in one of the lanes. crews have been working all week to make sure the remaining lane is safe to reopen. for one way traffic, 24 hours a day. they don't have a timeline to finish that work. caltrans will resume the convoys during the daylight once the rain passes. the situation along highway one is really hurting businesses that rely on tourists who drive along the iconic stretch. some owners have decided to close their shops until the road is fixed and tourists return. others are staying open for locals. the president of the big sur chamber of commerce, who is the owner of nepenthe restaurant, says this is a statewide issue. >> every day that continues with the road closed, we're probably going to see economic damages for the state as a whole, not just big sur, but the state in excess of $1 million a day, depending which is one of the most popular restaurants in big sur. >> is one of the businesses closed until further notice, visit california estimates a half $1 billion in economic

coliseum after the season is done. the deal included a five year extension with an opt out clause after three years. they also discussed how the team would share the coliseum with the soccer teams, the roots and the soul. the city reportedly asked the a's to pay for the field conversion costs. >> when people say every vote counts, the district 16 congressional race is why former san jose mayor sam liccardo is moving to the november general election. we've known that since election day, but his opponent is still to be determined. more than four weeks after the march primary, a single vote is now separating joe simitian and evan lo. a final vote counts expected this week after a critical deadline for ballots passed yesterday. here's abc7 news reporter zach fuentes, the last day to cure any ballots that were out there that weren't they weren't signed or the signatures didn't match. >> election officials say voters have had weeks to fix or cure their ballots. >> we send them multiple letters, emails, texts. however, we can get a hold of the voters

so we could tell them, like why their ballot isn't counted yet and they can come in and cure it. that's what the ballot process is, where they can come fix it or sign something saying, yes, this is my signature. >> in santa clara county, many people have taken officials up on the offer. in total, they were nearly 1500 challenge ballots that needed to be fixed by deadline. there are around 500. san mateo county reported just over 400 before deadline, each number significant as they could be the final votes that decide the close race for second in the california congressional district, 16 race candidate and former san jose mayor sam liccardo is in first place by a long shot, but who is opponent will be is unclear. santa clara county supervisor joe simitian and state assembly member evan low have been back and forth in the second place spot. simitian sent us a statement tuesday that said, in part, the election offices in both counties have been verifying voter signatures over the past few weeks to make sure that every vote that can be counted will be counted right now, we're waiting to hear from them. lo's team said they will make a statement after the county certify the election. the counties will issue those final

results on april 4th. after that, the secretary of state will then certify the results on april 12th. now, in the final stretch of counting, officials say this race serves as an important reminder. >> we like to say every single vote counts, right? we want to make sure that every voter knows they make a difference in every election. >> zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> thanks, zach. 509. this morning we're taking a look at live doppler seven along satellite because cooler, cloudier changes are on the way. high pressure is now in southern california. this cold front is going to move through later on this afternoon. you're going to notice the cooler air. but also the winds are going to pick up this afternoon. it's a blustery day out there. not the greatest hair day. here's your morning drive. there's a lot of cloud cover out there this morning. it's a mix of sun and clouds all morning long. we're dry today, but showers are back in the forecast here tomorrow. here's a look at those wind speeds. you'll notice those fierce winds out of the northeast, gusting anywhere from about 20 to 35mph. it's just dragging in some much cooler air. so we're saying bye bye to that mild weather we had yesterday and the day before.

enrolling students is one of the first things that many families do when they arrive in san francisco. sfusd does not ask a family's immigration status because san francisco is a sanctuary city we're seeing about. >> i would say, an average of 150 newly enrolled students every single month since about december of 2023, and every month somewhere between one like 5 to 15 of those families report being unhoused and. >> an example of why the data is important. just last month, san francisco reported refugee migration is putting pressure on the city's system of care, especially its family shelter system. so this led to supervisor melgar and ronen proposing for the city to increase capacity in family shelters, the largest muslim civil rights organization in the united states has released a new report, and it shows the largest spike in anti-muslim hate in 30 years. >> care, which is the council on
