state audit criticism looming amid the celebrations and concern is growing over the plans to close regional medical centers. trauma center. the message supporters are sending to state officials to step in to prevent it. >> from ktvu, fox two news this is mornings on two. >> good morning. thank you for waking up with us here on mornings on two. i'm pam cook garcia has the day off today. >> that's what it is. >> i don't want people to be late. >> yeah, okay. pam's here. i'm dave clark. it is a friday, june 14th. you will immediately notice it's cooler this morning. and steve had the forecast. he told you about it all week. >> it's for us for june 14th. it's a cool morning that's for sure. now again the nights are so short. we're almost to the longest day of this of the year here. coming up about what, six days away. so 40s and 50s. i don't think the 40s will last long, but to make it to 44 occidental, sonoma and san anselmo and terra linda deserves

a wild a little bit of fog. you can see that santa rosa healdsburg, also creeping up the napa valley. not as much as we saw yesterday, that's for sure. more so santa clara valley again. morgan, has it been a foggy may and june and santa clara valley? yes. also on the santa cruz coast, some breaks on the san mateo coast. nice, nice. very nice. today temperatures coming up a little bit. i didn't go with a big warm up like some did. i'm going 60s 70s and mainly low to mid 80s. all right. when it comes to the commute, time waits for no one. so how is it out there? >> you know what it's i would say it's nice. nice. very nice when it comes to the bay bridge. steve, i would yeah. let's take a look here, westbound bay bridge looks very nice. we don't have a big backup, but we do have some issues. highway four has some slow traffic. there's a stalled vehicle coming up on the willow pass exit. and also 37. we hit a crash on 37 at 121. don't let that surprise you. now, if you're leaving from vallejo to novato, it is not light. definitely not. even

though the rest of the bay area commute seems to be 701. let's get back to the headlines. >> thank you. sal. today, santa clara vta will officially begin work to add a bart station to the south bay. at the same time, the transit agency is responding to a state audit on its leadership. ktvu james torres joins us now live to explain the plans and break down the audit. good morning. >> pamela. puppet transportation expansion. and that's something that's been in the works for years. and it's been delayed for years. vta leading the charge here to add six more miles of track and four more bart stations extending through san jose. and while that's well celebrated, the vta is also working through recommendations out of a state audit. assembly member marc berman called for the audit in 2022. that's when he questioned vta's management and oversight, and that report recommended the transit agency reform, its oversight and a couple of different ways as it stands, each board member must be an elected official, which the audit says could be a problem if those officials don't

have any experience in transit. it also mentions the short tenure each board member serves. it's only about two years, which is shorter than other similar agencies of similar sizes. in general, the audit says vta is working through most of its recommendations, but did mention vta rejected two proposals, one regarding the term limits and another about adding more public transparency to the board appointment process. in a press release, vta leaders called the audit thorough, fair, and thoughtful, but did not address rejecting those recommendations. in a statement, assembly member berman said, quote, i do not understand why vta would choose to protect their power to appoint and remove board members behind closed doors with no public transparency or justification, undermining the agency's accountability to residents. i do not understand why vta thinks it is better for board members to serve for shorter amounts of time, given the breadth and complexity of the services vta provides. now,

vta is required to check in with the state on its progress throughout other. those other recommendations that bart expansion. it's going to take a long time to complete. it's set to be done by 2037. pam. >> all right. thank you. james. a federal lawsuit against the san francisco police department over the 2023 dolores park hill bomb skateboarding event is now moving forward. three teenagers are suing the city and the police department for response to that chaotic event. they claim that they were detained without probable cause. a judge blocked the city's attempts to dismiss a possible class action lawsuit, which means more of those teens arrested could join the lawsuit. the ruling was first reported by mission local. while the lawsuit can move forward, the judge also struck down free speech and racial discrimination claims, with the lawsuit our time now 704 in north oakland, the leaders of a charter school are suing the oakland unified school district. >> the lawsuit, filed in alameda county superior court, was a response to the school district's decision to revoke the charter of the north oakland

community charter school. the lawsuit claims that the school district is doing this, even though the charter school is meeting the academic goals outlined in a 2019 agreement to keep the school open, oakland unified says it does not respond to pending legal matters. >> a city task force is recommending berkeley schools consider providing financial payments to the city's black students, who are descendants of slavery. now berkeley's 18 member reparations task force presented its official report to the berkeley unified school district board wednesday night. the panel said its 54 page report boils down to three main suggestions. >> consider 12 possible funding sources, but we are here to recommend three. first is solicit philanthropic corporate giving. second, initiate a lawsuit. third, propose a tax measure via initiative. >> now, the task force also says

the reparations program could be funded by corporations and local philanthropic foundations. >> our time is now. 705 doctors, nurses, county officials in the south bay are increasingly worrying about a plan to close down the regional medical center's trauma center. this summer. they held what they called a lives lost rally, a marched and carried caskets to symbolize the deadly consequences of closing that trauma, center county supervisor cindy chavez says for the people who live nearby, it's a major concern. >> significant traumas will all be going to one of two trauma centers either valley medical center or stanford. they're very far away from here. they are removing a life saving resource from our community. >> supporters of the trauma center say they started a petition, and they've now collected nearly 5000 signatures, urging state officials to step in and keep the doors open. the trauma

center is scheduled to close in august. >> oakland's new police chief, floyd mitchell, outlined his first proposed budget for the department. chief mitchell provided the details of his $346 million budget plan at last night's meeting. he says the plan will freeze staffing levels at 678 officers, and that there won't be any layoffs. however some civilian positions may be eliminated, such as crime scene technicians and evidence technicians. the chief says his priority is getting back to basics, providing high visibility on our streets and responding to 911 calls for service because that's where we are at this point in time. >> when you have a police department that is slowly shrinking and they'll call for service or the workload is getting better, bigger, you have to really focus on what you can do. >> chief mitchell has been on the job for about a month now, and says most of his budget plan was already in place before he arrived in oakland. >> our time now is 707. oakland voters will be asked to help

