9:11 am
crime may be up, it's not at historic levels. harbin forte was on the oakland police commission until she was removed by mayor tao last year. oakland city council member carol fife sees the recall as a political stunt. it's very disturbing that an individual that was released from the police commission for a number of factors is a part of an effort to unseat a newly elected mayor, harbin forte dismisses such accusations. >> what's happening in oakland is serious. it is significant and we don't need anybody in this process who is trying to are trying to settle a grudge, and i certainly am not doing that. >> mayor tao's office did not respond to requests for comment. the mayor now has seven days to respond to the letter. in oakland, anser hassan, abc seven news. >> a hindu place of worship was hit with anti-india graffiti in hayward vijay's sherawali temple was vandalized in support of a sikh separatist movement. it calls for establishing a homeland in northern india. this

housing, and some of them can be . >> we need to make sure that our very high transfer tax is not making that economic impossible. and from housing to policing, prop e looks to lighten the load of paperwork on officers. >> right now, it's taking up about a third of their time. the measure also makes way for the use of surveillance video drones and facial recognition. it's so important to make sure that we are giving the tools, but that doesn't mean we let up on reforms. >> that doesn't mean that we don't focus on making sure that there's clear reporting and transparency. >> and finally, to the fentanyl crisis and proposition f, it would require people struggling with addiction to be enrolled in treatment in order to continue receiving welfare, not requiring them to be clean and sober, but requiring that they be in a treatment program if they want benefits of the city. the mayor

first introduced the idea last year, and it faced immediate scrutiny when they say this is a punitive measure by denying people access to ga. >> but it's more punitive to me when a person is lying down on the streets and dying and we just walk past them every day, we're not taking away shelter options. >> we're not taking away housing options. we're not taking away the door that opens to help people struggling get the help and the support they need. tara campbell, abc seven news the snow in the sierra is bringing dangerous conditions for drivers this weekend. >> if you're driving on i-80, chains are required. officials are reporting multiple accidents and spinouts experience coming up here. >> there was a lot of snow, so we've seen maybe 3 or 4 accidents. well, we were trying to make it to tahoe donner. but we underestimate how long it was going to take. there in the snowy conditions. >> relatable, right? the storm
9:19 am
brought some much needed snow to the area. in fact, the berkeley snow lab recorded 30% of the average snowpack before the start of the weekend, compared to 185% from the year before. for and here's video proof of that. yes, i took this video last year when i was up in tahoe, a time when the area had plenty of snow, and you can see this guy, no shirt, no jacket, just shoveling the snow from the roof. and he said, you know what? that means? that's a tahoe native right there. and then you look at us this morning, bundled up as we walk outside because it is cold. >> so still out there? yes. and the cold air in san francisco, certainly not as cold as it was in our inland valleys, because the frost advisory was for the inland valleys all around the bay, but closer to the water. we held on to some of the 40s and another frosty night tonight as our frost advisory goes into effect at midnight through 10:00 monday morning. look at the flow out of the north there and some of the showers right along the
9:20 am
coastline. so we are certainly in a cold trajectory as we go through the next couple of days. and the storm track is active in the pacific. but going up and over the ridge, we're going to see a few very weak systems slide down and just kind of graze the bay area come tuesday and wednesday, and barely a level one on our storm impact scale. we'll get to that in just a moment. it is 44 in san francisco, 45 in oakland. half moon bay is in the upper 40s with low 40s san jose and hayward. and a look from our sutro tower camera skies are clear, temperatures are cold, and our inland valleys with santa rosa actually the mildest at 42 upper 30s. petaluma and fairfield with 37. in concord, 35 livermore and napa. so finally coming up, we're in the upper 20s in our east bay inland valleys, and we will see that wind chill once again, perhaps, but more likely, less wind. tonight we saw 24. it felt like 24 by the delta this morning, but chilly conditions continue
9:21 am
throughout the morning hours. we'll have a dry day today. sunnier today than it will be on monday. cloudy will be increasing. no rain though the next chance of rain is a very weak system. arriving on tuesday morning. here's a look at the day to day with the clear sky. and then as we get into the overnight hours, it's frosty waking up to a little bit more cloud cover. this may help us just a little bit, keeping us perhaps out of the 20s, but still, that frost advisory tuesday morning. here comes a little bit of scattered shower activity, and as we go through the rest of the morning, you can see 930 hung up along the coast there. that will probably be our best rainfall totals right along the shoreline for a 10th. you can see half moon bay. maybe san mateo and san francisco. otherwise a couple hundredths to near nothing at all. right on through tuesday. then another system takes another familiar track on wednesday. but this could be a better snow maker for the mountains. notice we could see hopefully a foot of rain, a foot of snow, that rain
9:22 am
translating into snow with the cold air in the mountains. 55 in oakland. look for 53. in fremont . so temperatures cool. but at least we're getting into the 50s. the wind will be at the coast, so less of that today. and then overnight tonight through your early morning tomorrow, the frost advisory with freezing temperatures to the low 40s and the accuweather seven day forecast level one system on tuesday and wednesday. very minor. and then a break on thursday and perhaps more rain into next weekend. >> all right, a busy week and a cold week that's sticking with us. how long is that frost advisory in effect though. just a reminder about to expire next 30 minutes or so okay, so it's still still in effect with us for a little bit. >> the dogs have little sweaters or something. the little good idea >> all right. thank you lisa. we'll be right back. >> look, mom, i found one. oh, yeah, you did. >> but we need an atm from our bank. unless you want to spend a small fortune in fees. >> uh, no. thank you. banking with us means more fee free atms

