Bay Bridge May Close Once Again...

As I have mentioned in one of my previous blogs, the bridge has some malfunctions, and the main one that is causing so many problems is the "S-curve." Caltrans may have to close down the bridge one more time. This S curve has caused too many issues, and recently a truck driver basically flew off the bridge and fell, dying. That is horrible to hear and when I heard about it I felt so bad for the guy. A guy lost his life because Caltrans couldn't fix the problem the first time. So now they are stepping in and are gonna fix it. the bad party is, they may close it before Christmas. And that's gonna be an issue because families may need to travel across the bridge to gather with other family for Christmas, but Caltrans wants to work on it as soon as possible.

Halloween in San Francisco!

San Francisco is allowing people to come down to celebrate their Halloween, but Police Chief's don't want people to come drunk, armed, or show disorderly content in public, like urinating just anywhere. They aren't holding a "Halloween Bash" down there because in the past, people got injured or killed because of people and their stupidity. So they aren't risking it and gave out a reminder: don't bring a gun.

Statistics show:

"In 2006, the last time the city had a sanctioned Halloween party in the Castro, nine people were shot. In the two years before that, a total of five people were stabbed.

In 2007 and 2008, the city had no major outbreaks of violence. Gascón said at a news conference that he wants to build on that success."

Chief Officials want to mantain the success of no outbreaks occuring and are just simply not having a "bash" but they still want people to come down to San Francisco and have a good time having fun.

Problems With The Bay Bridge: Cracks & Curves?


San Franciso is a beautiful place, a lot going on, a lot to enjoy and see, and it is the home of the Bay Bridge. But the bridge is having a lot of complications! Saturday they announced that they found cracks in the bridge, and now this article is saying that there is a new problem they found that was never there before, a curve. Well a curve is not very safe, because if going to fast, accidents may occur. They should not be opening the bridge if there are still isses and problems with it.
