rapidly. >> reporter: pg&e was supposed to have ten business days to write an action report explaining the decision and explaining why there were so many problems with the execution, but today the state ordered the ceo and staff to testify at an emergency meeting this friday. >> the situation has been unacceptable. >> reporter: after those comments last week, the californian public utilities president is demanding action from pg&e setting up requirements to address the problems that arose during the blackouts that affected customers in 35 counties. the utility must address why the website crashed due to high demand and and must coordinate better with governments and provide blackout maps and accelerate steps to turn the power back on and more. the pg&e president and ceo

declined by request for an interview today, but did address the criticism at a news conference on saturday. >> we have to deal with the risk and the systems that we have and one of the tools we have to decrease risks so significantly is turning off power. >> reporter: johnson said the utility has identified 50 incidents of tree limbs that could have caused a fire if pg&e had not turned off the power. >> with efficiency, they safely inspected 25,000 miles of line and restored service to our neighbors. >> reporter: our governor wrote i am disappointed in pg&e's decisions that led to this shutoff event. he is urging pg&e to provide effected customers an automatic

credit or rebate of $100 and small businesses of $250 funded by shareholders. >> they could not operate the system safely so it had to shut it down. >> reporter: the public policy expert tells me pg&e is an easy target, but should not be the only target. >> there was a failure and where you want that failure to reside within the company itself, with the regulators, with the legislator, there's enough guilt here perhaps to go all the way around. >> reporter: the emergency meeting will be held this friday. in a statement today johnson said he welcomes the feedback. we'll see on friday. let's move on. we are committed to building a better bay area and we're taking on issues that affect our way of

life. today we're hitting on three of them. >> a plan that would reshape the downtown of an east bay city while providing ldpe over a perf decades. >> t arguing the traffic can be brutal. san francisco was exploring limiting the traffic on market street and transforming the landscape. >> finding a fix for the homeless crisis feels at times like it's never ending. we're seeing neighborhoods taking matters into their own hands. >> we've seen reports of rocks being moved and logs being placed to keep the homeless from setting up camps. >> most recently it was in mission park. the rocks kept getting moved from the sidewalk to the street and back again. the department of public works came in and hauled them away. another neighborhood is trying barricades.

we are live from the neighborhood where people are taking matters into their own hands. >> reporter: this is where the wall used to be. come here with me into the alley. we found the same wall against this house. even though it's not up anymore, the concern in this community is very vivid. the alleyway, six feet and three inches wide, enough room, according to neighbors for this. >> man, i don't have nothing with you. >> reporter: fights between homeless and drug dealers. >> we've had violence occur there. we've had mental illness on mental illness violence occur there and it scares the neighbors. >> reporter: a neighbor got a city permit and placed the blkade to keep people out.

t >> did not agree with the blockade. that was a nuclear decision and that was the big issue. why board it up? >> reporter: the neighbor did not want to go on camera, but in a statement said this walkway has burdened the city resources for some time now. it requires multiple trips a week for power washing and over 100 calls were received for emergency services. after multiple days of blocking the path, the neighbors complained and the wall was removed. the city approved a gate to replace the wall. other business owners in the area have been affected by the crime. what do you want the city to do? >> the city has forgotten about this particular alley. we always complain about it, just to keep it nice and clean.

>> reporter: we did contact san francisco public works department, but today is a holiday so we haven't received an official statement. we know that these neighbors are going to meet on wednesday to speak about this alley. >> interesting. >> thank you. our coverage continues with two more issues where we're searching for solutions, traffic and housing. >> walnut creek is weighing a plan to give the downtown a makeover over a 30-year period. >> we have been digging into the details. with more people comes more traffic. >> reporter: san francisco has a big idea for market street, no more cars. how the city wants to make it safer for people not in cars. >> reporter: that's right. market street is san francisco's busiest corridor. supporters of the better market street project feel this plan will

it is a proposal to close off the area to private cars. >> i think it's a good rule. i really do. i think it would open up the feeling that we feel of like oh. >> reporter: this is a look at what the plan could look like. wider sidewalks and dedicated bike lanes. >> we have this year seen an uptick in the number of fatal collisions involving people walking and biking. >> reporter: private cars will no longer be able to drive on market street. they'll be redirected to mission from 7 to 1st.

