Here is a Market Recap for today Friday, November 20, 2020. Please enjoy!

PsychoMarket Recap - Friday, November 20, 2020
Stocks fell Friday with market participants concerned at the lack of fiscal stimulus and the surge in coronavirus the last three weeks will make states reimpose restrictions that threaten to stall business activity in an already tenuous economy. An apparent dispute between the US Treasury and the Federal Reserve also weighed on the minds of market participants.
In Washington, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said during a press conference that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnel (R-KY) agreed to pick back up stimulus negotiations. However, given the tenuous political situation surrounding the presidential election and the gridlock that exists in the Senate (majority for the Senate is still undecided), it is highly unlikely that any form of stimulus is passed. For months, Congress and the White House went back and forth regarding stimulus but were unable to come to an agreement. In our opinion, it is highly unlikely that additional fiscal stimulus is granted until the presidential and senate elections are resolved conclusively.
Unfortunately, the surge in coronavirus cases shows no signs of slowing down. Yesterday, the US once again set another record high for new infections, hospitalizations. According to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University, there were 187,800 new cases. That’s up 27% compared to last week and by far the most since the pandemic began. Data is trending in the wrong direction, with 44 out of 50 states reporting a 10% increase in new cases compared to last week. According to the COVID Tracking Project, there are around 80,700 people hospitalized with coronavirus in the US, also a new record. That’s an increase of 19.13% compared to last week. Saddest of all, there were more than 2,000 deaths due to the virus yesterday, the highest number since early May, according to Johns Hopkins University.
In an effort to combat the surge in cases, governors from both sides of the aisle have announced a variety of new restrictions. California’s governor Gavin Newsom announced that the state is “pulling the emergency brake” on reopening and reinstated broad restrictions throughout the state. In Iowa, Republican Governor Kim Reynolds, who once dismissed coronavirus restrictions as "feel-good" measures, has abruptly reversed course, issuing the state's first mask mandate and limiting indoor gatherings. Illinois, Michigan, and New Jersey announced additional restrictions that limit gatherings to household members. Indoor event spaces are also being ordered to shut-down or move outdoors. In Massachusetts, the governor announced a stay-at-home advisory. Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota are under state-wide mask mandate. These are just some of the examples, there are too many examples to list.
Despite the positive vaccine news from companies like Pfizer (PFE) and Moderna (MRNA) it is important to note that it takes time to establish global distribution networks. Widespread availability of a vaccine likely won’t happen until 2021, according to the estimates of experts. In the short-term, the surge in coronavirus cases and the fear of new restriction is driving volatility.

Philadelphia pausing full green phase reopening, announces travel advisory

Philadelphia pausing full green phase reopening, announces travel advisory

The opening of indoor dining and gyms is delayed until at least August 1.
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Due to the rising number of positive cases of the coronavirus, Philadelphia is pausing some of its reopening plans and will only move to a modified green phase on Friday. The city has also issued a travel advisory for 15 states across the country.
The city health commissioner Dr. Thomas Farely opened his press briefing Tuesday by saying the news was not good as cases of COVID-19 continue to rise nationally and regionally.
There were 142 new positive cases reported Tuesday, bringing the city total to 26,133. There were five additional fatalities in Philadelphia, bringing the total to 1,584.
Farley said over the past couple of weeks, positive cases have been likely to be younger people. Thirty-four percent of the cases were under age 30 in the past two weeks, as opposed to 20 percent during the entire pandemic.
Dr. Farley announces Philadelphia is pausing its reopening plans.
He said this is linked to social events and travel, especially trips to the Jersey Shore.
The city's daily case counts are no longer going down, Farley said, and Philadelphia will not meet its targets to move fully to green on Friday.
Therefore, the city is pausing the reopening of indoor dining, as well as gyms and fitness centers, to at least August 1.
The Southeastern Pennsylvania region, including collar counties of Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, entered the green phase of Governor Tom Wolf's reopening plan last Friday, June 26. Philadelphia allowed some businesses like barbers and salons to reopen.
The city is also asking people in Philadelphia to not travel to the following states where they are seeing rising COVID-19 numbers: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah.
People returning to Philadelphia from any of these states should self-quarantine for 14 days, Farley said.
On Friday, Philadelphia will be allowing the reopening of some businesses in a modified and restricted green phase.
These businesses and activities include museums and libraries, indoor shopping malls, and small indoor and outdoor gatherings.
Casinos will also be allowed to open during this restricted green phase, but only with very strict requirements - masks are required, six feet of distance between patrons, and absolutely no food, drink, or smoking is allowed indoors.
All businesses and activities must follow the Safe Mode guidance on the City's Reopening with Care website.
Farley added if people can work remotely, they should continue to do so.
Farley noted that he expects Philadelphia will be dealing with this virus for a long time, and if there is a rise in cases, the city may be forced to close some previously opened businesses.

