A recent study confirmed low levels of the parasite in these snails, marking the first detection in Georgia. Apple and mystery snails, illegal to possess since 2023, disrupt ecosystems and pose health risks. Preventing their spread involves cleaning boats and gear, avoiding aquarium dumping, and not releasing non-native species. Learn more at GeorgiaWildlife.com/ans.

Holly's Headlines 8a 1/13/25
The City of Knoxville's quest to secure federal funding for the planned pedestrian bridge ended successfully last week with an award of $24.7 million from the Transportation Department. On this week's episode of Compass Points, Scott goes into the details of the project and the next steps. He also takes a deep dive into a $27.6 million contract for cameras, software, a records management system and the Real Time Information Center for the Knoxville Police Department — and the tumultuous City Council meeting where the agreement gained approval. Other topics include the school board's vote not to support vouchers as one of its legislative priorities.
The city of Knoxville will learn the fate of two bridge projects in the coming weeks. In this week's episode of the Compass Points podcast, Scott takes a look at repairs to the closed Gay Street Bridge and a third bite at the federal funding apple for the proposed pedestrian bridge connecting the South Waterfront to UT. Also: We take a look at the year ahead in local government and education, the pending demolition of the historic Pryor Brown Garage, a "rails-to-trails" project and Knoxville's status as a "housing hotspot." Scott will also preview meetings of the Knox County Board of Education, City Council and the Knoxville-Knox County Planning Commission.
Should it really involve jail time as a result? https://www.lehtoslaw.com

Jon Bon Jovi and his team talked a woman down from a ledge on a Pedestrian Bridge in downtown Nashville on Tuesday... Bon Jovi was filming a music video on the bridge, which was open to the public during the shoot. In a video posted by MNPD, a woman wearing a blue shirt is seen over the ledge of the bridge with her arms wrapped around its railing. The video shows Bon Jovi and a production assistant walking along the bridge, over to the woman... and ultimately saving her life.

We'll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you're looking for Community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Commercial: CU of GA STORY 1: Man Charged with Holding Woman Hostage at Woodstock Apartment A man in Woodstock has been charged with holding a woman hostage following a standoff with authorities at a Woodstock apartment. Woodstock PD and Cherokee Sheriff's Office responded to a call reporting a hostage situation. The Cherokee County Multi-Agency SWAT Team was deployed, and negotiation attempts were made. When the suspect refused to engage, SWAT officers entered the apartment. No injuries were reported during the incident. The suspect, William Scott Kirk II, 34, was arrested and charged with kidnapping, aggravated assault, and false imprisonment. He was booked into Cherokee County jail without bond. Woodstock Police Chief Robert Jones commended the swift and effective response of law enforcement in resolving the situation peacefully. STORY 2: Design Contract Approved for Pedestrian Bridge in Canton The Canton City Council has approved a design contract for the construction of a new pedestrian bridge in the Sunnyside community. The $810,800 contract with Practical Design Partners will facilitate the Canton Creek pedestrian bridge and sidewalk improvement project. The bridge will span Canton Creek parallel to the Marietta Road Bridge. The project aims to enhance pedestrian access to the Salvation Army and Family Dollar development on the west side of Marietta Road. Funding includes a $2.2 million grant from the Governor's Office of Planning and Budget. Once design work is complete, construction bids will be solicited, with the project expected to take around a year to finalize designs, environmental tasks, surveys, and right-of-way plans. This initiative addresses a need identified during the Canton Transportation Master Plan development.

The schedule includes ceremonies for i-Grad Virtual Academy, Etowah High School, Creekview High School, Cherokee High School, River Ridge High School, Woodstock High School, and Sequoyah High School. Expect increased traffic in the area starting May 22 due to graduation practices and heavier traffic before and after the ceremonies.