five cultural attractions the city council will place a $182 million bond measure on the november ballot, and if it's approved, this money would pay for projects for sites including the chabot space and science center, children's fairyland and the oakland museum of california. the projects include renovations, security, storing, collections, and improved amenities for visitors. >> the alameda county fair kicks off today in pleasanton. organizers hope to draw last year's attendance, which was about 440,000 people in the 24 days. this year's activities include fan favorites, the ferris wheel, fireworks, a drone show and of course, all that good fair food. performers taking the stage will include bay area rapper e-40 and the 80s female group exposé. exposé staff at the fairgrounds are recommending this year's new dog and raptor shows. >> the dogs are going through the course. they're jumping through the air, landing in the

water. we also have a raptor show this year. raptors, birds of prey, super popular. you'll get to see them up close and personal. >> the alameda county fair goes till july 7th. the alameda county fairgrounds out there in pleasanton. it is contactless, so you do need to buy your tickets and parking passes online ahead of time. and you can go to ktvu.com and click on web links for more information on. there are ticket kiosks at the fair, though for you and the prices are the same as online. >> time now is 709. and just like e-40, i'm going to tell you when to go. and if you're on highway 37, you should go now. it's going to take you longer. getting out of vallejo another e-40 reference, sort of, heading west over to novato. you are going to see a lot of slow traffic. that's because of an earlier crash involving two pickup trucks right at 121, and one pickup truck burned to the ground. no one was hurt, but it

was a spectacle, and people are going to be stuck in slow traffic. some people have been using the richmond-san rafael bridge as an alternate. this is the bay bridge. we don't have a lot of slow traffic there today, and that's pretty good. likewise for that san mateo bridge. it's a little crowded, but it looks pretty good heading over to the peninsula at 709. let's go back to the desk. >> okay, sal. thank you. well, those accessory dwelling units, also known as adus, they just became more valuable. we have details of the new ordinance ban that would allow homeowners to sell those units as separate properties. >> this is another person in our community lost from traffic violence designing our streets for bike and ped and people taking the bus. it's the best way that we're going to get to zero fatalities. >> concerns about safety and crossing streets in san francisco after another pedestri was killed

it was a memory of a victim of a deadly hit and run crash. and the leaders say this reflects an even bigger problem. >> ktvu is andre senior joining us now in studio with the details of that. >> this has happened so often across the bay area and the city as well. well, last night's

vigil was held in the city's bernal heights neighborhood. that's where a 41 year old man was struck and killed while crossing the street early on monday morning. police they're still searching for the driver responsible now for this tragedy. the safety group walk sf organized the vigil. the leaders of that group say the city needs to make safety improvements on mission street near courtland avenue, where the victim was killed. and they say similar safety upgrades must be made in order in other dangerous intersections all across san francisco, designing our streets for bike and ped and people taking the bus. >> it's the best way that we're going to get to zero fatalities and really bring down the serious injuries. >> san francisco transit leaders say the city has installed more speed cameras and posed new traffic safety rules, and created more dedicated bike lanes in just the past few years. but walk sf says it needs to do much more, and one person who uses his bike to get around the city well, he strongly agrees. >> i'm inactive like a very frequent biker, so. and a walker

so. so it is important for me to like have pedestrian safety. and i think there's a lot of work that the city should be doing that i don't see being done. and i wish that the city did more. >> meantime, san francisco police continue their investigation into monday night's deadly hit and run crash . investigators want to hear from any witness who can provide more information about what happened there. they're also hoping someone will step forward with cell phone video of this deadly crash. pam. >> all right. thank you. andre. san francisco muni plans to remove the controversial bike lanes on valencia street. last august, muni started a year long pilot program to see if those center running bike lanes would improve safety in the mission district. but now, after getting pushback from businesses, cyclists and drivers, the city will now end the experiment early. and they're preparing to push the bike lanes back to the sides of the street. >> the main reason why we went with the center running design was to support the local merchants in their parklets, now

that we have heard from them, we're realizing that the best option for both safety and to support the local merchants is likely, side running design. >> the city says it will look for board approval for the next plan. the new plan next week. >> all right, we look to solve right now to get us where we need to go around in our commute . how's it look? what are you checking on? >> i'm checking on a problem here in the south bay. >> dave and pam, northbound 101. at 280. i noticed that there's some slow traffic here on 101. the good thing about san jose is there are some good alternate routes. so you can avoid 101, use 87, use 85, and avoid 101 at 280. it's not like today is very crowded and there are some good alternate routes on the north side of the bay. we've also been checking highway 37 is a mess out of vallejo westbound because of an earlier crash, right at 121. one vehicle completely burned to the ground. no one was

hurt, but the vehicle is charred there on the side. you can have to get it out with a flatbed truck. and the traffic has been heavy. it might start improving. they're making some progress, but don't be surprised by that. bay bridge is light. 716 let's talk about today's weather. >> here's steve, i was just talking to you, young man, out there in the newsroom. >> yes, sir. you know, it's always nice when you come visit my little traffic center here. >> yes, sir. all right, i enjoyed it. all right. we do have some cool lows for june 14th. is it just me or have you noticed it's been a cooler summer so far for us so far. we get a couple of days of heat and then it comes right back down. occidental, sonoma and san anselmo made it to 44. terra linda was also in there as well. woodside 45, windsor was 46. healdsburg also made it to 46. fairfax in there, palo alto 47, clayton 48. there were many 49. martinez was in there. i know los altos was in there. maybe you're a backyard thermometer as well, but for us, these are cool lows for this time of year. i think some low clouds have come

in. plus the night is so short now, but even on the coast, bodega bay 49. there's occidental now. 45, 47 cloverdale. that's cool for this time of year. you kidding me? this is the main factor here. the forecast on the almanac for san francisco 6452 today. average 6753. it's all about this right there on this date in 2000, it was 103 in san francisco for a record high. it was 107 in san jose and 108 in santa rosa. if you're a longtime resident, there were also record highs set on the state in 1961. west southwest travis, south wind, hayward. south wind. concord. so, i mean, there's a decent breeze. not not roaring or anything. 49 water temp point arena 49 point ray's, what's interesting is next sunday, monday, tuesday, we could get a strong northwest wind. if that happens, these may go down. you may see 48, which is extremely rare. we saw it once last summer. so something to watch for next week. 4050 on the temps here a couple of low 60s. we are

