Reply to comment by BureauOfBureaucrats in Main Street paving between 15th and 25th by SnowWhitesBox

Tend to agree, especially after hearing about how the traffic lights are being retimed. I don’t know if they have done the ones on Main yet downtown going into VCU but uhhh they could be done better.

And just in response to your other comment, I also ran into a dead end at 15th street, went right and took half an hour to get down to Dock and take a left. Absolute madhouse. Glad I have the opportunity to WFH the rest of this week, because I am not putting up with that again

Yeah these are all good points. I suppose I would agree I’d rather the city do it cost-effectively than not, I would also say just more information about what is coming would be nice.

Can confirm Dock Street tends to be awful in general, gotta say the 64-Nine Mile-31st route sounds circuitous as hell, but I have been needing to go to Walmart… might do that tomorrow

Good luck man. It definitely doesn’t help the same geniuses that thought this would be a good idea also have Cary Street closed between 15th and 18th.

Again, not a traffic planner, but if I didn’t know any better I would expect all the official documents associated with this to be written in crayon.

I feel like I was born in peak Pokémon times (1997) but I can honestly say I never played the games, watched the show, got the cards, nothing. Feel like I might have missed out on a cultural moment.

Reply to Dominion asks to reinstate surcharge for Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, boosting bills by VCUBNFO

Hmmm almost like RGGI is a back door tax on electricity that doesn’t do what it purports to do. Not saying the revenue isn’t going to a good purpose, but I think even the most stalwart defenders of the VCEA would admit that screwing over ratepayers is not what they had in mind.

Unfortunately, it’s nearly impossible to articulate this opinion without being condemned by one environmentalist group or the other.

Reply to 'Dolly is part of the answer': Advocates spread Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library free-book program throughout Virginia by pot_of_hot_koolaid

Favorite part of this article is the note about many of these kids not knowing who Dolly Parton is other than the books. As a fan of her music, I have to say I love this the most. Really tugs the heartstrings.

The best thing you can do for children is introduce them to reading at an early age, and continue to support their development. I am eternally grateful that my parents made sure to introduce me to books at an early age, I don’t think I would be where I am at today without that.
