(Lois Elling/ Flickr)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Well, one San Franciscan \u003cem>loves \u003c/em>the renaming of the Bay Bridge’s western span for Willie Brown, former Assembly speaker, former mayor, newspaper pundit and best connected of lawyers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the state Senate passed \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140ACR65\">the renaming resolution\u003c/a> yesterday, reporters asked Brown if he was happy with the change. “You kidding me? You no longer can call me Willie. You’ve got to call me ‘The Bridge!’ ” He said just thinking about driving across the renamed bridge is “a wonderful experience,” but he added that naming the bridge after him will have a wider meaning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it will be a guidepost for lots of young people in the state of California,” Brown said. “After all, this is the only thing that any of us know of any real significance universal that’s named after a person of color. There is nothing else universal. There are schools, there are roadways, there are a whole lot of other things. But this is California, and to have an African American adorn any instrument in California for the first time in the history of this state is unusually significant.” \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> You no longer can call me Willie. You’ve got to call me ‘The Bridge!’ \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>That’s Brown’s take, but so far, he doesn’t have a lot of company (outside of the legislators who hatched the plan) in cheering for the Willie Brown Bridge. Gov. Jerry Brown let the Legislature know earlier in the week he didn’t like the idea (though he couldn’t stop it since the renaming was a resolution, not a proposed law). The San Francisco Chronicle, which runs Willie Brown’s Sunday column, editorialized against it. Some members of the city’s Board of Supervisors, past and present, turned thumbs-down on the idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if you think that’s just a bunch of local politicos and establishment types leveraging their collective envy or resentment against Willie Brown, check out KQED’s “Forum.” The show ran \u003ca href=\"www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201309120930\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a half-hour segment\u003c/a> yesterday asking whether the bridge should be renamed for the former mayor. Virtually no one had a good word to say for the idea, and after the show, a show intern was busy policing some of the nastier comments that listeners had posted to the “Forum” site. Here’s the show’s audio:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still unknown: Whether the renaming will ever take practical effect. Some are suggesting that Gov. Brown could somehow stop Caltrans from spending money to put up signs for Speaker/Mayor Brown on the bridge (it seems like you’d need an electron microscope to find that line item in the Caltrans budget). And some are actually taking action to stop the renaming from going forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco disability rights activist and good government advocate Bob Planthold has gone to court to keep the Bay Bridge the Bay Bridge. The suit (appended at the end of this post), which names the state and a host of legislative committees and individual lawmakers, essentially says the Legislature rammed through the renaming resolution against the will of local residents, violating their due process rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Planthold’s suit also notes the bridge has already been renamed once: in 1986, for Mayor James “Sunny Jim” Rolph (though weirdly, the lawsuit refers to the late mayor as “James ‘Sunny’ Rudolph”).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the lawsuit brings up an alternative idea for renaming the bridge — one proposed a while back and which, ironically, is gaining new support because of the whole Willie Brown Bridge stink. “There is … an active effort to re-designate the Bay Bridge for Emperor Joshua Abraham Norton … widely credited as first conceiving of the Bay Bridge in a series of proclamations in 1872.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s more on that “active effort”: \u003ca href=\"https://www.change.org/petitions/re-name-the-bay-bridge-the-emperor-norton-bay-bridge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a Change.org petition\u003c/a> to the state. Several thousand people have signed up so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update:\u003c/strong> KQED’s Mina Kim spoke with Corey Cook, who teaches politics at the University of San Francisco, about the plan.