9:25 am
$224 million safety plan to try to deter suicides on the bridge is now finished. nearly a decade after the project was approved. they're now sits a suicide net installed on both sides of the bridge. abc seven news reporter j.r. stone found mixed reactions to this new addition from a distance, you don't notice it, but look closely just below the sidewalks on both sides of the golden gate bridge and you'll see a net it provides people a second chance. >> it's a steel net, one that if it had existed, then it may have caught kevin hines. >> when he jumped off the golden gate bridge. many years ago, a move that he says he instantly regretted. hines, though, was one of the few who survived, crediting the coast guard doctor and a sea lion that he named herbert for saving him. he believes this steel net would have been a difference maker. in his case. >> i would have hesitated, i believe, with enough time for patrol officers to wonder, why
9:26 am
is that kid just standing there, leaning over the rail, crying his eyes out? >> people who come to the bridge to harm themselves are in a tremendous amount of pain, and they want to escape pain. a fall into the net is one that will be painful. it is stainless steel. it's a 20 foot fall uh- it will. it will be incredibly painful and may cause injury. >> and while paolo schwartz of the golden gate bridge highway and transport district admits that the steel net might not stop all jumps, last year there were 14 suicides here, well below the 30 that are usually seen at the golden gate bridge. >> each year. but some have question the project, one that cost $224 million. >> i have not seen convincing evidence that we're actually going to be saving that many lives, or that the several hundred million invested this way was the best way of saving the most lives. doctor john crews wrote a column in clinical psychiatry news where he
9:27 am
questioned the lack of data on regional suicide rates. >> after these type of measures have been put into place, saying he is doubtful that those working so hard to get to the golden gate bridge just won't go somewhere else, and it does not seem on the face of it, logical to me to say that someone that determined to die is only determined to die because the golden gate bridge has such a magnetic draw that will make such a statement. still, though, survivors and family members of victims lost to the bridge are overjoyed by this net, i'm grateful every moment of every day to walk this earth and i think that all the people involved in raising the net are cheering internally right now and very grateful for this accomplishment. 95% of the barrier is up along the 1.7 mile bridge, with just temporary work left in the remaining areas. jr stone, abc seven news if you or someone you know is struggling
