Lafayette preparing to seek state’s help in banning protests on freeway overpass

The city of Lafayette will likely officially ask the state for help in getting supporters of former President Donald Trump off the El Curtola Boulevard overpass.

On the council’s agenda for its meeting Monday is a resolution asking Caltrans and the California Highway Patrol to enforce its own law when it comes to a group of regular demonstrators hanging signs and flags and waving at vehicles below on state Highway 24.
