										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Los vehículos deben moverse antes de una Operación de Levantamiento que implica la excavación, carga y remoción de nieve que actualmente se encuentra en la acera. Esta operación involucrará docenas de vehículos, incluyendo excavadoras y cargadores, lo que podría interrumpir temporalmente el tráfico.</p>
<p><strong>Habrá estacionamiento gratuito fuera de la calle disponible en el estacionamiento U, cerca del estadio Citizens Bank, entre las 7: 00 am y las 6:00 pm de este martes. Todos los vehículos estacionados en el estacionamiento U deben ser retirados antes de las 6:00 pm. </strong></p>
<p>El Streets Department insta a todos los que viajen cerca de esta operación de levantamiento, y otras que se llevan a cabo en Philadelphia, a planificar tiempo de viaje adicional, reducir la velocidad y ayudar a mantener a nuestros equipos seguros, brindándoles suficiente espacio para realizar su trabajo.</p>
<p>Para las Operaciones de Levantamiento en toda la ciudad, el Streets Department está desplegando más de 300 vehículos, cargadores frontales y excavadoras, organizados en 16 equipos.</p>

<p>Este trabajo consiste en excavar nieve de carreteras estrechas, recogerla en las calles principales cercanas, cargarla en camiones de volteo y luego transportarla a los depósitos de nieve de toda la ciudad.</p>
<p>Estas operaciones comenzaron al mediodía del domingo 26 de enero, cuando la nevada comenzó a disminuir luego de una gran tormenta invernal, y han continuado todos los días desde entonces.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Los baches se pueden describirse de diferentes maneras, molestos, dolorosos, problemáticos o lamentables. Los que si es un hecho cierto, es que son el defecto de carretera más reportado y arreglarlo en la ciudad de Philadelphia.</p>
<p>El <a href="https://www.phila.gov/departments/department-of-streets/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Streets Department</a> distingue tres defectos principales en la carretera: baches, zanjas y derrumbes, porque la forma en que se forma cada uno es diferente, lo que significa que las reparaciones tampoco son iguales.</p>
<h2><strong>¿Cómo se forman los baches?</strong></h2>
<p>Los baches son aberturas en forma de tazón que generalmente tienen bordes raveados y pueden tener hasta 10 pulgadas de profundidad. Se producen cuando la capa superior o el asfalto se ha desgastado, exponiendo la base de hormigón.</p>
<p>Una combinación de lluvia, o carreteras heladas en invierno, cambios rápidos en la temperatura y el clima, sal y arados constantes, y el tráfico pesado pueden contribuir a las grietas en la superficie de la carretera.</p>
<p>El agua de lluvia se filtra en esas grietas y se expande durante el clima de congelación y descongelación, causando hinchazón que desgasta las dos capas superiores de la superficie.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">When reporting a street defect to 311, please be as accurate as possible to expedite service. Examples include &quot;in parking/traffic lane, there is water in the hole, 1234 Main St, Broad and Arch Sts, 1200 blk of Main St&quot; <a href="https://t.co/1tJy8s4oMW">https://t.co/1tJy8s4oMW</a>. <a href="https://t.co/sCHGQSxe2i">pic.twitter.com/sCHGQSxe2i</a></p>
<p>&mdash; philastreets (@PhilaStreets) <a href="https://twitter.com/PhilaStreets/status/1758181951515570425?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 15, 2024</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>El Streets Department aseguró que las reparaciones de los baches a menudo pueden ocurrir en unos pocos días, pero dependen de la gravedad del problema y del clima, al tiempo que enfatizó que el mejor momento para hacerlo es un día seco cuando la temperatura alcanza al menos los 40 grados.</p>
<p>En ese momento, la ciudad despliega los equipos de reparación y las máquinas de reparación de baches para arreglar la irregularidad asfáltica.</p>
<h2><strong>No es un bache, tal vez sea una zanja</strong></h2>
<p>El departamento señaló que, a diferencia de los baches, las zanjas son excavaciones rectangulares en la carretera y se cortan a propósito usando líneas rectas y bordes rectos. Estos recortes son realizados por servicios públicos y fontaneros para llegar a las líneas subterráneas.</p>
<p><strong>Los contratistas son responsables de llenar la zanja y pavimentarla temporalmente, y de notificar a la ciudad una vez finalizado su trabajo. Seguidamente, el departamento programa una reparación permanente de la carretera.</strong></p>
<p>El proceso para reparar una zanja puede requerir más tiempo y depende en gran medida de cuándo sea informado por el contratista. Los residentes deben informar de las zanjas que han sido lavadas, dejando atrás un agujero profundo.</p>
<h2><strong>¿Los derrumbes y huecos son lo mismo?</strong></h2>
<p>Los huecos, a veces llamados &#8220;agujeros de fregadero&#8221;, son agujeros que llegan más allá de la base de hormigón de la carretera. Este vacío puede ocurrir cuando la suciedad se ha arrastrado, lo que hace que las superficies superiores se caigan.</p>
<p>Antes de que se repare un derrumbe, los equipos inspeccionan el defecto para determinar si hay una causa subyacente. Luego, el subsuelo se repara y puede requerir el trabajo de los propietarios y de las agencias de servicios públicos como el Water Departmen, PGW, PECO y empresas de cable.</p>