In this episode, the FAQ is: How can I take a walking tour when I arrive in a city? . Today's Destination is: Chattanooga, Tennessee Today's Misstep- Getting stopped by TSA security Travel Advice: Plan for the unexpected FAQ: How can I get the walking tour when I get to a city? Response: A guided walking tour of a city is a treat for a solo traveler, especially for a woman who is interested in its history. The more popular ones are through platforms like Viator, TripAdvisor, Airbnb, and FreeWalkingtoursbylocals.com, but there are many ways to score a tour from someone who truly cares about the experience for you. Be sure to read the reviews and book in advance during a busy season. Some are free, and suggest a tip at the end if you liked it. Your hotel could also gook you a tour. The Visitor Center or Tourism office can also give you guidance on this. You may also find a walking tour app for a self-guided tour, with maps and points of interest. You can GPS my city or check Detour. I found some walking tours on YouTube that were pretty fun to watch also. https://freewalkingtoursbylocals.com/ Today's destination: Chattanooga, Tennessee My first visit here was in 1974, on a bus of young women heading to Florida. It was called Junior Trip. We were 80 women, two bus loads. I remember very little about Chattanooga from that visit. I returned to see it in 2024, which made a more significant impression. This time, I was visiting the future Dr. Travelbest, who lives there now. We are currently working on a Planner for travel guidance, so look for that in the future. It's a central travel hub, especially for the railroads. A bridge crosses the railroad tracks, which are dozens of tracks wide. It may be one of the largest railroad hubs that I have experienced. You can see the city and the Moccasin Bend from the infamous Lookout Mountain. Listen to the episode on Chickamauga to learn about President Abraham Lincoln's campaign to gain control of the South in the 1860s. It was a place of both Confederate and Union victories. https://www.visitchattanooga.com/things-to-do/ https://www.visitchattanooga.com/plan/transportation/ The Zoo was a highlight, with a giraffe named George gladly accepting lunch from my hands to his 18-inch tongue. It seems that George loves romaine lettuce. Who would have guessed that? That experience was a treat. Kids like it, too. An assortment of other animals makes for a few hours of seeing wildlife at the Chattanooga Zoo. Walk across the Pedestrian Bridge and the riverfront along the Tennessee River to get a flavor of the city. I walked the bridge at night, and it was a sparkling river with no watercraft because the weather was rainy and threatened winds. The Northshore District has trendy boutiques, galleries, and food choices; you can walk everywhere. You can also learn much about the Civil War from an organized guided walking tour of the area. I did get to see the historic train station, the Chattanooga Choo Choo. Parts of the terminal building were recently sold, so check the show notes for the latest. https://www.local3news.com/local-news/preserve-chattanooga-sells-part-of-chattanooga-choo-choo-complex/article_a8d7781e-dbe5-11ee-abba-0b98f22b8f70.html I also enjoyed Ruby Falls and will create a special episode about that destination soon. On my next visit, I plan to Explore the Tennessee Aquarium and dive into the fascinating world of marine life at one of the top-rated aquariums in the country. From river otters to penguins, the Tennessee Aquarium showcases various aquatic animals. I did a few hikes on this trip, but most of the days, it rained, so I will return and hike more. Chattanooga is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. You can go hiking on nearby trails like Stringers Ridge or Raccoon Mountain or try rock climbing at the Tennessee Wall, if you have that talent, or just go and watch the climbers. Next time I come, I may also Attend a Performance at the Tivoli Theatre: Catch a show at the beautifully restored Tivoli Theatre, which hosts concerts, Broadway shows, and ballets. My last item on the next time list is to Relax at Coolidge Park: Spend a leisurely afternoon at Coolidge Park, located along the riverfront. Picnic in the grass, ride the antique carousel, or simply enjoy the scenic views. Today's Misstep- Getting stopped by TSA security How did I know that carrying a squash in my bag would keep me from getting through security the first time? It took an extra five minutes to get my bag checked. And then I did it again. I brought a squash on a second trip, and TSA stopped me for a short while Next time, don't bring fresh squash on the trip in your carry on. Today's Travel Advice- Plan for the unexpected. There's no such thing as being fully prepared, so prepare for what could happen, and in your mind how you may deal with that.

