Fallen tree destroys bridge in San Leandro

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 05:05:55 GMT

SAN LEANDRO Calif. (KRON) — A pedestrian bridge destroyed in San Leandro during the recent storms is forcing residents and school kids to use detours. The city and school district are working on solutions to repair and replace the nearly 60-year-old structure. "It's pretty dramatic. You can see there are two trees that collapsed. One right here in the foreground -- it dropped,” neighbor Bill Bruin said. It has been 10 days since a giant eucalyptus tree leveled a pedestrian bridge in San Leandro. Since 1965 the pedestrian bridge has linked Cary Drive with Haas Avenue. It was brought down in strong winds, knocking another tree out with it. Photos: California ‘super bloom’ may be coming after historic rain "You can see it impacted the neighbor over there. And, at the time, it took out his powerlines and fell into the street,” Bruin said. Bruin lives nearby and says his family, like others, used the bridge often. Leading up to the storms he feared this could happen. "We have be...

Sinner’s powerfully steady baseline game wore down Alcaraz, who appeared to be cramping early in the decisive third set while he also dealt with an apparent finger injury. He will lose the No. 1 ranking to Novak Djokovic.Sinner, the 21-year-old who made the Miami Open final last year but hasn’t been past the quarterfinals of a major, will face fourth-seeded Daniil Medvedev of Russia in the championship match Sunday. Medvedev has beaten Sinner in all five meetings. Alcaraz had been so dominant recently, he hadn’t lost a set since February before Sinner’s rally in the Miami humidity. The Alcaraz hype train has been so breakaway NBA stars Luka Doncic and Jimmy Butler showed up to watch th...

Balanced Magic rally for victory at Washington

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 05:05:55 GMT

The Orlando Magic have a clear hierarchy in the type of field-goal attempts they want: shots near the rim, free throws and feet-set 3-pointers.The Magic are mostly successful in these desires, being top 10 in shot frequency at the rim (10th) and free-throw rate (6th). Orlando doesn’t take many 3s.But most modern defenses are designed to take away these shots, leaving one area of the floor open: the midrange.The Magic aren’t shy when it comes to taking intermediate shots and they weren’t in Friday’s 116-109 road win over the Washington Wizards (34-43) at Capital One Arena.Nearly one-third (32.2%) of their field-goal attempts come from the midrange, the 12th-highest mark in the league, including 11% (8th-highest) from “long midrange,” according to database Cleaning The Glass.“You don’t want to take away from what the game is giving you in those moments,” coach Jamahl Mosley said ahead of Friday’s win. “Early on, you wan...
