The route I’m going to be covering is the route I take everyday to get to city tech. I Take the 7 express sometimes local train all the way to 74st if its local or if its express to 5 ave and I walk to the F. I get out at Jay street and metro tech. I walk up and I start my walk to school on the left side of the street I walk past by this building I don’t know what is it or for in front of this building there are benches to sit on that are circular around trees. Walking a little bit more down I see food carts such as Nathans halal food I believe and people selling things.Slowly after I past these things I hit the courthouse and then I cross the street and I hit city tech and go inside. On the way to school I only cross the street once and wait for one light. My walk isn’t interesting nor do I pay attention to my surroundings cause I’m caught up with my music blasting through my headphones or not I’m tired I just want to be in and out of school.

The calming route is one of the best routes to take when going to school in my opinion. When your day is just getting started its easier to shift from a calming mood to a getting things done mood than going from an annoyed mood to a good one. This route starts after you exit the two and five train station at Borough Hall and you enter Columbus. Once you exit the train station you see on your left the Supreme Court and on your right there’s a TD bank. You would continue walking straight and there are trees on both sides of you, in front of those trees are benches. Straight ahead you see the Henry Ward Beecher statute, when you reach up to the statute you make a right as you cross the street, the street is usually vacant. Then you reach Johnson street and cross the street straight ahead and walk straight until you reach City Tech. This walk is the most calming walk to me because you have the trees and the nice view while walking along with everything not really busy. Its also a calming route because, you aren’t trying to get around a bunch of people so your just moving at your own pace. This walk is about 3-5 minutes longer than other routes when leaving the Borough Hall train station. Depending on your pace which includes the factor of walking up an inclined plane, because the area is not a flat surface your time may vary. Although the walk is not a big time difference the time and energy it takes to walk up the inclined park is more peaceful than some of the other routes. In the afternoon it is peaceful aswell but there are more people and a food market is held in the middle of the park. The most peaceful time to enjoy this route is in the morning, you will still get a positive vibe but the silence in the morning allows more of self reflection vibe.

When I commute to school there is only one way I take. I quite often am late so I need to most fast and efficient way of getting to Jay Street Metrotech to City Tech. First of all, I always leave through the A, C, F, exit. This is not only the closest to the school, but also the most direct exit that the station has. I then walk by the “balanced cylinders”, although I don’t pay much attention to them. I walk under the scaffolding, then cross the street to the corner where the new City Tech building is under construction. It’s most efficient to cross the street here first because there are no cars that travel down Tech street. Instead of waiting for two lights, I wait for one. It’s the fastest way to school.

In project #4, I’m going to be covering my route from the Jay Street Station to City Tech. It’s the route I take practically everyday, and since I have multiple activities after school, I usually take different routes. The most important route is for when I need to get to school quickly. I wake up very late so it’s imperative that I have a fast route to get to school on time. So I tend to avoid people, construction, crossing the street, and crowded areas. The only landmark I have between the train station and City Tech is the balanced cylinders in front of starbucks.

The routes I choose to go through everyday to get to school are familiar for everyone. I take a bus and two trains which are Q27, 7 Train, and F train. This is the easiest and quickest route to get to school. When you’re in flushing to take the 7 train, you see a lot of delis, restaurants, and small shopping malls/places. When you go to city tech, you can see a lot of different restaurants and shopping places. You can also see NYU Engineering school and NYU has a little park where people would rest and there are fast food restaurants in the park.

When I am on my way to school in the morning the easiest and fastest way is to take the F train and get off at Willoughby street but on my way home later the York Street Station entrance is the path where there is less people and I can look at the the Manhattan Bridge on Sands Street after I pass the Voorhees Building and then as I continue to walk towards the Brooklyn Queens Expressway there is the “YES” murals. One is designed in black and white paint and then across the street is the one that we have for our class Openlab background.