Standing or stopping is now banned on pedestrian bridges on the Las Vegas Strip where visitors often pause to take photos amid the glittery casino lights or to watch street performers. Violators of the ordinance that took effect January 16 could face up to six months in jail or a $1,000 fine. Clark County commissioners voted unanimously last month to approve the measure prohibiting people from “stopping, standing or engaging in an activity that causes another person to stop” on Strip pedestrian bridges. That also includes up to 20 feet (6 meters) surrounding connected stairs, elevators and escalators. The ban doesn't include standing or stopping if a person is waiting to use an elevator, stairway or escalator. Clark County said in a statement that its “pedestrian flow zone ordinance” isn't meant to target street performers or people who stop to take pictures, but rather to increase public safety by ensuring a continuous flow of pedestrian traffic across the bridges. The measure “will help to ensure our world-class tourism destination remains a safe place for people to visit and transverse,” the statement said. But opponents say that the ban violates rights protected by the First Amendment. “That might mean the right to protest. That might mean someone who's sharing expressions of their faith. That might mean a street performer,” Athar Haseebullah, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada, said. Those rights, he said, are “protected at their highest level” in public spaces, including pedestrian bridges. The county said it planned to install signs on the Strip identifying locations where stopping or standing is prohibited. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Davis. The Centers for Disease Control now regard the COVID-19 Community Level to be low for Albemarle County and Charlottesville. This morning the Virginia Department of Health reports another 1,340 new cases and the seven-day average for percent positivity is now at 3.3 percent. There is a subvariant of the Omicron virus that is leading to new surges across the world including Hong Kong. That’s a place where Dr. Costi Sifri of the UVA Health System said has not yet experienced much community spread because of an early zero tolerance policy.“It is causing significant stress to their health system,” Sifri said. “There is this view that Omicron is less virulent than other COVID variants.”However, Dr. Sifri said that Hong Kong also has low vaccine rates providing a population base through which the Omicron subvariant can spread. “Here in the United States we’re seeing an increasing amount of B.A.2, the sister subvariant of the original Omicron strain,” Dr. Sifri said. “It’s growing in proportion nationwide. In our region it’s about 30 to 35 percent or so of all isolates.”Dr. Sifri said this subvariant is not as virulent, but does appear to be more transmissible and that it will become the dominant strain in a matter of weeks. Dr. Sifri said a local spike could happen as mask requirements are dropped and as more social gatherings.“I don’t think that’s guaranteed so I think there is also a possibility we could just reach a plateau at least for the near-term,” Dr. Sifri said. “And of course, things may change if there is a new variant that emerges somewhere in the world that is able to essentially escape the protection that boosters and vaccinations have provided.”As of today, 72.7 percent of Virginians are fully vaccinated, but only 2.9 million booster doses have been administered. There’s still no word yet on whether an additional dose will be needed for the general population or just those who are at higher risk of developing a virulent infection.There are 76 new cases in the Blue Ridge Health District today. On March 16ths, Last week, the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors voted to end the local COVID emergency, paving the way for in-person meetings beginning next week with the Albemarle Board of Supervisors.UVA School of Architecture hires Associate Dean for equity and inclusionThe School of Architecture at the University of Virginia has hired its first ever Associate Dean for Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. C.L. Bohannon will take the position in late July as he also joins the faculty as an Associate Professor in the Landscape Architecture Department. Bohannon is currently the interim director of the School of Architecture and Design at Virginia Tech, as well as founder and director of the Community Engagement Lab. “I am enthusiastic to collaborate with faculty, students, staff, and communities across the Commonwealth as we contend with long-standing socio-environmental inequalities,” Bohannon said in a news release on the School of Architecture’s website. “I believe that as creative practitioners, we have the necessary critical and creative tools to redress harms that have come from design and planning and that we can work with congruent integrity and practice.”The Community Engagement Lab will come with Bohannon to UVA. Second shout-out goes to a March 29 event happening at MorvenIn today’s second subscriber supported shout-out, the Morven Summer Institute at Morven Farm wants you to