Keeping tabs on Friday's morning commute

Traffic is extremely light at this hour. Roads are in great shape. And it's Friday. Do I need to say any more?

Good morning, commuters!

Traffic is extremely light at this hour. Roads are in great shape. And it's Friday. Do I need to say any more?

A reminder that the Crosstown will shut down in both directions between Hwy. 100 and I-35W from 10 p.m. Friday until 5 a.m. Monday. Crews will be taking down the Xerxes Avenue Bridge. The advertised detour will route motorists along I-494.

I'll be keeping an eye on the roads and rails this morning, reporting any delays or issues — and I will need your help.

If you see or hear about any congestion, delays or problems, e-mail drive@startribune or tweet @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.
