Bay Bridge eastbound lane closures could snarl traffic

On a clear evening the span looks almost calm, a long ribbon of steel carrying headlights from one shore to the other. Then a message board blinks, a lane drops away, and the rhythm breaks. Bay Bridge closures of this kind rarely last all day, yet they can still turn a familiar crossing into a slow crawl for anyone headed toward the East Bay after dark. Caltrans has scheduled overnight work on eastbound lanes so crews can paint the structure, a task that sounds ordinary until it meets the volume of a bridge that never really empties.

Fatal hit-and-run: Witness, QR code helped police find driver

New court records reveal how a witness and a QR code helped police track down a suspected drunken driver after a fatal hit-and-run crash in Berkeley this week. The Alameda County district attorney's office has charged Nickolaus Messina with two felonies in connection with the Nov. 3 crash at Ashby Avenue and Regent Street that killed Dawn Marie Matthews , 64, of Hercules. Messina, a 66-year-old Oakland resident, faces charges of vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and felony hit-and-run resulting in death, according to court records filed Thursday. Berkeley police say a witness encountered Messina driving a gray Kia Soul near Russell Street and Pine Avenue just before the fatal crash. Messina said he had been drinking and was slurring his speech, the witness told police. As Messina left, the witness photographed the Kia, remembered part of its license plate and called BPD to report a suspected drunken driver, police wrote. Investigators also recovered debris from the crash scene that helped identify the involved vehicle, authorities said. One piece of the debris contained a QR code linked to a 2023-25 Kia Soul, police wrote. Using witness statements, evidence from the scene and Flock license plate reader cameras , police identified the

Annual report shows sharp rise in child homelessness in San Francisco

This year’s Point-in-Time Count found a significant increase in the number of homeless children in San Francisco over the last two years, which local experts and advocates say is in line with a rising need for support for homeless families. The San Francisco Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing presented its full report on data from the Point-in-Time Count conducted in January to the Homelessness Oversight Commission on Thursday. The Point-in-Time Count is conducted every two years as part of a federally mandated evaluation by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The collected data are often used to shape policy decisions. The 2026 report was meant to be released last month, but it was delayed until just after the election. The report showed a 27% increase in homelessness among children since the 2024 count — from 618 to 786. Of those counted, 190 were unsheltered, according to the report. This year’s count included changes to its methodology — for instance, the tally was conducted in the morning rather than at night, which advocates have said makes it more challenging to compare the results with previous years. “The PIT Count is never a perfect count,” said Christin Evans, who
