Keeping tabs on Tuesday's morning commute

The total lunar eclipse is over, but we do have our own traffic version of an eclipse in the form of a car versus semi crash on westbound 694 at Rice Street. The carnage is off on the right shoulder.

Good morning, commuters!

The total lunar eclipse is over, but we do have our own traffic version of an eclipse in the form of a car versus semi crash on westbound 694 at Rice Street. The carnage is off on the right shoulder.

In Bloomington, look out for trash on the highway. A garbage truck headed west at East Bush Lake Road was losing its load and leaving debris on the road.

Traffic levels are light at this hour, so aside from those two troublespots, things are moving well.

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.
