effort to stop the sideshows that keep happening across the city. residents near california and divisadero streets are hoping speed bumps will deter those sideshows. abc seven news reporter luz pena spoke with people who have been waiting for a solution for years now. reporter >> stunt driving or sideshows is happening across the bay area. just three weeks ago, traffic on the bay bridge came to a stop because of a sideshow overnight. a scene residents on california and divisadero streets are familiar with. this is not a bridge, but the tire marks tell a story of a neighborhood that has been crying out for help. >> all the cars and bikes running around at like 1 a.m. 2 a.m. wake everyone up after multiple years waiting for a solution. >> this week the city installed speed bumps, hoping this will stop the sideshows that torment this neighborhood. this worker,
5:13 am
who did not want to be identified, said they constantly come back to work the morning after a sideshow to graffiti on their walls. >> the first thing you can see, because you have to cross the streets. the walls where i work vandalized. >> they're hoping the speed bumps will make a difference. >> i'm a fan. if it's going to stop these sideshows in 2020, supervisor ahsha safai introduced legislation to combat sideshows in san francisco. >> it allowed sfpd to impound vehicles for 14 days after the first offense. after the second offense and even stronger penalty. >> you're involved in stunt driving in san francisco. we're taking your car for 30 days. >> our abc7 news data team looked into the latest incident reports and found that since january, there have been 24 stunt driving incidents reported in the city and 11 just last month, according to supervisor safai, not many cars have been impounded. multiple sideshows in san francisco this year and only
5:14 am
five cars have been impounded. >> only five to date. and last year in 2023, only six. >> if this legislation is not stopping them, then what can? we spoke to oakland council member noel gallo. oakland has been fighting sideshows for years, so what is working for them in the neighborhoods, >> the planter boxes, cement boxes, the trees that neighbors have planning does deter the sideshows from coming into our neighborhood streets. >> his message to san francisco. >> you know, it's worth the try. >> luz pena, abc seven news. >> supervisor safai says he's concerned speed bumps will move. sideshows to another san francisco neighborhood and not actually fix the problem. he is urging san francisco police to enforce that legislation in the east bay. now, the point molate property will be sold to the east bay regional park district. the 80 acre former navy site is located on the western shore of richmond. this $40 million deal
5:15 am
puts the site on track to becoming a parkland. most of the money will come from a state grant. half of those proceeds will go to a tribe that had an agreement to develop a casino there. the decision comes from new city council members. they decided to cut losses on several plans and not spend millions of dollars on new development. cupertino is working with vallco developers to waive $77 million in fees. it will help propel the city's largest ever housing development forward. our media partners, the mercury news reports the developers will pay more than $10 million to fund infrastructure projects, as well as $32 million in other fees. the rise development will be at the former site of the shopping mall. it includes nearly 2700 housing units. nearly 900 of those would be affordable to lower income families. the deal is expected to be finalized at next tuesday's. city council

meeting. for the first time ever, cannabis is on sale legally at a state fair in the u.s. the historic moment was caught on video at the california state fair in sacramento. you can eat it, drink it or smoke it, and organizers have been working for years to make that happen. a cannabis exhibit is recognized in the fair's golden bear agriculture awards. they say california has been a pioneer in cannabis cultivation, and it's time to recognize one of our premier crops. now to a big unveiling in san francisco. we got a sneak peek at the zero emissions passenger ferry that will cruise through the bay. you're looking at sea change. it's the world's first commercial passenger ferry, powered 100% by zero emission hydrogen fuel cells. the 70 foot catamaran fits up to 75 people. the state is requiring all short distance ferries to be emissions free by the end of 2025. >> it's just appropriate that
5:17 am
san francisco, which is a leader in so many things and especially when it comes to the environment, is a leader in making sure that ferries become clean, because i think that was the one criticism of water transit. it was that it was polluting. >> starting july 19th, sea change will run for free for six months, so you can check it out. that's not the only change coming. the angel island tiburon ferry company has also signed an agreement with a company from new zealand. it will design and build a new vessel as the company prepares to convert its boat fleet to fully electric. happening today, the stadium style catamaran race called sailgp, is set to carve the choppy bay waters of san francisco. it's the series 14th and final event with $2 million in prize money at stake. the f50 foiling catamaran is the first boat to hit 50 knots, or
5:18 am
57.5mph, during a race. tickets are available, including waterfront seats at sailgp.com and hopefully the breeze works in their favor today. speaking of, let's check in with lisa on what to expect today. it's always so pretty, lisa to see the boats out on the water, but when you're on them during a race, a whole different story. oh yes, for sure. >> and today's going to be one of those very typical san francisco days, very breezy. and we'll have the cloud cover. they did have some sunshine for us part of the week when they were out there, and we are looking at a big change as our cooldown certainly underway as we look at live doppler seven right now, you'll notice the lightning strikes to the south and east of us, and there is a weak system that is bringing up the cloud cover. not any rain, but a little bit of instability instability there. and so that always is something we don't like to see, because that could certainly initiate a fire. but we also are looking at the cooling, cooling trend. but you know, we are looking at the
