Good morning, commuters!

Another quiet start on the roads with light levels of traffic.

For drivers coming in from places such as Annandale and Buffalo, take note that Hwy. 55 will go down to a single lane in each direction between Rockford and Maple Lake starting at 8 a.m.

Minneapolis Bike Week continues today with "Bike to School Day." At least 6,000 Minneapolis School District staff and students are expected to pedal their way to class, so keep an eye peeled for bicyclists and be sure to give them room when passing by.

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.
