just a few minutes. but first, in order to build a better bay area, three of the bay area's biggest cities are rolling out speed cameras to try to make our roads safer. san francisco, oakland and san jose are all getting these cameras thanks to a new bill signed into law by governor newsom last october. >> this includes san jose, where city leaders believe these cameras can continue the downward trend in traffic deaths after a record setting year in 2022. abc7 news south bay reporter dustin dorsey explains how new money from the federal government will help the city install these cameras. >> stepping on the gas has more of an impact than one might think. speeding up can save a minute. >> slowing down can literally save a life. >> speeding was a contributing factor in 33% of traffic deaths in san jose from 2018 to 2022, and mayor matt mahan and the city hope a new tool paid for by federal funding can get people to slow down. >> the goal of these cameras is really to change behavior. for the first six months that they're up, they will simply automatically issue a warning via the mail. after that six

month period, people who were speeding in areas where these cameras are deployed will get a ticket in the mail. >> fines start at $50 for driving speeding at least 11mph over the limit, then increased to $100 for 16 miles an hour over and $200 for 26mph over. as the cars speed goes up, the likelihood of someone surviving being hit goes down. triple a found the average risk of death is 10% at 23mph, but it's only 5050 at 42mph, and almost always fatal at just 58mph and above. >> no one should die on our roadways. it is preventable, but we have to invest in enforcement, infrastructure, education, technology, all the pieces coming together to just remind people to be safe on our streets and to make sure that everyone can be safe when they're out on our streets. >> the city will use $8.5 million in federal grant money to install 33 cameras as part of assembly bill 645 pilot program, which includes san francisco and oakland. privacy expert mike castle says bay area leaders

should be focused on tangible solutions when it comes to solving the problem on the streets, fixes that also don't raise accuracy and privacy concerns as well. >> overall, speed cameras seem like more of a of a quick solution to address the problem of speeding, rather than the more expensive and time consuming solution, which would be a re-engined air and a redesign of the roads of concern . >> the reality is to get to zero traffic deaths. city leaders know it will be engineering, education and enforcement to get the job done in san jose. dustin dawsey, abc seven news more and more money going to high speed rail. >> this time it's a $3.4 billion federal commitment to connect caltrain and high speed rail to downtown san francisco, the so-called portal project will eventually integrate 11 transit systems and abc seven news reporter suzanne phan is here in studio with us with a new development. >> suzanne. so, larry, kristin, it may seem like a long way off, but leaders are celebrating this

big boost in funding that will eventually connect caltrain 77 mile system and the planned high speed rail system to the salesforce transit center in the heart of downtown san francisco. >> right below the grand hall of the salesforce transit center, stretching for several blocks, speaker emerita nancy pelosi and other leaders get a glimpse of the future. it's about the future. >> as you see, it will take some time in the future. >> this 80,000 square foot area will be the concourse level with shops further below. this is where fourth street caltrain station will connect with the transit center, and it will eventually be where you can also catch high speed rail. it's a big deal. the portal transit plan will move forward thanks to one huge gift from the federal government. >> $3.4 billion. yes, today is cause for celebration. the total budget is about $8.4 billion, which includes the train box that was built several years ago. >> and, you know, the $3.4 billion that the federal

government just committed is huge. it brings us to two thirds funded for this project. >> the transbay joint power authority says the portal project will bring together key modes of transportation in the future. >> this project brings caltrain all the way from fourth and king all the way into downtown san francisco, and right behind it will be california high speed rail. >> the high speed rail project is projected to cost $106 billion, according to california high-speed rail authority's critics say the project faces a nearly $7 billion shortfall to finish the central valley segment, and the project also needs about $100 billion to connect san francisco and los angeles by high speed rail supporters remain confident the high speed rail, which is part of this really is starting in california. >> so take pride in that. when we show and demonstrate this giant steps that are going forward, then it's easier to attract more resources to get the job done. >> the key is to get it done

sooner, because time is not free. and every time a year passes, the costs keep going up. we just need to break ground and the california high speed rail project has been hit by rising costs. >> estimates, delays and litigation. critics say the cost of phase one between san francisco and los angeles is now three times the initial cost. back to you. >> all right, suzanne, thank you. california's high speed rail is being built in sections. voters approved the line running from san francisco to los angeles back in 2008. new video shows the elevated tracks near fresno. construction started in the central valley in 2015, and then in august of 2022, california's high speed rail authority approved design contracts for the rest of the 171 mile line, including madera to merced and shafter to bakersfield. now that construction could start as soon as next year, the rail line is estimated to be finished by the year 2033. >> new details just in from investigators in san jose after

