7:45 a.m. update: Crowds, but no crashes

The good news is that we have no crashes or incidents on the road at this hour. We do have places where things do slow to a crawl.

Folks are definitely back from vacation this week as witnessed by the heavier levels of traffic, at least compared to last week.

The good news is that we have no crashes or incidents on the road at this hour. We do have places where things do slow to a crawl.

Those include brief slowdowns on northbound 169 from County Road 18 up to Anderson Lakes Pkwy., southbound 494 from 94 down to 394, and northbound 35E from County Road 42 up to Cedar Avenue.

No suprise that southbound 35W from County Road 10 to 694 is packed. It's also quite packed on 694 in both directions from University Avenue to Hwy. 252.

Plan on tight traffic on eastbound Crosstown from Tracy Avenue over to 35W. Westbound drivers will find sluggish conditions from 28th Avenue over to Hwy. 100.

As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.

It’s too soon to tell how much the immigration crackdown is to blame.