running cooler though than 24 hours ago, except for half moon bay, but just 1 to 4. but if it feels a little cooler to you this morning, it is. today will be nice. i mean, i just bumped temps up a little bit. i didn't buy any of these upper 80s or 90s, but it'll be a little warmer today. and then a really a wind producing system is coming in sunday, monday and tuesday. friday sunshine, some low clouds, but there's noticeable breaks in it compared to yesterday. highs 60, 70, 80. if you might push the upper 80s. the big news though again, will be when we meet again sunday. monday into tuesday could be downright windy around here. >> thank you steve. visitors to a popular lake tahoe destination will now have to book a reservation over. crowding is forcing the state parks department to set up reservations for sand harbor beach, which is just south of incline village. a lot of people head to the area during the summer and clogged that stretch of highway 28. that leads to the beach reservation lines open in july for visiting sand harbor beach from august 17th to october 13th, just looking at

that water though, makes me want to go. there is a $5 nonrefundable fee. a warning for colleges that do not condemn anti-semitism on campus. the measure is being considered following the latest protests and 12 years ago, the lives of hundreds of thousands of undocumented youth changed because of daca. >> what immigrant rights groups and advocates are demanding now that the daca program is entering another year?

antisemitism on campuses. the powerful house ways and means committee held a hearing titled crisis on campus anti-semitism radical faculty and the failure of university leadership. the witnesses who testified included a graduate of cornell university and an assistant professor from columbia university. they claim that schools nationwide are not doing enough to protect jewish students and faculty from violent protests. >> the message was very clear rules are meaningless and lawlessness is rewarded. >> we must hold accountable the faculty who openly support and celebrate terrorism.

>> the lawmakers are considering punishment like revoking the tax exempt status of schools that allow anti-semitism to spread on their campuses. republican lawmakers also want to investigate the funding for campus protests. and if the money is coming from foreign governments. >> tomorrow is the 12th anniversary of daca, the deferred action for childhood arrivals program. fighting for justice, fighting for justice. >> no more deportation and no more deportation. >> a group of daca recipients and supporters gathered at capitol hill, urging the biden administration to expand protections for so-called dreamers. now joining the group was california senator alex padilla. he says president biden can help daca recipients and undocumented communities through bold executive action. >> i'm talking about teachers and caregivers, nurses and doctors, people, people who have grown up in america just like so

many us citizens, but do not enjoy legal status. >> i, along with my family and millions of other daca recipients, should be able to feel safe in the place we call home, free from the ever present shadow that we are only one policy away from being stripped from friends and loved ones. >> an estimated 530,000 people in the u.s. are considered dreamers. they entered the country illegally as children and later applied and received temporary lawful immigration status. but the policy is currently being litigated in the courts now, according to daca supporters, they say the program has made a big difference for undocumented immigrants. when daca began in 2012, 60% were in the labor force. now it's 88% the median income was just $4,000. now it's about 37,000 or 35% went to college. since its inception, and nearly every recipient has graduated from a

us high school and half went to college. >> our time now. 725 a new report says california children rank in the bottom third of all us states when it comes to overall well-being. the research found the growing number of california children and teenagers are dying compared to previous years because of several factors, including parental neglect and declining health care. that same study found that more than half of california's three and four year olds are not going to school at all, despite the many preschools around the state. well, the board of barnard adopts a big budget aimed at preventing service cuts and enhancing rider safety. we have details on how the board plans to keep riders safe, and waymo is recalling its entire driverless fleet after one of the cars hit a utility pole. >> we'll tell you how the company plans to address the issue.

because that the lantern fly threatens their crops. what they want community members around

the region to do to keep vineyards safe. and today, the alameda county fair kicks off and we will take a look at what's new out there this year from ktvu. >> fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> well, good morning and thank you for joining us. welcome to mornings on two i'm dave clark. >> good morning i'm pam cook. it's friday june 14th celebrating friday i'm in for garcia. hopefully having a nice day. and i know people might be headed to the alameda county fair in pleasanton. and it's pretty mild weather for them this time of year. >> it will not be bad at all because it can be brutally hot out there sometimes. if it was on tuesday, i would have said, oh man, but no, not not bad at all. here, let's call garcia and see where she is here. panel. yeah, get get her on the phone. >> where is she? >> get that woman on the phone. all right, a little bit of fog. petaluma, santa rosa. not more breaks there, but unseasonably cool this morning here for us. a lot of 40s. most. most of the fog is santa clara valley down

towards santa cruz and then down to monterey. there's some on the san mateo coast, but it's kind of kind of thinning out there. but today will be nice. nice very nice, that's for sure. temperatures coming up a little bit, but not a lot. i'm not buying into a big warm up, so i'm going 60, 70 and then 80s. well when it comes to the morning commute, i'm ready. i'm ready to hear good news. sal. >> so you're not holding on to yesterday? >> i'm not holding on to yesterday. all right. not at all. good, good, good. >> all right, let's go out and see what we have here, highway 37. i would avoid it. i would avoid 37 getting over to novato, and just to show you how much i feel about that, i would use, i would pay and use the richmond-san rafael bridge. yes, i would have to pay, but i don't want to be sitting in that slow traffic on 37 because of that earlier accident. and car fire we had right at 121. so you know, get on the road and get out there. and this is a look at the bay bridge toll plaza. you can see today it's lighter than usual. 731 let's get back to the

desk. >> all right. thank you. sal. city leaders in the south bay are now allowing homeowners to sell accessory dwelling units as separate pieces of property. a state law passed last year allows the change, and san jose is the first city to implement it. adus made up almost one third of all new housing in the city last year. there are about 400 of those backyard homes at price points that don't exist at lower cost than we can otherwise do in the market right now, and in parts of the city that are otherwise totally inaccessible. the measure could take effect by late july. >> our time is now 732. in east oakland, a new affordable housing development is open. they just cut the ribbon. the grand opening was held for ax cherry hill apartments, 94th avenue, and international boulevard, a 55 unit mixed use development. 14 of the apartments are for households that used to be homeless. the development also has community

