  • Despite California’s flavored tobacco ban, an ABC7 investigation found just how easy it was to still find and buy flavored tobacco products in the Bay Area (very easy, apparently).

  • BART is replacing some tracks and doing work between the Rockridge and Orinda stations on Saturday and Sunday, so factor that into your plans. There will be a free shuttle bus provided as an alternative. [KNTV]
  • Park officials closed South Park Drive at Tilden Regional Park near the Berkeley foothills to vehicle traffic to make the road safe for migrating newts, who are waking up from hibernation and searching for pools of water to mate in at nearby Wildcat Creek, Regional Parks Botanic Garden, and Tilden Golf Course.

  • Redwood City police are searching for the vehicle involved in a hit-and-run accident near Veterans Boulevard and Maple Street at about 9:25 p.m. Friday night, where a bicyclist and car were involved in a collision. [KPIX]
