Congress amended the National Trails Act of 1968 to form the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, but more than 30 years later the trail is still unfinished"(Boyer 1). The lack of clearly defined trails poses immense difficulties; therefore, maps are highly recommended--in order to help hikers find the safest path, with respect to their independence. Another main objective for maps is to navigate through the unfinished paths. For decades, the CDT was an obstacle in America's westward migration. Given the infamous obstacles,...

Biking from Franklin on the Allegheny Valley Trail, average travelers would assume that the path on which they were riding was nothing more than an ordinary trail in an ordinary town. Then around the five mile marker they would see the massive Belmar Bridge rising in the distance. Today the bridge serves as a reminder of our region’s rich history, harkening back to the days when oil wells dotted the landscape and railroads crisscrossed the countryside. At about the eight mile marker, a large rock covered in intricate symbols and markings juts out of the river. Centuries ago, Indian God Rock served as a waypoint for the Native Americans who created the paths on which the railroads were built. The Allegheny Valley, Samuel Justus, and Sandycreek Trails built by the Allegheny Valley Trails connect all eras of our region’s history, from the Native American period to the glory days of the oil industry, the years of economic decline, and the our recent resurgence as a center of tourism and recreation.

With all the new homes in the area, an elementary school was opened near the corner of the canal in 1955. Soon after the opening, students and teachers began complaining of being burnt, nauseous odors, and black sludge (Gibbs 21). It wasn’t till nearly thirty years later that the government finally decided to investigate the complaints.
The Suez Canal was a construction of a canal to make routes shorter. More importantly the canal was a construction of many dreams, profits, and the unification of the West and the East.