spaces and a health clinic on the ground floor. >> one of several projects in this neighborhood, and it combines housing and community spaces and, community organizing and health services really holistically looks at the needs of a community. >> and the people in east oakland deserve to have a nice, clean, beautiful place to live. >> thank god that development was built through a public, private partnership between the city of oakland and acts community development corporation. >> bart's board of directors has voted to adopt a new $1 billion two year budget. the move is to avoid service cuts and continue investments in safety. the budget supports optimized train schedules, maintaining the maximum 20 minute wait time on weekdays until 9 p.m. bart is also pushing for improved safety and cleanliness by reducing the train lengths during off hours. the agency says it hopes to deter crime, with more police riding the trains, and they plan to do that by adding 19

additional officers once the current vacancies are filled. funds are also allocated for expanding their new taller fare gates at more stations. >> all right, our time is 733. today is the beginning of the alameda county fair. the gates open at noon today. the entire fair will run through july the 7th. a popular attraction is something special to me. food and a new feature for foodies allows people to vote for your favorite new foods out there. ktvu s alice wertz has been out there at the fairgrounds in pleasanton. tell us more. you have a guest as well to. >> oh, yes, there's lots of food this year at the county fair in pleasanton at the alameda county fairgrounds. i'm here with harry davies. he is the event coordinator for the food here at the fair. you'll see everything's always bigger at the fair. harry tell us what we've got here this year. >> so much food. we have over 100 food vendors. right? so one

of the biggest things at the fair is the food, right? it's about the experience. yes. so we have a foot long corn dog. have you ever seen one so big? i mean that'll feed you for two days probably. >> sal castaneda will eat it in ten minutes. i bet we have a rocket dog here. >> yes, i would, so it's red, white and blue themed. so that's something new. and also red, white and blue cake. as you can see, one of the themes of our fair this year is red, white and blue. because of the 4th of july. so just going great with that red, white and blue theme. we have bacon wrapped pizza on a stick, right? so it's wrapped in the dough pizza. you can select either pepperoni or sausage or what have you. >> what about these ones? what is this? >> that's a sweet dragon. so again, another corn dog. that's just your traditional dip. but it's got the sweet texture on the outside. that's something new to just get your taste buds going. >> and of course you've got super nachos pizzas. you got a couple of new flavors this year

and beer tacos as well, with a consommé, cilantro and onions. lots of good options here. what's new this year as far as the foodies ability? >> so we have the foodie choice awards this year where you can go to food stands. there's a qr code, you can vote for your favorite food, right. so these food vendors, you'll get to participate. you'll get to kind of get involved. and then they get prizes too. so they're going to get a trophy and a ribbon for the winners. and we announce the winners on june 30th. so come out to the fair, get the food, vote for your favorite. you're just going to have a great time. >> i'm going to go with the pizza. the hot dogs, the nachos, and of course the kettle corn and cotton candy. we're going to head back to you at the desk, but the fair runs through july 7th. and if you go to our site at ktvu .com, click on web links and you'll get all the information you need, including how to order tickets for parking and passes to entry online. >> sounds good. alice wertz

thank you. save some for me. all right. our time is 736 with the growers of wine grapes. they're warning vineyards around california about a very destructive insect called the spotted lanternfly. now so far, live samples haven't been seen yet here in california. but the wine industry fears it's going to show up soon. masses of eggs were recently found in truckee at an agriculture inspection station. now adult lanternflies look like a red and black butterfly or moth. it was detected in the northeastern u.s. and caused major problems to vineyards in that area. lanternflies feed on trees. they're known to love grapes and they can cause a lot of damage to vineyards, so watch out. >> all right, important information. let's check in with sal. speaking of important information, i hope it's a light friday everywhere except highway 37. >> pam. and we've been talking about driving from vallejo to

novato. it really has been terrible because of this crash we had at 121 one, 1.1 of the vehicles was completely involved in flames. no serious injuries were told, but the traffic is terrible. you might want to use the richmond-san rafael bridge instead. bay bridge looks good and some of these commutes are looking very good right now. if you look at the south bay commute, it's been light. we had an earlier crash northbound 101 at 280, still a little residual slow traffic there, but things are getting better. 737 let's bring steve back with the weekend forecast. >> all right sal, we'll get to it here. it's a quiet friday. it will be a little bit warmer inland today though. but we'll go down. look back at the climate data. because on this date, if you were here in 2000, i should add santa rosa was a record setting 108. san jose was 107, and san francisco hit 103 degrees on this date. and i remember it well because i was at the giants game with my buddy

mike delfino. but that was a big time event on this date 24 years ago. hard to believe, 52, the low in the city this morning. it's been 52 since 143. in the morning. it has not changed. speaking of lows, occidental sonoma, san anselmo, woodside, windsor, fairfax, palo alto, clayton, all between 44 and 48. so if you took the dog out and said, hey, it's a little cool this morning, you were right. it is cool. still some 40s hanging on cloverdale this morning at one time was also 46, i think, which is amazingly cool for june 14th and this time of year, really 47 occidental now 40s for some fairfax rebounding san anselmo. but even bodega bay and point reyes at 49 there is an onshore breeze. it's coming down, but i don't think it's going away. it'll still be with us, but it's not a roaring wind. water temps. point arena and point reyes 49 cove cold, cold degrees. i cannot overemphasize this is how cold it is in the city. the san francisco buoy is 53. this has a huge correlation on the overnight lows on the

coast and also in san francisco. if the water temp is 5859, then you notice it. you don't sleep as well. when it's 50, 51, 52, you're like, man, it's cold. 50 is on the temps here, some 60s popping up and even vacaville is only 58. we're running a little cooler than 24 hours ago. 1 to 4 degrees. not a big, but petaluma, novato or minus four. big change will be sunday, monday, tuesday and unseasonably deep system is going to move in to the north. it'll be a little warmer today. i'm not buying a big jump up, but it's going to get windy around here. sunday, monday and tuesday remains to be seen how deep it is and how long it lasts, so that'll have an impact on temps, but i think they'll be below average on sunday into monday. friday sunshine though 60s, 70s, 80s i think similar on saturday. then that wind is going to be a factor on it for sunday. monday you guys all right steve thank you. >> and can we talk soccer now. the biggest world soccer champions of the summer are right here on ktvu and on fox sports. it all starts this morning. you'll be able to watch the copa america and european championship tournaments right