know about a seminar coming up on March 29. How are UVA students, faculty, and community partners collaborating to tell the stories of Morven? Researcher Scot French has spent over ten years studying Morven’s history and will provide glimpses into a course he’ll be teaching this summer on Recovering the Stories of Morven’s Enslaved and Descendant Communities. The March 29 event is a chance for the public to get a preview of the four week course. If you’re interested, visit morven.virginia.edu to fill out an interest form. MPO selects Broadway Avenue / East Market location for pedestrian bridgeIf a bridge to cross the Rivanna River between Albemarle County and the Woolen Mills is ever built, the western end will be connected to East Market Street rather than Riverview Park. “It seems to me that the connection at the East Market Street provides an additional value or return on the investment in that it is connecting two activity centers from Pantops over to what’s being planned in that Broadway corridor,” said Albemarle Supervisor Ned Gallaway, the chair of the Metropolitan Planning Organization’s Policy Board.Transportation staff with the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission are working on an application for Smart Scale funding from the Virginia Department of Transportation for the project, which would have an eastern landing just to the west of the former State Farm regional headquarters. The MPO Policy Board voted 4-1 on March 24 to choose an alignment that would land at East Market Street. This alternative is more expensive with a preliminary cost estimate of $15.3 million compared to $11.3 million for the Chesapeake Street alignment. They also discussed whether the bridge should be “cable-stayed” or should be built on a “truss.” bridge. A cable-stayed bridge would require more maintenance, and there are questions about who would be responsible for the cost. “When we’re looking at new projects, we generally don’t try to promote or support projects that would provide an increased cost for maintenance when it’s not strictly necessary,” said Sean Nelson, the district engineer for VDOT’s Culpeper District. Nelson said if the cable-stayed bridge was selected, the localities would be asked to cover the additional maintenance. Albemarle Supervisor Ann Mallek wanted to know if that might affect the project’s Smart Scale score.“Getting something approved is my highest priority and I want to make sure that we are thinking about that rather than asking for the beautiful, blue crystal slipper,” Mallek said. “ Are we then not getting something at all then if we applied for the work boot?” The group opted to proceed with a truss bridge. No matter the type of bridge, the East Market / Broadway bridge would have two spans connected with a pier.City Councilor Brian Pinkston was the lone vote in favor of the Chesapeake Street option.“To me, if the least expensive, more likely to occur option is to have it at the park on the northern side,” Pinkston said. A majority of people on a stakeholder committee favored the Chesapeake Street option, as did the MPO-Technical Committee. More information needs to be gathered as part of a necessary environmental review and that will be gathered as the application is finalized. This includes impacts on historic sites well as the impact on the floodway. Nelson said one of the sites would provide more room for flexibility if the design needed to be amended to take into account potential impacts. “The Woolen Mills location there [are] more opportunities to mitigate at that location then at the other location,” Nelson said. Mallek said she supported the Woolen Mills option because of the county’s planning work. “There are things in the Broadway corridor which the county has been planning and working on for several years including more sidewalk connections and improvement of the connector road which would also benefit users of the bridge,” Mallek said. After Mayor Lloyd Snook offered his opinion, one member of the public who was on the call expressed their opinion.“I would vote for the southernmost route, the route that goes down to East Market,” Snook said. “Unbelievable,” said an unidentified voice in what may be one of the last awkward moments of the Zoom era of public meetings. Before the vote, nearby resident Jenny Milulski said she would have supported either option, but wanted the MPO to take Albemarle’s economic development planning efforts into account. “I just wanted to voice my enthusiasm for considering this project in tandem with the Broadway economic development plan,” Milukski said.The Albemarle Board of Supervisors recently received information about the Broadway Blueprint and the Economic Development Authority had a conversation about the document earlier this month (read the final study) Mikulski said the bridge would transform the way she thinks about where she lives.“For example it would only be a 1.5 mile walk from my house to the Kluge-Ruhe Museum,” Mikulski said. Currently that would be a three mile walk. Preliminary Smart Scale applications are due by the end of the month. A final application is due on August 1. The rankings will be released in late January.