(Lois Elling/ Flickr)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Well, one San Franciscan \u003cem>loves \u003c/em>the renaming of the Bay Bridge’s western span for Willie Brown, former Assembly speaker, former mayor, newspaper pundit and best connected of lawyers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the state Senate passed \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140ACR65\">the renaming resolution\u003c/a> yesterday, reporters asked Brown if he was happy with the change. “You kidding me? You no longer can call me Willie. You’ve got to call me ‘The Bridge!’ ” He said just thinking about driving across the renamed bridge is “a wonderful experience,” but he added that naming the bridge after him will have a wider meaning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it will be a guidepost for lots of young people in the state of California,” Brown said. “After all, this is the only thing that any of us know of any real significance universal that’s named after a person of color. There is nothing else universal. There are schools, there are roadways, there are a whole lot of other things. But this is California, and to have an African American adorn any instrument in California for the first time in the history of this state is unusually significant.” \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> You no longer can call me Willie. You’ve got to call me ‘The Bridge!’ \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>That’s Brown’s take, but so far, he doesn’t have a lot of company (outside of the legislators who hatched the plan) in cheering for the Willie Brown Bridge. Gov. Jerry Brown let the Legislature know earlier in the week he didn’t like the idea (though he couldn’t stop it since the renaming was a resolution, not a proposed law). The San Francisco Chronicle, which runs Willie Brown’s Sunday column, editorialized against it. Some members of the city’s Board of Supervisors, past and present, turned thumbs-down on the idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if you think that’s just a bunch of local politicos and establishment types leveraging their collective envy or resentment against Willie Brown, check out KQED’s “Forum.” The show ran \u003ca href=\"www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201309120930\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a half-hour segment\u003c/a> yesterday asking whether the bridge should be renamed for the former mayor. Virtually no one had a good word to say for the idea, and after the show, a show intern was busy policing some of the nastier comments that listeners had posted to the “Forum” site. Here’s the show’s audio:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Brown could somehow stop Caltrans from spending money to put up signs for Speaker/Mayor Brown on the bridge (it seems like you’d need an electron microscope to find that line item in the Caltrans budget). And some are actually taking action to stop the renaming from going forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco disability rights activist and good government advocate Bob Planthold has gone to court to keep the Bay Bridge the Bay Bridge. The suit (appended at the end of this post), which names the state and a host of legislative committees and individual lawmakers, essentially says the Legislature rammed through the renaming resolution against the will of local residents, violating their due process rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Planthold’s suit also notes the bridge has already been renamed once: in 1986, for Mayor James “Sunny Jim” Rolph (though weirdly, the lawsuit refers to the late mayor as “James ‘Sunny’ Rudolph”).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the lawsuit brings up an alternative idea for renaming the bridge — one proposed a while back and which, ironically, is gaining new support because of the whole Willie Brown Bridge stink. “There is … an active effort to re-designate the Bay Bridge for Emperor Joshua Abraham Norton … widely credited as first conceiving of the Bay Bridge in a series of proclamations in 1872.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s more on that “active effort”: \u003ca href=\"https://www.change.org/petitions/re-name-the-bay-bridge-the-emperor-norton-bay-bridge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a Change.org petition\u003c/a> to the state. Several thousand people have signed up so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update:\u003c/strong> KQED’s Mina Kim spoke with Corey Cook, who teaches politics at the University of San Francisco, about the plan. Cook said that while most people acknowledge Willie Brown’s importance in California politics and history, the reason it’s rubbing so many the wrong way comes down to: “Why this landmark, why at this time?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cook noted that although Gov.

