     Make a traffic inventory of the community. Do commuters complain of delays? Are there dangerous intersections, poorly marked corners, pockmarked streets?
     Interview commuters; listen to radio traffic reports for trouble spots and talk to those who gather information for the traffic reports. Talk to school safety patrol personnel, city street department employees and their superiors. Interview police, sheriff's officers and highway patrol officers who deal with traffic. Have the city highway or traffic engineer conduct a tour of known trouble spots.
     Obtain the master plan for road repair, reconstruction, rerouting and new construction.

B. Adoption

     Unable to find children in the U.S. to adopt, people have turned to agencies that have agreements with orphanages in foreign countries. Make a check of local agencies to see what countries they work with and see what is involved with such adoptions: visits to the foreign orphanage, costs, numbers of these adoptees in the community. If possible interview an adoptive family.