5:19 am
warmer numbers inland in the upper elevation. so you'll see that right here where we have 70 degrees in livermore, 71 in danville and brentwood, temperatures elsewhere where you've had the onshore flow. and that marine layer back into the 50s. so it's comfortable for sure. oakland, 60, in hayward. but 61 palo alto. so some of the milder numbers out there. but with that low cloud deck building, we've got dense fog at the coast. so if you're up there at any time throughout the day, fog is really not going to clear even some mist and drizzle at times. that's going to be the trend for the next several days. the cooling trend continues as we get through today and tomorrow. the cloud cover today, with that system moving up from the south and near average temperatures as we get into the week ahead. so not only will it be more like what we're used to, but we'll look for temperatures to sort of stabilize for the time being. here's a look at the upper level smoke. now we've got those southerly winds. and so
5:20 am
that is going to allow for this haze to continue to drift up into the bay area. so with the onshore flow throughout the rest of the afternoon, it does improve. and we'll continue to see not only that cloud cover move out of the way. the high clouds, but the low clouds as well, meaning sun sunday is your sunnier day. here's a look right now and you'll notice that we're socked in with the clouds at the coast. those mid-level clouds. and then throughout the afternoon, mostly cloudy to partly cloudy. then we get into your sunday morning and we still have the cloud cover. then it's banked up along the coast and we'll see a sunnier afternoon. here's a look at the winds. you know, they always play a factor for sure. and you'll notice that through the delta this morning they're 31 miles an hour there. continue to be kind of breezy to gusty there throughout the day today and then tomorrow as well. the source of our cooling for sure. and as we look at the highs in our inland valleys, upper 80s very pleasant. the next several days, morning fog, afternoon sun. and then it looks like we're going to get into a
5:21 am
warming trend as we get into middle to the end of next week, 92 in concord. that's a switch. upper 80s in san jose. look for 74 in san mateo with 60s downtown and the accuweather seven day forecast for breezy cooler today in fact, looking very pleasant into the second half of the weekend. monday and tuesday as well. and for once, weather. not the story, just very benign. typical summer weather, but by the end of next week, looks like we could definitely turn back the heat, turn it back up. so we'll see how much that verifies. >> yeah, we'll be welcoming that break. thanks, lisa. when we return on abc seven mornings, a potential rate hike for california homeowners. how much all state is trying to raise insurance premiums and

spectacular catch to rob carlos santana de la sal product kyle harrison approving as he wins the all bay area pitching matchup. kyle from danville. oh brett wisely three for three a home run short of the cycle drove in a pair. giants victorious, seven one. they've won the first game in six straight series. it's been the rest of the games after that that have been the problem. a's in their ancestral home of philadelphia. the fanatic best mascot in sports. i think we can agree on that. up for two in the eighth. the butler did it lawrence butler out of here. pinch hit home run. his sixth of the year. a's up six two phillies with the most wins in baseball. but mason miller says i'm throwing 101. nobody's hitting that. a's wins six two, just their 14th road win in the season. steph curry and team usa landed in abu dhabi, where steph was greeted by a falcon that happens to be a national symbol of the united arab emirates. team usa will play a couple of games there. meanwhile, back here in the bay, warriors gm mike dunleavy jr noting steph is eligible for an extension this
5:49 am
summer and i'm boldly predicting that curry will get whatever he wants whenever he wants it. >> yeah, i mean, we'll we'll talk about that too. i mean, look, man, that guy, you know, kind of whatever he wants. so we'll get through all that stuff. it's been, it's been a sprint here, getting through the draft and free agency and summer league and all that, but, all that stuff will get figured out, and i think stuff will be, you know, i think we'll say pretty confidently, he'll be a warrior for life. >> first round of the annual celebrity golf tournament in tahoe, charles barkley shot his best round ever at this event, plus three on the stableford scoring system. and then he went on on sportscenter and he called out the defending tahoe champion, stephen curry. >> steph curry, he's a coward, hannah. he's ducking me. can you believe he knew i was going to play my best round ever? that's what he going to use. some lame, lame excuse like some lame excuse like the olympics to doug me. how could what kind of
5:50 am
excuse is that? >> steph is so scared of charle. he went all the way to abu dhabi to avoid facing him. that's a wrap on morning sports. have a great weekend, everybody. i'm larry beil. >> thanks, larry. well the giants play the minnesota twins here at home today. first pitch is at 415. how's it looking around then, lisa. >> well you know, we'll have a good deal of cloud cover and 60s, mid 60s that south wind up to about 20 miles an hour. look at the lightning here. dry lightning now not any rain associated with this. so if this sparks any fires, that is always the concern because the brush always so dry. it's not going to reach it up to the bay area. but we are looking at the cloud cover from that system. and that's also allowing a robust marine layer. this is the view with all the low clouds. we had a better view a minute ago, but that's what happens when the sun comes up. things change quickly. we are looking at the current numbers, which are certainly
