    Low bridge closed to vehicle traffic although they are allowing bikes/peds at this time.

    The lower bridge is stuck again. Biked there to be told there would be a long delay. Cyclists beware!

      SDOT doesn’t have an alert on this – but the web camera does show trucks waiting and gates down…

        Open now.

    What should be open but isn’t are wading pools like at Hiawatha, summer weather is clearly not over and kids are still on Summer break.  Not keeping the  wading pools open till Labor day is not right.  Yes I know Lincoln Park and Splash Park are open, but it is not convenient for many people.

Sorry, comment time is over.
