Elm Ave Park & Ride – CDTA

The Elm Avenue Park and Ride offers a convenient way to get downtown without the hassles of urban traffic. Located next to the Elm Avenue Park at the end of the Delmar Bypass (NY 32), it is serviced by several buses that will quickly transport you downtown.

There is a new, expanded schedule for the Elm Avenue Park and Ride. 5 morning buses depart there, 5 buses in the afternoon plus a mid-day bus schedule. Very convenient. http://www.cdta.org/uploads/Route719.pdf

It’s a gas

I remember when Hurricane Katrina hit and gas prices were like $2.15 a gallon and I was like, damn that’s expensive. A decade and half later, that’s what gas still costs. Gasoline is such an odd commodity.

Cloverleafs have fallen out of popularity due to the dangerous weaving conditions they create.

The Rochester Arterials were in many cases built early on in the Interstate era and have a lot of problems with weaving conditions and left handed exits and merges. Newer designs are better and they’ve been fixing them in recent decades.

Another interesting thing is the sharp curve at South Goodman Street on Interstate 490 – this is due to a sharp bend in the original Erie Canal which 490 follow, although they round a bit of the curve when they built the Interstate.

At the Can of Worms, the route of I 590 follows the original Erie Canal south bend – the sharp bend to the south from I 490 to I 590 was a feature of the Canal.

‘Atlantic’ journalist Alexis Madrigal says millions of at-home saliva tests for COVID could be the key to life returning to normal — even if the tests are less accurate than the traditional PCR tests. We talk about the advantages and disadvantages of different kinds of testing, and what it would take for the government to fund and manufacture millions of daily tests. “I think what’s happened in the U.S. has been so catastrophic on so many levels — economically, psychologically, educationally — that we have to be at least willing to entertain the idea of a fairly radical plan that could work,” Madrigal says.
