would fund about 65% of this project. the rest would come from state or city funding. if all goes to plan, it would be the most expensive infrastructure project in city history. in the newsroom, ryan curry, abc seven news. the north bay felt a small earthquake today. >> it hit at about 1:30 p.m. the magnitude was a 4.2 and the epicenter was close to the geysers. most describe the shaking as weak or light. some people as far away as san francisco, though, reported it to the usgs that they felt the earthquake. the future of a beloved child care center is in jeopardy. the fairfax san anselmo children's center was sent an email eviction notice this week for decades, the center has been a lifeline for hundreds of low income families across marin county. abc seven news reporter cornell bernard explains what's behind the eviction attempt at the bubble. >> may soon be bursting for families whose kids attend the fairfax san anselmo children's center most every day. basically

happened without this child care center, as a safety net for her daughter. >> we only want to be here and want to give our kids and a safe place and go to work knowing that they're safe. >> the children's center says they made a formal offer to the school district to buy the property last november, but that offer, rejected by the school board, citing lack of documents and conditions. >> if they evict us, the center will close after 50 years and these families will no longer be able to send their kids here, and many of these families will not be able to afford to stay in the ross valley. >> in a statement to the community, the ross valley school superintendent said in part, this was not the outcome we hoped for or work for over the past 21 months, both our vsd trustees and staff were dedicated to doing everything we could within our purview to preserve the valuable, affordable child care services provided by fsoc's. see, many here are hoping the school board will reconsider the eviction, so we'll ask them to just please reconsider the decision and, you

everyone in the city of oakland that during these hard times that we have to come together. it takes all of us. it takes a whole village in order for us to move forward. >> recall organizers plan to begin gathering signatures next month. they have to submit signatures from about 25,000 registered voters to get the recall on a ballot. there's a new effort to revive an old partnership to help crack down on crime in the east bay. abc seven news reporter anser hassan spoke to the mayor of berkeley, who initiated a meeting today. reporter crime is an issue that doesn't stop at one city's borders or one county's borders. >> this is a regional challenge. >> that challenge runs along the i-80 corridor from richmond to berkeley, down through the rest of alameda county, says berkeley mayor jesse arreguin. >> organized retail theft, for example. what happens in emeryville or oakland impacts berkeley. it impacts richmond, uh, and while our law enforcement agencies work together, there's definitely an opportunity for more collaboration. mayor arreguin led a meeting on friday to resurrect the east bay public

safety corridor, an initiative from the 1990s formed to combat crime. >> it roughly encompasses richmond down to fremont along the i-80 and 8-80 corridors. mayors supervisors and law enforcement agencies from both alameda and contra costa counties, along with the fbi and bart, were on hand for this opening round of discussions. originally this collaboration will lead to more data sharing and more uniform policies. >> different cities have no chase policies, and so say, you know, one one law enforcement agency is chasing somebody who's engaged in serial retail theft through one city. and then when they go to another city, it doesn't have a no chase policy. it makes it hard to coordinate and to and to hold people accountable. >> crime doesn't see boundaries. >> alameda police chief san jose took part in the meeting. he says local law enforcement already works collaboratively. but, he adds, uniting with city and county government can improve those efforts. >> while law enforcement is one resource, we want to force multiply with all the resources that can have an impact on

public safety, mayor aragon says. >> public safety isn't just about more policing, but also strengthening violence prevention and tackling mental health issues, he adds working as a region may prove more powerful in sacrament, so i think rather than us all launching our own things, working together, we we're going to be more effective and probably more competitive at being able to draw down state and federal resources a more formal partnership will be announced in the coming weeks in the east bay anser hassan abc7 news. >> an iconic san francisco store is shutting its doors after 86 years in business. jeffries toys, which opened its first store in 1938, says it will close permanently next month. the store owners say it has been a struggle to keep the doors open, blaming the decline of the downtown area. consumer spending and shifting retail trends. jeffries toys is located on kearny street in union square. meantime, downtown san jose is thriving. what's being done there that other cities could use to build a better bay area?

