Warriors Parade, Obama Visit Could Spell Heavy Traffic in Bay Area

Heavy traffic is expected in the Bay Area Friday with the Golden State Warriors victory parade, President Barack Obama in town and San Francisco City Hall celebrating its 100th anniversary all scheduled throughout the day.

The Warriors parade was set to begin at 10 a.m. and spanned two miles in downtown Oakland.

Also on Friday, Obama flies to San Francisco for Democratic fundraisers. They include a $10,000-per-person reception hosted by billionaire environmentalist Tom Steyer and a roundtable discussion with some 20 business leaders at the home of Uber investor Shervin Pishevar.

Rolling road closures are expected throughout San Francisco while the president makes his way to the events.

Obama also will deliver remarks at the annual meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, then leave California on Saturday.

Traffic in San Francisco is expected to continue in the evening when the city throws down a mad bash to celebrate the 100th anniversary of City Hall.
