it's so important that we expand the number of treatment beds, and that when we do have folks who are committing lower level nonviolent crime that has a mental health nexus, whether it's addiction or some other form of mental illness that we're getting people the help that they need. >> one thing everyone with a stake in downtown san jose agrees on is that they're committed to keeping and adding to its vibrancy in san jose. zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> well, caltrain service will be shut down this weekend all weekend, so the agency can test its new electric trains. there will be some busses running between the san jose diridon palo alto and millbrae stations, where riders can transfer then to bart. the shutdown is a part of caltrans work to electrify the railroad with trains that are supposed to be faster, cleaner, and more efficient. the new trains are set to roll out this september. >> it is the final weekend of horse racing at golden gate fields after all of these years. the mayor of berkeley now says it's time to think big about what comes next for that racetrack and that prized piece

whatever is going to be at golden gate fields. in fact, let's go to the voters in albany to approve whatever plan, even if the area is rezoned. >> there are a number of state and regional stakeholders that will be involved in the approval process. also, the cities don't own the land, although they do have regulatory approval over it. and then big challenges like traffic and in this case, sea level rise. >> all of the area that that is in berkeley and in albany, that's low land was all marsh and it's filled. it will liquefy in any kind of an earthquake. >> robert chast is with the environmental group citizens for east bay parks, and the former mayor of albany. he says it would require enormous amounts of diking to prepare and protect the land for housing. he adds, if it gets that far, it will likely end up in court. >> there would be a fight over this and the environmental community would not be in favor of those kinds of development proposals and would would resist, and there'd be a be a knock down drag out that would it would just never happen.

least don't have to feel bad about giving money to the a's owner for showing up. now, the other interesting aspect of this whole entire day is that a lot of fans are here enjoying this tailgate, but then they're going to go to raymond park to see the oakland ballers play instead of the a's. so you almost have a divided front here. let's hear what some of the a's fans had to say moments ago. >> it's incredibly hard to say goodbye to this team, and the players that i've seen come through the minor league system, so i'm going to keep doing what i'm doing and just go inside. well, i'm out here to show some support to the people, the fans, the city of oakland, this fan base that we all know and love. i'm not going inside tonight. i'm going to the oakland ballers game. but i did want to come out here just to show love to people and show some support. oakland's a great baseball town. i wish uh- john fisher could pull. you know what? they'll figure out that we are a great baseball town. >> so you can hear it's a very emotional day for people. but one thing i really respect about this fan base and this a's fan community, nobody is telling

anybody how to process what could be the loss of their favorite post sports team. they're not saying don't go inside. they're not saying don't go to the ballers game. they're saying do whatever you think is right in this moment and just enjoy it while it is still here. guys let's go open. >> lots of excitement as always casey pratt, we appreciate it. >> all right, well, let's move on to another sport in the north bay. start your engines. nascar weekend has arrived at sonoma raceway, and diehard fans from the bay area and beyond are certainly ready for it. abc seven news reporter cornell bernard was there, and even caught up with a local teenage driver who is hoping one day to turn pro. >> you've got to hear it to believe it. the sound of nascar at sonoma raceway. these supercharged racers hitting speeds of 160mph on a track full of twists and turns. >> we are expecting a full house this weekend. we've got a lot going on. three days of racing,

been something that i always loved my entire life. >> nascar fans know if you're coming out here, there's a couple of must haves sunglasses and ear protection because it is super loud, right? what? >> the engine roar just keeps us awake. >> oroville man from vallejo brought his son oakley to experience the same thrills he had as a kid. >> i want to show him this is what i grew up with from my grandfather to my father, to my generation, and pass it down to him that this this is america right here. this is america. >> freedom nascar weekend culminates with a toyota save mart 350 on sunday at sonoma raceway. cornell bernard abc seven news. >> man, you can almost feel the vibration through the tv. >> no kidding. you definitely can't if you go out there. so the sunglasses, the sunscreen, earplugs, especially the sunscreen. now, with all that sun out there, it looks like a fun way to spend the day. >> frank francis is here with the forecast for the weekend. a lot of fun things going on, francis.

