If you take Cloverdale through South Park, its closed for police activity. Just FYI.

Nothing on the regular police or fire logs for that area this morning so might have been a warrant situation.

  Yeah, I checked the SPD twitter/ blotter too, to see what that was all about, and couldn’t find details either. I wasn’t at the blocked intersection but definitely saw all the police cars and lights up ahead. It was around 10th & Cloverdale? I assume the buses were able to detour…

    Whatever it was, they just announced a short time ago that the road had reopened, so it was no quick in/out. I’m asking SPD.

      Any update?

      I never got a reply. Asking again in the morning, it’s all I can do.

At 6:30 this morning it looked like a laundry basket in the left hand lane of the WS Bridge just before the walking overpass. Also after you crest over the hill climbing the WS bridge off in the right hand land two cars were stopped with their hazzards on. Not sure if they hit each other as they were both out of their cars looking at the cars.

Sorry, comment time is over.
