COVID-19 update, Monday, May 18
Summary
: Another sign we’re living in the Upside Down — it was raining/sprinkling most of the morning and it was almost entirely green on traffic map when I grabbed the screenshot at 12:12 p.m. today. of Recovery: Metro has a four-phase plan to restore bus and rail service as more of our region hopefully can open safely in the coming weeks and months. The agendas for the Metro Board of Directors’ committee meetings this Wednesday and Thursday are posted and perusing agency staff reports will almost certainly wake you up. of Public Spaces: The city of Pasadena (I’m a resident, btw) last week reopened the walking/running path around the Rose Bowl from 6 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. and took the extra move of closing the streets next to the 3.1-mile path to give walkers, runners and cyclists more physical distancing room. •The Washington Post has an article headlined “Transit workers are paying a heavy price during the pandemic” that is well worth reading.