>> lots of fun stuff and temperatures will be more comfortable for some of those inland locations like you are headed to sonoma raceway. it will be about 78 degrees tomorrow. let's take a look outside and show you live doppler seven. we've got clouds along the coast and they're starting to spill in. breezy conditions helped cool things down in san francisco. winds are 26mph, but check out oakland gusting to 30mph. and in napa, 31mph. tomorrow, winds will pick up again. it will be breezy to windy and you can see the winds blowing the palm trees here in san francisco. there as we check out the bay bridge in the background, san francisco has dropped to 58 degrees. oakland 65, hayward 69. san jose 76. redwood city still hanging on to 80 degrees in half moon bay is cooler at 57, and we're seeing some of those low clouds move in here as it will show you a live view from the east bay hills camera, and that has helped cool things down quite a bit. also so for some of the north bay locations like santa rosa, petaluma and napa all at 64 degrees, and we're seeing some low 70s in fairfield, concord,

livermore, at 74. so here's what you can expect with the weather headlines. we're going to see fog and low clouds overnight. and then tomorrow the cooling trend continues not as drastic. we'll come down a few degrees for most locations under hazy skies and also some high clouds. but then we'll see sunshine build and warmth returns to the forecast and warmer days monday and tuesday with 90s for inland areas. so the future cast shows those clouds moving in overnight tomorrow will wake up to those low clouds. this area of green we could even see some possible drizzle along the coastline and some of our beaches. and then you notice the high clouds pass through. we'll see better, clearer conditions on sunday. and so temperatures might come up just a touch for some areas. overnight lows will generally be near the mid 50s for the most part. san francisco 53, san jose 57 degrees and a little bit cooler in the north bay and then temperatures tomorrow are closer to average. san jose hitting a

high of 80 along the lower part of the peninsula. comfortable in redwood city, 74, but still cool at the beaches. you notice near 60 degrees downtown san francisco 64 napa. tomorrow will be 77, santa rosa 86. and in the east bay, numbers will range from upper 60s to mid 70s towards fremont, our warmest locations will be in the low to mid 80s like antioch, brentwood at 84 degrees. so it is going to cool down just a touch more comfortable for many locations, except it is a bit chilly at the beaches when the wind blows. so tomorrow hazy and breezy. temperatures range from 60 to low or near 60 to low 80s. not too much change on sunday, maybe a bump up for some spots and then monday, tuesday, wednesday. that's when high pressure builds. we'll see 90s for the inland areas. lots of sunshine all week long, but the breeze will start to cool things down towards the end of the workweek. >> we can handle the low 90s no

problem. >> variety pack kind of forecast . >> thanks, francis. >> appreciate it. well, toys they are not just for kids, apparently. next up, the new age grou do you question the tradeoffs of treating? ubrelvy is another option. it works fast to eliminate migraine pain. do not take with strong cyp3a4 inhibitors. allergic reactions to ubrelvy can happen. most common side effects were nausea and sleepiness. ask about ubrelvy. my dry eye's made me a burning, stinging, 5-times-a-day,... ...makeup smearing drops user.

is harvey milk plaza, home of the rainbow flag building. >> a better bay area means honoring the people who make the places like that plaza so special. the community has envisioned a more desirable plaza honoring the legacy of the late civil rights leader. >> an abc seven news reporter, lyanne melendez, is here to tell us that, you know, nothing is given. but leanne, there are a lot closer maybe to renovating the plaza. >> yeah, i think if you ask them, they'll say we're this close. we'll see, we'll see. with that said, the renovation of that plaza has been controversial. some are in favor, others not so much. not only will it be costly, but getting to this point has taken years. and so are we. surprised? well, it's the san francisco way, 1961 president john f kennedy made a bold proposition to congress, landing a man on

