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.

Marin Transit shifts bus work after rejecting Golden Gate rate proposal

1075 Francisco Blvd. E. — Approximate Site of Proposed Electric-Bus Facility. Marin Transit’s Nov. 2 vote to end its fixed-route contract with Golden Gate Transit shifts responsibility for service on five Marin routes, but does not by itself establish whether riders will see changes in schedules or frequency. The agreement covers 73,000 service hours on Routes 17, 22, 23, 35 and 36, according to the Marin Independent Journal. General Manager Robert Betts said the proposed rate, rising from $177 to as much as $464 per hour, could add $73 million to operating costs over three years.