<h2><strong>¿Qué debo hacer ante un defecto en la carretera?</strong></h2>
<p>El Streets Department depende de los avisos de los residentes para determinar la ubicación del problema y sus características, por lo que invita a informar de las irregularidades asfálticas que se observan en las carreteras, llamando al 311.</p>
<p>Esto es lo que el departamento necesita saber:</p>
<ul>
<li>Dé la ubicación exacta, dirección.</li>
<li>Describa el hueco.</li>
<li>¿El hueco está en la acera o en la carretera?</li>
<li>Tamaño aproximado.</li>
<li>¿Hay una barricada sobre este hueco?</li>
<li>Tenga en cuenta si ve agua en el hueco.</li>
<li>¿Esto está en una ruta de autobús?</li>
<li>¿El hueco está en el área de una pista de tranvía?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>El departamento presta atención primordial a los baches que se encuentran en las principales carreteras, que no son las estatales, y a los que son un peligro inmediato para los automovilistas o los peatones, para que los equipos de reparación actúen efectivamente</strong>.</p>
<p>Si la ubicación del bache que se informa está en una calle mantenida por el estado, el Streets Department inspeccionará esta ubicación y reenviará la solicitud al Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDot).</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The City of Philadelphia on Thursday released vaccination rates for its employees, divided by department. The data were compiled through a combination of records submitted by employees along with other vaccine records maintained by the Health Department.</strong></p>
<p>The rates only include workers who received their doses in Philadelphia.</p>
<p>According to WHYY, the most vaccinated city department is the Law Department, where 91% to 100% of workers are vaccinated. <strong>Also among the departments with the highest vaccination rates were the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Mayor’s Office, Innovation and Technology, and the Department of Public Health, all ranging from 81 to 90% vaccinated as of Thursday.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The least vaccinated department was the Streets Department, where just 41% to 50% of workers are vaccinated.</strong></p>
<p>Between 51 and 60% of employees are vaccinated in both the Philadelphia police and fire departments. That range represents a jump from just over a week ago when the mayor’s office reported that only 13% of police officers were vaccinated.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>You can read: <a href="https://elsolnewsmedia.com/agreement-saves-philly/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">An agreement saves Philly from a transit strike</a></strong></p>
<p>Health Department spokesman James Garrow said the reported percentages were for the number of people in those departments who submitted proof of vaccination to the city’s human resources system. This percentage is based on actual records maintained by the city and does not rely on workers reporting their vaccination rates.</p>
<p><strong>The current Philadelphia mandate requires any city employee who is not vaccinated to double mask at all times.</strong></p>
<h4><strong>Great progress</strong></h4>
<p>“Our goal is [to] make sure that everyone in the city, employees and otherwise, gets vaccinated,” said Acting Health Commissioner Dr. Cheryl Bettigole in a statement. “While we’re making great progress on that, there’s still plenty of work to do.”</p>
<p><strong>Bettigole added that to help encourage city employees to get vaccinated, the Health Department will continue to provide educational resources regarding vaccine safety and effectiveness.</strong> As for all Philadelphians, to place vaccine clinics in the areas of the city with the lowest vaccination rates. Non-uniformed employees also get four hours of time off if they upload their vaccination status to the city’s system.</p>

A road mural that reads &#8220;end racism now&#8221; was painted in Philadelphia&#8217;s Fishtown neighborhood.</strong></p>
<p>The mural also included names of African-American people who were killed unjustly, including George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery among others.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>You can read: <a href="https://elsolnewsmedia.com/the-national-guard/">The National Guard is leaving Philadelphia</a></strong></p>
<p><strong>This happens a week after a group of armed white men claimed they were out to protect police and the neighborhood.</strong> The armed people gathered in Fishtown neighborhood while carrying bats, golf clubs, and other improvised weapons.</p>
<p>Pastor John T. Brice from St. James United Methodist Church organized the event, which took place outside the 26th Police District building on Girard Avenue in Fishtown.</p>
<p><strong>While numerous people helped paint the mural Tuesday night, Streets Department crews were out a short while later to remove it. The painting covered turn-only lanes on Girard Avenue, police said, so leaving it in place could lead to adverse traffic impacts.</strong></p>
<p>The painting was still in place Tuesday night, however.</p>
<p>Organizers said Wednesday morning that the Streets Department has issued a permit and the mural will stay until it washes or wears away.</p>
