roof where it appears there is some fire damage. the fire was first reported an hour ago, 5 p.m, and was putting out quite a bit of smoke that people could see for miles. that smoke quickly dissipated. we're still gathering information on this. no word yet. just how it started or any injuries or what exactly is burning. but we will bring you any updates right here on abc seven news. >> so just think of the opportunity it presents families for jobs for education, for visiting each other. >> so this is a big deal. >> local leaders all smiles thanks to a big check that will provide a big boost for california's embattled high speed rail project. good evening. i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley. >> thanks for joining us. that check will be $3.4 billion in federal funds and will help pay for connecting caltrain and high speed rail to downtown san francisco. >> abc7 news reporter suzanne fawn is here now with more on the portal project that will eventually connect 11 bay area

transit systems. suzanne. well ama 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 yesterday is cause for celebration. the toll bridge 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 trans bay 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 supports remain confident high speed rail, which is part of this, really is starting in california to 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 projection back to you. all right, suzanne. >> thanks, suzanne. phone reporting. california's high speed rail is being built in sections. voters approved the line running from san francisco to los angeles in 2008. new video shows the elevated tracks near fresno. construction started in the central valley in 2015. then in august 2022, california's high-speed rail authority approved design contracts for the rest of the 171 mile line, including from madera to merced and shafter to bakersfield, and that construction could start as soon as next year. the rail link is

estimated to be finished by 2033. >> in an effort to build a better bay area, oakland, san francisco and san jose are rolling out speed cameras to make our roads safer. abc7 news south bay reporter dustin dorsey explains how new money from the federal government will help san jose 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 an active investigation is just getting started following the third police shooting this year in san jose. >> the latest cident happened yesterday afternoon in an east san jose neighborhood on colmar drive. police gave us an update on the suspect's condition. this afternoon. an abc seven news south bay reporter zach fuentes is live in san jose with new information for us on this. zach >> yeah. dan. that suspect is still hospitalized in critical condition and no one else was injured in this shooting that police said today in their update could have been much worse. the potential for a mass tragedy last night was immense. >> this apartment complex was

>> it didn't work for any of us and he was in charge of that, some saying they agree with the petition calling for tomlin's resignation. >> i think he does need to step down his leadership has shown that they don't actually care about san francisco. this isn't the first time that tomlin has been in hot water over his transportation visions. in 2013, tomlin was removed as a transportation consultant for the city of santa monica after city officials said he made comments online that nimbys used traffic fear as their primary tool for stopping development. in 2019, mayor breed appointed tomlin as sfmta's director after asking the former director to resign in san francisco. luz pena, abc seven news. >> home depot will pay $1.3 million for fire code violations as part of an investigation into a massive fire two years ago that destroyed a san jose home depot store, investigators at the santa clara county district attorney's office say home depot

mild inland cool at the coast. right now the coast is clear as you look at live doppler seven tomorrow afternoon, you're

looking at low 60s along the coast, but a warmer one inland almost summer like mid to upper 80s in the warmest spots on wednesday. those temperatures slowly come down. okay, we'll get youhe down to the mid mid 8d by thursday it's the low 80s inland. you see where those temperatures are trending. they're going down on friday 50s to 70s. a look at the accuweather seven day forecast that cooling continues on saturday. and then sunday and monday will bump up the temperatures a few degrees for any outdoor activities that you might have, but we're really not expecting any extreme heat in the forecast, so looking nice overall. dan and ama, it looks great. really >> thanks, andy. >> a group of seniors in the bay area is honoring the traditions of the hawaiian islands. this aapi heritage month through hula dancing. >> and today, we're taking you inside the san ramon acosta senior and community center, where residents are creating friendships and memories as they immerse themselves into pacific island culture