the moon and returning him safely to the earth. then in 1969, this happened. >> it's one small step for man >> you know the rest. so we have to ask ourselves, how is it that it took only eight years to put a man on the moon, yet it has taken more than 24 years to renovate harvey milk plaza in the castro district. >> you know how it is in this town. you know i mean, everybody has an opinion about everything as activist cleve jones and others reminded us, democracy is what defines us, but it often means delaying projects. >> in 1985, the castro muni station was named harvey milk plaza after the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in california. it wasn't until the year 2000 that there was a call to design a new plaza, but the on again, off again project never materialized. it's taken 24

years. >> 24 years. yeah. not continuous trying, but like it's a series of efforts. but this effort that started in 2016 is certainly moved to the farthest along. >> that's brian springfield of friends of harvey milk plaza, a group behind the most recent attempt to redesign the plaza. when muni announced it had to build a new, state of the art elevator on the plaza that set the wheels in motion for the overall project, jones, who was at milk's side during the many rallies and marches, says the project is worthy of a trailblazer. >> this was harvey milk's neighborhood. harvey milk was part of creating what we know as the castro today, which is known all across the world. and when visitors come here, it's a little bit underwhelming to come to harvey milk plaza and see this. >> the design is intentional. here's what it looks like now as you enter the plaza. the updated version will have a pedestal at the entrance and a meeting place

to encourage activism. which milk himself mastered. >> and at the other end of the site is the medallion that says hope. and that's in this park like setting. >> that area will be surrounded by 11 trees representing the 11 months that milk was in office before he was murdered. there will be a central terrace at the base of the rainbow flag created by the late gilbert baker, kathy amendola, who offers walking tours of the castro, says people from all over the world connect with that flag. >> it's such an iconic symbol globally and we just want to preserve that part of our history. >> the stairs that lead to the muni station will be pushed back, and once you enter the station, there will be an area honoring milk's legacy. this is what they have now, a few photos without any real context. as muni passengers seem not to notice the new design will be somewhat similar to what sfo has at the harvey milk terminal, but not everyone is on board.

there's a small group that wants to make minor changes without demolishing the current plaza. >> our problem here in the city right now is too much money. we've had a doubling of the budget. we need. this money is. it's. yes. don't spend the money on this. it's not community led. what's community led is to preserve this. >> still, the money has been coming in from private donations and state and federal funds, but nothing close to the 35 million needed to complete the work until mayor london breed included the project as part of a much larger infrastructure bond. are you optimistic that it's going to pass in november? >> you never know. i mean, the voters are cranky and they have good reason to be cranky, but i'm certainly hoping they'll vote for this bond because it's really, really important. we i'm hopeful it'll get through the board of supervisors, but we're not there yet, so we can't take anything for granted. >> but the word hope seems to resonate with those behind the project who have already promised a delivery date 2028.

>> i'll see you there in 2028. >> even jones remembers he was once told the project would never happen in his lifetime. >> now, cleve, this will happen eventually, but you probably won't be here to see it. >> ha ha. >> again, everything will depend on voters passing that bond in november, which includes not only that renovation, but other big projects. if it doesn't pass, i think it's back to the drawing board. and the reason for that is that we here in san francisco already have another bond, a school bond, and that's a big one, that one only passes. you only need 55% of the vote for that school bond. this one, which is not a school bond, requires a lot more. 66. two thirds. yeah exactly. so we'll see. thanks, liane. >> appreciate it. >> well, tomorrow the pink triangle installation gets underway at san francisco's twin peaks, all in honor of pride month. the triangle covers nearly an acre, and it takes hundreds of volunteers to get it

in place every year. installation starts at 7 a.m. tomorrow with a commemoration ceremony scheduled at 10:30 a.m. details are at the pink triangle.com. gay rights activists adopted the pink triangle decades ago as a symbol of love and solidarity. our pride coverage continues all month long here at abc seven, all culminating with the 54th annual san francisco pride parade. it's happening sunday, june the 30th. watch it wherever you stream abc seven. >> and coming up next, get a look inside the fbi's file on oj simpson. we're talking evidence collection, fiber testing, even a trip to italy to study shoes. stay with