and transparency without doubt, the political motivation. >> now, evan low's bill would apply to any election where the margin of victory is less than a quarter percent or less than 25 votes. evan low will face sam liccardo in the general election on november 5th. neither liccardo nor joe simitian had any comments about evan low's bill for president biden today is a busy day at the g7 summit in southern italy. >> now, we just wrapped up a meeting with italy's prime minister about migration throughout europe and support for ukraine against russia. the president is using the summit to build support for a cease fire plan between israel and hamas. >> president biden, did you all have a chance to discuss a possible cease fire? >> yes. >> another reminder that to putin, we're not backing down. in fact, we're standing together against this illegal aggression. >> in just a few hours, pope francis will address the g7 summit. he's also expected to

utility bills and property taxes. a report by the company bankrate, shows homeowners now spend more than $18,000 a year, which is nearly a 30% jump from just four years ago. the hidden expenses don't include the monthly mortgage payment. >> all right, pam, as time is 748. right back to sal. he'll help you get to where you need to go on this friday morning. i found you so what's happening out there now? >> yeah. you know, we don't have a lot going on, which is good, but some of the commutes are sticking out, like highway 37. we had some earlier problems near 121. and if you're leaving vallejo getting over to novato, i would not recommend 37. they have a pretty big cleanup to do there on 37, where the crash was at 121. maybe you could use the richmond bridge, or maybe you could put off a trip if you have flexibility, 80 is not all that slow, and when you get to the bay bridge, there's not a big backup at all getting into san francisco. likewise for the san mateo bridge, south bay commute had a little bit of an issue on

northbound 101. we've had a couple of different crashes. one on one is slow from the capital expressway up to 880, but 280 and 85 are good alternate routes for you this morning. 749 let's talk about today's weather. here's steve all right, sal, we'll take a look at our visible satellite. >> not as much support for the fog this morning. the air aloft cooled down inland. temperatures cooled down. that usually wipes it out. some made it, though water temperature. they weren't this cold. we wouldn't be. probably dealing with this much fog, but still some healdsburg, santa rosa, petaluma a little bit now. looks like a vallejo napa. starting to wind down there a little bit, but more so towards the san mateo coast, santa clara valley for sure. you can see that down towards santa cruz. so but again, it's on borrowed time here. but the mere fact that it made it's still kind of impressive to me. 50 is on a lot of temps. really cool this morning, a lot of mid 40s, upper 40s truckies now 46 south lake tahoe 4766 in reno 57. mount been hot in reno the last couple of days. no doubt. system coming in for sunday monday is going to crank up the wind today

though, and tomorrow look similar. a little bit warmer inland temperatures. it will go warmer friday, although not a big jump. i'm not, i'm not. i don't think so. gusty winds though will be the big story. northwest we'll keep an eye on. see if it doesn't turn northerly. hopefully it does not. if it stays northwesterly, we'll be quite cool here, but also windy sunday, monday, friday sunshine though sunny and nice. the breeze will be with us not going away, but 60s, 70s, 80s. i don't think there will be too much change saturday sunday though. monday. yes, the wind will be the big factor. big story here. >> our time is now 750 well, cal fire launching a first of its kind program to make sure homes are more fire resistant. now it provides up to $40,000 for low income homeowners and high risk fire areas. it's a pilot program. it involves several counties, including lake shasta, siskiyou, el dorado, tuolumne and san diego counties, and the goal is to retrofit 2500 homes and create a template for other california communities.

concerned citizens, mostly gentlemen, that have been here as children with their fathers or grandfathers said, hey, we can't lose this building. we can't lose this facility. the hall of famers that have come through here, 182 of them, quite a few of them are leaguers that never made it to the big leagues, but they all had a time and place in history, and they had a time here. and we want to celebrate that with everyone. what a great story. >> next thursday, both the giants and the cardinals will wear special uniforms in honor of the leagues, and ktvu greg lee will be there. he's going to bring us live coverage from alabama. he will also be able to watch the giants game right here on ktvu. our coverage begins next thursday, 2:30 p.m. the game starts at 4 p.m. well, the san francisco giants start a weekend series tonight against the angels at oracle park. san francisco won two out of the

but i. you know, i've seen forecast highs today in santa rosa. anywhere from 78 to 90. i kind of split the difference when 84, 85. still more. more towards santa clara valley. santa cruz starting to thin out over the city and also on the san mateo coast. so today will be nice, nice, very nice. and temperatures 60, 70, 80 had cool lows this morning, that's for sure, 60 7080 probably similar on saturday. well, sometimes on that morning commute, you're just saying to yourself, world, leave me alone. what about this morning on friday? >> steve, are you holding on to yesterday? >> i am sal. >> are i get you, i get you, yes . san jose, this freeway is holding on to yesterday. everyone else has a light commute. it's friday. they didn't realize that, i guess, but there's a crash, right there. you can see it. you can see it right here in our camera on northbound 101 blocking lanes here. just after mckee. so give yourself plenty of time. you can see that they're still blocking lanes. they're making some, improvements. it's in other

words, they've managed to get some of the cars out of the way, but the traffic is very slow in san jose. however, if you're driving on 280, you could use that 8587. those are pretty decent alternate routes. another freeway that's been really troublesome has been 37. getting out of vallejo and heading over to novato. that's because of an earlier wreck right at 121. so don't be surprised if you drive from vallejo to novato is much longer with all that slowing. 801 let's go back to the desk. >> so thank you, santa clara vta will officially begin work on adding a bart station to the south bay. at the same time, the agency is responding to a state audit on its leadership. ktvu james torres joins us live to explain plans and breakdown the audit. james andre good morning to you. >> well, a public transportation expansion has been in the works for years. it's also been delayed for years. vta leading the charge here to add six more miles of track and four more bart stations extending through san jose. and while that's well celebrated, vta is also working