ride sharing vehicles can only drop people off at cross streets. commercial vehicles will be allowed and taxis, which means less traffic and less competition. >> it's going to help us i think. >> reporter: the plan is to make market a more efficient place to stay, visit and travel. >> when i talk to folks about market street, there's nobody that says to me i enjoy the process of traveling down market street, whether they're walking or biking or taking transit or driving. >> reporter: the plan says private cars can still cross market. you can't turn on to market. the board of directors will vote on this plan tomorrow. live in san francisco. >> thanks very much. the city of walnut creek will approve a vision of what downtown will be like in 30 years' time. this plan includes housing and a lot of changes too. we have been digging into those plans and we're live in walnut

creek with a look ahead. >> reporter: hi, dan. these car dealerships behind me could be a thing of the past if walnut creek has its way. they want to go vertical with multi-story car dealership store rooms and garages to open up more land to put in more housing and more retail. the area north of walnut creek is being reimagined for the future. the city wants to condense car dealerships into an auto row and create art districts. the plan incorporates 191 acres north of civic drive and south of park side. this area would be condensed into an auto row. >> we're talking about consolidating our auto sales and service areas into a more

vertical environment where they have two-showrooms as opposed to using flat surface land for parking which is not a great use of land. >> reporter: the city hopes the land, now occupied by this honda dealership, would be converted to an open space for outdoor music events and the farmer's market. >> this would be an area where we would allow industrial artisan uses where people could come like manufacturing jewelry maker or that type of use. >> i don't have a problem with that at all. it helps my business and helps the area. >> reporter: 619 new housing units would be incorporated and high density hughesiity housing

bottom floor. trails would provide direct access to bart than the current streets allow. the city has already opened a dialogue with local dealerships here who they say are already talking to car manufacturers about the need for the urbanization for this relevapar town. >> thanks. really interesting. we want to hear your ideas. share them by joining our group on facebook. on the 50th anniversary of the occupation of alcatraz, there was a cannoo journey around the island. in 1969 native activists and students occupied the island for almost two years sparking the rights movement. after the ceremony, the group took part in an arts and music festival. san francisco police are looking for whoever vandalized

the customhristopher columbus statute. crews removed the paint that had been splattered over the statute. a message had been left on the base reading destroy all monuments and kill all culinizers. moving on, do you have your real id yet? >> a message coming from the dmv for those californians if you have yet to get one. the san francisco art gallery, where an expensive etching was snatched off this eas easel. door dash is going beyond delivery. what they're bringing to the bay area. we have a cooldown today and a warmup tomorrow and followed

working sunday when the etching disappeared from the front of the store. >> it is about $20,000 and it's quite important as far as the period of etchings. it's very well known. it's a beautiful piece. >> reporter: shown here, the framed piece is 20 by 26 inches created between 1966 and 1967. it was part of a larger collection of the work. it appears the suspect had an accomplice, a woman who was with him near the front door, but stayed outside. once he leaves with the etching, the man strolls down the sidewalk, a walk captured by several surveillance cameras along the way. >> the original etching would normally have been secured to this easel, but somehow the cable and lock were also unexpectedly missing.

it's not clear if the suspect came in earlier and cut the cable or was able to do it in the half minute he was inside the store. what are they going to do with it? >> i don't know. obviously it would have to be underground. everyone knows the edition number and it's a famous piece, so you would have to have some sketchy people to sell it to. >> reporter: contact the san francisco police with information. in less than a year a standard driver's license will no longer be valid to board a flight. californians will need a real id. the hard deadline to fly with a real id is october 1st, 2020. get in now to avoid lines and last minute changes to travel plans next year. >> for people who have a passport or government id, they have a good id. for the people that want a real id, we want to make sure they ty

come in now. >> earlier this year some californians needed to update their proof of residence, but that did not require a physical visit to the dmv. the airports will post reminders and information at check points throughout the airports. do you have any questions about real id? we have a list on our website. good luck getting an appointment. it's not easy. we'll move from real id to real good weather. >> that's undisputed. >> here is a look at doppler we have sunny skies and low clouds. most areas are two to three degrees cooler than this time yesterday. here is a look from central tower. san francisco is 58 degrees.

wednesday. both games tip o is the preseason so getting through healthy is the goal of every time this time of year. they will both be out tonight resting. curry will play. he'll rest wednesday. it will be a new warriors team now and as the season unfolds. >> we're not going to be as good as we've been the last few years. we're not going to win as many games. there's going to be more difficult bumps in the road during the season. nights where things don't go well. the flip side of that is we get to watch this team grow. this is going to be a new team and we're going to look much different in january than we do now and hopefully even more different in march and april. so i think it's a different process and it's an exciting one. >> the lakers' head coach told reporters today that james and davis will not play tonight.

davis sprained his right thumb on saturday. they are going t going t g cautious approach. the sharks are 2 and 0. the home crowd gave marlow a standing ovation. this was really cool. he clearly was emotional. he's back and the sharks are winning. that's no coincidence. >> i don't think it's an accident that we won the last two and he's been in the lineup. i think that's a piece for sure. he plays the right way. he does the right thing when he's out on the ice all the time and it's really helped to solidify our lineup. >> it's still flying. it's amazing how his body looks in shape. he can skate and he helps the