Today is a day of twos but who is counting? And who wants to know that this is also the 33rd day of the new year? Many of our systems of measuring time are fairly arbitrary, but I can also tell you there are now 45 days until the equinox. What else can I tell you on this installment of Charlottesville Community Engagement? First, I’m Sean Tubbs. Second, you’ll just have to stick around for a bit.Charlottesville Community Engagement is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.On today’s program:A status update on planning for the Rivanna River Bike and Pedestrian BridgeA new group forms in Charlottesville to advocate for spending on public educationThe Senate Privileges and Elections Committee fails to recommend approval of Andrew Wheeler to be Virginia’s Secretary of Natural and Historic Resources Shout-out to the Charlottesville Jazz SocietyIn today’s first subscriber-supported public service announcement: The Charlottesville Jazz Society at cvillejazz.org is dedicated to the promotion, preservation, and perpetuation of all that jazz, and while this might not be the time to go out and listen people who love to play it’s a great time to learn about musicians in our area and get ready for the tunes of the future through their events calendar.

Bridgewater shootingThe website of Bridgewater College in Rockingham County contains a somber message today after two campus police officers were shot and killed yesterday afternoon. “Two members of the Bridgewater College family were senselessly and violently taken from us,” reads a message from President David Bushman. “The sadness is palpable. Words are not adequate, not nearly so, to express the grief, sadness, fear and—justifiably—the anger we all feel.”According to WHSV, Officer John Painter and Officer J.J. Jefferson were shot in the line of duty when they responded to a report of a suspicious individual on campus who shot them after a brief encounter. The 27-year-old suspect fled on foot and was apprehended and charged with two felony counts of murder. In his message, Bushman wrote that Painter and Jefferson were close friends and that grief counseling would be available. Bridgewater College is a private liberal arts college with an enrollment of about 1,800 students. Group wants support for education A new group has formed to promote public investment in Charlottesville City Schools. The launch of Charlottesville United for Public Education comes on the same day School Superintendent Royal Gurley Jr. will present the operating budget for city schools to the City Council. “The organization views the city’s budget planning season as an opportunity to rally behind much-needed investments for public schools,” reads the press release that went out this morning. According to the Virginia Department of Education, 46 percent of Charlottesville’s 4,265 students in 2020 were economically disadvantaged, and the organization says the city can do more to support public education.“Students in low-income families bear the hardship of decades-long disinvestment and need greater instructional, housing, health, and social supports to thrive,” the release continues.Visit the organization’s website at charlottesvilleunited.org to learn more. City Council’s joint work session begins at 5 p.m. today. (meeting info)Senate panel strips Youngkin’s environment pick from list of nominations for approvalThe General Assembly confirms gubernatorial appointments through the passage of resolutions. For instance, Senate Joint Resolution 83 covers agency heads and ranges from new Superintendent of Public Instruction Jillian Balow to Phil Wittmer, the new chief information officer for the Virginia Information Technologies Agency. SJ84 covers Cabinet -level position, from new Secretary of Veterans and Defense Affairs Craig Crenshaw through Andrew Wheeler, Governor Youngkin’s pick for Secretary of Natural and Historic Resources. The 15-member Senate Privileges and Elections Committee took up those two resolutions and a third on Tuesday. Because the Democratic Party has a slight majority in the Senate, they control the Committees. Wheeler’s nomination has been opposed by Democrats and an amendment was made to SJ84 to eliminate his name from approval. Senator Creigh Deeds (D-25) made this motion as soon as the committee took up the resolution yesterday. “Mr. Chairman, I move that we amend Senate Joint Resolution 84 to remove lines 42 and 43,” Deeds said. That would end the resolution to approve the late up to George Slater, Youngkin’s pick for Secretary of Labor. Republican members of the Committee wanted to debate the amendment. Here’s an exchange between Senator Ryan McDougle (R-4) and Deeds.McDougle:“It’s clear that the Committee is stacked 9 to 6 and in a non-partisan way what’s going to happen we should at least have a conversation about it.”Deeds:“We’ve received a letter from 150 former [Environmental