an officer shot a man. police say got into a gun battle at an apartment complex, officers say the shooting on colmar drive yesterday could have been so much worse. >> the potential for a mass tragedy last night was immense. this apartment complex was filled with people enjoying a warm sunday evening. families, friends and children were safe one minute and the next in grave danger. >> a call yesterday afternoon about a man firing a gun into the parking lot of an apartment complex. when officers got there, they say he started firing at them, officers exchanging gunfire. the suspect ultimately shot by an officer. the suspect is still in the hospital in critical condition. investigators say he's been convicted of assaulting an officer before and wasn't allowed to have guns. this comes just weeks after two other san jose police officers were hurt in a shooting. >> the frequency of san jose police officers being shot at or hit by gunfire has gone from a rare anomaly to a regular occurrence. we cannot allow attempts of killing of our

officers to become normalized, expected or tolerated, san jose police department acting chief paul joseph says he's creating a team to investigate why so many people are shooting at officers right now, 15 officers shot in as many months. >> the man convicted of attacking congresswoman nancy pelosi's husband with a hammer is set to get a new sentencing hearing. a federal judge granted a motion over the weekend to reopen the sentencing in the case of david de pap, because he did not get a chance to speak. during friday's hearing. de pap was sentenced to 30 years for breaking into the pelosi home and attacking paul pelosi back in 2022. de pap's ex-wife criticized the attorneys in the case, saying she was silenced and we really wanted to read our testimonies, but we were excluded. >> the lawyers kind of played a number on us and made sure that we were not able to testify in on his in his support at the

sentencing hearing. >> a new sentencing hearing is scheduled for may 28th. >> an oakland man missing in the wilderness between sunol and livermore was finally found today. >> solo hiker got lost on the trail with his dog. they were missing for nearly 48 hours. >> abc seven news reporter leslie brinkley is live in pleasanton, outside the hospital where this hiker was taken. leslie >> uh. yeah, we understand the hiker was checked out here. it's a 54 year old from oakland. the dog was also okay, from what we're told now. they had, along with them, overnight gear and a fair amount of food and water for an overnight hike. but it was ambitious and it quickly turned into an emergency. this is 54 year old alex stecker and his trail companion apollo, a bull terrier cattle dog mix. it's the same outfit stecker was wearing when he was dropped off at sunol regional wilderness on friday morning for an overnight

20 mile hike on the ohlone trail to del valle in livermore. he didn't show up for his ride at 5 p.m. saturday, and was reported missing by 830 that same night. >> it's a large wilderness ohlone wilderness area, so we utilize everything we could we drones, helicopters. we brought in the east bay regional park, police helicopter, the california highway patrol helicopter, and the national air national guard helicopter, we requested assistance from the alameda county fire department, east bay regional park fire department, alameda county search and rescue, 100 people searched on foot, and with eight all terrain vehicles. >> yet all day sunday, they couldn't locate stecker or his dog. the search resumed again this morning, when a san francisco water district employee came across stecker way off the trail in the remote, rugged wilderness. >> all things considered, he seems to be doing pretty good. the dog's doing pretty good as

well. it is. >> you're assuming he got off the trail and got lost? >> yes. it looks like, he probably went the wrong direction instead of going to del valle and wound up at the san antonio reservoir, medics were flown in and stecker was taken as a precaution to a nearby hospital. >> as the search was called off, helicopters were used to ferry search and rescue personnel in from other areas of the vast wilderness. east bay regional parks said there's a lesson to take away from this. even though this hiker and this dog turned out to be okay. hikers going out on to remote trails like this one, especially if they're trekking alone, should really have a gps locator or device along with them. reporting live in pleasanton. i'm leslie brinkly. abc seven news. >> leslie. thank you. we have some wild video to share from a san jose family's security camera going to see the cat while it was cooper. he's he's really fast, but you'll see what's following cooper. okay,

locate the vehicle about 200ft down the cliff, and a tree is what stopped the car from tumbling further down. you can see the windshield there is smashed. there is no driver in sight and due to the thick brush and terrain, cooper and martelli grew concerned when they couldn't locate the male driver. but nearly an hour later they spotted a deer trail and something promising. >> all i could see was a guy's hand. he was wearing green clothing, so he blended right in with all the all the brush. >> larry is saying a phantom, a phantom like point, and he's pointing. and i put larry right over, over the top of him. and from 100ft above, i still cannot see the person. that's how buried he was in there. and camouflaged. >> he was. he was about 350ft down from the car. >> yeah. it really takes your breath away just looking at this video. the driver didn't know his name or where he was, but was transported in serious condition. both cooper and martelli say this was one of the

most challenging searches they've worked on together, and credit multiple agencies for making it happen. i also spoke with michelle friess, the emergency dispatcher, who told me she could hear the driver breathing over the open phone line and then not hearing him anymore was extremely emotional, she says. knowing each team worked together to rescue this man made the stress of her job so worth it. larry and christine, incredible. >> thank you dion. uh- new mural captures the rich history and legacy of the san francisco fire department. that artwork was unveiled today at the department's headquarters on second street. carmen zhang, a student at the academy of art university, created the mural. >> it was a great experience. i am honored to be able to design a huge mural like this is one of my first murals that is this big, and leading a team of artists is really great. >> to have a piece of history like this on the wall is incredible, and i think it's just amazing that carmen, who's 22 years old, did this like, wow