through recommendations out of a state audit. state assembly member marc berman called. this ought rather called for this audit in 2022, where he questioned vta's management and oversight. the report recommended the transit agency reform its oversight, and a couple of different ways. as it stands, each board member must be an elected official, which the audit says could be a problem if those elected officials don't have any experience in transit. it also mentions the short tenure each board member serves. it's only about two years, which is shorter than other similar agencies. in general, the audit says vta is working through most of its recommendations, already has a plan to address most of them, but it did say vta rejected two proposals, one regarding those term limits and another about adding more public transparency to the board appointment process. in a release, vta leaders called the audit thorough, fair and thoughtful, but they did not address rejecting those recommendations. in a statement, assembly member berman said, quote, i do not understand why

vta would choose to protect their power to appoint and remove board members behind closed doors with no public transparency or justification, undermining the agency's accountability to residents. i do not understand why vta thinks it is better for board members to serve for shorter amounts of time, given the breadth and complexity of the services vta provides, the vta is required to check in with the state on its progress through those other recommendations. it's working on that, bart expansion. it will take a while. it's set to be completed by 2037. pam. >> all right. thank you, james. a federal lawsuit is moving forward against the san francisco police department over the 2023 dolores park hill bomb skateboarding event. now three teenagers are suing the city and the police department for the response to the chaotic event. they claim they were detained without probable cause. a judge blocked the city's attempts to dismiss a possible class action lawsuit, which means more of those teens arrested could join the suit. however, the judge

struck down the claims of free speech and racial discrimination in it is eight zero for now. >> surveillance video from sunnyvale shows the moment about 20 people broke into a jewelry store. check this out. the smashed cases with hammers and other tools. it happened at a store on el camino real. this is on wednesday afternoon. police were able to arrest these five people involved in the robbery and recover some of the jewelry, but the total value of what was stolen is still unclear. investors are searching for the other people involved and say they're trying to determine if this incident is connected to a similar robbery in sunnyvale last month, leaders of a charter school in north oakland are suing the oakland unified school district. the lawsuit, filed in alameda county superior court, was in response to the school district's decision to revoke the charter of the north oakland community charter school. the lawsuit claims the school is doing this even though the charter school is meeting the academic goals outlined in the 2019 agreement to keep the school open, oakland unified says it does not respond to

pending legal matters. >> a city task force is recommending berkeley schools consider providing financial payments to the city's black students, who are descendants of slavery. the task force presented its official report to the berkeley unified school district board this week. the panel said it's 54 page report boils down to three main suggestions. >> consider 12 possible funding sources, but we are here to recommend three. the first is solicit philanthropic corporate giving. second, initiate a lawsuit. third, propose a tax measure via initiative. >> the task force also says the reparations program could be funded by corporations and local philanthropic foundations. >> 8 to 6 now doctors, nurses and county officials in the south bay are increasingly getting worried about a plan to close regional medical center's trauma center this summer. they held what they called a lives lost rally, and during a march, they carried caskets they say

symbolizes the deadly consequences of the trauma centers closure. supervisor cindy chavez says for those who live nearby, this is a serious concern for them. >> significant traumas will all be going to one of two trauma centers, either valley medical center or stanford. they're very far away from here. they are removed, a life saving resource from our community. >> supporters of the trauma center say they have collected nearly 5000 signatures, urging state officials to step in to keep the doors open. the trauma center is scheduled to close in august. >> oakland's new police chief, floyd mitchell, outlined his first proposed budget for the department. chief mitchell provided the details of his $346 million budget plan at last night's meeting. now he says the plan will freeze staffing levels at 678 officers and that there will not be any layoffs. however, some civilian positions may be eliminated, such as crime scene technicians and evidence technicians. the chief says his priority is getting back to

basics, providing high visibility on our streets and responding to 911 calls for service because that's where we are at this point in time. >> when you have a police department that is slowly shrinking and they'll call for service or the workload is getting better, bigger, you have to really focus on what you can do. >> chief mitchell has been on the job for about a month now and says most of his budget plan was already in place before he arrived in oakland. >> oakland voters will be asked to help five cultural attractions. the city council plans to place a 182 million bond measure dollar bond measure on the november ballot. now, if approved, this money would fund projects for sites including chabot science and space center, children's fairyland and the oakland museum of california. projects include renovations, security, storing collections, and better amenities for visitors. >> the alameda county fair kicks off today in pleasanton. organizers hope to draw last year's attendance, which was about 445,000 people in the 24

days. this year's activities include all the fan favorites that big ferris wheel, fireworks , a drone show, and of course, a lot of fun fair food. performers taking the stage will include bay area rapper e-40, we love him and the 80s female group exposé. staff at the fairgrounds are recommending this year's new dog and raptor shows. >> the dogs are going through the course, they're jumping through the air, landing in the water. we also have a raptor show this year. raptors, birds of prey. super popular. you'll get to see them up close and personal. >> the alameda county fair runs through july seventh. you can go to ktvu.com and click on web links for all that ticket information. >> time now is 809 and we still have that crash northbound 101 north of mckee. we can see it here on the freeway. they have the two left lanes closed now. it looks like they're making progress. i've seen them various activities here. they've had some cars towed away. they may

be getting ready to open it, but well the damage is done. you know, like to say that sometimes the backup is almost all the way out to the capital expressway. if you're in southern san jose, just use 85 or perhaps use 280. it's going to be a little slow, a little bit, but i would still use 280 instead of 101. the livermore valley looks pretty good. the altamont pass commute has really improved. one of the things that's been a pain this morning has been highway 37, and that's because of an earlier pickup truck that got into a crash. there was also a car fire associated with that. you know, it's been light has been the bay bridge. we haven't had a big backup all morning long. 810. let's go back to the desk. >> all right. so those accessory dwelling units, also known as ords, just became more valuable details of the new ordinance that would allow homeowners to sell those units as separate properties. plus, this is another person in our community lost from traffic violence designing our streets for bike and ped and people taking the

