Niles Canyon Road nighttime closures
Crews are set to begin work to repair a damaged stretch of Niles Canyon Road (Highway 84) between Old Canyon Road and Main Street in Sunol starting next week and running through at least November, with a full overnight closure to be in effect on workdays.
“A new bridge on piles will be constructed at the location of the slip-out in the eastbound direction where a portion of lane collapsed into the creek four months ago,” Caltrans officials said.
Work hours are set for 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. on Mondays through Fridays — motorists will be detoured to Interstate 680 during those times.
The roadway will reopen every morning with one-way traffic control for daytime hours.
‘AA’ financial rating for Pleasanton
The city of Pleasanton’s Joint Powers Financing Authority was recently assigned an “AA” long-term rating by S&P Global Ratings for its series 2024 water revenue bonds.
“Notably, the positive outlook acknowledges the City’s recent initiatives, including the implementation of updated policies and a revised rate structure aimed at bolstering financial resilience. These initiatives reflect the City Council’s commitment to balancing the City’s immediate financial needs with long-term fiscal stewardship,” city officials said in announcing the news last month.
‘Wheel of Fortune’ result
As reported last week, longtime Livermore resident Tammi Barker Neilsen appeared on “Wheel of Fortune” on Friday (June 7) — which made national headlines, as it was Pat Sajak’s final episode as host. How’d she do? Pretty well. Barker Neilsen correctly guessed on Toss Up puzzle and regular puzzle in the popular Before & After category (“Spelling bee in your bonnet”), earning the cash equivalent of $20,890 in prizes including a trip to Barbados, but just missing out on the Bonus Round.
