It's finally here, Orange County. On Friday, new express lanes on the 405 Freeway opened, providing what officials say is a faster option for those willing to pay and less congestion for those who aren't. "Everyone is going to benefit from this program," Darrell Johnson, CEO of the Orange County Transportation Authority, told KTLA's Ginger Chan. "We’re very proud of the work that we've done with our partners at Caltrans and all of the cities along the corridor."The lanes, which span 16 miles from the 605 Freeway at the Los Angeles County line to State Road 73 in Costa Mesa, use electronic tolling, requiring drivers to have a FasTrak transponder. The actual cost to drivers will fluctuate based on the time of day, the day of the week and the direction of travel - something officials call "congestion management pricing."

Everything has worked out well for New Jersey Devils forward Timo Meier, just like San Jose Sharks coach David Quinn knew it would.Four months after Meier was traded by the Sharks to the Devils, the Swiss-born winger signed an eight-year, $70.4 million contract with New Jersey, making him the team’s highest-paid forward after he registered a 40-goal season.“It’s a hard situation for people,” Quinn said Friday of players like Meier, who constantly hear their names in trade rumors. “But as I used to joke, ‘I don’t feel too sorry for you. You’re going to make about $90 million, so I’ll save the hankies for later.’”Looking back, if the Sharks had given Meier that same contract, it would have been a disaster.The Sharks spun their wheels and missed the playoffs for three straight seasons from 2019 to 2022 even with Tomas Hertl, Logan Couture, Brent Burns, Erik Karlsson, and Meier on the roster.