May 13 - Reynolds Q & A - Fact checked & annotated

TL;DR - Reynolds has "full confidence in Iowans" and our businesses to "do the right thing".
Opening remarks:
“[In the 22 counties still unopened] we’ve seen significant progress. The majority of these counties have achieved a consistent downward trend in virus activity and others have stabilized and are beginning to trend down.” Polk & Woodbury counties have increased. “We’re intentionally testing in those communities” which drives positive cases up. “Even though hospitalizations have increased in a few communities, resources remain stable and Iowans are getting the care that they need.”
“Effective May 15, all restrictions currently lifted in Iowa’s 77 counties will be expanded statewide which includes restaurants, fitness centers, and additionally salons, barbershops, massage therapy may reopen statewide with, again, some capacity restrictions, health measures that are put in place, and guidance from the Dept of PH.”
Requirements for businesses include frequent cleaning, assuring hand washing supplies are available for staff & customers, providing visual reminders to social distancing, and “allowing or requiring” masks.
“I want you to remember what the data tells us - that 80% of the people who get the virus will experience a mild or moderate illness…” ----------
Q1 - Will there be HS sports this summer?
Kim - “As I indicated yesterday, everyday we’re looking at the activity. We’re seeing our positivity rate go down, we’re seeing the days to double continue to increase… which means the spread is slowing.”
Misleading - Reynolds’ acknowledged in her opening remarks that Polk and Woodbury counties are increasing. She cited increased testing as the reason, but this points to the lack of widespread testing and inadequate data on which she's [rhetorically] basing her decisions. A slowing spread points to distancing guidance as being effective, and is not necessarily encouraging a lessening of distancing guidance.
-----------
Q2 - The national reports are that Polk county is already a hotspot. You said this relates to increased testing, but given the fact that we’re seeing cases rise there, and you are going forward with opening, what can Iowans expect you’ll do if you see something that qualifies as a hotspot?
“One of the things we want to do… is to make sure that we can continue to manage our healthcare resources.”, “So we are increasing testing.”, “So as we increase testing, especially in the hotspots we’re going to see our numbers continue to rise, so what we want to watch is if the rise in positive numbers is not impacting our healthcare systems. So far we’ve seen our hospitalization numbers stabilize. We’ve seen Polk county, I think it’s somewhat stabilizing too…”
“If you can’t social distance, you might want to have a face mask… if we all do that… we’ll be OK and we’ll be able to manage and contain virus spread.”
Misleading / Non-answer - Polk county is one of the fastest growing COVID cases in the nation. Aside from increasing testing there was no specific response or plan regarding dealing with hotspots.
------------
Q3 - Gazette - Does today’s announcement include bars & casinos?
Kim - “No”
Q3 continued - The plans to open more businesses come when we’re seeing daily death counts of 18 & 17 the last two days, does that give you any pause? If the healthcare data metrics have officially reported a peak, can you point to a specific day when that happens given various testing changes have skewed the data tracking?
“Remember when we started this our goal was to protect the health of Iowans, to make sure that we were managing our healthcare resources, flattening the curve” so as not to overwhelm healthcare resources. “We are able to look at data on a daily basis and manage and contain virus activity… we’re seeing our positivity rate go down.”, We have in place a surge plan and there’s a “process in place” to address that. “The deaths are lagging indicators.”, “It is the vulnerable population that’s been impacted.”, “Just like when we have a flu, when we have a significant flu outbreak it impacts those in our nursing homes as well.”
Sarah, “Some of those counties have peaked… we do expect to find increased case counts…To your question about the peak, we do think we’ve peaked in some areas and will continue to see peaks in other areas.”
Non-answer: Doesn’t give a date of peak. The data, as the question indicates, is skewed and vague. More testing =/= containing virus activity
---------
Q4 - KCCI - The bars and casinos?
“They will remain closed…. When it’s the right time we’ll start to open some of those back up.”
Q4 continued - Caroline brought up something on twitter: the survey for businesses is no longer active. Whether we know about further food plant outbreaks, etc, has anything else met that 10% threshold, and are you all planning on getting that survey back up?
Kim - “We have been very transparent, when they meet the criteria we report.”
