>> and i'm dan ashley. we'll turn our focus now locally tonight. and we're asking this question, what does it take to keep san francisco in business during big events? >> ended up being one of our slowest weeks since we opened compared with this time last year, it's over an 80% loss in revenue. >> that's how some restaurants describe apec. the week long event in november when san francisco hosted world leaders and 30,000 guests for discussions of international issues and economic importance. today the budget finance committee at city hall heard from some of those business owners with hard numbers in terms of losses, and they were eye opening. abc seven news reporter lyanne melendez is here to talk about the possibility maybe leanne of compensating them. >> yeah you have to feel though for these small business owners, you know, because security was so tight, it was so hard for people to go in and out of there and they never reached these small. they were so excited and

optimistic going into this. they really thought they were going to you know, it was benefit booming. yeah. they thought, well, you know, the mayor of san francisco will have the last word on that compensation. but it appears that these small business is affected by apec will get something right. several thousand dollars to cover their losses. but they say this could have been avoided. many small businesses near moscone center believed apec would deliver substantial gains for them. we now know it had the opposite results. one by one, they spoke of the impact the event had on their businesses as san francisco supervisors listened. we lost close to $30,000 being closed for that time. manuel ramirez owns bonchon korean fried chicken for two middle days of the convention we made for the entire day. >> what we do in one peak hour of weekend operations. >> here's what we know according to a report from the yerba buena community benefit district, all 13 hotels in that neighborhood

did very well. >> apec institute did a lot of good opportunities, but the vast majority of the 113 restaurants and cafes had poor results because the number of visitors to that neighborhood was down by more than 33% on average, the revenue from small businesses was down by more than 64. >> today, some of them complained that the secret service in charge of security, he misled both the city and businesses as apec started to step in. >> we anticipate a three day heavy closure with a little setup. it was much larger than expected, as we can all know. it really became a ten day shutdown for the entire neighborhood, hurting them even more was the constant advice to downtown workers to stay home for fear of traffic jams and disruptions like that trickled into every corner of the downtown and the city in general, and it had tremendous impact in anticipation of the impact apec would have on the neighborhood. >> the board of supervisors passed a resolution to set aside

$10 million in a reserve fund. it has yet to be determined how much compensation these affected businesses will receive. >> we have precedent for going up to around $50,000 per business. i think that's a good goal. the businesses would have to provide financial loss. we've done that in the past with rent relief and other opportunities. businesses say any action should be taken sooner than later. >> now, here's something we learned today. 911 operators were told it was not an option that they had to work overtime during apec. now, think about it. you had the protests in the area. you had delegates and world leaders. so anything could have happened. so they were needed at that time and that meant an added expense. so the supervisor says are also pushing to use some of that reserve money to cover that overtime. another thing that i forgot to mention was that many of these events were catered. all right? so, i mean, why leave the venue?

they didn't go out and look exactly. oh, wow. >> you know, i guess on the positive side, maybe down the road, just a little trickle down kind of idea here. but it did elevate san francisco's impression on the world stage once again. maybe that will help attract some more visitors down the road that could ultimately help these businesses. >> and as we mentioned before, hotels did prosper. i mean, they really did benefit. all right. >> thank you, liane. >> all right. we are on week two of san francisco, banning street vendors on mission street from selling outdoors for 90 days. abc7 news reporter luz pena has been covering this from the very beginning. she's in the newsroom . louis, many of these vendors say they don't have the money to pay rent next month because of this. >> it's heartbreaking. dan these vendors are pleading for city officials to intervene and help them. many of them don't think they will be able to survive 90 days, making 5 to $20 a day, a 2137 mission street. the storefront the city rented for at least 43 vendors to sell indoors during the 90 day ban, we found only ten vendors. it's

stolen items on the sidewalk. 24th street was a hotspot. we drove by it and noticed it was clean. an sfpd was on site a block from this location on lilac alley. the city opened another nine spots for vendors. so now we're at the second location to speak to vendors and figure out how much they're actually making here. hola. we haven't been able to sell anything in here. now bandido. nothing. nada nada, nada, nada. >> come in. susana rojas is the executive director of casa veinticuatro, the nonprofit that runs this site. >> the other people that i've spoken to today tell me they don't have enough money to pay rent. are you hearing the same thing? yes, correct. >> that's that's one of the biggest concerns. >> other vendors are now considering breaking the ban. >> for me, there is no way i can stay in here for another week. >> so what's your plan to go out? >> and if i have to break the law? sorry i try to do my best. i try to comply with the city,

