Bay Bridge Bus Lane May Be an Attractive Idea, but It Could Worsen Congestion
San Francisco Chronicle looks at the complex proposal to set aside a bus-only lane on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. Earlier this week, MTC executive Andrew Fremier told a bridge oversight committee that the scheme would actually slow traffic unless thousands of car commuters switched to buses, and more buses would be needed to accommodate that number of new riders. In spite of several other obstacles identified by staff, the committee reportedly urged further consideration of the plan, and a state lawmaker told the Chronicle he is considering legislation to create the bus lane.

WXYZ reports, Grosse Ile Township, Michigan, announced that the public, non-tolled Grosse Ile Parkway Bridge is expected to close for repairs around May 1 and may not reopen until November. According to the article, “The free bridge carries 75 percent of traffic, and motorists will have to utilize the [privately owned Grosse Ile Toll Bridge] as an alternative route while the bridge is closed.”