Sarah - “I don’t have specific numbers with me but we have confirmed one additional outbreak.” At Upper Iowa Beef. “the reason that the survey link was taken down is we want the businesses to reach out to the health dept… instead of filling out the survey we’ve asked they [businesses]” contact the Dept of PH.
Misleading. Iowa has not been transparent or standardized in its testing regimen, and in some cases has limited the data available to the public. To encourage business owners to monitor using a survey and then without notice removing that survey is a keen example.
-----------
Q5 - IPR - You’ve said before the businesses should accommodate workers if they have a risk factor themselves or live with someone who is at risk. Could you clarify, who decides? Is a note from a doctor enough? Or is it up to the employer?
“There are a lot of different factors…if they’re trying to get unemployment then through the investigation or outreach from the workforce development team they go through a series of questions. There’s several exemptions that allow them to continue to get unemployment. As far as… with the employee and employer, they’re trying to be very accommodating working with their workforce. If an employee feels that they’re not getting the response that they should if you go to the coronavirus.iowa.gov, um, there is a phone number there that you can call and we have legal counsel available that can provide them with any information.”, “As you heard from the gym owner from Ames, they’re doing everything they can to protect their employees as well.”
Misleading - Iowa has consistently given power to employers in deciding working conditions. Access to unemployment in Iowa has been contingent upon the employer’s discretion, not the employee. The protections for employees highlighted by the gym owner were taking temperatures, having signage, mandating employee's wear masks, and doing more cleaning. He then highlighted how exercise strengthens the immune system and that Iowans are good at taking personal responsibility. There is ample evidence of Iowan's not taking personal responsibility when lacking clear mandates from the state.
---------
Q6 - DSM Register - A) What is the specific threshold for increasing mitigation efforts? B) Why did you stop highlighting the daily numbers and stopped putting out advisories? C) Have the TestIowa tests been validated?
A) [no response]
B) We’ve not highlighted the numbers b/c they’re available on the website.
C) “The TestIowa validation, the state hygienic lab is doing a great job, being very thorough to ensure that it is validated.”, “Hopefully by tomorrow we’ll have the system validated.”
Misleading / non-answer- Yesterday, Reynolds said the TestIowa results would today be validated. Though TestIowa is still not validated, her answer has remained consistent that it will soon be. The dashboard does contain some important data, but has obscured other important information.
------------
Q7 - Caroline CR Gazette[?] - Fauci warned that re-opening too soon could not only result in avoidable suffering and deaths, but set states back on an economic recovery. Is there any consideration at all that opening Iowa now could negatively affect the economy in the long term?
“No, that’s why we’ve done it in a very responsible, safe, and stable manner. That’s why I think he also said in those comments, Caroline, that what the fact that when we’re reopening you have to make sure that you’re not overwhelming the healthcare system - that you still have capacity in your healthcare system” to deal with surge or uptick. “We’re doing it in a phased approach. That’s why we didn’t just rip the bandaid off or flip a light switch. We’re being very methodical in the way that we move forward so that we can take the data that we’re seeing, in real time. And really monitor it and watch it and be proactive in doing some strategic testing so that we can identify potential hotspots when we do identify one to get in there and do aggressive testing so we can understand who’s positive, who’s negative…”
“We’re going to continue to do what we’ve been doing an base it on Iowa data”
“I have full confidence in Iowans and I have full confidence in our businesses to do the right thing. They’ve demonstrated it over and over since we’ve re-opened. They’re being thoughtful and cautious in opening back up. These are customers of theres and often, especially in some of the salons, there’s a very close relationship. They want to make sure they’re not only keeping their employees safe, but their customers as well…”
Non-answe misleading - Iowa has continually been reactive in its handling of the pandemic. The data Iowa has used has been slow to be released and roundly critiqued by epidemiologists.
---------- "When they want you to buy something they will call you. When they want you to die for profit they will let you know. So, friends, every day do something that won’t compute. Love the Lord. Love the world. Work for nothing. Take all that you have and be poor. Love someone who does not deserve it. Denounce the government and embrace the flag. ..." -Wendell Berry

[Iowa] I think my workplace might be getting ready to abandon social distancing.

