Clouds, 51 to 56 degrees. The morning commute, guess who will tell you all about it, hi, sue. The east shore freeway, the solid stream of headlights moving at the limit. If your travels take from you the upper portion of the east shore freeway, hercules through san pablo and el cerrito, berkeley into the mcarthur maze, youre looking at about a 26minute drive and thats through the toll plaza. No delays here except for a few minor cash paying folks. Thats not a bad commute. Quiet up there. We do have existing drive times for you in a few minutes.

Lets go to the jam cams. 701, a live look, right now at this is woodhaven road, the southbound ramp to i95. So all traffic, that would typically go south into the city is actually forced to go north the opposite way. Got to

I like him, but, you know, you cant run a place like that. You cant this is a public agency, and you need to run it with austerity, you need to run it with honesty, and that didnt happen. Do you have lawyers looking at this . Like, can you sue . Well, i dont know what grounds well sue on, but, i mean, if we can or not, but the City Solicitors Office is looking at, so well see what happens. I mean, it just im happy for Auditor General depasquale doing what he did. I think it may change the game and change the conversation.
