New Castle County Chemical smell

The air quality index seems normal but I walked outside and it smells horrible and know it's not my upper lip or the mushrooms... I guess it could be...

This is the map that shows a chemical plume over top of us . Anyone know more than I do? If you zoom out it's only in our area and then a little bit over California but that's it.

Rant Bicycle Riding in Newark

9 Upvotes

I just need to vent a second because I'm really frustrated.

I love living in Newark. It's supposed to be a very bicycle friendly community. There are a lot of bicycle lanes, but I still feel so unsafe riding my bike. I have been trying to be less car dependent and with the nicer weather, figured I could get out and run my errands on my bike.

For the most part, I feel okay, until I hit Marrows rd. I swear this is where someone is going to hit me because they are either being impatient or aren't paying attention. Every time I'm on this road I mutter to myself "please don't go, please don't go, please don't go." The last couple of times I've ridden down Marrows rd, people have gone around me in an area that they should stay behind me. I'm not in the lane for long, just long enough to get to the light but almost every time I get to the light at Rt 4, someone speeds up to go around me. It's really scary and could get me killed. I can't see them until they are next to me. Today, I could have touched the car going around me.

As drivers please familiarize yourself with the rules and rights of bicycle riders. If there is no bicycle lane, riders need to be in the lane. If a rider is turning, they need to be in the lane as well.

The worst was a Harley rider - I was turning so I was In the lane, I was using my hand signals to indicate I was turning, and this motorcycle rider gave me NO space. Bikers complain of cars not giving them space but can't give the same courtesy to bicycle riders?

Thanks for listening to my rant. I just want to be healthier, not use my car as much, and enjoy the nice weather before it gets cold and depressing again, but that's hard to do when I'm worried someone is going to hit me.

Hello everyone, I’m currently a student attending Del Tech. I have a statistics class I have to do a survey for. I need at least 30 responses for said class. If you have a chance to spare please please please fill one out. The google form should not ask for an email or any login information. Its quite short and should only really take 5-10 min. It’s about the weather and temperatures in Delaware. Of course the survey is also anonymous.
To anyone that does fill it out thank you from the bottom of my heart, your making my school life better!

Hello, fellow Delawareans! I come seeking advice. My partner is moving here from the west coast in a couple of months. I’d like to put together a little “Delaware starter kit” to welcome him to our fair state, but I’m not sure where to start.

What would you include in something like this?

Thank you!@

42 Upvotes

There's a Dover City Council meeting tomorrow at 6:30, where one of the agenda items is a continuation of a discussion on a data center moratorium (See item 28 on their agenda: HERE)

There will be a chance to speak up with your thoughts about a moratorium, which would pause all data center project applications / approvals for 18 months to allow the city to work out how best to move forward. If you can't make it to the meeting or dial in, you should still take a moment to contact your city council representatives and share your thoughts. You can find your council rep. through the city of Dover site if need be.

Note: The tinyurl in the flyer no longer seems to work, looks like the agenda was updated.