So our governor (I use that term loosely) Kim Reynolds announced that starting on Friday, our state is abandoning capacity limits, but still requiring businesses to adhere to social distancing guidelines. This post is all according to my (limited) understanding of her proclamations and trying to evaluate how they line up with federal guidelines and Iowa's legal standards, but my business announced ~12 hours ago that they are opening on Friday all sections of the business that were closed until now.
The timing of the announcement and the date of reopening lead me to believe that they may be trying to abandon social distancing and public safety measures altogether, and simply relying on the public's desire for reopening to keep them safe from legal repercussions. My business involves a lot of face-to-face customer service, and in order to remain profitable, my business would have to keep customers way less than 6 ft. apart at all times, much less customers vs employees.
What I can't quite figure out is what teeth - if any - the governor's proclamations have. I suspect none, but at this point I'm just really hoping for something more solid, even though I can't figure out where to report/file a claim against my business if they do in fact abandon safety measures.
I wasn't going to post here, but I want to know all my options, and I know COVID has presented the legal and employment fields with a lot of questions. I was hoping to understand my options a bit better by posting here and asking what my remaining options are if my employer goes overboard on reopening. I can't figure out who is actually in charge of enforcing COVID governor regulations (if anyone actually is), and I'm not a hundred percent on what my remaining options are. The one advantage I can think I have is that I work in a casino and Iowa has an organization (IRGC) which regulates them, but I can't figure out if they have any relevance over Coronavirus stipulations.
If my workplace reopens fully, and is clearly in violation of social distancing guidelines (which our governor claims are still in place), is there an organization I can report them to in order to force their hand on obeying those same guidelines? If they are just pushing the boundaries, is there an organization (the same or different) I can report them to for either a full evaluation or more harsh measures? Or are we SOL as far as forcing our employer to follow those guidelines?
More specifically/individually...
I know COVID is very recent and we're only really approaching about a 3-month mark for pandemic status, but if I choose to quit my job due to feeling unsafe at it, what standards have to be met for me to claim unemployment? If my employers fire me due to me not agreeing to handle certain situations (refusing to clean surfaces/objects which a visibly ill customer has coughed/spat on, refusing to serve visibly ill customers, refusing to replace or fill in for sick employees), is there any precedent for the standard I have to meet to either get unemployment, file for wrongful firing, or such?
I know that I've covered a wide range with my questions and that I'm not really being super specific, but as someone with vulnerable family members I really want to know my options. Thank you all and I appreciate any help with this matter.
TL:DR; If my work place abandons safety measures RE:Coronavirus or refuses to enforce social distancing guidelines, can I either legally force them to follow those measures, or get unemployment/sue them if I get fired or quit?

2016 SUMMER STREET CIRCUIT CONTEST ROUND 5: 1905

Round 4 of the 2016 Summer Street Circuit Contest is over, and it's time for round 5.
Last week, we traveled to the Coloradoan town of Castle Rock, former home of Continental Divide Raceways. 20 designers participated.
Let's see how they did.
tininsteelian-2 took his first win of the season in Castle Rock. He received 9 votes, but because of the bonus, he takes home 11 points.
Second place was a tie on 9 points between RWPROfficial and PM_ME_UR_ALLIGATOR.
Third place went to pjlee98 with 6 points.
Fourth place went to lui5mb with 5 points. He finished off the podium for the first time this season.
Fifth place was a tie on 4 points between 4 designers: Alo_14, MBKF1, viinster88 (who returned for the first time since the 2015 Monza round), and newcomer McPhilen.
Sixth place was a tie on 3 points between 3d_orz, -JensonButton-, mdmcadams, and murphyslaaawl.
Seventh place was a tie on 2 points between ARandomPerson17, exaenae, and IanE55, who returns for the first time since the 2016 Winter São Paulo round.
Eighth place went to newcomer NoonecanknowMiner on 1 point.
Ninth place was a "tie" on 0 points between newcomer Hampster3 and, surprisingly, the top two in the 2016 Winter championship: vwlou89 and knoxvox.
Here's the breakdown: http://i.imgur.com/M2lQdZC.png
Let's see how this has affected the championship:

