Good morning, RVA! It’s 76 °F, and blah, blah, blah, hot and humid today. We may see some rain late tonight and into early tomorrow morning, which would be nice. This headline from the Richmond Times-Dispatch’s John Boyer catches the mood: “Richmond hasn’t seen 20 straight days of highs in the 90s since ‘Waterworld’ was in theaters.”Water coolerAs of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports 999↘️ new positive cases of the coronavirus in the Commonwealth and 30↗️ new deaths as a result of the virus. VDH reports 100↗️ new cases in and around Richmond (Chesterfield: 33, Henrico: 30, and Richmond: 37). Since this pandemic began, 285 people have died in the Richmond region. I’ve seen some folks talking about the recent federal change in hospitalization reporting requirements—requirements that bypass the CDC and have hospitals sending data straight to the Department of Health and Human Services. This post on the COVID Tracking Project’s blog is the best explanation of what’s happened, how that’s impacted the public availability of coronavirus data, and what that means for how we understand what’s going on with everything. Let me quote the important part: “it is not possible that any change in federal reporting requirements for hospitals has a causative role in the change in the direction of COVID-19 case counts at the state or national level.” So that’s reassuring! But it’s not all good news as the change in requirements has destabilized some of processes used to report hospitalization data and the underlying data itself. Again, to quote from the post: “These problems mean that our hospitalization data—a crucial metric of the COVID-19 pandemic—is, for now, unreliable, and likely an undercount.” Yikes.Yesterday, I found myself wondering about GRTC’s ridership numbers now that we’re several months into both a pandemic and a region-wide experiment with zero fares. The best place to get this data is from the most recent GRTC board meeting packet, and you can download July’s right here(PDF). Friends, you will not be disappointed with this PDF—it’s filled with all kinds of interesting information. As for ridership, though, compared to last June, GRTC has seen about a 23% drop. This sounds like a lot, but keep two things in mind: 1) Other cities across the country have shed a devastating number of riders—the CTA in Chicago, for example, saw a 72% drop in bus ridership back in April (PDF); and 2) A big chunk of the lost ridership in Richmond can be attributed to the Pulse. Compared to last year at this time, Pulse ridership is down 44% (74,970) while local service (all the other buses that are not express buses) have only seen an 11% drop (58,074). What This All Means™, I think, is that folks who ride the bus in Richmond are both filling essential, front-line jobs that are impossible to do in a work-form-home situation and that Richmond’s bus riders don’t have a ton of other easy transportation options. Keep that in mind when we start talking about “bringing folks back to public transportation,” because a lot of people never had the option to leave.Also in this PDF, check out page 20 for a really fascinating choose-two situation that regional elected officials must navigate next year to avoid a projected GRTC budget deficit. Leaders must choose (at least) two of the following to balance GRTC’s upcoming budget: 1) Get the region to pay for some of the more regionally-focused routes through the newly-created Central Virginia Transportation Authority—an authority which should kick off meeting soon and will generate an as-yet-unknown (at least to me) amount of money; 2) Restore some of the cash that both Richmond and Henrico cut from their GRTC allocations last year as they anticipated that sweet, sweet CVTA money; 3) Reinstate fares; or 4) cut existing bus service. I know I keep saying this about all kinds of issues, but every candidate for mayor and City Council should be asked how they will handle this choose-two. #4 is unacceptable, should be disqualifying, and candidates need to know that.Finally, starting on page 23 there’s a really interesting couple of slides about the need for some sort of downtown bus transfer center. Personally, I think GRTC’s preferred site on the block bounded by 9th, Leigh, 8th, and Clay is too far from the Pulse Stations at Broad and 9th, and I would prefer a modern transit mall instead of a big urban bus barn thing. But! I cannot underline, highlight, and high-five this sentence more: “[The] Downtown Transfer Center needs a City of Richmond champion and inclusion in Richmond planning process.” Yes! The City needs transportation staff who live, breath, lead on this stuff and deeply integrate it into every nook and cranny of civic decision-making. Think back to the recent Richmond 300-related Coliseum Framework Plan survey I had y’all fill out. It barely even mentioned public transit! This in a plan to reshape the area of town with literally the most public transit in the entire Central Virginia region! One could say that Richmond desperately needs a Department of Transportation. One would be right!Ali Rockett at the RTD has a lengthy update on the Richmond Police Department’s use-of-force report. RPD updated the report on the 17th to include 74 new incidents where officers used force, and almost all of those involved the recent protests. In the same piece, Rockett also has a good recap of this week’s Public Safety committee meeting where the resolution asking RPD to stop using chemical weapons got pushed back until September.Now that the Atlantic Coast Pipeline is off the table, what happens to all of the land Dominion and Duke Energies acquired to build it? This is a good question, and Sarah Vogelsong at the Virginia Mercury has the answer. Turns out, it’s super complicated and will probably involve a bunch of lawyers.RVAHub’s Richard Hayes has this great then-and-now post featuring the Southern Railway passenger station that sits right off the Manchester side of the 14th Street Bridge. Check out the one picture featuring pedestrians, cars, electric trolleys, and trains—that’s serious multimodal!This morning’s longreadMarmalade: A Very British ObsessionWarning! This is a really charming piece about marmalade!The dark wood-panelled dining room is quiet, heavy with concentration. Around the room, six pairs of judges sit at tables crowded with glass jars. As the light catches the jars they glow amber, saffron, primrose. The only real sounds are the murmurs as the pairs of judges consult, and the regular pop! of sterilized jars as they open. Occasionally, there is the tap of a pen against glass, signifying that a gold medal has been awarded, followed by quiet applause or cheers depending on how sugar-drunk the judges are. This is the judging room of the World’s Original Marmalade Awards, an annual event in Penrith, England, in the English Lake District.If you’d like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol’ Patreon.

Have I mentioned how much fun it really is doing the radio thing?  Sunday and Wednesday nights are generally spent drinking beer, shooting the breeze, and listening to music with some of the coolest people in town, in my humble opinion.  Now we've add live-in-my-home concerts from some of my favorite players!?  Do you have any idea how brutal this makes my Mondays and Thursdays at the day job?  Long time listeners of the show will remember Junk Box Mike and John Boyer's first appearance on Indy In-Tune, as Junk Box Mike and band, where collectively we were the first podcast to be recorded in, and the first people forcibly ejected from, the Palladium in Carmel.  Now they become the first guests to actually perform all of their tracks live for the podcast.  Don't worry, if you missed the live performance, you'll get a chance to hear it replayed during that "Monday Night Live" thing I'm still trying to get worked out.  OTR, as opposed to JBM, features high energy bluegrass-influenced music played with the precision of two excellent musicians and occasionally joined by some of the finest supplemental players in the metro area.  Even if bluegrass isn't your thing -- and I have to admit that beyond a a casual appreciation and respect it really isn't mine --  these guys will make believers out of you.
