This is a look at interstate 880 in oakland. Bay bridge is light so far. Some schools may not be in session in this columbus day. And eventually into San Francisco, on the 101, no problems. Both southbound and northbound 101 look good from novado to san raphael. Again, bart is not on strike. The deadline has been extended to midnight. We have team coverage. Shes live at the Pleasant Hill station, but we begin with ktvu reporter with the management and what they call the best and final offer. Here at the cal trans, they are set to show up saying we made our final offer. Bart management has said its done presenting offers.

Shovelready private sector infrastructure project. How many times were we promised in the stimulus bill that we were going to create x number of jobs that were shovel ready, and most of that 800 billion went to public employment, not to shovelready jobs.