lui5mb continues to dominantly sit atop the table despite his unsuccessful Castle Rock performance. The gap has closed, though.
tininsteelian-2 hops from 4th to 2nd after his great Castle Rock win. He's now only 13 points behind lui5mb.
RWPROfficial remains in 3rd after another second place in Castle Rock. He did close his gap to lui5mb by 2 points, though.
3d_orz fell from 2nd to 4th after an unsuccessful Castle Rock round. He's only 1 point behind third, though.
PM_ME_UR_ALLIGATOR continues to occupy the 5th spot in the championship. His second place in Castle Rock has closed the gap to some of those ahead of him, though.
Last season's champion, vwlou89, dropped out of the top 10 to 13th after a miserable performance where he scored 0 points. Last season's runner-up knoxvox joined him in the 0-point group. Hopefully these two can get back on track and catch back up to the leaders.
Last place in the championship now belongs to Castle Rock newcomer Hampster3. If he participates in more rounds, he won't be at the bottom of the championship for long.
Last week, we traveled to the Coloradoan town of Castle Rock. This week, we do something a bit different.
Before Grand Prix racing officially started, there were still simple racing competitions. Motor racing itself began in France and the first official motoring contest happened in 1894 at the Paris-Rouen rally. For the rest of the 19th century, motor racing seemed to be an exclusively European activity.
In 1900, the United States took interest in motor racing. A rich American businessman from New York with Scottish heritage wanted to make motor racing an international event. It was not actually Donald Trump, but Gordon Bennett, the publisher of the New York Herald, who began the Gordon Bennett Cup. It was a French motor race, but all nations of the world were open to entry with their home manufacturers.
The USA was never successful in the 6 runnings of the Gordon Bennett Cup between 1900 and 1905, but in 1905, they started their own racing league.
The 1905 AAA National Motor Car Championship was the first ever season of the premier American open-wheel series. The series had 10 points-paying races which were primarily held at repurposed horse racing tracks.
So this week, in honor of our contest moving internationally next week, I am giving you the opportunity to build your circuits at any of the 9 locations which hosted Champ Car races in 1905.
Here's a short rundown all the locations.
The Bronx
The Bronx is the 4th largest of New York City's 5 boroughs. Its most famous attraction is currently Yankee Stadium, but in 1905 the borough held two Champ Car races, both at a former horse racing facility called Morris Park.
The opening race of the season, the Morris Park 5, was won by Swiss-American Louis Chevrolet. The second race at Morris Park in 1905, the Morris Park 1, was won by Iowa native Webb Jay. Morris Park never hosted another Champ Car race after that. In 1910, most of the facilities burned down, and by 1921 there was an iron factory on top of the former site.
If you choose the Bronx as your location, then you must keep your circuit in the Bronx. You may not cross over into any other New York City boroughs.
Hartford
Hartford is the capital and fourth-largest city in Connecticut. In 1905, the city held one Champ Car race at another former horse racing facility called Charter Oak Park.
The second race of the 1905 season, the Hartford 5, was won by legendary Ohio native Barney Oldfield. The track would never host another motor race, but it continued to host horse races until 1925. The track was doomed when Connecticut put anti-betting laws into place in 1925, and nowadays the site is occupied by a strip mall and a Walmart.
If you choose Hartford as your location, you may use both Hartford and the smaller town of West Hartford, because the race was basically held on what is now the line between the two towns.
Yonkers
Yonkers is the fourth most populous city in New York. In 1905, the city held one Champ Car race at another former horse racing facility called the Empire City Race Track.
The third race of the 1905 season, the Empire City 10, was won by Louis Chevrolet, who took his second win of the season. The track would never host another motor race, but it was reopened for horse racing in 1907. In 1950, the track was renamed Yonkers Raceway. The track is still there today as a part of the Empire City Casino.
If you choose Yonkers as your location, obviously you must keep your track in Yonkers.
Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh is the second largest city in Pennsylvania. In 1905, the city held one Champ Car race at another horse racing facility called Brunots Island Race Track.
The fourth race of the 1905 season, the Brunots Island 10, was won by Louis Chevrolet, who took his second win in a row and third win of the season. The track would never host another motor race, but it continued to host horse races until 1914. Brunots Island is now home to a fossil fuel power plant.