Protection Agency] employees who suggested that Mr. Wheeler had undermined the work of the EPA and worked against the environmental interests of this country. We think that members of the Governor’s Cabinet ought to be people that unite us as Virginians and certainly the Secretary of Natural and Historic Resources ought to be one one that we have confidence in in terms of working for the preservation and conservation of our natural and historic resources and on this side of the aisle we don’t have that level of confidence with this nominee.”Senator Bryce Reeves read from Wheeler’s resume.Reeves: “He completed his law degree at Washington University and when he served as the administration’s EPA principal, all the things that he’s done, he gave $225 million in funding for water reuse projects to protect the [Chesapeake Bay], provided $200 million for wastewater infrastructure to prevent runoff and sewage from reaching the Bay, provided funding to Pennsylvania agencies to address agricultural runoff. In 2020 the Bay attained the lowest dead zone in 30 years and underwater seagrasses have increased 34,000 to 100,000 acres. Air emissions decreased seven percent during the last administration and these reductions were pre-COVID. I could just go on and on and on.”However, Senator Deeds said the Republicans failed to approve an appointment by Governor Tim Kaine in 2006. According to Virginia Memory, Kaine had nominated Daniel LeBlanc to serve as Secretary of Commonwealth, but the House of Delegates blocked used the same procedure to remove LeBlanc in a vote taken on March 7, 2006. (SJ186 from 2006)“The precedent has been set,” Deeds said. This is not the end of Wheeler’s nomination. There are many scenarios in which confirmation could still occur. Stay tuned! In other General Assembly information, let’s talk about some bills that won’t be moving forward this year but have been continued to next year:SB255 would have removed the ability of localities to regulate cell towersSB132 would have allowed localities to designate smoking areas in their parks, playgrounds, and recreation centersHB898 would have reduced penalties for possession of hallucinogenic substancesSeveral Constitutional amendments have been passed on for the year, including term limits for General Assembly members (SJ7) and one that would require a Governor to call a special session in order to extend a state of emergency (SJ36). More to come. Shout-out to a February 8 talk on Jackson P. Burley High You’re listening to Charlottesville Community Engagement and it’s time now for another subscriber supported shout-out. On February 8, the author of a book about the history and legacy of Jackson P. Burley High School will give a talk at the Center at Belvedere. Lucille Smith has written Unforgettable: Jackson P. Burley High School 1951-1967, which tells the story of the school that was built for Black students across the region when schools were required by law to be racially segregated. But the book also tells the stories of the students and families who have sought to keep alive the memories. The event begins at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, February 8 at the Center at Belvedere. Learn more at thecentercville.org. Decision point looming for Rivanna Bike and Pedestrian Bridge At any given point there are dozens of candidates for transportation projects in the community. In recent years, Charlottesville has been successful in seeking funding for streetscape projects to add bike lanes, sidewalks, and other urban amenities. The next deadline for Smart Scale funding process through the Virginia Department of Transportation is coming up later this year and one of the projects under consideration is a bridge for pedestrians and bicyclists that would cross the Rivanna River. (most recent presentation)Dick Ruffin is a member of the Pantops Community Advisory Committee and serves on a stakeholder committee that is overseeing planning efforts for the Rivanna bridge. “It’s good for Albemarle County, it’s good for the city, and most especially I think it’s good for connectivity,” Ruffin said.Ruffin said the project would put a focus on the Rivanna River and will build off of a technical document created by the firm VHB in July 2020. “We’ve tried to sort of the pros and cons of the different alignments of the bridge and we are supposed to provide some guidance to the Charlottesville-Albemarle planning office,” Ruffin said. That office is technically the Thomas Jefferson Planning District, which is overseeing the planning and will make the Smart Scale submission to VDOT. “It does have to be [Americans with Disabilities Act] accessible,” Ruffin said. “We want connectivity to the trails on both sides of the river. There are utility impacts, floodplain considerations, right of way impacts. We’re quite focused also on the aesthetics. We want it to look nice and really be attractive. Of course, cost is a primary thing.” Ruffin said the group has not yet made a recommendation on which alignment would be made, but that will come in the near future. They are down to two alternatives.