SD DOT talks statewide travel conditions

S IOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) - Taking a look at Department of Transportation cameras across the Dakota News Now viewing area, you can see that conditions are quite different depending on which region you’re in, creating tricky situations for those on the roads.

“Those icy conditions have really been the biggest challenge that we’ve been seeing for our plow operators, as well as the drivers out there,” said Craig Smith, SD DOT director of operations.

The issue is the entire state isn’t covered in ice, like on Interstate 29 near Brandt, the cameras show mostly clear roads with visibility being the biggest issue.

But that can quickly change, as we can see more slush coverage near Watertown.

“The various conditions can cause some unpredictability when you’re traveling. The roads may be fine in one area where it’s wet and raining, then it can quickly turn to ice. We saw some of that yesterday and even today. Those icy roads are really the biggest issue we’ve been seeing out there,” Smith said.

One factor that Smith says has been a positive for the DOT is the speed at which this winter system has moved through, helping prevent crashes and vehicles getting stuck.

“It’s maybe come a little bit slower, so our plows have been able to keep up — really not too much of a concern with this storm, at least so far. We still have to see what the overnight hours bring to the eastern part of South Dakota,” Smith said.

After aggressive snowfall last year, Old Man Winter has been much kinder to the DOT’s budget this year.

“This time of the year, we’re looking at where we’re going to end once we get through the winter and deciding what budget we have available. This year, we haven’t gotten to that point yet, but we’re expecting that we’re going to be sitting quite good,” Smith said.

Smith advised before traveling to take a look at the SD 511 advisory map.

GSA announces new EV charging product achieves FedRAMP authorization

WASHINGTON — Today, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced that a new electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) product, provided by Atom Power , has achieved FedRAMP authorization. This assures federal agency partners that Atom Power’s EV charging infrastructure platform has had its security capabilities reviewed and assessed through the FedRAMP process.

GSA announced the first two EVSE FedRAMP authorizations earlier this year (Chargie and ChargePoint) and the agency is working to authorize more EVSE products over the next year. 

“It’s great to see another example of the EVSE industry responding to the growing federal demand for EV charging stations,” said Administrator Robin Carnahan . “We look forward to helping more American businesses to grow and thrive in the federal marketplace by supporting the sustainability of the federal footprint.” 

The FedRAMP authorization comes after GSA announced a $25 million Inflation Reduction Act investment in EV charging ports earlier this week at federal buildings across the nation as part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda. This investment supports 32 projects across 21 states at 33 federal buildings for a total of 782 ports to help build a convenient and reliable EV charging network for the federal government’s electric vehicle fleet.

GSA is responsible for establishing governmentwide vehicle contracts and leasing half of the non-postal federal fleet, while the other half is ordered from GSA – including a growing number of electric vehicles. In FY 2023, GSA ordered over 5,800 zero-emission vehicles - an increase of 63% from FY 2022. In the first quarter of FY2024, GSA ordered 4,000 more ZEVs – accounting for 20% of all orders and almost 30% of all light-duty vehicle orders. These orders will help meet the federal government’s goal of 100% zero-emission vehicle acquisitions by 2035, including 100% of light-duty acquisitions by 2027.

GSA Administrator Robin Carnahan made the announcement at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Exchange 2024.

Why were so many metro stations in Moscow renamed?

Okhotny Ryad station in Soviet times and today.

The Moscow metro system has 275 stations, and 28 of them have been renamed at some point or other—and several times in some cases. Most of these are the oldest stations, which opened in 1935.

The politics of place names

The first station to change its name was Ulitsa Kominterna (Comintern Street). The Comintern was an international communist organization that ceased to exist in 1943, and after the war Moscow authorities decided to call the street named after it something else. In 1946, the station was renamed Kalininskaya. Then for several days in 1990, the station was called Vozdvizhenka, before eventually settling on Aleksandrovsky Sad, which is what it is called today.

The banner on the entraince reads: "Kalininskaya station." Now it's Alexandrovsky Sad.

Until 1957, Kropotkinskaya station was called Dvorets Sovetov ( Palace of Soviets ). There were plans to build a monumental Stalinist high-rise on the site of the nearby Cathedral of Christ the Saviour , which had been demolished. However, the project never got off the ground, and after Stalin's death the station was named after Kropotkinskaya Street, which passes above it.

Dvorets Sovetov station, 1935. Letters on the entrance: "Metro after Kaganovich."