but obviously it doesn't work. >> and this just in. the mayor's office confirmed that starting tomorrow they will begin offering an emergency relief package for low income households for these vendors and begin a marketing campaign to promote the market places and local businesses in that area. in the newsroom, luz pena, abc7 news. >> maybe that will help. all right, loose. thank you very much. >> an elderly man accused of driving drunk and killing a cycling champion in april today says he is not guilty of involuntary manslaughter charges . ethan boyce was killed in the crash on arguello boulevard near inspiration point in the presidio. the 81 year old suspect went before a judge today to answer to charges. as abc seven news reporter suzanne has the story. >> the choices arnold lowe made that day killed ethan boyce, attorney charlene ramon represents the family of ethan boyce, the champion cyclist was struck and killed on april 4th by suspected drunk driver arnold kinman.

on healing and accountability. >> if ethan was alive, what he would tell people is for people to have empathy for mr. lowe because that's the kind of person ethan was. but he would also want to see arnold lowe stand up and admit what he did, admit that he was wrong and say he's sorry. >> neither lowe, his wife, nor his attorney, commented wednesday. lowe will return to court in january in san francisco. suzanne vaughn, abc seven news. >> the owners of a san jose daycare where two children drowned in a pool in october face new charges tonight. the two women appeared in court today, but the case was put over because both asked for an interpreter. the new charges stem from a separate incident involving a different group of children. prosecutors did not go into detail about what happened, but added seven misdemeanor counts that the women face felony charges in the drownings and the defenders had one job.

the spectacular redwoods of big

basin state park are still standing. and in many cases, they're making a miraculous recovery, too. and now researchers say they understand why. abc7 news south bay reporter dustin dawsey shows you what they found inside the trees. >> the historic fires of 2020 took an incredible toll on nature's giants. reminders of the ccu lightning complex fire remain on the mighty redwoods at big basin redwoods state park in the santa cruz mountains. but these hundreds of years old trees remain resilient. >> you know, it wasn't clear initially if they were going to survive. you know, there's not really a precedent for this kind of event. you know, my first impression was this park is destroyed. you know, um, but pretty quickly it became apparent that a lot of those trees had actually survived. >> biologist drew peltier and a team from the save the redwoods league in northern arizona wanted to learn why that was. they knew that some of the biggest redwoods have up to a foot thick of bark to protect the insides of the tree. and when it comes to finding against fires, the study learned what's on the inside matters.

>> trees produce sugars from photosynthesis and then they kind of have two choices they can use it for growth or metabolism or something, or they can store it for later. they have these really old 50 to 100 year old carbon reserves that have accumulated for many decades that they can draw upon to build new leaves and do new photosynthesis. >> that's what we saw when we visited the park. new life from what some experts thought was the death of the tree, the new sprouts coming from what's known as a bud trace, a line that runs from inside the tree to the surface that could lead to new leaves, peltier says in a biology anticipation of an event like the wildfires, some of these trees grew. the bud traces thousands of years ago. so in a sense, then the trees were actually more prepared for the fire than we were. >> yeah, yeah. and so that's kind of the surprise, is that the trees actually, you know, they were able to survive it and they're able to recover. they're not going to look the same as they did in the past and it's going to be a while. um, as to whether or not they'll survive, it seems like they're doing okay, but perhaps they'll be more sensitive to things like

drought. we're definitely a repeat fire. and so those are the types of things that we would hope to avoid for them. >> climate change may make it harder on these trees, but we're learning they remain equipped to survive for the long haul. at big basin redwoods state park, dustin dawsey, abc7 news. >> it's withstood the 1906 and 1989 earthquakes and now is being recognized as a national historic civil engineering landmark. the lower crystal springs dam was completed in 1890 and is still going strong. there is now a plaque to mark this feat. it's part of the watershed that serves about a million people in san mateo and san francisco counties. the dam is located in san mateo county and is right next to 280. the san andreas fault runs less than a mile from where it's located, stands the test of time. it sure does. >> all right. let's turn back for the full weather forecast. >> that's right. let's get to sandyha patel for how much more rain we could get. sandhya, we're going to get some more showers at least for another day. >> all right, dan and amy, let me show you right now what it looks like from zephyr cove. we're going to take a look at