pedro square's pedestrian mall model to bring in more foot traffic, they say the work can't stop there right now. >> the downtown boost is mostly because of nightlife. the goal is to grow traffic during the daytime, too. >> it's still slower and more quiet in downtown during the week, but that is changing as well. so more and more companies are asking their workers to at least come back three times a week or so. >> in the meantime, a new pilot project is in the very early stages of development. one that aims to add more vibrancy to the stretch of downtown between fourth and market streets. >> we're trying to make troc property owners beautify their buildings with paint. paint them , add some lighting to it. the downtown association says it will be a challenge to get all the property owners on board, but they're optimistic. >> they say it's at collaborative spirit that has led to the recent success and can be a model for downtown's and other bay area cities. >> we have various agencies we have the city that is very interested in revitalizing downtown. we have property owners that are super passionate and involved, and all of this is what it takes to move the needle . and i think this is a recipe

residents and business community members with the help of the city, transformed the haight into one of the most vibrant and safe communities. could it be a model to build a better bay area in other places? >> abc seven news reporter liam melendez is here to tell us how they did it. leanne >> well, this is a great example of, you know, the community coming together and say we are going to get things done because you have to understand the haight street corridor is also known for having business owners who voiced their concerns. you know, some of you may remember the sit lie law where people were not allowed to sit or lie on the sidewalk or they would get fined. now, many merchants there pushed for it, but itrillioneally didn't work. and now, years later, merchants and residents have taken a different approach to revitalizing the area. >> tourists have never stopped coming to the haight ashbury. this famous corner represents the center of the hippie movement of the late 60s, and the summer of love changed the narrative of american culture

for thousands of young people from around the country were descending on the city's haight ashbury district. >> we do not have an obligation to feed these people to house them or to care for them. the neighborhood saw a decline shortly after. >> since then, the haight has struggled. >> experience, seeing years of ups and downs but between 2010 and 2015, the obvious street problems hampered any efforts to revitalize the area. in 2016, mistakes made by the city's street construction project hurt businesses. >> construction crews have hit underground gas lines, resulting in five gas leaks since april on a single block of haight street. >> kristin evans is with the haight ashbury merchants association. >> by the time that construction project was over, it was well over 20 vacant storefronts. so a lot of businesses gave up during that four year construction period, and at the peak of the pandemic, the haight had 32 empty storefronts, nearly a quarter of all businesses in the

neighborhood closed. >> and that's when merchants and residents of this neighborhood came together to ask for help. first came the retail vacancy tax to encourage property owners to lease empty spaces or face a $250 per linear foot tax that doubles every year. >> we've seen the rents come down and landlords be more motivated to fill the spaces, and so more than half of those vacancies are now filled. street cleaning and power washing by public works followed the streets here are practically gleaming. >> the haight is also one of six san francisco neighborhoods with community ambassadors providing an extra layer of security. i haven't seen a single tent here. uhhuh where are they? so there are still tents in the neighborhood, and they tend to not be on haight street itself. proposition c, a business tax to fund services and housing for homeless people, has also benefited this neighborhood.

most businesses here are pleased with the results. >> it brings the tourists in for sure. it gives a good word that they can come back to the city and to the haight ashbury district. um, they're more able to enjoy the city and all all neighbors goods. so it's a lot cleaner, a lot safer. >> i think it also is, as fewer people are spending time downtown, they're spending more time in the neighborhoods. but this neighborhood, which has been a safe haven for the youth who never stopped coming here since the late 60s, now finds itself losing them. >> the young people who put the haight on the map and kept the counterculture movement going aren't coming here anymore. >> we, um, focus on working with youth and young adults 29 and under, one reason those people are missing the haight is now what some call a service desert for young people. >> nonprofits like homeless youth alliance, larkin street youth services, which once provided direct services to