a suspect is now in custody in connection with a shooting that prompted a shelter in place now. officers were called to the scene near hillsdale boulevard, just east of highway 101, shortly after 430 yesterday afternoon. police say the shooting suspect surrendered after they spotted him hiding in an apartment complex. >> officers were able to locate the suspect, who was in the apartment complex located behind me, after a plan was put in place, the suspect finally exited the apartment and was safely detained. >> the shelter in place order was then immediately lifted. police say they found the shooting victim a short time later. a few miles south in san carlos. there's no word on his condition. well the pedestrian safety group led a vigil for the victim of a deadly hit and run crash in san francisco. >> last night's memorial service was held in the city's bernal

heights neighborhood. and that is where a 41 year old man was struck and killed while crossing the street early monday morning. police are still searching for the driver now. the safety group walk sf, organized the vigil. it says the city needs to make safety improvements on mission street, near cortland avenue and other dangerous intersections in the city, lining our streets for bike and ped and people taking the bus. >> it's the best way that we're going to get to zero fatalities and really bring down the serious injuries, san francisco police want to hear from anyone who has any information. >> on monday night's hit and run . they're also hoping someone will step forward with video of that deadly crash. >> san francisco muni plans to remove the controversial bike lanes on valencia street now. last august, muni started a year long pilot program to see if center running bike lanes would improve safety in the mission district. now after getting pushback from businesses, cyclists and drivers, the city will end the experiment early and prepare to push those bike lanes back to the sides of the

street. >> the main reason why we went with the center running design was to support the local merchants in their parklets, now that we have heard from them, we're realizing that the best option for both safety and to support the local merchants is likely a side running design. >> the city says it will look for board approval for the next plan next week. >> it is almost 816 this morning. sal is back with a look at the roads on this friday. sal. >> well, first the good news. >> andre and pam, we have right behind you. you can see i'll just put it up there. the bay bridge has been really great. no major issues. likewise for the san mateo bridge. that looks pretty good heading over to the peninsula. they're still clearing a crash northbound 101 right there at mckee. or just north of it. that's blocking the two left lanes in san jose. you can see what it's doing to that right side of the valley. if you're going from west to east, there on the east side there is very slow. 280 is also getting

all between 44 and 48. cool degrees still an onshore breeze. i don't want, you know, it's a little more than a zephyr there, but it's not a howling wind. but i mean, david's point west at 17, even atlas peak is a west wind. oakland, berkeley hills west southwest. so as long as that breeze is in place, i mean south wind or west southwest, it's tough to get that warm. i mean, you know, really. so these water temps i cannot overemphasize how incredibly cold these are. 49, 49. and next week we may get a strong northwest wind. it is possible rare indeed, but it is possible to see a 48 degree water temp. i think it'll happen next week. some fog hanging on petaluma, santa rosa up towards healdsburg. most of it though is burning off unless you're down towards santa cruz, santa clara valley where there's still some holding on a little bit. still on the san mateo coast. 50s on the temps or 60s for a few 50s up in the mountains. truckee, south lake tahoe, matthis at 61 today and tomorrow. don't look all that different, although the big news will be on sunday, monday, maybe even into tuesday. it will be a little bit warmer

really starting to reap the benefits. it's still a little bit slow out of vallejo we had a crash a long standing 137 at 121. it caused slow traffic in both directions. to be fair, is still slow, but it's much better than it was. and right now i think friday has a lot to do with it. let's go to the south bay, where northbound 101, they just cleared a wreck. northbound 101 at mckee. i want to show you the bay bridge. that's been very good. not a big delay at all. if you're driving into san francisco from oakland, it's 830. let's go back to the headlines. >> well, one, grape growers are having a warning now across california about a very destructive insect. it's called the spotted lantern butterfly. and so far, live samples of this insect have not turned up in california. but the wine industry fears it could soon arrive. egg masses were recently found at an agricultural inspection station in truckee. adult lanternflies look like a red and black butterfly or moth. this insect was detected in the northeastern u.s. and causes serious problems to vineyards in

that part of the country. >> i was looking for a lanternfly. i would certainly be looking inside my canopy here. this is part of a california's identity as the wine culture, and we need to do everything we can to try to protect that. >> so the lanternflies feed on trees and is known to love grapes and can cause considerable damage to vineyards. >> city leaders in the south bay are now allowing homeowners to sell those accessory dwelling units as separate pieces of property. a new state law passed last year allows the change in. san jose is the first city to implement it. adus made up almost one third of all new housing in the city last year. there were about 400 of these backyard homes, and they provide help for new homeowners at price points that don't exist at lower cost than we can otherwise do in the market right now, and in parts of the city that are otherwise totally inaccessible. the measure could take effect by late july.

>> well, in east oakland now a new affordable housing development is now open. a grand opening was held at ax cherry hill apartments. this is at 94th avenue and international boulevard. it's a 55 unit mixed use development. the development also has a community space and a health clinic on the ground floor. >> it's one of several projects in this neighborhood, and it combines housing and community spaces and a community organizing and health services really holistically. looks at the needs of a community. >> and the people in east oakland deserve to have a nice, clean, beautiful place to live. and god, can we give a round of applause? >> the development was built through a private public partnership between the city of oakland and acts community development corporation. >> bart's board of directors has voted to adopt a new $1 billion two year budget. the move is to avoid service cuts and continue investments in safety. now the budget supports optimized train schedules, maintaining that maximum 20 minute wait time on

weekdays until 9 p.m. bart is also pushing for improved safety and cleanliness by reducing train lengths during off hours. the agency says it hopes to deter crime, with more police riding the trains. bart is adding 19 additional officers and funds are allocated for expanding its new, taller fare gates at more stations. >> the east bay city of pittsburgh has grown a little larger following a vote this week. a 600 acre property in the hills southwest of pittsburgh was officially annexed into city limits. that clears the way for an east bay developer to build as many as 1500 new single family homes in the area. however, environmentalists and other critics of the proposed housing development are worried about how this project will affect this current area of open space. tasty foods, carnival rides, pig races are just some of the attractions at this year's alameda county fair. the gates open in a little more than three hours from now. alice wertz is getting a preview this morning of what this year's fair has to offer. she joins us now