If you choose Pittsburgh as your location, obviously you must keep your track in Pittsburgh.
Cleveland
Cleveland is the second largest city in Ohio. In 1905, the city's Glenville neighborhood held one Champ Car race at another horse racing facility called Glenville Race Track.
The sixth race of the 1905 season, the Glenville 5, was won by Ohio native Charles Burman, who won his first and last Champ Car race ever. The track would never host another motor race, and the site was abandoned in 1908 after betting was banned. The neighborhood of Glenville is now just a residential area.
If you choose Cleveland as your location, obviously you must keep your track in Cleveland.
Buffalo
Buffalo is the second largest city in New York. In 1905, the city held one Champ Car race at another horse racing facility called Kenilworth Park Race Track.
The seventh race of the 1905 season, the Buffalo 5, was won by Barney Oldfield, who took his second win of the season. Webb Jay was critically injured at this event and wouldn't return to racing again. The track would never host another motor race, and the track closed in 1908 after race track betting was banned in New York. The former site is now home to residential area.
If you choose Buffalo as your location, you must keep your track in Buffalo.
Boston
Boston is the largest city in Massachusetts. In 1905, the city's Readville neighborhood held one Champ Car race at another former horse racing facility called Readville Race Track.
The eighth race of the 1905 season, the Readville 5, was won by Barney Oldfield, who took his second win in a row and third win of the season. The track would never host another Champ Car race, but horse races and motor races were held at the track until 1937. During World War II, US Navy pilots practiced touch-and-go landings at the oval, but since then it was completely inactive. The former site is now home to a warehouse and a bike racing school.
If you choose Boston as your location, you must keep your track in Boston. The former track was actually in the Readville neighborhood of Boston, but you can use all of the Boston area. You MAY NOT just copy the proposed Boston street circuit that was supposed to host IndyCar in 2016. You must make your own unique track.
Cranston
Cranston is the third largest city in Rhode Island. In 1905, the city held one Champ Car race at another former horse racing facility called Narragansett Park Speedway.
In 1867, the park opened as Narragansett Trotting Park and its opening day was attended by both J.P. Morgan and Cornelius Vanderbilt. In 1873, the park closed, but it was bought again in 1886 for the Rhode Island State Fair. In 1896, the first ever American automobile race was held at the park. An electric Riker car won.
The ninth race of the 1905 season, the Providence 5, was won by Barney Oldfield, who took his third win in a row and fourth win of the season.
If you choose Cranston as your location, you must keep your track in Cranston. You may slightly cross over into the larger city of Providence, but your track must be mostly in Cranston.
Poughkeepsie
Poughkeepsie is a small city in New York and was New York's second capital shortly after the American Revolution. In 1905, the city held one Champ Car race at another former horse racing facility called Hudson River Driving Park.
The final race of the 1905 season, the Poughkeepsie 5, was won by Barney Oldfield, who took his fourth win in a row and fifth win of the season. He officially won the 1905 AAA Champ Car championship after this race.
If you choose Poughkeepsie as your location, you must keep your track in Poughkeepsie.
That was an awful lot of history.
That is correct, you will have NINE options to choose from to design your tracks. You can choose any location on the list. You can only submit one track as always, so don't think you have to design a track for each location.
In case you haven't seen the last two seasons, here are the rules with some new additions.
  1. Stay within the town or city limits of the town or city assigned.
  2. Don't worry about realism. If you want to put a pitlane in the middle of a major motorway, do it.
  3. The circuits have to be mostly on streets. Purpose built sections may be built in parks/farms/etc but the track must be mostly a street circuit. Tracks cannot be built over previously built buildings.
  4. You must include at least a screenshot of your track. Links to RouteBuilder or GmapPedometer will not be counted.
Track designs must be submitted by Wednesday. The voting thread will go up then.
Please include a direct Imgur or Dropbox link in your submission. RouteBuilder submissions will not be counted.
You're designing a street circuit in either The Bronx, New York; Hartford, Connecticut; Yonkers, New York; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Cleveland, Ohio; Buffalo, New York; Boston, Massachusetts; Cranston, Rhode Island; or Poughkeepsie, New York. Follow the rules. You have until Wednesday.
Happy designing.
