Hey Fran! The meeting starts at 6:00 but we have early sign in at 5:30, similar to how we used to have dinner at 5:30 in person.

Just gives an opportunity for people to get comfortable and say hi.

Rich Dad Poor Dad Audible/book

I just finished Schitt's Creek. Very funny and unexpectedly wholesome

The Three Body Problem book trilogy

The news is overwhelming sometimes but I highly recommend the What a Day podcast. Super short and informative and goes up daily.

Coast is a British docu-series all about the British coastline. I found it on the BritBox app.

Game -- Uno with my 3-year old son; Book -- "September Society" (a "locked door" mystery for any mystery fans)

Podcast- Hidden Brain

@spencer is Coast a nature documentary?

Love, Death, & Robots - animated sci-fi shorts mostly based on short stories. I like that they’re all only 10-15 minutes long.

Each episode has a different theme. Some of them are more nature in focus, but others look at history, culture, economy, etc.

I'll check that out! That seems really interesting

"One Cut of the Dead" — Japanese horror(ish) movie about a film crew that finds themselves in the middle of a real zombie apocalypse.

Also @Alison Uno is a very important life skill haha

zombies are where it is at

And my 9yo daughter and I have been reading the Earthsea books, which I haven't read since I was her age, and I'm enjoying them even more now.

I heard someone say (John Hodgman --- podcast) that with COVID19 is where we all are the zombies because of how much we don't know about it and how easily it is transmitted.

What is a local business that you have used during stay-at-home that you want to recommend to the group? Type in the chat!

La Colombe mail order has been a lifesaver

I'm in NJ, Red Lobster and Olive Garden Curbside.

Wake Coffee in Ambler has delivered coffee within just a few hours of ordering. Karamoor Winery is also delivering wine in the area

Art in the Age in Old City.

Giordano Produce does the $35 essential box of produce with free dlivery for certain zip codes in Philly

Square Pie in Queen Village has delicious Detroit-style pizza

Revolution Roasters (coffee) in Collingswood is a lifesaver over here.

Grove- home delivered cleaning supplies :)

tt \7 .;

I need to try square pie. I'm more of a Santuchi's person in Bella Vista/Queen Village

Now we just need home delivery on high quality bagels.

I really wish that our local ice cream shop were open. My family has made a weekly habit of ordering take-out — far more often than we typically do — from all the independent restaurants that are still open, and that we really hope survive,

Grove delivery... LOL

@Benjamin good tip on seafood.

Gaffney Fabrics near me in Germantown has been constantly busy, with appropriately physically distanced lines.

@Morgan, I was all for Santucci's until I made the leap to Square Pie

Here is the last link posted on the previous slide- DVRPC Bicycle and Pedestrian Travel Monitoring: https://www.dvrpc.org/Traffic/BikePedTravelMonitoring/

I've triggered that exact counter a bunch of times this month!

Can animals accidentally trigger the counter?

It looks like you are not alone Soren :)

Yeah, that 202 trail increase is not a surprise at all. I've been running on that trail after 9pm periodically for several years. Last month was the first time I've ever seen another person running that late.

Street Light: https://www.streetlightdata.com/

Thanks for the comment, Michael! We were going to ask all attendees to answer a similar question that addresses that...

Is there a specific street where you've noticed dangerous levels of speeding? Let us know the limits (e.g. Delaware Ave. from Frankford to Aramingo) and we'll try to take a look.

In other words, not even COVID has managed to fix the [expletive] that is Roosevelt Blvd.

Chestnut St, S. 59th St

my dog is a serious lap dog.... so he usually starts to pop up in the afternoon.

Thank you Eva! For those who have not answered yet, here is the question again

Is there a specific street where you've noticed dangerous levels of speeding? Let us know the limits (e.g. Delaware Ave. from Frankford to Aramingo) and we'll try to take a look.

Yes, it’s always nice to see your dog make a guest appearance Alison :-)

I also wonder if Septa can start the bus at different blocks. My friend's home care worker had to wait 90 minutes for the bus to get to work

Will Covid affect regional transportation development investment plans already in place? Will that be a new discussion for DVRPC, reallocation of transportation funding now that travel patternshas changed so drastically?

@eva - I’m sure we will have to rethink a lot of things! I’m hoping if more people work from home, we won’t need to spend $ to address road congestion, and maybe we could spend more to make space for safe walking and biking.

For air quality forecasts: www.airqualitypartnership.org

Thanks, Shawn!

Wet, windy and cold weather affects if ozone develops, and particulate matter staying in the air and being caught by an air quality station.

And our weather over the last 2 months has been fairly wet, colder than usual, and windy.

Now that citizens are spending more time within their communities and neighborhoods, will DVRPC offer grants and assistance to improve recreational and mobility in these spaces? In other words, my neighborhood desperately needs sidewalk improvements and street crossing improvements more than ever and could really use those excess trans funding to do it.

May be some good models from Roosevelt's administration.

Our trading partners on the East Coast are typically South America and Europe.

Or at least in the Philadelphia area.

Later question, but my job is distributing food to seniors/disabled who can't physically make it to the food pantry. Is there a way to fully look at food deserts and where they are and in relation to poverty/disability/age of residents

Thank you DVRPC staff for all you do!

Thank you all!

Well Done, good discussion.

THANK YOU!
