6:10 pm
the restaurant to be here. >> i haven't un poquito mas. >> i used to sell more when i was actually on the sidewalk. the city also leased two properties to give permitted vendors a space to sell during the ban. we went to both of them. one of them is closed on mondays. here's the second one. we're back at the tiangge and it's empty. there's only two vendors here, and last time we were here, there were maybe five of the tiangge has space for 40 vendors today. manuel was one of the only ones here. he says he makes around 30 to $40 a day. and is two months behind in rent . >> and they tell me, when do you pay your i don't know, he said, well, next month, you know, pay you going up. i don't know. >> we asked supervisor ronen if the ban will continue past february 27th. that it's likely we're probably going to want to continue in san francisco. luz pena abc seven news coming up

6:15 pm
are bike lanes. this project would change that. and the city thinks it would aid in their efforts to stop crime downtown because of the road diet. >> you know it's going to not allow for cars to just speed down like it's a highway, right? so slowing cars down also means that it's not an actual highway or freeway for the criminals as well. >> more people on bikes, shopping and dining out, more foot traffic, the mayor says, means less crime. >> we have more eyes on the streets that we are safer. >> the city says the project should take two years to complete. construction will happen in sections. >> we're going to be instituting a road died going from four lanes to two lanes. we're going to be putting in protected bike lanes. we're going to be widening the sidewalks in the commercial core corridor. >> they say the only real disruptions people will notice are some lane closures and less parking. but when it's done, the city believes everyone will benefit in oakland. ryan curry, abc seven news. >> police in palo alto are

6:17 pm
temperatures tough luck. yeah >> maybe one more day. sandia or no. >> well i like the way dion put it. tough luck is pretty much the story. unfortunately or fortunately, depending on whether you like wet weather. dion and let's take a look at the high temperatures today. everything shaded in yellow is a record. so it was 73 in san francisco and santa rosa both records 74, san jose 71. in oakland, 72. redwood city uh- sfo. by the way, that was a typo. earlier 66. that was a record tied today, 75 degrees in livermore. 72 in napa, 69.5 moon bay. pretty nice looking day. well above average on live doppler seven. we do have a storm system that is getting ready to move in, but you still have hours to prepare, so this is your time to do it. right now, we got a lot of a lot of cloud cover in the northern part of our viewing area that will spread as the night goes on. golden gate bridge camera visibility is good right now. low 60s from san francisco to
6:18 pm
oakland and san mateo, san. jose, 68 degrees. here's a live view from our emeryville camera as we look back towards san francisco 63, in santa rosa and livermore, it's pretty pleasant. 61 in napa, petaluma, 57, fairfield 56 degrees. as you know, we did have some dense fog this morning out towards the inland east bay. we are expecting some patchy fog tomorrow morning and a live view from our sutro tower camera there. headlines the week ahead. tomorrow mostly cloudy. wednesday into thursday. we're going to see some downpours and gusty winds at times as we head into friday. still unsettled. in case you're getting ready to cover any of your outdoor furniture or bring some stuff inside so morning temperatures, 40s, 50s, a lot of cloud cover tomorrow afternoon you're going to see mostly cloudy skies, temps will come down compared to today. it's still going to be mild, low 60s to the low 70s. then on our storm impact scale, level two storm for your wednesday going into thursday morning. rain will be heavy at times. strong gusty winds expected flooding and wind
6:19 pm
damage are likely. we have a flood watch for the entire bay area 4 a.m. wednesday until 4 a.m. friday, and the concern here is that flooding will be caused by excessive rain on rivers, streams, creeks and roads are the main concerns. it's a possible city, so they've highlighted it since the ground is already saturated as we go hour by hour tomorrow morning. a lot of cloud cover, patchy fog tomorrow night some light showers begin to move in 10:00 in the north bay, and then you have to wait for the rest of the bay area. so 8 a.m. wednesday, you're seeing the heavy rain there at 3 p.m. pretty widespread rain across the area. downpours will continue for the evening rush and pretty much widespread through late night. we'll go over to scattered showers for thursday, but still going to see the problems as it takes a while for the water to run off. so rainfall estimates, projections anywhere from about an inch a little over an inch to almost four four inches of rain. the hills will pick up anywhere from 4 to 6in of rain. wind advisory goes up, gusts to 50 miles an hour. 7 a.m. wednesday
6:20 pm
until 4 a.m. thursday. could see some tree limbs go down and power outages as winds ramp up. uh- 50 miles an hour. 10 a.m. wednesday. you will notice still gusty in the afternoon and into the evening hours. here's a look at the winter storm. watch for the sierra wednesday until friday morning. heavy snow 1 to 2ft higher. peaks up to three feet. accuweather seven day forecast. tomorrow is your day to prepare for level two for wednesday. thursday a thunder chance and then a one on friday and sunday and monday. so really this is going to be a wet pattern for quite a stretch okay. >> all right sandy thank you. >> the 40 niners are going to their eighth super bowl. they will play the kansas city chiefs. the team that beat them four years ago in the same game. the niners needed a historic comeback to seal the deal. yesterday they trailed the lions by 17 at the half before ripping for 27 straight points. it was the largest comeback in nfc championship history. the super bowl is on sunday, february 11th. championship gear went on sale right after the game last
6:21 pm
night. loyal fans, as you see lined up at dick's sporting goods in daly city to get first dibs of the t shirts. the team store at levi's stadium opened up early today at 8 a.m. to put out super bowl bound merchandise. it will open every day from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. until the super bowl. and for fans trying to go to the game, expect some big costs. we had rhiannon o'donohoe from casino.org on our 3 p.m. show getting answers, telling us what to expect. >> so if you're from san francisco, for example, with the average flight cost and hotel and super bowl ticket costs, it would average out to about $12,530, which is about 17.1% of their annual salary, which is insane. but, you know, i think with the super bowl being there, they have every reason to jack up the prices, too, because people are going to pay just to be there for the experience. if people are going to spend that much money to go to vegas, then they should expect how much to budget for it too, because like i said, it's not a cheap city
6:22 pm
anymore. >> not cheap at all. she says. tickets cost more now than the teams are announced, so the best time to buy would have been back when tickets were first released, when you just would have had to hope that your team would make it in. >> oh, what fun is that right? well, tax season is here, so next. why it's not only smart to file early, but also to protect the rule of law, or to build affordable housing, or write california's patients bill of rights. but i know adam through the big brother program. we've been brothers since i was seven. he stood by my side as i graduated from yale, and i stood by his side when he married eve, the love of his life. i'm a little biased, but take it from adam's little brother. he'll make us all proud as california senator.
