Year. And unfortunately, this terrible thing happened on Christmas Eve, just before midnight. It is our understanding, from both the chp and the Alameda County sheriffs department, that his body will be taken to a local Memorial Chapel in tracy. At that point were told the family, the local church, both the officer and his wife were very active in the church. The Mission City Church west did speak with the past or there today. Arrangementes are being made by the family to lay this officer to rest. Unfortunately, the procession started just as were seeing rush hour traffic in oakland. It could take some time. Probe an hour or so before they arrive in tracy. All right. Thank you very much. Laura anthony reporting, following had procession along, for the officer killed on Christmas Eve while looking for impaired drivers and apparently killed by an impaired driver. A bell toll ceremony will take place tomorrow to honor him. It is a centuries old Law Enforcement tradition to honor officers

They havent gotten far enough to talk about how much it would cost you but people can use the express lane in the hopes of keeping people moving at 45 miles an hour. The possibility of carpool lanes. There are none on 101 or 280 north of redwood city. That has evolved into talk of express lanes. Now there are questions where would the money go. Would this cause congestion and push traffic on to neighborhood streets. In some sections of the freeway they would repurpose existing lanes. And another section they would use the shoulder to add a lane. So the idea may go before San Francisco supervisors in february. Would you use it . Would you pay to go a little faster.
