resignation we have to think about. last month, the assistant general manager in charge of relations with union workers resigned. chief rojas of the police announced his resignation and now grace crunikan meaning an almost complete management at bart. >> today i'm announcing my plans to retire from bart and to begin the next chapter of my life. >> reporter: she has seen bart through highs like the passage of measure rr, a $3.5 billion bond measure to pay for improvements at bart stations, but also lows like rampant drug use in stations and the stabbing death of nia wilson last year. deborah allen, who represents cal nut creek, calls her a strong leader. >> in the two years plus that i worked with her, is probably the strongest woman leader that i have ever worked around.

>> reporter: allen said she had no idea the retirement was copping, but said crunican had clashed with a trio of board members who didn't like her idea of beefing up law enforcement in the stations. steve glaser, a long-time bart critic says the resignation of chief rose roe hjas could have clue. >> it's not a surprise to see literally every top manager at bart saying goodbye. >> whether this was one big disagreement that led to her resignation, or a buildup of straws that finally broke the camel's back, we don't know yet and may not know for a while. what we do know for certain is chief rojas of the bart police will retire in may, and crunican will retire in july. eric thomas, abc7 news. >> thank you. and abc7 news devoted a week to covering bart earlier this year as part of our commitment to building a better bay area. we rode trains all day long, visiting every station. we talked to riders and to the people in charge of making bart

better to see what changes are coming. you can see all the stories on our website, abc7news.com. [ closing bell ] to the numbers now. a mixed day on the market. the dow lost 14 points while the nasdaq went down by nearly 17. stock and lyft managed to eek out a wind, rebounding slightly from yesterday's low. the san francisco ride sharing company went public ten days ago with an ipo price of $72. and soon lyft will face the same competition in the market that it does on the roads. today uber released its long-awaited ipo filing. abc7 news anchor kristen sze has more on what the san francisco-based company's finances tell us. >> the documents are the most detailed view of the company's finances since its launch ten years ago. they revealed growth, but also huge losses. uber's revenue was $11.3 billion last year, up 42% from 2017. but the company lost $1.8 billion last year and warns it may never make a profit.

>> lyft isn't profitable. facebook wasn't profitable. neither was twitter. so this seems to be kind of a trend in silicon valley. >> uber was started right here in san francisco, and the ipo filing shows it's heavily dependent on the city and four other cities, san francisco, los angeles, new york, london, and sao paulo, brazil are responsible for nearly a quarter of uber's books. the bigwigs are making big money. the top five executives were paid $143 million in total compensation last year. ceo dara wasn't even the highest paid. that goes to the chief operating officer who received more than $47 million in total compensation. now when uber goes public, it wants to reward some of its drivers too. drivers who are in good standing will get between 100 and $10,000 for completing between 2500 and 25,000 lifetime trips. uber is setting aside some of

its stock for drivers to buy with that money. >> uber is the highest valued private company in the world. so anyone that's interested in money will be interested in that. i'm not sure if the investors think this will be a safe bet. that's for the market to see. >> kristen sze, abc7 news. >> as all of this is happening, hundreds of san francisco city workers and housing rights activists are protesting uber and other app-based corporations. sky 7 was over city hall for the protest organizers called disrupt inequality. protesters condemned income inequality and unfair treatment of workers. they say these companies should pay their fair share toward public services. a report requested by governor newsom suggests that at some point pg&e customers will be stuck paying higher rates if california wildfires continue to ravage the state. abc7 news reporter lyanne melendez is in the newsroom with a closer look. lyanne? what we can say is that the

dialogue has started. nothing has been proposed, but a thoroughly analysis again requested by the governor suggests that a hike of 30, 40, or even 50% is possible. a memo sent to the governor warns future wildfires would be of grave concern to pg&e, forcing it to look else to cover its debt. >> if we have repeated fires, we're going get to a point very quickly where pg&e or the other utilities, they're not going to be able to borrow their way out of these liabilities. >> that's stephen weissmann, an energy and environmental attorney who wrote an analysis for the governor's office. many customers say sticking them with the hike doesn't feel right given the mistakes made by pg&e. >> i don't need to raise my personal bill to take care of something that they should have already accounted for inside of their own maintenance. >> rate payers investment should go into stopping fires,

preventing them from starting in the first place instead of paying for damage after the fact. >> pg&e faces an estimated $30 billion in potential liabilities related to the 2017 and 2018 northern california wildfires. part of the reason why psg&e stock's has fallen is because of that uncertainty regarding future wildfires. pg&e continues to say it is committed to helping people in areas affected by the fires. ironically, higher energy rates could affect clean energy initiatives. companies who make electric cars, for example, could potentially slow down operations because of these higher rates and forced outages. one thing seems clear. pg&e's woes are certain to pop up in california's economy. >> it's going to come from the taxpayers or the rate payers, or it's going to come in the form of insurance premiums. >> and there is a proposed bill

in sacramento to create a wildfire insurance pool. pg&e would put money into this pool that would help supplement their own insurance coverage. in the newsroom, lyanne melendez, abc7 news. >> lyanne thank you, pg&e's bankruptcy, its wildfire liability, its lingering issues from the san bruno explosion are all issues that raise question, and we are working on answering them. we have dedicated a page of our website to all of our pg&e stories. jst go to abc7news.com. new at 6:00 tonight, san jose police arrested a woman they believed was involved in a fatal hit-and-run crash. delilah ray was bookedinto santa clara jail this afternoon. police say that about 5:40 in the morning, she hit a pedestrian at the intersection of neiman boulevard and laddie way in east soench. the driver got out of her car but walked up to the victim on