(Dan Brekke/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The No. 1 comment we hear about the new Bay Bridge bike path: “Wow! Cool!” The very next thing we hear: “Where is it exactly? How do I find it?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although it’s clear enough where the bike and pedestrian path is once you’re on the bridge, it’s not at all obvious how one negotiates the welter of freeway flyovers, overpasses and approaches to arrive on the eastern span. So: Here’s a guide on how to get to the bike and pedestrian path, with a couple observations thrown in about access. Note: The instructions below get you only to the bike path. You still have a ride or walk of about 4 miles each way once you reach the path.\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\nTwo main access points are open: Just outside the Ikea store on Shellmound Street in Emeryville and at the corner of Maritime Street and Burma Road, just outside the Port of Oakland. Before we get to a turn-by-turn route, I have a recommendation for anyone cycling to the new path: Use the Shellmound/Ikea entrance, whether you ride from West Oakland or from MacArthur or anywhere else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s better marked. It’s got the best access from rapid transit if you’re not a local. (MacArthur BART is 1.9 miles away. West Oakland is 2.3 miles away via Mandela Parkway. Those are easy 10- to 15-minute rides.) And for my money, the streets leading to the Shellmound access are much bike-friendlier. Yes, they involve some urban riding, and that means being alert and being comfortable taking your place in traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The route to the Maritime Street/Burma Road access, on the other hand, runs through one of the busiest industrial areas in the Bay Area, with lots of trucks traveling to and from the port. That Maritime/Burma access makes a lot more sense if you’re driving and parking there, as adjacent to the West Grand Avenue entrance and exit to the Bay Bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are detailed directions for getting to the new bike path, complete with a slideshow and Google map (after the step-by-step instructions). Driving directions are at the bottom of the post.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bicycling from MacArthur BART: \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n1. After exiting fare gets, go left to access 40th Street. You’ll want to head left, or west, on 40th Street, so you’ll need to cross at the traffic signal at the MacArthur BART driveway.\u003cbr>\n2. \u003cstrong>Head west .1 mile\u003c/strong> on 40th Street under the BART/Highway 24 overpass. The first light you’ll come to is Martin Luther King Jr. Way. (If the first light you hit is Telegraph Avenue, you’re headed the wrong way. Turn around!). \u003cstrong>Total mileage: .1\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n3. \u003cstrong>Continue west .5 mile\u003c/strong> on 40th Street past signals at West Street, Market Street, to Adeline Street, where 40th jogs slightly to the left. \u003cstrong>Total mileage: .6\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n4. \u003cstrong>Continue west .8 mile\u003c/strong> on 40th Street across San Pablo Avenue, then past signals at Hollis Street and Horton Street to the foot of the overpass, where Shellmound Street begins. \u003cstrong>Total mileage: 1.4. \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n5. \u003cstrong>Continue .4 mile \u003c/strong>across overpass as Shellmound curves right (north) to the first traffic signal. The signal marks both the entrance to the Ikea parking lots and one entry to the Bay Bridge bike/pedestrian path. The access is clearly marked with a sign for the Bay Trail and an informational display for the Bay Bridge bike/pedestrian path. \u003cstrong>Total mileage: 1.8.\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n6. \u003cstrong>Entering the path\u003c/strong> at this point allows you to circle under the Shellmound Street overpass and join the main path.\u003cbr>\n7. \u003cstrong>There is a second entrance \u003c/strong>to the path, from southbound Shellmound Street, immediately across the street from the first described above. Walkers and riders can reach it by crossing at the Ikea traffic signal or by looping under the overpass as described in Step 6 above. It affords ready access to people traveling south from Berkeley — say, from Aquatic Park and along Shellmound.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bicycling from West Oakland BART:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>West Oakland Option 1, via Mandela Parkway. \u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n1. \u003cstrong>Exit the station to Mandela Parkway,\u003c/strong> at the east end of the station property (the end nearer downtown Oakland).\u003cbr>\n2. \u003cstrong>Turn left (north) on Mandela. \u003c/strong>Cross 7th Street. (If you find yourself crossing 5th Street, then curving left under a freeway overpass, you’re going the wrong way. Turn around.)\u003cbr>\n3. \u003cstrong>Continue 1.3 miles north on Mandela\u003c/strong> past major intersections at 14th Street (traffic signal at .5 mile), West Grand Avenue (traffic signal at .9 mile), and 32nd Street (1.3 miles). \u003cstrong>Total mileage: 1.3 miles. \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n4. \u003cstrong>Continue .5 mile on Mandela. \u003c/strong>After 32nd Street, Mandela curves gradually to the left. The parkway narrows to a four-lane street at 34th Street. Then the street curves right (east) under the MacArthur Maze freeway overpasses to Horton Street. \u003cstrong>Total mileage: 1.8 miles. \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n5. \u003cstrong>Turn left at Horton Street, \u003c/strong>a four-way stop (you’ll have a Target Store on your left and a Best Buy on your right at the intersection). Continue .1 mile to 40th Street. \u003cstrong>Total mileage: 1.9 miles. \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n6. \u003cstrong>Turn left at 40th Street. \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n7. \u003cstrong>Continue .4 mile \u003c/strong>across overpass as Shellmound curves right (north) to the first traffic signal.

(If you’ve passed Mandela Parkway or Adeline Street after leaving BART, you’re going the wrong way.

You’ll be riding along the BART tracks (overhead and to the left). \u003cstrong>Total mileage: .4 mile.\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n5. \u003cstrong>Continue on 7th Street .6 mile\u003c/strong>, through two viaducts, to Maritime Street. Total mileage: 1.0 mile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>CAUTION: The first viaduct contains two traffic signals and freeway on- and off-ramps for Interstate 880. The second viaduct is shorter but darker with bad pavement. You should expect truck traffic from the freeway ramps all the way to the bike/pedestrian trail access points at Maritime Street and Burma Road.\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>6. \u003cstrong>At the first traffic signal\u003c/strong> after the viaducts, take the gradual right turn onto Maritime Street.

