Is there something going on or is that just chatter . Its just chatter. I have my Police Radios here in front. Im always listening. Good morning, everyone. If you are driving to the bay bridge toll plaza you will hear slow, or you will see youll hear me say there is slow traffic here. About 15 to 20minute delay. Nothing unusual. No problems on the bridge. Of course, were looking at some of these other commutes. Traffic continues to move along pretty well on the other bridges. Commute on 80 hasnt completely filled in. A little bit slow past highway 4 hercules area and highway 4 is slow out of antioch through pittsburgh and bay point.

To the maze it is taking 48 minutes. When you get past the 48 minutes you will see a backup waiting for you getting into San Francisco. It is backed up now all the way out to the maze. That is another 20 minutes. So we are taking a little bit more than an hour to get into San Francisco. Along that east shore freeway. Also in the east bay, were looking at highway 4. It seems as if the traffic on highway 4 is improved in antioch. But slow in pittsburgh and

These days, when you take a trip to upper Peach Street, it can be hard to imagine how this area of our town looked 100 years ago.