>> always pray for the best. so i knew he was going to be okay. >> navaun can now sit in a wheelchair, and he shows signs of improvement every day, although he still can't talk. >> every day he is doing something different. so my son is going to be back soon. might not be how he was, but he is going to be back. >> he is moving his foot now. he is kicking pillows. he is reaching for his feeding tube and his wraps with both hands. he is clutching things in his hands. and he is moving his head, following you with his eyes. >> navaun shot himself after he found a gun on a bed at the home of his mother's boyfriend. >> did you have any idea that there was something under a pillow that might hurt your son? >> not at all. if i knew, my son wouldn't have even been in that house. >> reporter: navaun's father, thait than price, remains in prison and they continue to lobby to allow him to visit the boy in person. >> my only concern is his father at least gets the chance to hold

his son and comfort his son and be by his son's bedside. >> while navaun's family is encouraged by his progress at the hospital, they're also well aware that his future is uncertain. >> i know it ain't going to be a regular life now. i just want him to live his life, grow up, be something, whatever he want to be. >> you're getting stronger and stronger every day. it's okay. >> reporter: in oakland, laura anthony, abc7 news. >> sweet boy. tough to watch. >> yeah. abc7 news has made a commitment to building a better bay area. it means we look for ways to make this a better place to live for all of us. >> tonight things are looking up for downtown development plans in santa rosa as the city that was hardest hit by the north bay wildfires works to get back what it lost. what's for dinner? there aren't as many options in san francisco as restaurants are closing. we spent today trying to find out why. a live report is next. i'm spencer christian. a wind advisory is in effect for parts of the bay area, and i'll show you how strong the g

in the past few weeks, several san francisco stalwarts have closed or are on their way out. chef tracy dejardin announced it her restaurant will close after 21 years of award winning food. blowfish sushi locked up. their concept was actually dead. and after 38 years, new orleans inspired elite cafe on fillmore street announced that they're closing after easter brunch and bar sfr. on east street, white paper now wraps the windows instead of their sandwiches. an unsettling sight for the lunchtime symphony crowd. >> we've been coming for years. i thought oh, that's too bad. it kind of cut out a quick place to get in and out and have a nice little lunch. >> i would have paid anything for some of the sandwiches we had there. >> but the owner who owns it says most of his customers felt

otherwise. >> we tried to raise prices a little, we lost 20% of our business. people are very used to what we were doing. and i was happy with what we were doing. we couldn't change it without affecting the quality. >> reporter: russell shapiro says he was losing money because the business, which was brisk, still didn't make up for the fair living wage he wanted to pay his employees. so after 20 years, he closed this week. >> we just couldn't make the numbers work. and do right by the people who work here and satisfy our customers. >> so bill tells me that he was able to offer either severance or a new job at one of his other restaurants to all of his cafe employees. he does say he is working on a new concept for the space that will hopefully suit customers' needs as well as his bottom line. i'm kate larsen, abc7 news. >> all right, kate, thank you. a pothole at an intersecting section of runway caused delays and cancellations at sfo today. let's take a live look at the

building. officials say steel plates that will reinforce the beams have arrived and will soon be bolted into place. the transit center shut down almost two days ago, as you can see, we are keeping track. repairs are expected to be done in june, but a date to reopen the center, that has not yet been set. it's time to check on our forecast, because we saw how windy it still was at the airport. >> spencer christian standing by with how windy indeed. >> in just the last few minutes, there have been gusts at sfo from 38 to 41, 42 miles per hour. it's windy there and windy all around the bay area. here is a look at live doppler 7. we have a few clouds around, high thin clouds mainly. we'll see the clouds moving out of the area overnight. right now, though, we have a wind advisory still in effect until 8:00 this evening, mainly for the coastal areas or areas near the coast. we can expect gusts up to or perhaps even above 45 miles per hour at times. and that raises the possibility of downed tree branches and power lines. moving along, taking a look at

current wind gusts, 40 miles per hour here in san francisco. 38 at half moon bay, and all around the area, you can see gusts from 25 to 35 miles per hour generally, and occasionally higher. this is the view from atop mount tam where you can see how windy it is. 55 degrees here in san francisco. 62 across the bay in oakland. 58 in mountain view. upper 50s also at san jose and morgan hill. and 56 at half moon bay. this is the view from sutro tower looking over the city. 60 degrees in santa rosa right now. upper 60s at fairfield and vacaville. low to mid-60s at concord and livermore. and from emeryville, we're looking at a bright blue western sky, and these are our forecast features. gusty wind continues tonight, especially near the coast. a warming trend will be with us the next two days, friday and saturday. but and we'll have a dry weekend. but i should say clouds will start to increase on sunday, and there is a chancofhowers on monday on we go t low tonight, under mainly clear skies and breezy conditions. look for lows in the inland

5-1 oakland. and then morales follows up with his first homer as an a. that made it 6-1. you just feel bad for the orioles. khris davis really struggling at the plate. he was the winning run in the eighth before striking out. get this, hit list in his last 61 at bats. the a's take three out of four. they win it 8-5. the kings with a surprising shake-up, firing head coach dave joerger after their best season in 13 years. general manager vlade divac said he made the move to take the team to the next level. the kings have 31 wins this season but failed to make the play-off in yaeger's three years as head coach. and the warriors/clippers open their play-off series saturday on abc7. it will be followed by after the game with larry beil, carrie keating and mindi bach. came four will also be here on the big seven on sunday, april 21st. the warriors are going for their third title in a row and fourth