youth in this neighborhood, have scaled back dramatically, a casualty of the high cost of office space. even the haight ashbury free clinic closed in 2019. >> many of the resources that our young people are asking for from us, we have to refer them to other parts of the city, and particularly in parts of the city that they have identified. >> they don't feel safe in, and that can include downtown. >> and so while the haight may be cleaner and thriving, the neighborhood now struggles to find ways to support and keep the young dreamers that have long found solace in this neighborhood and that commercial vacancy tax was introduced by the board president, aaron peskin. and what has also helped to bring back businesses. there is, number one, the process to open a business was streamlined. and number two, new small businesses got their fees waived during their first year. all of that was introduced by the mayor. now again, this is an example of a community coming together. but you know, i have

to say, the supervisor who represents s, the haight ashbury also represents the tenderloin. >> oh yeah, i know that. >> so you can see here that it's really you know, an effort by the community, the supervisor listening and people really taking action. >> well, let's see if it can be replicated. yeah all right leanne, thank you. >> a couple seated with their dog, just two rows behind the blown door plug on alaska airlines flight 1282 spoke out today for the first time about their traumatic experience. it's the same day that type of airplane, the boeing 737 max nine, is allowed back in the air, reporter leticia juarez, from our sister station in los angeles, has the story. >> it was so loud and the noise continued and the plane was shaking like crazy. joni and gilbert marin recalling the terrifying moments a door plug on their alaska flight flew off at 16,000ft in the air. >> they were seated just two rows behind the gaping hole, fearing passengers had been

>> if they don't, then we'll be in a courtroom in front of a jury and they'll regret it. >> just 21 days after the near mid-air disaster, the 737 max, nine planes are back in service. the faa says each one has undergone rigorous inspection for airworthiness. >> would i get on one? no no. >> while the marin's say they will not be getting on a max nine, they are prepared to travel at least in the coming months with alaska airlines, with planned trips as for alaska airlines, they say on their website they have returned to full service, but are giving travelers the options of switching planes if they want to. reporting from riverside, leticia juarez, abc seven news. coming up next, a cup of kindness messages made by elementary school students designed to make a stranger's

(other money manager) different how? you sell high commission investment products, right? (fisher investments) nope. fisher avoids them. (other money manager) well, you must earn commissions on trades. (fisher investments) never at fisher investments. (other money manager) ok, then you probably sneak in some hidden and layered fees. (fisher investments) no. we structure our fees so we do better when clients do better. that might be why most of our clients come from other money managers. at fisher investments, we're clearly different.

materials. >> it's like our clothing. we don't even know it's there. it's so ubiquitous that it's just hiding in plain sight wherever we look. this ancient material, they keep finding new uses for it, new ways to push its limits. and it's also so infinitely recyclable. it's this organic material that can be used over and over again. >> nat geo's full february issue is out now on nat geo comm, disney parent company of both national geographic and abc seven. >> all right, will we need sun glasses this weekend? >> i'm hoping so. sandy. yes, he will on sunday. >> but tomorrow not so much. diana, let's take a look at your evening out hourly forecast. temperatures in the 50s really dropping slowly as we have a lot of cloud cover keeping us insulated right now. here is the cloud cover on live doppler seven. a couple of sprinkles showing up. none of this is a game changer for tonight's plans. just carry an umbrella if you don't want to get wet, and it is not going to be widespread rain tomorrow afternoon. you're looking at high temperatures in the low to upper 60s. mostly

cloudy skies. as we look ahead to sunday, it is going to warm up, especially in the south bay where that big nfc championship game is happening. it's going to be in the low 70s at kickoff, dropping to the mid 60, low to mid 60s. now temperature will get into record territory on sunday. monday is still mild and then tuesday is much cooler. so you will notice those changes ahead as our chances of rain go up tuesday night, wednesday into thursday day. and if you're keeping tabs on how much rain we're expecting, this is just early estimates 1 to 2in for many areas over the course of wednesday through saturday, and higher totals expected in the hills. accuweather seven day forecast mostly cloudy, a few showers tomorrow, but sunshine and warmth sunday with records and then that two on wednesday. one level one thursday, friday ama and dan. >> all right. nice that there won't be rain for the big game larry. >> oh my goodness that's yes relief. thank you sandhya. you're welcome. >> cherish that. yes yeah. >> debo oh this is the news the

