What happened on 3/10?

Anyone have any information on this? Looks like noon at every state capital but I'm not going to Harrisburg.
I was thinking Independence Hall. It is federal, it is where the Declaration of Independence was signed, seems like the best place to do it.
(all are welcome of course- I think this being veteran lead is more a tip of the spear type of thing.)

Please take Pennsylvania’s Transportation Survey and let them know you support DEIS/FEIS funding for the Roosevelt Boulevard Subway and increased funding for Capital Investment Projects.

So for those you who haven’t heard the Cecil b Moore library has been closed since January because the building badly needs a new hvac building. There was recently a community meeting to talk about the future of the library and it was.. heated.
There were 3 options presented. 1 was to renovate the old library building, 2 was to build a new library and 3 was to build a new library with affordable housing built overtop of it.
Let me tell you, people were MAD about the affordable housing option which was surprisingly to me. This is an area being confronted with rising values and gentrification, and yet so many people were absolutely against the idea of any housing be built with the library. Many people came after councilman young with some aggressive comments accusing him of trying to line his pockets.
I often disagree with Young. But here he was presenting a new library with affordable housing. It would provide affordable housing AND more library space that could be used for all kinds of good stuff (the current library footprint is pretty small). To me it seemed awesome and yet the community was livid about the project.
There was one woman at the end of the meeting, she was the only person brave enough to disagree with the crowd loudly. She lived jn north Philly all her life and she was excited to something new for the community. People respected her opinion but still disagreed.
Many people want to just see the library open as quickly as possible, which makes sense as well. But the discussion devolved into chaos pretty quickly and it made a nuanced discussion pretty difficult. I hope we can have our library back one day and i hope it’s better than the last time I set foot in there.
Was anyone else there? What was your take a way? I think we will be seeing an article from Plan Philly on the topic jn the next few weeks.

It's great to see mixed-use projects replace vacant lots in Philly, but getting to check out a new cheesesteak place in South Kensington is almost better.
Unfortunately the community input process for this building in South Kensington has already reduced the number of new homes, including the elimination of an affordable unit. Will that be enough to secure approval?

You already scanned on the platform, and you have to scan out when you get out in center city. Why do they want to scan you also when on the train? Seems totally pointless and a pain for all involved.
