Now that we are in the big dark time of the year, just a friendly reminder to be extra aware of pedestrians and cyclists. They can be difficult to see especially if they’re wearing dark clothing plus the headlight glare and when it’s raining.

If your headed to lower SW Spokane St bridge, I waited a long time 45 minutes ago for bridge to open back up to traffic again but no luck. Might be broken again? Maybe for short period of day? I finally left and used different route after waiting long time….
