All eyes will be on Hwy. 169 through Shakopee and Bloomington where the road is reduced to a single lane in each direction from Hwy. 101 up to Old Shakopee Road.

Good morning commuters!

All eyes will be on Hwy. 169 through Shakopee and Bloomington where the road is reduced to a single lane in each direction from Hwy. 101 up to Old Shakopee Road.

Over the weekend, drivers faced lengthy delays and that is what I'm expecting to see during today's rush hour.

Right now, things are moving along.

All lanes are open farther to the northbound Hwy. 169 from Hwy. 55 to I-94. The Crosstown also is back open minus the Penn Avenue bridge.

I'll be watching the roads and rails this morning reporting where you will run into snags and delays. I'll need some help, too. If you see any delays or problems on the roads, leave a comment here, e-mail drive@startribune.com or sent a tweet to @stribdrive

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.
