stretches for eight blocks along valencia street. uh- bikes take the middle of the road in between the traffic lanes. >> last spring, the city converted a center turn lane into a bike lane. they added green paint curbs and bollards, but merchants started raising objections, pointing out a lack of parking and a resulting lack of business. >> now the bike lane could change again. instead of a center option, the city could move it to the side of the road. like most bike lanes you see. >> yeah. abc seven news reporter luz pena has been following the story. joins us live with the latest luz. >> that's right, emma and dan, when the bike lanes officially opened, sfmta claimed the center bike lane approach would be safer. but after months of desperate cries and even a hunger strike by one business owner, san francisco's transit leaders are now considering a change along valencia street. that change includes moving the bike lanes back to the side of the road, but some merchants tells us the damage has already been done. it's been ten months since the valencia street center

bike lane was finished, and a year since the construction began, and now sfmta is changing its mind. >> we've heard that it's not working for people, so on tuesday we'll be presenting an alternative side running protected bike lane. >> sfmta is now proposing to remove the center bike lane and relocate bike traffic to the side of the road. it's a long time overdue, but i'm glad to see them doing that. one design would have cyclists going between moving traffic and parked cars and parklets. another would move the parklets and cars into the street, with cyclists going between them and the curb. the latter design already exists on oakland's telegraph avenue, a sustainable transportation advocate, luke bornheimer, views the design as unsafe. >> floating parklets. while in theory seem like a good idea, they actually increase conflicts. so people coming in and out of the parklets are more likely to get hit by someone riding a bike or a scooter, and people who are riding bikes and scooters in the bikeway have to think about if someone's going

to hop in or out of the parklet while they're riding. >> sfmta is planning to hear from business owners before the next pivot. it's going to be a mix, so if you, as a merchant want to choose to keep your parklet at the curb, you can do that, and we will slalom the bike lane around your parklet. >> but if you would like to move your parklet into a floating configuration, and some merchants may choose to do that because it provides more parking in front of their business, then we will work with them. >> nikki is the owner of blondies bar. she blames the center bike lane for killing multiple businesses on her street. she doesn't want the bike lane here at all. instead, she wants the city to create a bike network through neighborhoods and not commercial corridors. >> north beach clement, the marina they're all thriving and none of them have a bike lane. we have a bike lane, and the month that the construction started made valencia street die. >> in february, we interviewed the owner of los amigos restaurant, two businesses down from blondies. he was blaming

the center bike lane for the decline in business and financially. how are you doing >> it's a good question, we are we are so behind right now in everything. >> fast forward four months later. now they're closed. that business did not survive. to see the changes, and the earliest sfmta could potentially start the process to remove the center bike lane will be the beginning of next year. luz pena abc seven news. >> interesting. okay, luz, thank you. >> all right. well, it did get quite hot, especially felt it if you were inland today for sure. >> temperatures will drop tomorrow. however abc seven news meteorologist sandhya patel is here with a look ahead. >> sandhya? yeah, dan and ama. it's a good thing it was only a one day deal. let me show you those high temperatures for today. we got up to 101 in livermore, 100 in concord, 97, santa rosa, 92 in san jose, 83, oakland, 74. in the city. but look at half moon bay, only 59 degrees. the official reporting

medical center. it started in 2021 and is so far helped 70 young people. >> we manage their withdrawal symptoms and safely start them on a medication called suboxone or buprenorphine, and this medication prevents cravings, decreases withdrawal and saves lives. >> the young patients start their recovery in the hospital and then are linked to the next phase, whether it be a rehab or residential program or an outpatient program. by calling the program number someone as young as 16 can admit themselves. >> there's a recent law that just passed in california where if you're 16 and older, you can consent for yourself for a buprenorphine or suboxone for medication, for opioid use disorder without parental consent, even though they encourage getting support from someone 18 years and older. >> the program's administrators acknowledge that it's not always a possibility whether a parent is, you know, has struggling with addiction themselves or a child doesn't want to tell their family member for fear of severe consequences. we can help you, doctor lee said. the risk for

