the landfill. 650 tons goes into the blue recycle bins and 800 tons is put into the green bins. >> that's nearly 2500 tons of trash generated by san franciscans each and every day. some of it is ending up on the street. >> lauren martinez is in san francisco with more for us tonight. lauren? >> ama and kristen, supervisors ask different city agencies what they're doing to help alleviate this issue. they're hoping they can all get on the same page and adopt a citywide plan. >> you're not convinced that additional trash cans actually make the streets cleaner. >> right. it's got to be a balance. >> reporter: san francisco supervisors and the department of public works don't agree when it comes to how to approach one of the city's biggest problems, trash. >> from our perspective, the biggest issue is really bad behavior. we see lots of illegal dumping at cans. we see lots of pilfering through cans. >> supervisor matt heaney is leading the hearing at city hall

and disagrees with public works' current approach to remove public trash cans based on requests. >> they just do it based on complaints. and the result is they're putting out trash cans and pulling them away all over the place, and they may pull one away and the result of that is there isn't one for block after block after block. that's unreasonable. >> one solution being tested is a new automatic lock on private bins. this pilot program includes giving customers a key, a collection time window, and changing the times drivers work. >> we have switched our tenderloin drivers from servicing at night starting at 7:00 p.m. until morning time so the carts out on the street all night. >> i want to appreciate you all for being innovative for really trying solve this problem. >> now public works is working on a new design for city cans, and they're hoping that will become a public process later this summer. in san francisco, lauren martinez, abc7 news. >> all right, lauren.

what is the impetus? you got to think they must be thinking other cities are doing a better job with trash cans. that the case? >> supervisor heaney mentioned new york and how he saw trash cans there at every corner. sometimes he saw multiple trash cans on a block. so he said it can only help. back to you. >> all right. we'll see. lauren, thank you. so let's turn to safety. now it's another area where we are working to build a better bay area. >> the bart board of directors signed off on a pilot program that will put a team of people called ambassadors on a train to try to reassure passengers about their safety after dark. >> laura anthony has more on how this will actually work. laura? >> well, hi, ama. bart riders should begin seeing these ambassadors riding bart trains by this time next month. they will work in pairs. they will be on the trains armed only with radios, but ready to call police at a moment's notice. it's all part of a larger effort

to restore public confidence in the bart system. >> so will be visible to public. >> bart police will soon have ten new sets of eyes and ears. they'll come in the form of ambassadors, participant of a six-month pilot program designed to deal with specific issues regular riders see every day. >> that would be inappropriate behavior, safety and security, on and in the system, and biohazards. >> the ambassadors will be easy to spot on bart's unlike sworn officers who ride trains a half a dozen times per day, the ambassadors will ride the system full time. >> they cannot intervene in a fight. they also can't issue a citation. that's not their job.

their job is truly to greet you, see if there is a problem, radio in something and really be there to offer more comfort for our riders. >> the ambassador program had been stalled for the pat couple of years out of concern that the unarmed personnel might create more of a liability than a help. that hurdle was cleared when it was decided to pull the ambassadors from an existing pull of community service officers already trained by bart police. >> it's not a single solution. it's a big puzzle that we're working on regaining the trust and again trying to be a world class system. >> now bart staff will keep close track of how the ambassador pilot program is working. they will measure in terms of numbers, interactions, those sorts of things over the next several months. if they have success after the first six-month pilot program that. >> hope to find the funding to make it a permanent program. in orinda, laura anthony, abc7 news. >> this ambassador program, it's just one part of larger effort by bart to beef up safety. so what about the police force?

