Description
It took 45 minutes to go three short blocks on Chrysler Drive today, from Commonwealth Drive to Bayfront Expy at about 6pm to 630pm.The root cause (aside from all the new Facebook traffic) is the construction that has reduced northeast bound traffic from two to one lane on Chrysler between Constitution and Bayfront. Please repaint the lines so there are two northeast bound lanes during construction. Traffic trying to turn right on Bayfront (but can't due to Bridge backup) are needlessly blocking all traffic out of Bohannan Park.

The section of roadway on Chrysler between Constitution and Bayfront will be repaved this weekend and should open all the travel lanes next week. Also, the City is working with Facebook to try and find a less traffic restrictive solution for their buses.
Thank you for reaching out to us on these matters. Some of the construction should be finishing up in the next few months. this hould help with the flow of traffic in the area.

Last night 6/5, my co-workers reported it took 17 minutes from 149 Commonwealth Driveway to the corner at Chrysler and a total of one hour to get to base of the west side of Dumbarton Bridge!!
Both directions on Commonwealth -west and East bound were jam packed at 6pm.
Please have traffic control officers out tonight to guide people to use BOTH lanes between Constitution and Bayfront on Chrysler- people are only using 1 of 2 new lanes.
Traffic signal timing is still an issue after 5pm. Caltrans “says” it’s fixed through their website reporting but it is NOT!
Thank you!