“Technical considerations have ruled out a number of options so when we say there are two left that’s after a lot of work,” Ruffin said. Both options would have an approach on the Albemarle side at the property formerly used by State Farm as their regional headquarters. The exact location for each depends on where it would land on the other side of the river. “One is quite near Riverview Park and would actually land on Chesapeake, the road you come down to get into the park,” Ruffin said. “The other would land at the Wool Factory just outside the tunnel that goes under the railway at the bottom of East Market Street.” The Chesapeake Street option has a preliminary cost estimate of $11. 3million. The Wool Factory option is more expensive with a $4 million differential. Ruffin said parking considerations are also a factor at both locations.“I think the Riverview Park folk who live near there are quite worried that the park will become so busy and so many people coming down that it will be destructive of their neighborhood,” Ruffin said. “So one consideration that we on the Pantops side should have in mind is that the State Farm takeoff point on Pantops has got a lot of space.”Ruffin said the project could score well on economic development, one of several criteria looked at in the Smart Scale process. The preliminary deadline is March 31 with a final one later in the year. A survey will be posted in the near future to get public opinion. Sandy Shackleford, the planning director for the Thomas Jefferson Planning District, said the Policy Board of the Charlottesville-Albemarle Metropolitan Planning Organization will need to select an alignment in March, which is their next regularly scheduled meeting. Albemarle Supervisor Ann Mallek took part in a recent site visit of the area.“The walkabout in the Woolen Mills was very informative because its really important to see at ground level,” Mallek said. Mallek said several ideas came up during the site visit, including ways to control traffic on East Market Street and how to alter the Riverview Park alignment to address a grade differential between the two sides. “I just want to make sure that that idea doesn’t get lost along the way,” Mallek said. Mallek suggested the MPO should have a meeting in February in order to be able to make an informed decision about the alignment. MPO Chair Ned Gallaway agreed.“There’s different options and a lot of people’s eyes on it that we want to make sure we’re as informed as we can be going into the meeting that we plan to make the vote on,” Gallaway said.

Good morning, RVA! It’s 59 °F, and we’ve got yet another gorgeous day ahead of us. You know the deal: Expect highs in the 70s and lots of sunshine. Looking forward, I think we’ll get to tack one more day on to our streak of excellent weather before clouds start rolling in over the weekend.Water coolerAs of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports 509↘️ new positive cases of the coronavirus in the Commonwealthand 12↘️ new deaths as a result of the virus. VDH reports 26↘️ new cases in and around Richmond (Chesterfield: 15, Henrico: 9, and Richmond: 2). Since this pandemic began, 379 people have died in the Richmond region. I finally put together a chart of the seven-day average of localpositive reported cases over on my public coronacounts Google Spreadsheet. You can see that the number of reported cases has trended down over the past month, and—despite blips here and there—Chesterfield, Henrico, and Richmond are all experiencing the same general numbers and trends. You can also see that, for whatever reason, Google decided to appropriately label the x-axis of this particular graph unlike literally every other chart I’ve ever tried to make with it.In his daily email, Superintendent Kamras announced that the new Richmond Public Schools daily schedules approved by the School Board earlier this week will take effect Tuesday, October 20th. If you’d like to learn more than what you can glean from the aforelinked Google Doc, head over to RPS’s Facebook page tonight at 5:30 PM to hear some folks from the Curriculum and Instruction Department discuss the updated schedule.Today the Urban Design Committee will take a look at the VCU Health System’s plan to build a pedestrian bridge stretching across the intersection of N. 11th & E. Marshall Streets (UDC 2020–16). Back in February, staff had lots of thoughts on the proposal (PDF, p. 4), and I always enjoy reading through their PDFs when they get thoughtful—especially about issues that impact pedestrians in one of our most pedestrian-dense parts of town. While I don’t love taking up a bunch of right-of-way with concrete