Which raised all kinds of questions in my mind. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kathleen McKusick Googled it, naturally, as did I\u003c/span> \u003cb>…\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and … there just isn’t a whole lot out there … The best resource?

It’s a noisy park. You can hear the traffic from the new bridge, not to mention planes flying overhead from SFO.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>John Christian:\u003c/b>\u003cb> \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is the first time I’ve been over here. I guess I’m too Hayward-centric. But yeah, I’ve never really seen it from this side, to be honest.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to Christian, the Hayward-San Mateo Bridge was originally proposed in 1922, by \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">the Oakland Chamber of Commerce\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, as a way to jump start commerce between the Peninsula and the East Bay. Construction began in December of 1927. Flash forward to \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">March 2, 1929, and we have …\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[Old timey music]\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The grand opening of what was then called the \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">San Francisco Bay Toll-Bridge\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">! Now, quick production note. Nineteen-twenty-nine is a tricky time for sound reporters in the Bay. Much of the news footage from that era was still silent. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[Archival recording of Calvin Coolidge talking]\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">What talkies there \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">were\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> typically brought sound to big, national news stories. But the bridge opening in 1929 was a big deal for the Bay Area, \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[Sound of Morse code being sent over a telegraph]\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And then-President Calvin Coolidge participated in the dedication by pressing a telegraph button in Washington, D.C., that directed the unfurling of an American flag from the bridge. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[flag unfurling sound, crowd says “Ahhhh”]\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Then-San Francisco Mayor James Rolph, who was known to love attending celebrations of almost any kind, was the biggest local celebrity to show up in person. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">1929 Ford AA Truck engine starts up]\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Not unlike the Golden Gate bridge to the north, this bridge helped farmers get their goods to market. In the 1920s, the region on both sides of the Bay was rural, as opposed to suburban, as it is today. Farms, orchards, canneries, salt harvesting… \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And maybe because it wasn’t designed primarily for commuter traffic, I think it’s worth noting that the original bridge was only 30 feet wide with just two lanes, and about 7 miles long. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>John Christian:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Looking at the new bridge, I mean, compared to the old bridge, this bridge is a monster. You know, this is like, 6 lanes. The original bridge would have been just two lanes, back and forth. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Rachael Myrow (in the field): \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Petite, and also, I have to say, terrifying. Right? Two lanes, two lanes only, one going in one direction, one in the other. 30 feet wide, going over, over the Bay.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>John Christian:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Right.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[dramatic music swells ]\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>John Christian:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Yeah, I mean, it musta, I guess, you know, probably it was kind of fun, I guess. But yeah, probably a little horrifying. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Rachael Myrow (in the field): \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Especially if there’s a stiff wind? Picking up off the water?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>John Christian:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Yeah, I mean…\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Rachael Myrow (in the field): \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Driving a Model T Ford? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>John Christian:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Nobody was blown into the water, as far as I can tell. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fun fact: The original toll was 45 cents … about $8 in today’s money! So, Christian says, adjusted for inflation, it was more expensive to cross in 1929 than it is today! Takes the sting out of today’s $7 toll … Or maybe not…\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Anyways, it wasn’t long before newspaper articles were calling the old bridge “antique.” By 1954, 7,400 cars and trucks were crossing every day. Because the rural towns on either side of the Bay did become suburbs…\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>John Christian:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">You know, it was a small bridge taking you to a small place, you know? And now it’s like, this massive, like, you know, city center to city center. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Rachael Myrow: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And the biggest complaint about this bridge was not how slender it was, but the electric drawbridge that went up on average 6 times a day to \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">let marine traffic pass underneath.\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> That brought cars and trucks on the bridge to a standstill. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So in 1961, the groundwork was laid for the construction of a wider, taller bridge, to be built just a few feet north of the original span.

Then 18 years old, she was home with her younger sister while her mom stayed in Woodside undergoing cancer treatment.

Still, when Fraley and her sister left in the early hours of Aug. 16, after her mom sent a neighbor to look for them, they fully expected to return.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time many people woke up on Aug. 16, the widespread lightning storms had ignited numerous fires in and around the Santa Cruz Mountains, blazes that would later become known as the CZU Lightning Complex fires. In a March 2021 community meeting, Cal Fire said the CZU fires were the largest in the recorded history of Santa Cruz County. They killed one person, forced the evacuation of over 77,000 people in Santa Cruz and San Mateo counties and destroyed 911 homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not long after the CZU fires began, just a few miles away from Fraley's home in the San Lorenzo Valley, Antoñia Bradford rushed around her house gathering her kids and dogs while frantically texting her husband who was in San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I packed up my five kids and my two dogs and grabbed my father's ashes and some paintings,” Bradford said, but, “the way that we were reading things, the fire was moving away from us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A couple of days later, Bradford's home – and Fraley's – had been transformed into rubble and ash.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>'I Can't Abandon This Community'\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Over 10 months after the CZU fires, many are still working to process and rebuild their lives — both physically and emotionally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bradford, who has lived in the Santa Cruz Mountains for 13 years and appreciates how down-to-earth people are, is still mourning the losses. But she is committed to staying and rebuilding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can't even express how challenging it is.

If they didn't have the insurance money, she said there's no way they would be able to afford it. Since the fire, she’s been renting a place in Aptos for $6,500 per month. The Bonny Doon home she rented before it burned cost $3,000 per month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it's not just the cost of rent that's kept her away from her close-knit community. Lehrman said she hasn’t been back to the neighborhood since the fires for personal reasons. “I've chosen not to ever go back up there,” she said. She doesn’t want to ruin the memories she has.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>'Gone in an Instant' – Loss of Home, and Income\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>For others, the fires took away not only a home, but a source of income.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am 76 years old, disabled, a lung cancer survivor, and I will probably end up living in a trailer,” said CZU fires survivor Catherine Wilson.