5:51 am
cooling off. 55 san francisco. it is 5658. in oakland was 60. in hayward, mid 50s, half moon bay, some very dense fog at the shoreline. so from mount tam you can see that we're looking at the mid and high level clouds here. 60s by the delta that's south wind up to 31 miles an hour right now. and look how mild it is. from concord to livermore, 65 to 70. there's a look at san jose with the clouds, dense fog at the coast. the marine layer is back. it's deeper. and that it's going to be the source of our cooling trend over the weekend. and then a steady, comfortable near average forecast as we get into the week ahead. there are some changes, though. by the end of the workweek, look at all the clouds as we put this in motion throughout the next several hours. throughout the afternoon, mostly to partly cloudy skies. because the clouds continue to stream up on those surface south winds. and as we look towards sunday morning, still about the same, some mist and drizzle, but by the afternoon they get banked up along the coast and we're into a mostly sunny day with temperatures where more in line
5:52 am
where they should be. so those that southerly flow allowing for the atmosphere to be pretty hazy out there. we do have good air quality for most of us, moderate at times, but as we go through the day, you'll notice how the south winds and the sea breeze continue to push the haze out of the bay area. the winds, they will be robust anywhere from 15 to 25 miles an hour here downtown and looking at the next several days and boy, it looks pretty benign, right? with mid 80s today in the south bay. lower 80s for the rest of the weekend into early next week. looks like we'll get a bump up in the temperatures as we head towards next weekend. so that could be another uh- heat wave, but it's a little too soon to tell. but just keep that in mind. if you're planning for anything for next weekend. 73 today in oakland, look for mid 60s for you in san francisco, upper 70s palo alto with upper 80s in san jose, morgan hill going from triple digits to 91 today, 92 in concord and low to mid 80s up in the north bay. so
5:53 am
big difference there. the accuweather seven day forecast looking at the breezy cooler conditions. 60s coast side 70s bay shore, low 90s inland. and then by tomorrow we'll get into more sun clouds at the coast. that will be the trend. waking up to the fog at the shoreline. sunny afternoon, wide range of temperatures. the microclimates with us for monday. tuesday looks to be one of the cooler days. and as we get into the middle to the end of next week, looks like high pressure that went away may be returning, and that could bring in a hot next weekend, but for next week looks pretty pleasant. stephanie. >> all right lisa thank you. this year's aids walk is just eight days away. on sunday, july 21st at golden gate park. the annual fundraiser event benefits local hiv and aids programs. to register, you can call 415615 walk or visit spades walk dot net.

better in as little as 2 weeks. and when you can breathe better, what isn't better? this is better.
5:55 am
this is better. that's better. and that. even this. dupixent is an add-on treatment for specific types of moderate-to-severe asthma. it works with your asthma medicine to help improve lung function. that's pretty good! dupixent is not for sudden breathing problems. it's proven to help prevent asthma attacks. it can reduce or even eliminate oral steroids. and doesn't that make things better? dupixent can cause allergic reactions that can be severe. tell your doctor right away if you have rash, chest pain, worsening shortness of breath, tingling or numbness in your limbs. tell your doctor about new or worsening joint aches and pain or a parasitic infection. don't change or stop asthma medicines including steroids, without talking to your doctor. when you can get more out of your lungs, you can du more with less asthma. and isn't that better? ask your doctor about dupixent, the most prescribed biologic in asthma.

the knot with his longtime girlfriend radhika merchant in front of thousands of people. as you can see here. ambani is the son of the richest man in india. guests of the wedding included former british prime ministers, ceos and several celebrities. an expert in high end south asian weddings spoke about the wedding, >> so everything, every detail has been, absolutely par excellence. >> and they've really not overlooked any small or big details. so it's been a feast for at least my eyes. and i'm sure a lot of people will agree with me in the industry that to watch all the moving parts, because indian weddings can be very complex, and have a lot of moving parts. >> and we'll go through tomorro. today in the east bay, trumer pils will be celebrating 20
5:57 am
years of brewing in berkeley with a big block party. as an extra treat, there are brewing a new beer for the anniversary called the anniversary ale. they'll be pouring their pilsner and other beers brewed on site as well, and there will also be food options from the taproom and hop monkey tavern. it runs from noon to six at the trumer taproom. the annual obon festival begins today in san jose's japantown. the festival honors loved ones who have passed and will have traditional performances, music and food. the event starts at noon on fifth street between taylor and jackson streets, and the celebrity golf tournament is underway at lake tahoe. but these are the real stars on the green. take a look. no birdies but a bear and two cubs decided they'd walk across the course despite the spectators, and instead of following the golfers, as you can see here, the crowd watched as the family of bears wandered across the fairway. a sight to see. all