Of course, politics was the main reason for changing station names. Initially, the Moscow Metro itself was named after Lazar Kaganovich, Joseph Stalin’s right-hand man. Kaganovich supervised the construction of the first metro line and was in charge of drawing up a master plan for reconstructing Moscow as the "capital of the proletariat."

In 1955, under Nikita Khrushchev's rule and during the denunciation of Stalin's personality cult, the Moscow Metro was named in honor of Vladimir Lenin.

Kropotkinskaya station, our days. Letters on the entrance: "Metropolitan after Lenin."

New Metro stations that have been opened since the collapse of the Soviet Union simply say "Moscow Metro," although the metro's affiliation with Vladimir Lenin has never officially been dropped.

Zyablikovo station. On the entrance, there are no more signs that the metro is named after Lenin.

Stations that bore the names of Stalin's associates were also renamed under Khrushchev. Additionally, some stations were named after a neighborhood or street and if these underwent name changes, the stations themselves had to be renamed as well.

Until 1961 the Moscow Metro had a Stalinskaya station that was adorned by a five-meter statue of the supreme leader. It is now called Semyonovskaya station.

Left: Stalinskaya station. Right: Now it's Semyonovskaya.

The biggest wholesale renaming of stations took place in 1990, when Moscow’s government decided to get rid of Soviet names. Overnight, 11 metro stations named after revolutionaries were given new names. Shcherbakovskaya became Alekseyevskaya, Gorkovskaya became Tverskaya, Ploshchad Nogina became Kitay-Gorod and Kirovskaya turned into Chistye Prudy. This seriously confused passengers, to put it mildly, and some older Muscovites still call Lubyanka station Dzerzhinskaya for old times' sake.

At the same time, certain stations have held onto their Soviet names. Marksistskaya and Kropotkinskaya, for instance, although there were plans to rename them too at one point.

"I still sometimes mix up Teatralnaya and Tverskaya stations,” one Moscow resident recalls .

 “Both have been renamed and both start with a ‘T.’ Vykhino still grates on the ear and, when in 1991 on the last day of my final year at school, we went to Kitay-Gorod to go on the river cruise boats, my classmates couldn’t believe that a station with that name existed."

The city government submitted a station name change for public discussion for the first time in 2015. The station in question was Voykovskaya, whose name derives from the revolutionary figure Pyotr Voykov. In the end, city residents voted against the name change, evidently not out of any affection for Voykov personally, but mainly because that was the name they were used to.

What stations changed their name most frequently?

Some stations have changed names three times. Apart from the above-mentioned Aleksandrovsky Sad (Ulitsa Kominterna->Kalininskaya->Vozdvizhenka->Aleksandrovsky Sad), a similar fate befell Partizanskaya station in the east of Moscow. Opened in 1944, it initially bore the ridiculously long name Izmaylovsky PKiO im. Stalina (Izmaylovsky Park of Culture and Rest Named After Stalin). In 1947, the station was renamed and simplified for convenience to Izmaylovskaya. Then in 1963 it was renamed yet again—this time to Izmaylovsky Park, having "donated" its previous name to the next station on the line. And in 2005 it was rechristened Partizanskaya to mark the 60th anniversary of victory in World War II. 

Partizanskaya metro station, nowadays.

Another interesting story involves Alekseyevskaya metro station. This name was originally proposed for the station, which opened in 1958, since a village with this name had been located here. It was then decided to call the station Shcherbakovskaya in honor of Aleksandr Shcherbakov, a politician who had been an associate of Stalin. Nikita Khrushchev had strained relations with Shcherbakov, however, and when he got word of it literally a few days before the station opening the builders had to hastily change all the signs. It ended up with the concise and politically correct name of Mir (Peace).

The name Shcherbakovskaya was restored in 1966 after Khrushchev's fall from power. It then became Alekseyevskaya in 1990.

Alekseyevskaya metro station.

But the station that holds the record for the most name changes is Okhotny Ryad, which opened in 1935 on the site of a cluster of market shops. When the metro system was renamed in honor of Lenin in 1955, this station was renamed after Kaganovich by way of compensation. The name lasted just two years though because in 1957 Kaganovich fell out of favor with Khrushchev, and the previous name was returned. But in 1961 it was rechristened yet again, this time in honor of Prospekt Marksa, which had just been built nearby.

Okhotny Ryad station in 1954 and Prospekt Marksa in 1986.

In 1990, two historical street names—Teatralny Proyezd and Mokhovaya Street—were revived to replace Prospekt Marksa, and the station once again became Okhotny Ryad.
