The Metropolitan Transportation Commission took no official action Wednesday afternoon, but after a two-hour discussion it was evident that officials are ready to ask voters in nine Bay Area counties in June to approve a $3 toll increase on the region's seven state-owned toll bridges, phased in a dollar at a time over as many as eight years. The decision on whether to go to the ballot in June, and the details of Regional Measure 3, will be made at a Jan. 24 meeting.           Read More                   Crash involving FedEx big rig snarls traffic on I-880 in Oakland           Read More                   Supervisor Jane Kim takes first step to run for SF mayor           Read More                   Thomas Fire on verge of becoming the biggest blaze in state history           Read More           Sign up for more Newsletters!           72 things to do in the Bay Area before you die           Read More                   Ammunition, tactical gear stolen from ICE agent's car in Oakland           Read More                   East Bay gang crackdown nets eight arrests           Read More                   Freezing temperatures forecast for the San Francisco Bay Area           Read More                   Report: Raiders' Sean Smith facing trial on assault and battery charges           Read More                   Bay Area Rep.