know, what the edge of purgatory sometimes out there. but not this year. at least not at least it won't be through the first. probably five days. that's the way, leanne varney is in the city. it finally hit 53 degrees in san francisco at nearly 830 in the morning. why is that significant? because it's been 52 degrees since 143. in the morning. that's a long stretch to be at 5264 is my forecast high average 6753. of note again for june 14th, if you were around in 2000, was this 103 the record high that was set on this date in 2000? santa rosa was 108. san jose was 107. i brought this up, was at the giants game and people were dropping like flies. i mean, they were they really were. it was that hot that day. not this morning. it was unseasonably cool for us. occidental, sonoma, san anselmo, woodside, windsor, fairfax, palo alto, clayton. there were many. i just can't fit them all in there between 44 and 48 degrees. i don't think anybody got under 44. but to get that cool on june 14th, that's impressive. onshore breeze. you can see it's there.

it's not a win, but it's a breeze. so that's onshore even out to travis. 18 concord hayward oakland napa turned a little northerly but most locations have a west southwest. these water temps it is possible next week we're going to get a pretty strong northwest wind. it is possible point arena or point rays could go to 48 degrees on the bowie temp, which is extremely rare. i believe bodega bay bowie hit it last summer for the first time in ten years. san francisco bowie will also go down. so something to watch for next week. so all you know, all everybody talks about is how warm it is. not here. not for us, the fog is disappearing pretty fast here. i would expect that that the support for it has waned. still some down towards monterey and santa cruz, but that won't last too much longer. 50s on the temps a couple of 60s, but those are well inland, so 50s up in the mountains, if you're going up in the mountains, might get windy up there as well. sunday, monday. just keep that in mind. we are in for a pretty big change on sunday into monday and probably tuesday. a little warmer inland today. not that bad, but a big

wind gusts or a wind event. looks could could be possible as we go into sunday. monday and tuesday. you guys all right. >> thank you so much steve. all right. happening today in sausalito a group of rehabilitated brown pelicans will be released back into the wild. now, last month, the international bird rescue released the first group of rehabilitated brown pelicans into the wild. and today, more than 25 pelicans will be released at the base of the golden gate bridge at fort baker. the pelicans were found among hundreds starving since mid-april, scientists say the birds are having difficulty finding food because they can't reach it. the fish are either too deep or too far offshore for one week. until major league baseball shines a spotlight on birmingham, alabama, and the leagues. coming up, a conversation with the man who's led the charge to bring a big league game to rickwood field.

>> we can't lose this facility. >> there's a rich history at rickwood that dates back to its opening day in 1910. from 1924 to 1960, it was the home of the birmingham black barons of the leagues, and where giants hall of famer willie mays started his professional career. it's that history the mlb will honor with this game the hall of famers that have come through here, 182 of them. >> quite a few of them are leaguers that never made it to the big leagues, but they all had a time and place in history, and they had a time here. and we want to celebrate that with everyone. >> for watkins, a retired banker, rickwood is rooted deep in his childhood memories as a ten year old kid coming here with, friends to see baseball. >> i remember coming here and seeing reggie jackson. it always seemed like this was the biggest place in the world. >> when the mlb held its field of dreams game in iowa in 2021, watkins began lobbying the league to bring a game to rickwood. >> we have a baseball park where it's a real field of dreams because imagine willie mays, 17

years old, standing in our outfield, looking around and dreaming. maybe one day i can be in the big leagues. >> after years of talks and more than $5 million from the city of birmingham for renovations to bring the field up to mlb standards, rickwood and the magic city are ready to shine. >> 8100 is going to be our capacity that day, but judging by the phone calls and the emails and the text, we could have done, we could have sold 50,000 tickets. >> watkins hopes visitors to rickwood feel the gravity of the game and understand the ballpark's special place in baseball and u.s. history. >> you can look out there and see willie mays in your dreams. you can look out there and see satchel paige on the mound, or babe ruth or lou gehrig. all those greats came here and it's just a place where memories can come alive and yet we're tying the future in greg lee ktvu fox two news and greg will be bringing us live coverage from alabama. >> he'll be traveling there next week. you'll also be able to catch the game between the

little bit. not a lot i'm on i'm in the minority here. some it's going to be 90 degrees. i don't know about that. i went 80, so napa san ramon, menlo park. campbell. listen north wind kicks in, but so far i don't see that yet. it's mainly been westerly or southwest, so we'll go low 80s for these. now if you're far enough inland there will be some mid maybe a few upper 80s but 50s on the temps, although again up in lake county, mendocino county, it's just this time of year. it's just no problem warming up. but vacaville is only 63, so i mean, if they were going to be hot, they'd be 73 by now. we are running a little bit cooler on the temps, although san carlos is up by four, but most are down 1 to 4 with santa rosa at minus four compared to yesterday. at this time, today and tomorrow looks similar. system coming in there. you can see we'll probably enhance the fog bank a little bit tomorrow. the key though is going to be sunday, monday, tuesday we'll get a little bit warmer. friday not that much but we're dropping in now. it depends on where it ends up. i mean there are some projections that actually drop it in a little bit deeper than this due to kind of do this

action. so we'll see where it ends up. either way, it's going to be a wind producer as we head towards early next week. but today though, it's more about sunshine. if you have the fog, it's probably, starting to retreat pretty rapidly. so look for 60 70s and 80s. you guys all right, steve, thank you so much. >> another. we'll move to this. cal fires, launching a first of its kind program to make homes more fire resistant. it provides up to $40,000 for low income homeowners and high risk fire areas. this pilot program involves several counties, including lake shasta, siskiyou, el dorado, tuolumne, and san diego. the goal is to retrofit 2500 homes and create a template for other california communities. >> this program helps make sure that all californians have access to wildfire resiliency. a lot of our focus is on ember intrusion, so as embers pile up, it creates a higher btu and it can catch a home on fire almost from within or underneath. >> and cal fire says it will formally present a report to state lawmakers next month about the success of this fire safety