opioid addiction is especially high during the less structured summer vacation months, so she and her team are trying to get the word out that help is available 24 hours a day. >> if you're ready to start your recovery at 2 a.m. on a saturday, we are available for you. >> months after his initial 48 hour stay, myra's family member is thriving in the outpatient program. >> i just want to share with all parents that there's a program here at valley medical that really helps our teens, and that's our future, our teens. >> for more information on the program, call 408 8855255. in santa clara county, zach fuentes , abc seven news. >> all right, here's another look at the phone number for that program at santa clara valley medical center. 4088855255408885525255 is the number to call young people or their loved ones can call at any time of day or night to discuss admission, you need to ask for the pediatric hospitalist on call. we will also post this

number on our website with zach's report. look for it on abc seven news.com. >> governor newsom is touting a major drop in crime in oakland thanks to months of chp assistance, but the city's police union is pushing a strikingly different narrative after a deadly weekend. abc seven news reporter anser hassan dives into the data for a more accurate look at public safety in oakland. >> the data is in and the outlook appears good for oakland . new numbers from the city suggest. since january, there's been a 33% drop in crime. but is that the whole picture? >> we should compare our number to a lengthy amount of time, not just the difference between this year and last year. we have to bring our number down to a level where our community feel that there's a sense of safety. >> sergeant huiwen, president of the oakland police officers association, raises an important point. city and state leaders are recognizing a 33% drop in overall crime while looking at year to date numbers compared to this time last year. but that includes a chp surge that began in february. looking at a larger

set of data and comparing the past 12 months to all of 2023. overall, crime is still down, but now only by 15.8. and looking at the past 12 months versus the annual average for the past three years, overall crime was down. but now just by over 1. >> what we're seeing is that we have the lowest numbers of crime right now for the past, what, three years? >> oakland mayor shengtao may be correct, but perhaps not by as much as the latest numbers show. for example, from january to now, opd says homicides are down 21% compared to this time last year. but when looking at the past 12 months versus all of 2023, it's only down 7.5. similar for robberies, opd estimates robberies are down 5% year to date, but when measured against the past 12 months compared to 2023, it's only down 2. >> every time we roll into the beginning of summer, we will see an increase of violent crimes across the city, an increase of scishow uh- that is just the norm for us, sergeant nguyen says.

>> while the bigger picture shows a small drop in crime, there's still work to be done, and he's concerned by a budget proposal to eliminate upwards of 30 opd positions due to attrition. still, the mayor argues, despite the additional chp officers overall crime is trending downward. >> it's easy to say, look, this window broke, right? we see the glass here. it's easy to say, well, this business is closing for whatever the reason may be. >> the mayor says the chp surge is only one part of a comprehensive strategy. she adds the ceasefire program adding more foot patrols and weekly data analysis are all playing a role in oakland, anser hassan abc seven news. >> when it comes to crime where you live, check out the abc seven neighborhood safety tracker. it gives you the power to use the same tools as our abc seven data team to check public safety statistics in oakland, san francisco and san jose. you'll find it at abc seven news.com. >> people living in a group of rvs parked on one san francisco street could be forced to leave as soon as next month. the city is planning a new four hour

parking limit on winston drive near lake merced, close to stonestown galleria. more than a dozen rvs are parked there. a group of people who live in their vehicles is calling on the city to help them find a new place to park. >> we're here because we don't have anywhere else to go. we don't have a safe parking site. we don't have stability. why do you guys want to kick us out when we're not harming anyone? we are not like criminals or something like that. >> we are humans. we're like all people, but different lives. >> sfmta says they're working to find safe parking resources for those their residents say they haven't been offered any other alternatives, and some say they'll stay when the parking enforcement starts. >> how would you like a seven bedroom house for $700,000? yes, it's in the bay area. and yes, there is a catch plus panda monium gets a boost in san francisco. >> the panda plan passes. we'll have