pillars to support a bridge that most folks will never use, if I’m reading the drawings (PDF) correctly (and I’m terrible at engineering drawings), both 11th and Marshall will get curb bump outs to narrow the street, slow traffic, and make pedestrian crossings easier and safer. At the moment, staff recommends that UDC approve the project with the understanding that VCU Health System will “further study pedestrian flow and safety in the public right-of-way.”Ned Oliver at the Virginia Mercury reports on one of the police-reform bills working its way through the General Assembly. Oliver says the GA “sent a bill establishing rules for how police officers use chokeholds to Gov. Ralph Northam’s desk Wednesday after the Senate rejected a blanket ban on the maneuver and felony penalties proposed by lawmakers in the House of Delegates.” As with most things police-reform, the House wanted something more progressive than the Senate. One of my pals who understands the GA a lot better than I do frequently points out that the two chambers often have totally different vibes. Here’s said vibe difference on display!Richmond BizSense’s Mike Platania has a small update on the planned 12-story apartment building going in on the northwest corner of Broad & Lombardy Streets. What I really want to point out, though, is the final paragraph of Platania’s piece: “The Dollar Tree at 1510 W. Broad St. closed in recent months and is now listed as available for lease.” This is an excellent opportunity for the new occupant to work with the owner and close the western-most “garage” and open it up as a pass-through for people trying to walk, roll, or ride north on Lombardy. For whatever absolutely bananas reason, that building sits directly on the street and there’s no room for a sidewalk!Today at 12:00 PM on WRIR—that’s 97.3 FM on the radio—you can catch Sheri Shannon talking with four women in politics: Sen.

I’m thankful for that fly.This morning’s longreadThe All-or-Nothing Approach to Social Distancing Isn’t WorkingI’m probably guilty of the all-or-nothing approach to social distancing—although, with school starting, my family has begun unclench. Don’t get me wrong, we still keep our six feet of distance, but you might could find us in a park with friends or on a bike ride with pals.This apparent coronavirus fatigue is spurring some public health experts to call for more nuanced guidelines to help people avoid contagion. Their recommendations draw on a pragmatic model called harm reduction, which seeks to reduce the negative consequences of potentially risky activities, particularly drug use. Harm reduction emerged in the early 1990s during the AIDS crisis, and one of its key lessons “was that people had to think in terms of safer, not in terms of absolute safety, figuring out how to do activities that were essential to life,” says Daniel Wolfe, of the Open Society Foundations’ public health program.If you’d like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol’ Patreon.

A conversation with Peachtree Corners City Council Member Lorri Christopher, about Simpsonwood Park, the Pedestrian Bridge and so much more.
Results of three documents issued by the City of Lethbridge indicate that the river valley, albeit a beautiful force of nature, greatly reduces the ability for people to cross it other than by vehicle. The solution, already mentioned in two of the documents is to build a crossing that would span the coulees and eliminate the steep grades required to transit the valley. The Coulee Corridor Committee has already made a presentation to City Council to further explore this possibility. They have also discussed the project with several bridge designers, project managers, and the Deputy Secretary of Transportation for the US, who has a strong focus on Livable Communities and the role of Pedestrian Bridges. Possible site locations have been identified along with concepts to incorporate transit into a plan that outlines the many benefits Lethbridge citizens could enjoy. This exciting venture to build such an iconic structure that ultimately would be the highest and longest pedestrian bridge in Canada ought to stir a lot of discussion. The question is not can it be done……but rather, will it be done? Will the citizens of Lethbridge absorb the vision and embrace the concept? Speaker: Ron Bain Ron Bain is the former owner of Runner's Soul and has been a longtime proponent of healthy living and lifestyles. Over the years he has been an advocate for a pedestrian bridge that would eliminate the need to navigate the steep grades and one that would be accessible to all citizens regardless of age or physical ability. Ron is a past president of the Lethbridge Chamber of Commerce. A passionate organizer and supporter of numerous running events in Lethbridge, among them the annual Moonlight Run, Ron earned Lethbridge Sports Hall of Fame inductee status in 2007.
