		<description><![CDATA[Commuters who drive the Benicia/Martinez Bridge from Solano to Contra Costa County now have some extra room for their drive: a fourth southbound lane and wider road shoulders. Those entering the bridge from Interstate 780 also have a second merging lane to avoid traffic backup. The new features, finished over the weekend, were in place for the the commute today as Caltrans wraps up a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A lawsuit challenging funding for BART&#8217;s planned rail extension to the Warm Springs district in Fremont is the latest friction in a long-running dispute about how to expand public transit in the Bay Area.  On one side, some transit rebels say expanding BART is the wrong way to go, and wrong thing to do with sales taxes and toll money. &#8220;Too many people have [...]]]></description>