>> federal prosecutors wrapped up their case against the president's son, hunter biden, today in his criminal trial. they called up two more witnesses to convince the jury that hunter biden lied about his drug use on a gun purchase application. his own daughter took the stand today, giving a tearful testimony when asked about her father's battle with addiction to crack cocaine, president joe biden tells abc news he will accept the verdict regardless of what it is, and has no plans to pardon his son if he is convicted. >> it's been nearly two months since o.j. simpson died, and now, as is standard protocol after a death, the fbi has released its files on him. >> it's 475 pages of documents. and reporter carlos granda from our sister station in los angeles went through them. >> it was the so-called trial of the century. and now we're learning how some of the evidence was gathered. the documents released today mostly focus on the investigation. it shows the fbi was very interested in the rare bruno mali shoes that were worn by the

murderer. detectives actually visited italy to research the manufacturing and distribution of these shoes. >> what? probably the shoes issue is about is that because they were rare shoes and there wasn't any direct evidence of o.j. at the crime scene that they were trying to maybe match up some fibers that may have been left by shoes that he was wearing at the crime scene with these rare shoes that are made out there in italy. so maybe they were trying to make that kind of connection. i don't think they made it, though, in the end, because we never heard about that in the trial. >> hundreds of other pages show details about the collection and testing of forensic evidence from the crime scene. one page shows a number of fibers recovered from the infamous white ford bronco after all of that, o.j. simpson was acquitted of the murders of ron goldman and nicole brown simpson. the documents also include a memo warning at the time that due to the intense media interest in captioned matter and the potential prejudicial impact that public dissemination could have on pending criminal proceedings, the following information should be handled on

a strict need to know basis, and should not be disseminated outside the fbi. now that simpson is dead, it's still a question why was all this released? >> i think what the fbi's message to the public is that even though we are releasing this information, and i'm sure many will find it interesting and read about it, but don't take it, i think, to do too much to heart. don't try to create conspiracy theories about it. please don't question the justice system. i think they're just trying to say, read this in moderation and take a very balanced view. >> on the fbi website, the documents were called part one, but there's no information if there will be a part two or if anything else will be released. i'm carlos granda, abc seven news. >> the heat wave is over and we'll notice some cooler weather this weekend. francis has a look at her seven day forecast. also ahead here are the stars of our show at sajak and vanna white. >> oh, it is the end of an era tonight. pat sajak's final show on wheel of fortune. stay with us

in napa. 77, antioch 83. that's one of the warmer spots, but san francisco only 64. comfortable in san jose at 80 degrees. we will start to warm up on monday, and tuesday will be the warmest day. that's when the mid 90s return to some inland areas. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. so we have hazy and breezy conditions. temperatures actually close to average this weekend. they start to bounce back. more sunshine on monday getting hot tuesday. and then even though we have sunshine all week long, we'll start to see the breeze pick up and a little bit cooler towards the end of the week. so if you don't like it hot, it'll come back again. >> appreciate it. thank you francis. all right. >> sports director larry beil is here. the sell the team brigade is out in full force tonight. >> yes. that brigade is always getting more support. uh- a's fans are going to show up in force tonight. the question is, which park? it's another reverse boycott night. so what is the

shots against the team's proposed move to las vegas. they are at it again tonight. abc seven sports anchor casey pratt was at the oakland coliseum. he's now at raymond park, home of the oakland ballers. so two questions. one, how is the traffic and what are you hearing from fans at both locations as well? >> larry, we had a reverse commute working in our favor. we