>> hula is the language of the heart and therefore the heartbeat of the hawaiian people . >> the soft, graceful movements are really fun to do, and the beautiful music which evokes everything hawaiian. >> i appreciate it more. and telling the story. me having the movement and what it means. this is like a godsend. >> class >> many people visit hawaii and they think that hula is just wiggling around. but hula is so much more than that desiree elder and i'm an instructor for hula. i teach here at the san ramon acosta senior and community center

of the reasons that i teach seniors is because, number one, i'm getting up there. right? so. but but also because they're they're a very engaging group of people. they want to learn. they're not done with life. they want to learn. they want to exercise. it's overall great for their health and they're really enjoying it. my class here is very social group, and so they're very happy to trade, you know, instances on what they did. and how they figured out how to do this move better and to practice. because one of the things that's most important, especially when you get to this age, is it's easy to forget so many things right? and you add hula in there. and so they really remember things and they help each other to remember when we came to this class, we were we didn't know each other. >> we all just came here as individuals. and then we learned the basics how to kaholo. and so i had to learn all the different movements and what they're called now and stuff. and it's

really nice because you're all learning together. and so it's kind of like you're you're helping one another out >> you have to teach them about culture. when you teach them about hula, you just can't teach them moves and language as it pertains to any of the songs that they're doing. they also learn about basic hula dance traditions, because there are a lot of traditions that go with dancing hula, how to stand, how to, you know, put your costume on, how to take it off. so there are a lot of different aspects of the hawaiian culture that get brought into just classes. basic instructional classes people from all over the world, go to hawaii and you go there for vacation, and then you forget about hawaii and hawaii is its own unique culture, and it's part of the united states. you have a place that actually had a kingdom on on our land, on

opener game one. he didn't play in that game. and he said emphatically, i need to be out there. turns out the rookie was right. and today, pads was named to the nba's all-rookie first team. pisemsky averaged nine points, six rebounds, almost four assists per game, also led the league in charges taken, which is just shocking. but he gives up his body for the cause now. the warriors asked me to help with the award announcement and this is how brandon actually found out today that he earned first team honors, breaking nba news from espn's adrian wojnarowski. woj bomb for the 19th time in franchise history, the golden state warriors have placed a player on the nba's all rookie first team. >> let's go. >> brandon, who ranked among the top ten nba rookies in virtually every statistical category this season, quite an impressive accomplishment for the first year player out of santa clara.

d trace jackson davis got snubbed even still, the warriors have two major building blocks for the future. oh, speaking of building blocks, what a weekend for giants outfielder luis matos just named the national league player of the week. he's the first giant to win that award since brandon belt back in 2018. matos went ten for 26 with two homers, 16 rbis, drove in 11 of those runs during a historic two day run over the weekend, leading the giants to their first sweep of the season. matos was called up from triple-a because of injuries up and down the giants roster. safe to say he is here for good. the minnesota timberwolves, they stunned the defending champion denver nuggets in game seven last night in the playoffs. they're moving on to the western conference finals. anthony edwards helped the wolves overcome a 20 point deficit in the second half to win that all important game. ant-man and karl anthony towns, they do their postgame news conferences together and they are hilarious. >> it's the playoffs we lost last year. we lost t

years. not much more. we gotta lose. how much you want us to lose? lose it for 20 years? i mean, that's just the truth, though. >> karl anthony towns, he's seven feet tall. he's a giant man. but his his voice is so high pitched that you wouldn't expect that sound coming. tyson way. yeah, exactly. except he won't punch you in the face. no, but it's fantastic. anthony. it's the new, new breed of players, the young players coming in. and that's what the warriors have to contend with in the west. because, you know, you've got some very, very talented young players in the western conference and it's not going to be that easy. i mean steph klay andre you know are terrific. but you've got guys who are 22 2324 and hungry. >> it's the next generation. yeah. keep the league exciting. yes thanks. thanks larry. the hand. what are you working on that i'll work on coming up tonight on abc seven. >> watch jeopardy! masters are eight, followed by celebrity wheel of fortune. press your luck is on at ten and stay with us for abc seven news at 11. remember that abc seven news is streaming 24 seven. get the abc
