TRAFFIC, TRANSIT, WEATHER: Friday info, including morning crashes

8:50 AM: A commenter reports the light is out at 35th/Avalon. That’s possibly because of a patchy power outage we’ll be writing about separately.

9:22 AM: That location’s been corrected to 8th/Barton and it’s closed the southbound leg of the intersection, per emergency-radio exchange.

    The traffic signal is out at 35th and Avalon. It’s causing quite a bit of chaos.

Sorry, comment time is over.
