Hey readers! Here are the most widely read stories from the past week:

Local credit unions report high number of new customers on National Bank Transfer Day as Occupy Petaluma continues into its third week.

The 23-year-old woman who was struck by a mail truck while crossing at North McDowell Boulevard and East Washington last Saturday remains in serious condition at Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital.

Heather Kontos, a Casa Grande grad, was walking at the intersection around 6am Saturday, Nov. 5 when she was hit by a semi-truck. She suffered major injuries, including a broken pelvis.

Heritage Salvage owner Michael “Bug” Deakin filed a claim with the city alleging $100,000 in lost business during four months of roadwork on Petaluma Boulevard South.

The city amends its municipal code enabling Petaluma Refuse & Recycling to extend its garbage contract without going out to bid, a move some warn sets a dangerous precedent.