made it here in about 14 minutes, just in time for the sports cast. we did our 6 p.m. news hit at the top of the show with all the loud fans screaming behind me. now we're in a more serene environment because the game has begun. at raymond park, the oakland ballers are underway . it's an interesting day, though, because, you know, these fans are trying to show up and do something to prove a point, but they don't want to tell anybody how to enjoy these types of days. these could be their last days of oakland a's baseball. some came here to monte park, some are staying at the coliseum. >> yeah, it's kind of a tricky situation, especially for the people that are going to the a's game because none of them want to put a single dollar in the pocket of team owner john fisher. yet they're not going to have that many more days to enjoy the athletics in oakland. so kind of mixed feelings there. >> yeah. they knew they would never be able to replicate what they did with the historic reverse boycott. but they wanted to give fans an excuse to go out and enjoy one last a's game. if they chose to go to the coliseum or just stay in the parking lot

without the guilt of putting the money in. john fisher's pocket. so while they had an event at a brewery beforehand, some went to the coliseum, some came here and did something where they could just watch a game in a happier place. >> you have any sense of what the attendance will be like in those locations? >> i heard about 15,000 at the coliseum because that's where the reverse, the reverse boycott is probably be about 1500 here, but i do not know the attendance here. i just arrived, larry. i just got here. >> yeah. no it's fine, it's fine. don't speak. >> i haven't counted yet. i can't count them all. >> count. count them. just turn around and count them all. casey, thank you for your quick commute and arrival at raymond park. thanks so much. all right, the stanley cup finals begin tomorrow night here on abc seven. it's the edmonton oilers against the florida panthers. connor mcdavid trying to lead a canadian team to victory to hoist the cup. and that hasn't happened since 1993. for teams north of the border, the panthers lost to vegas in the cup final last year, and forward matthew tkachuk says they cannot

wait to drop the puck in game one. >> it's kind of like a christmas eve feeling right now, so it's been a long week. trying to, you know, keep our mind off it as much as possible and just enjoy it. and i guess the warm weather be outside as much as you can. but it's hard not to think about game one. and now that it's, finally almost here, it's more exciting now than earlier in the week. >> you know, when you're going through that, you find out what your group is made of and, i think we showed that we can go through adversity together and stick together and, and come out the other side. >> the stanley cup final, game one tomorrow night right here on abc seven at 5:00. the panthers and oilers for the right to hoist lord stanley's cup again. live coverage at 5 p.m. sports on abc seven is sponsored by smart and final. so we've got the stanley cup finals here on abc seven. we also have the nba finals here on abc seven. so saturday is the hockey, sunday night is the nba game two of mavericks celtics.

>> and then all next week we got a lot to every day there's a game every day every day. >> thanks larry. pretty much appreciate it. well for the end of the month there's a game every day. >> hey we like it. we like it. well some of us like it right? tonight on abc seven at eight, it's celebrity wheel of fortune, followed by 2020 at nine. then you'll want to stick for us with abc seven news at 11. and remember abc seven news is streaming 24 seven. get the abc seven bay area app. join us whenever you want, wherever you are. >> all right, finally, this friday, a few thoughts about what really matters. donald trump breezed through san francisco yesterday. a whirlwind fundraising stop that lasted maybe three hours or thereabouts . as he does wherever he goes. he picked up a lot of campaign cash and plenty of publicity. i near the pac heights home where the fundraiser was being held, people on the opposite sides of the figurative political fence gathered literally on opposite sides of the street to voice their support for or their opposition to the once and possibly future president. for the most part, it was agreeable

disagreement. no pushing or shoving, not too much name calling, each engaged in that treasured american tradition of free speech, letting their voices be heard. these days we are far too quick to demonize someone with a different view. someone may be misguided in our view, but that doesn't make them an inherently bad person. what really matters is to see more of what we saw yesterday in san francisco, as we enter the final phase of a divisive election season. good people who disagree, treating each other with respect and civility. i always love to hear from you. let me know what you think. follow me on social media at dan ashley abc seven. >> and that'll do it for this edition of abc seven news at six. thanks so much for joining us here on this friday. >> i'm julian glover and i'm dan ashley for francis dan glass and larry biel. all of us here. we appreciate your time. hope you have a great evening and that we see you again at 11.
