    The high bridge work does not impact traffic as they’re on the shoulder.

      It’s a distraction if nothing else. We just drove by and it involves multiple vehicles on the inside “shoulder” including a truck with illuminated warning signage.

    Any idea what happened on Fauntleroy near Gatewood school this morning around 7:45? I saw a backup and flashing police lights but turned off to another street to avoid it. It looked like it was at the corner just past the school headed north. Didn’t see anything on the 911 log, so guessing/hoping it wasn’t serious.

      Nobody texted us about anything at the time, and there’s nothing on the SFD log, so nothing requiring major medical attention. Police log has only a “wires down” report on California near the school.

Sorry, comment time is over.