(Dan Brekke/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The No. 1 comment we hear about the new Bay Bridge bike path: “Wow! Cool!” The very next thing we hear: “Where is it exactly? How do I find it?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although it’s clear enough where the bike and pedestrian path is once you’re on the bridge, it’s not at all obvious how one negotiates the welter of freeway flyovers, overpasses and approaches to arrive on the eastern span. So: Here’s a guide on how to get to the bike and pedestrian path, with a couple observations thrown in about access. Note: The instructions below get you only to the bike path. You still have a ride or walk of about 4 miles each way once you reach the path.\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\nTwo main access points are open: Just outside the Ikea store on Shellmound Street in Emeryville and at the corner of Maritime Street and Burma Road, just outside the Port of Oakland. Before we get to a turn-by-turn route, I have a recommendation for anyone cycling to the new path: Use the Shellmound/Ikea entrance, whether you ride from West Oakland or from MacArthur or anywhere else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s better marked. It’s got the best access from rapid transit if you’re not a local. (MacArthur BART is 1.9 miles away. West Oakland is 2.3 miles away via Mandela Parkway. Those are easy 10- to 15-minute rides.) And for my money, the streets leading to the Shellmound access are much bike-friendlier. Yes, they involve some urban riding, and that means being alert and being comfortable taking your place in traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The route to the Maritime Street/Burma Road access, on the other hand, runs through one of the busiest industrial areas in the Bay Area, with lots of trucks traveling to and from the port. That Maritime/Burma access makes a lot more sense if you’re driving and parking there, as adjacent to the West Grand Avenue entrance and exit to the Bay Bridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Every temblor is different, so it’s hard to generalize about what you should do.

Morgan says a level head is vital to staying safe and alive after a big quake. Once the shaking stops, take a moment to assess the situation around you before doing anything. What’s the condition of the roadway – does it seem buckled? Does the self-anchored suspension tower above you look stable? Is there anything else above you that might fall? Are there car fires? Are there live wires? What's around you that looks hazardous? And what about you – are you injured but perhaps don't feel it because your adrenaline is flowing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When that top section collapsed (in Loma Prieta),\" Morgan said, \"there were one or two vehicles on the top section. … Two of those vehicles actually drove into the collapsed section more out of panic than anything else.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c!--more-->Third,\u003c/strong> keep your initial assessment in mind when deciding whether to help quake victims on the bridge.

A first-aid kit is always good to have, as well as water, a solar or hand-cranked radio (tuned to KQED 88.5 FM, of course, for continuing coverage), a flashlight in case the quake hits at night and knocks out power, blankets and cash.

