“Take out 980, and watch gridlock grow on Oakland city streets,” reader predicts.
With $680,000 in federal funding, part of the “Reconnecting the Town” initiative headed by U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Caltrans will study options for 980 as they consider how communities initially split by transportation infrastructure could be reconnected.
“For too long, I-980 has been a scourge on the East Bay: instead of bringing communities together, it has been a barrier to economic opportunity for the primarily Black neighborhood of West Oakland,” Congresswoman Barbara Lee said in a statement celebrating the new funding. Q: A few months ago, you shot down out-of-hand a reader who suggested reducing the length of the carpool lane on the 880 north approach at the 101 interchange. Having driven this route daily for the last 11 years, I think shortening the carpool lane deserves more thought. Much of the mayhem here is due to drivers staying in the carpool lane as far as possible before trying to cut across 4-5 lanes of merging traffic at the last minute.
