SAN LEANDRO — Repair work to a 60-year-old pedestrian bridge that collapsed under the weight of a fallen tree during a wind storm earlier this month will begin as soon as the debris is cleared from it.That process is only now just beginning.“The first thing that needs to be done is to clear the area of the bridge damage itself, the concrete around it, other debris,” San Leandro Unified School District spokesperson Keziah Moss said. “We haven’t even started cleaning out what’s fallen because we keep getting bad weather.”The SLUSD and city of San Leandro announced earlier this week they will join forces to repair the bridge, which connects Cary Drive with Haas Avenue. The bridge runs about 30 feet above the San Leandro Creek and without it, pedestrians are forced to walk a much further distance to connect with the two roads. They also must do so by crossing Bancroft Lane, one of the area’s busiest streets.Several school students in the a...

Now, they’re living out a reality that once seemed unimaginable: paired up in the Giants’ bullpen.