In that quake, a 50-foot section of the upper deck collapsed onto the lower deck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Albany resident Heather MacClelland was on the bridge that day -- and even all these years later, her story gives me chills. I invited her to take her first ride over the new bridge Tuesday and share her 24-year-old account.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Oct. 17, 1989, MacClelland wanted to return a dress at Macy's. And since the World Series was going on (remember that: Giants vs. A's?), she figured there wouldn't be much traffic. She was on the incline section of the bridge, heading toward San Francisco, when she felt some shaking. She didn't think much of it. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I thought my car was out of alignment, because I'd just had some tires replaced, and I thought they did something wrong,\" she recalls. Some people pulled over, but she still didn't think much of it. Apparently plenty of other people didn't either, because \"a pack of cars\" also kept going. Then \"for some reason we all slowed down as a group, until we came to a stop,\" she said, \"but none of us knew why. It was almost more instinct than anything else.\"\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People started getting out of their cars. \"What was really strange was how quiet it was. There was just this silence that you don’t hear in the city,\" MacClelland said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said people were trying to get radio news, but all they heard was static, until MacClelland's car radio finally tuned in a station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first thing they heard \"was a woman screaming, 'The Bay Bridge has collapsed! The Bay Bridge has collapsed!' and we all started laughing because we were standing on it.\" Then the radio announcer said the caller's report was unconfirmed, but did state there had been an earthquake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And we all started looking at each other. 'Oh, that's what the shaking was.'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Then the woman screams at him, 'I’m watching it on TV, the Bay Bridge has collapsed!' \" MacClelland said. \"Everyone's eyes got huge\" as the reality sank in. \"But the scary part was, we didn’t know which way to go. If (the bridge) \u003cem>had\u003c/em> collapsed which direction do we go? So we all started looking at each other, like, what do we do next? And then headlights started coming back to us and we thought, OK, we go the other way.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MacClelland was on the westbound section of the incline, but before the 50 foot section of upper-deck roadway had collapsed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MacClelland said no one panicked. They all got turned around, then were heading back toward Oakland. What was also scary, she said, is that no cars were coming toward them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Cypress (structure) had collapsed,\" she recalled, referring to the double-decker freeway section that had collapsed onto itself. \"I didn’t know that, and I was expecting when I turned around that I was going to have to dodge cars coming toward me, but there weren’t any cars coming toward us. ... It had this very eerie feeling. I knew something really horrible had happened; I just didn’t know what it was.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s strange to be on the freeway backwards,\" she continued. \"I had to exit backwards off an entrance to get off the freeway. I got off as soon as I could because I didn’t know if people would come towards me or not.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once off the freeway, she went straight to a friend's house. Just before heading for San Francisco, she had dropped off her friend, and she knew the woman would be worried. MacClelland's friend burst into tears when MacClelland found her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MacClelland said she feels safer on the new bridge and she likes the \"clean and sleek\" look of the new tower. But she likes the old bridge, too. \"I'm going to be one of those old people going, 'I remember when the bridge used to look like an erector set.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Katrina Schwartz contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

In that quake, a 50-foot section of the upper deck collapsed onto the lower deck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Albany resident Heather MacClelland was on the bridge that day -- and even all these years later, her story gives me chills. I invited her to take her first ride over the new bridge Tuesday and share her 24-year-old account.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Oct. 17, 1989, MacClelland wanted to return a dress at Macy's. And since the World Series was going on (remember that: Giants vs. A's?), she figured there wouldn't be much traffic. She was on the incline section of the bridge, heading toward San Francisco, when she felt some shaking. She didn't think much of it. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I thought my car was out of alignment, because I'd just had some tires replaced, and I thought they did something wrong,\" she recalls. Some people pulled over, but she still didn't think much of it. Apparently plenty of other people didn't either, because \"a pack of cars\" also kept going. Then \"for some reason we all slowed down as a group, until we came to a stop,\" she said, \"but none of us knew why. It was almost more instinct than anything else.\"\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People started getting out of their cars. \"What was really strange was how quiet it was. There was just this silence that you don’t hear in the city,\" MacClelland said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The Bay Bridge has collapsed!' and we all started laughing because we were standing on it.\" Then the radio announcer said the caller's report was unconfirmed, but did state there had been an earthquake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And we all started looking at each other. 'Oh, that's what the shaking was.'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Then the woman screams at him, 'I’m watching it on TV, the Bay Bridge has collapsed!' \" MacClelland said. \"Everyone's eyes got huge\" as the reality sank in. \"But the scary part was, we didn’t know which way to go. If (the bridge) \u003cem>had\u003c/em> collapsed which direction do we go? So we all started looking at each other, like, what do we do next? And then headlights started coming back to us and we thought, OK, we go the other way.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MacClelland was on the westbound section of the incline, but before the 50 foot section of upper-deck roadway had collapsed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MacClelland said no one panicked. They all got turned around, then were heading back toward Oakland. What was also scary, she said, is that no cars were coming toward them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Cypress (structure) had collapsed,\" she recalled, referring to the double-decker freeway section that had collapsed onto itself. \"I didn’t know that, and I was expecting when I turned around that I was going to have to dodge cars coming toward me, but there weren’t any cars coming toward us. ... It had this very eerie feeling. I knew something really horrible had happened; I just didn’t know what it was.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s strange to be on the freeway backwards,\" she continued. \"I had to exit backwards off an entrance to get off the freeway. I got off as soon as I could because I didn’t know if people would come towards me or not.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once off the freeway, she went straight to a friend's house. Just before heading for San Francisco, she had dropped off her friend, and she knew the woman would be worried. MacClelland's friend burst into tears when MacClelland found her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MacClelland said she feels safer on the new bridge and she likes the \"clean and sleek\" look of the new tower. But she likes the old bridge, too. \"I'm going to be one of those old people going, 'I remember when the bridge used to look like an erector set.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Katrina Schwartz contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Cars were bumper to bumper at the toll plaza early and the speed across the bridge was about 40 mph, the CHP said.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>KQED's Dan Brekke gave this report from earlier in the commute, around 7 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>For whatever reason, the commute down the Eastshore Freeway through Berkeley seemed to get heavy and slow earlier than usual this morning. It could have been a surge of people returning to work after Labor Day. Or maybe it was a deliberate slowdown in the pace of the metering lights at the Bay Bridge Toll Plaza to feed traffic onto the new span more deliberately than usual. Or perhaps something unknown. Or all of the above.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I caught a ride in the casual carpool from North Berkeley with a Prius driver who is very … deliberate. Traffic looked terrible from the University Avenue overpass and was backed up on the entrance ramp. But she worked her way over to the carpool lane toward the bridge without much of a problem, and from there we cruised — first slowly, then almost at the speed limit — all the way on to the bridge. Traffic on the span itself seemed lighter and calmer than usual with little of the jockeying and lane changing you expect in the morning commute. Then, as the new bridge’s suspension tower came into view, everyone seemed to slow down to take in the sight. Even though the California Highway Patrol has been warning people not to use the new right-hand shoulder unless they have an emergency, I saw one driver parked there, apparently enjoying a stop-and-gawk moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After that, the bridge returned to normal as we passed through the cleaned-up Yerba Buena tunnel. Having gotten their first look at the new bridge, most drivers seemed to step on it as they emerged onto the western suspension span.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.contracostatimes.com/news/ci_24002703/first-morning-commute-new-bay-bridge-span-underway\" target=\"_blank\">Contra Costa Times reports\u003c/a> that the CHP said one driver already had been arrested for DUI in the wee hours, near the toll plaza, and \"another driver was caught stopped on the old eastern section of the bridge taking photographs, (CHP Officer Sam) Morgan said.

