(KRON) -- For anyone who travels westbound on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge at rush-hour, the glut of traffic means no one is getting anywhere fast. In addition to slow commutes, gridlocked cars send pollution into Richmond.

Lawmakers are calling for a third westbound lane to be added during the morning commute, as well as moving a bike lane to the lower deck during those hours.Richm...