the board of supervisors approved a plan that would allow a number of city departments to solicit private donations. abc seven news reporter lena howland is in the newsroom to explain why. leaders say, lena, this is so important. >> dan that's right. officials say this was so important because they need $25 million to make it happen. and they're not going to use any taxpayer money. now fundraising can begin, but some people feel like the zoo is just not ready to take care of these animals. another big step forward in mayor london breeds plan to bring pandas to the san

francisco zoo. as early as next year, less than two months after signing an agreement with chinese wildlife officials. the city just cleared the way to allow fundraising to begin. >> we're not using tax dollars this will all be funded privately. >> supervisor joel engardio, co-sponsor the resolution that will allow for city departments to solicit donations from private entities, even if they do business with the city, something that usually raises ethical concerns. but engardio says it's a critical next step in the process. >> what it means is that we can start the process to do the private fundraising necessary to build the enclosure, do the improvements, fix things at the zoo to make it a appropriate place for pandas. >> but not everyone is on board. a spokesperson for in defense of animals, an animal rights group, said the zoo has been mismanaged for years and won't be able to take care of the pandas. >> really, this place is not safe for animals. it's not safe for zookeepers, it's not safe for the public. it's a financial

sinkhole before tuesday's board of supervisors meeting where someone, even dressed up in a panda costume, she spent her morning hand delivering a petition of 7000 signatures signed by people opposing the plan. this panda exhibit, if it will be built, will be built on a base of corruption. >> san francisco mayor london breed, responding to those claims and also we are responsible for completing a behested payment form. >> and before we accept any of those resources, the city attorney's office will, of course, review any of the requests to ensure that we are in compliance. >> she hopes this will help strengthen tourist ties with china without having to use taxpayer dollars. >> people want to come to san francisco, and they want an opportunity to have flights that are also affordable with a limited number of flights that exist, it makes it a bit more challenging. so we definitely know that this plays into that role. >> the city's goal is to raise at least $25 million for a new

enclosure and upgrades at the zoo. the mayor's office says the city and the zoo will now develop and share a fundraising timeline and continue working with chinese partners on their agreement. they will also continue working with the san diego zoo's panda research team, who are also expecting to receive a set of pandas live in san francisco. >> lena howland abc seven news well, they are irresistable. they are. lena, thanks very much. >> all right, ice cream would be irresistible in this weather. or maybe a popsicle. >> boy, just eat it fast because it's going to melt. >> sandy. >> oh, absolutely. especially when your temperatures are still up into the 90s in our inland areas. good night. good evening. for a an iced coffee as well. dan and umma, good evening to you guys. and let's check out those temperatures right now. 20 degrees warmer at this hour in santa rosa compared to 24 hours ago. 17 degrees warmer in oakland, up ten for many from san jose to livermore. a little higher than that in san francisco. all right. those temperatures today were 8 to 16 degrees above average here in

the bay area. blue skies over the golden gate bridge right now . you remember there was some fog earlier today. 90 in santa rosa. it is 84 in petaluma. a nice breeze going through there. upper 90s though. fairfield, concord. right now in livermore it is 94. you don't have much of a breeze. from our east bay hills. camera. we are looking towards mount diablo. there where one of the areas that was baking, san francisco 7180, in oakland it is in the upper 80s in san jose and 92 degrees right now in redwood city. let's check out your evening forecast. if you are stepping out. inland areas still in the 90s p.m, your temperature finally comes down into the 80s, and by 11 p.m. into the 70s. so some relief later on today around the bay looking at the sun. mid 70s, around 7 p.m. nice evening for a walk and then the temperatures come down into the low and mid 60s and near the coast. this is where you're already feeling it 60 degrees coming down into the 50s. high pressure brought the heat today. this ridge of high