look at the 40 niners before they take the field on sunday at

levi's against the lions with a trip to the super bowl on the line. and if you believe that the 40 niners hopes hinge on a healthy deebo samuel, you are going to really like what you're about to see for the second straight day. deebo was back on the field this time, practicing in full. he enters the nfc championship game with no injury designation. his shoulders fine. he's good to go. abc seven sports reporter casey pratt in santa clara with an eye on debo's progress. >> yeah, larry. everyone can collectively take a big sigh of relief. this is not a prediction, larry. it is a spoiler. deebo samuel will be on the field when the 40 niners play on sunday in the nfc championship game, and the way the 40 niners offense looks without him, everybody is very relieved to have debo back. >> it's huge for us. you know debo is a game changer. you know he's the one of the best in the nfl at what he does. so obviously for him to be able to play all of us are like all right you know debo brings some juice and energy and we got his back and so uh, obviously seeing him run around at practice and

look good for us, it's like, all right, you know, it's on. so we're excited for him. >> uh, it's huge. i mean, um, a little scary at the beginning of the week, but the fact is we're able to go full go today and no restrictions on him is definitely a good thing for us. >> just to know, i have an extra week just to figure out what was going on. and we went and got an mri and everything showed up negative and it was just a deep bruise and it was kind of painful at the time. but as the week goes on, you know, like i just said, i'm doing a good job getting all the pain away, getting all my motion and strength back. and i feel like they did an outstanding job. >> when asked how he plans to protect his shoulder, debo said i ain't protecting nothing and i believe him because i saw him on the field the last two days smiling, laughing, running, lifting his arms over his head, full range of motion. debo is ready to go and there is nothing that's going to stop him from being on the field when the team has a chance to get back to the super bowl, larry. >> thank you casey. yet another agonizing last second loss for the warriors last night came down to the final possession

again. warriors had a timeout. chose not to use it. steph curry as soon as he was double teamed. they should have called a timeout. lost the handle 134 133 kings. obviously a hindsight's 2020, but clearly they needed a call timeout. >> i really prefer the scramble situation at the end of games where a defense can't, you know, get set up and make subs, and right when i got the ball and turned and saw that the court wasn't balanced right, and we still had plenty of time. >> but you know, the chaos of the moment, you're trying to make a play and sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. >> i've seen those guys convert in that situation a million times. and like i said, we got to the picture we wanted eventually. um, it just didn't pan out. >> we got warriors and lakers tomorrow night at 530 here on abc seven aussie open semis, yonex center hadn't lost a set in this tournament. facing the defending champ novak djokovic, who hadn't lost a match down under since 2018. center cruise, six one in the first set and tied in the second set. he takes that also six two. joe jovic won the third, but in the fourth match point for center, there is the fourth seed. center wins in four sets. he will play daniil

medvedev in the final and the san jose sharks unveiling a new uniform look, they call it cali fin in team teal, adding a lot more black and a new fin to their look. the sharks will wear these for home games the next couple of months. abc seven sports sponsored by your northern california honda dealers luka doncic tonight for the dallas mavericks scored 73 points by himself and. beat atlanta. we will show you that tonight at 11, you look stunned. >> i mean, you know what? >> that's the same look that the atlanta hawks had on their faces tonight. >> i mean, i was just thinking does he get a raise? but then i was also thinking in my head, well he probably gets paid enough. yeah. yeah. you know he's he's like well-compensated. yeah. delivering 50 million a year is okay. >> not bad. it's. yeah. it's reasonable. okay. >> larry. thank you. >> coming up tonight on abc seven at eight. it is shark tank followed by 2020 at nine. then
