Good morning, Oakland.

Girls Inc. of Alameda County celebrated 30 graduating seniors from its college access program on Monday, May 24 at its annual college shower — local partners donated essential supplies and awarded $40,000 in scholarships — and honored a longstanding commitment to supporting 1,670 youth in Oakland.

Caltrans officials held a community meeting Saturday to gather input on a study addressing a decades-old ban on heavy trucks along I-580 from Foothill Boulevard to Grand Avenue.

Many residents worry that lifting the ban will worsen local air quality and safety, and some have started a petition.