pressure is just going to bring us the heat for one day tomorrow. those temperatures really back off. and part of the reason is the sea breeze is going to strengthen. right now it is gusting to 28 at sfo onshore winds. those winds will continue to increase going into tomorrow. and that will drive those temperatures down from our san jose camera. it is a sunny view tomorrow. relief from the heat arrives friday. temperatures rebound slightly and father's day weekend is looking pleasant with sunny and mild to warm weather. so first thing tomorrow morning, temperatures will come down enough to where you get some relief. we're looking at 50s and 60s. there will be some areas of fog near the coast and around parts of the bay shoreline. as we head into the afternoon. it's sunny side up in the south bay 83 in san jose, 65 degrees in santa cruz. so quite the change. 80 in milpitas, on the peninsula, you're looking at 78 in redwood city, 58 in half moon bay. there will be still some fog lingering into the afternoon. daly city, 60 degrees

seems like a steal in san jose, especially since the average single family home sells for over a million. >> i would be surprised if a house like that's available in san jose for a livable home, sure, but this is the house we're referring to. >> and there's one major caveat it's condemned. no one is allowed to live in it. the realtor listing the home says the county found a number of code violations and has since placed this sign on the front door. the property is definitely in need of some tender love and care. just looking around the yard, it looks as though there's still some trash sprinkled all throughout. the dirt is messed up, there's no grass and if you look, the doors in the shed are open and somebody left a few spare tires. >> that makes sense why it's so low for san jose. >> but this property has a pending offer. someone is ready to buy it. the realtor was not available for an interview, but did tell us in a statement due to its prime location in zoning, this property not only attracted attention from diyers, builders, and investors, but also from those seeking mixed use properties, all eager to capitalize on the opportunity.

>> this neighborhood has something for everyone. >> the home is just around the corner from santana row, but whoever buys it has a lengthy repair job ahead of them. kelly o'brien knows how that works. she once bought a condemned home out of state and renovated it, but eventually she had to tear it down and rebuild it. >> basically, she, had people come in and throw everything away, paint everything, and turned it into a canvas. and then i cleaned it up and actually looked kind of cute for two years. but we did eventually knock it down. >> the realtor says whoever buys it has to develop a plan that will get the approval from the county. a lot of work for a house that already costs over a half $1 million. >> yeah, but for $700,000, you've got a lot of cash left over compared to trying to buy something nicer. so, not a shock . >> it might be a good deal for them, but it is kind of crazy to spend that much money for a condemned house. >> but with enough love and a lot of labor, it could turn into someone's dream home in san jose. ryan curry, abc seven news a tiny house in cupertino ended

up selling for over asking. >> it is really tiny. 384ft■!s, the smallest house in cupertino to hit the market in more than ten years. it was listed for sale in april for $1.7 million, sold for about six, about six weeks later for 2 million. it's at the end of carmen road and is sandwiched between homes worth around $5 million, according to zillow. >> all right, coming up next, a chance to save money at starbucks. you could say it's borrowing an idea from mcdonald's. we'll explain for any traveler you want to be. like #1 chef dad, cookin' up a free, hot breakfast for the entire family at a comfort hotel. mom made this. umm... i...added... the garnish. stay twice and get a $50 gift card when you book direct. these feet are hustlin' for customers. sometimes i'm on my feet stafor over 16 hours a day.ft

date will be scheduled in the next 120 days. he could face up to 25 years in prison, but legal experts say time behind bars is unlikely, given he's a first time and nonviolent offender. his father, president biden releasing a statement saying in part, i will accept the outcome of this case and continue to respect the judicial process as hunter considers an appeal, the president also says he will not commute or pardon his son's sentence. he changed his schedule and will be here in wilmington tonight. reena roy, abc news, wilmington, delaware. >> hunter biden has another case coming up. he faces tax related felony charges in los angeles, accused of not paying $1.4 million in taxes over five years. that trial is scheduled to begin september fifth. >> a new report on crime in the united states might come as a bit of a surprise to some people, the fbi says violent crime dropped by 15% from january to march of this year, compared to the same time last year. murders were down by 26, rape fell by 25% and robberies