Cars were bumper to bumper at the toll plaza early and the speed across the bridge was about 40 mph, the CHP said.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>KQED's Dan Brekke gave this report from earlier in the commute, around 7 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>For whatever reason, the commute down the Eastshore Freeway through Berkeley seemed to get heavy and slow earlier than usual this morning. It could have been a surge of people returning to work after Labor Day. Or maybe it was a deliberate slowdown in the pace of the metering lights at the Bay Bridge Toll Plaza to feed traffic onto the new span more deliberately than usual. Or perhaps something unknown. Or all of the above.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I caught a ride in the casual carpool from North Berkeley with a Prius driver who is very … deliberate. Traffic looked terrible from the University Avenue overpass and was backed up on the entrance ramp. But she worked her way over to the carpool lane toward the bridge without much of a problem, and from there we cruised — first slowly, then almost at the speed limit — all the way on to the bridge. Traffic on the span itself seemed lighter and calmer than usual with little of the jockeying and lane changing you expect in the morning commute. Then, as the new bridge’s suspension tower came into view, everyone seemed to slow down to take in the sight. Even though the California Highway Patrol has been warning people not to use the new right-hand shoulder unless they have an emergency, I saw one driver parked there, apparently enjoying a stop-and-gawk moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After that, the bridge returned to normal as we passed through the cleaned-up Yerba Buena tunnel. Having gotten their first look at the new bridge, most drivers seemed to step on it as they emerged onto the western suspension span.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.contracostatimes.com/news/ci_24002703/first-morning-commute-new-bay-bridge-span-underway\" target=\"_blank\">Contra Costa Times reports\u003c/a> that the CHP said one driver already had been arrested for DUI in the wee hours, near the toll plaza, and \"another driver was caught stopped on the old eastern section of the bridge taking photographs, (CHP Officer Sam) Morgan said.

The discovery threatened to delay the bridge's opening by months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bridge will open with a temporary fix for the broken rods while the permanent repair, expected to be completed in December, is being installed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Transportation officials approved the temporary fix last month and voted to open the bridge as originally planned around the Labor Day weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Gordon said on Monday that there was not enough time for a public celebration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
