7:45 a.m. update: Lights out

According to a Stribdrive follower, power outages in the south metro have left traffic signals in the blinking mode in several places. Use caution at busy intersections. One is 160th Street and Pilot Knob.

According to a Stribdrive follower, power outages in the south metro have left traffic signals in the blinking mode in several places. Use caution at busy intersections. One is 160th Street and Pilot Knob.

There are plenty of lights on westbound 94, brake lights that is. A crash at 35E and 94 in downtown St. Paul has traffic stacked up from Hwy. 61. Ahead, it's just plain miserable from Dale Street past Franklin Avenue where crews are still working to remove a tree that fell on the highway. That is 30 minutes.

Traffic on northbound Cedar Avenue is heavy from County 42 up to the Minnesota River. Northbound 35W is the same with 15 minutes from County 42 up to 494.

On westbound 694, the usual delays are in place from 35E over to Central Avenue. That is 15 minutes.

Southbound 35W is crammed from Lake Drive to 694. Plan on 13 minutes there.

Westbound Hwy. 36 bunches up around Snelling Avenue, but still not a horrible drive from Hwy. 61 to 35W. Plan on 14 minutes.

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.
