On most routes, traffic is moving at the posted speeds and drivers are making good time.

On most routes, traffic is moving at the posted speeds and drivers are making good time.

That is not the case everywhere, however. Northbound 169 continues to struggle from Canterbury Road up to 494. That is still 15 to 17 minutes.

Westbound 94 from White Bear Avenue over to Hwy. 280 is still at 26 minutes due to a wreck at Cretin Avenue.

The ramp from northbound Cedar Avenue to westbound Crosstown is blocked with a semi leaking fuel. This might be the day to use 494 for your westbound trip. Or, if you are caught in the backup, head west on 66th Street over to Portland Avenue, then back north to Crosstown.

FILE -- A rent deposit slot at an apartment complex in Tucker, Ga., on July 21, 2020. 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.
