7:58 AM: SDOT says one southbound lane is blocked. No camera at that intersection yet so we are on the way to look.

    There is also a stall in the left lane of Highland Park Way/E. Marginal, shortly after the Highland Park way and West Marginal intersection

    West Marginal Southbound is backed up farther than I’ve ever seen. Avoid if possible

    I was in the far left lane waiting to turn onto Highland Park when it happened. Due to my vantage point, I couldn’t see much but many folks did get out to make sure the people involved were OK. The far right lane was completely blocked by the flipped-over vehicle.

    And the rainy season is just starting! 

    My bad per SDoT everyone will be biking to work in the rain.  Did I see a Dodo Bird in WS yesterday?

      Oh yes, 10% of us!  Don’t forget we’re also supposed to walk and take scooters, too!

    I’ve been on SB West Marginal Way for over half an hour. This is likely the worst I’ve seen it. I hope this isn’t the new normal when more people go back into offices (but I’m sure it is).

    Stuck on W Marginal. Don’t make the same mistake. Avoid it still. 9:05 am.

    WSB We appreciate you all getting out there and all you do. 

  • payattention September 24, 2020 (12:26 pm)

    MJ. SDOT is CERTAIN there’ll be HUNDRED’S if not THOUSANDS of new people biking everywhere. I’m sure they’ve got facts to back that up. Will they share them???

  • Flipped count? September 24, 2020 (7:10 pm)

    Does on its side count as flipped?  Is it time to reset the counter again?!?

Sorry, comment time is over.