>> well, the police force is obviously the area that they would really like to beef up. in fact, they have 21 officers right now out in field training. they have another 19 in various police academies. they're hoping to have at least those who are field training out here working on the system within the next several months. certainly some time this year. >> all right. laura anthony reporting live for us tonight. thank you so much. more now out of that bart meeting. the board voted to award a $798 million contract to design and build a new train control system. the new system will allow bart to run trains closer to together and improve transbay capacity. this is expected to be the largest bart contract in decades. the current system 47 years old. right now bart is handing out $10 tickets on this antioch line to apologize for last night's delays between the concord and pleasant hill station. a man officials describe as unstable refused to get off the

facebook, that facebook is facilitating bad actors putting out disinformation, putting out divisiveness. it can actually jeopardize our election. >> facebook's position is people should be able to hear from those who wish to lead them, warts and all. and what they wish to say should be scrutinize and debated in public. facebook does plan to roll out new features to give the almost 2.5 billion users more control over political ads. the first one later this month can address how advertisers target them. blocking political ads will be available this summer. a local republican leader doesn't want what he calls left-leaning facebook employees filtering political ads. quote, these activists cannot be trusted to take an even handed approach in judging the accuracy of political hyperbole, says the chair of the santa clara county gop. it's not just political ads in the crosshairs. so are videos such as the one in which house leader nancy pelosi appeared to be slurring her words, a video that had been manipulated. >> employees of facebook have already spoken up. the public is speaking up, and we're going keep the pressure on

saying in a statement displacing residents without cause or justification is contrary to the way we do business, and our lawsuit is the first step in opposing the nicholson family partnership's outrageous demands. no word yet on those exact demands, but the partnership says mhc has been unwilling to collaborate to find a long-term solution for the tenants, taking the unfortunate position that it has no obligation whatsoever to its tenants or to us when the land leases expire. affordable housing advocates say time is of the essence. >> other mobile home parks have been threatened with closure. so it's been a period of great stress for tenants and for -- and for mobile home park owners. >> mayor sam liccardo issued a memo today urging the city to establish an exclusive mobile home parkland use designation in the general plan, which would require council approval before any landowner can redevelop a mobile home park. >> you have a legal fight brew right now.

it's been too long now, and we can't wait for saturday. meanwhile, vikings receiver adam thielen, he is also listed as questionable. did not practice today after somehow cutting his ankle in practice. and that was a wound that required stitches. thielen, as you saw him there, was just walking around in practice, not going through any drills. and he himself would not say if he is actually going to be able to play on saturday. >> you know, i'm just focused on today right now. we'll see how it goes. but like i said, i got a couple days. i'm going take one day at a time trying to do the best i can to be out there on saturday and try to help my teammates. >> you think he's going to find a way to play. the pac-12 just lost its most entertaining coach. mike lee leaving washington state for mississippi state in the sec, the master of the air raid offense. he went 5-5-47. he signed a one-year extension with wazzu in december, but

contracts mean almost nothing. tonight the san jose sharks will face without their captain leading scorer logan couture. probably six weeks after breaking his left ankle on tuesday night. this hatched against the st. louis blues. he says the injury will not require surgery. he was holding his knee. the force impact is on his ankle. couture had 14 goals and 22 assists. he was leading a team that really struggled to score. logan spoke today and said he is skft that the sharks will somehow find a way to step up in his absence. >> when a guy goes down, a guy that plays a lot of minutes, that gives more opportunity to other players, and we have guys that can handle it. guys that are going to step up and take on bigger roles and succeed. so it's disappointing as this is to be injured, i'm excited to watch the guys take on bigger

roles and be successful in them and continue to play the way we're playing. the san jose earthquakes used the 12th selection in the 2020 mls super draft to take stanford all american tanner bivon. he'll immediately placed on the roster in 99 matches with the cardinal. hey, we had fun today. the harlem globetrotters are going to be performing at chase center this weekend. today zeus leclerc and splash. he was up in the rafters at chase center, hitting that ridiculous shot. zeus and scooter christiansen joined us in studio on abc7 news at 4:00. >> we're playing seven games in the bay area. you can catch us at san jose, oakland arena, all of those. if you don't catch us this weekend at chase, catch us next weekend also playing and all over the bay area, go to harlemglobetrotters.com/bayarea. >> i'll tell you the one thing. michael finney, our consumer

reporter came in earlier, and he said you know what? as soon as i just see these guys in the studio, it just makes me smile. >> that's the coolest part about being a globetrotter. no matter we go, it takes them back to a happier time when they went with their parents or grandparents. i love the smile on people's face, man. it's amazing. >> they are fantastic. we take the podcast with them after we did the news segment. and we were just cracking up the whole time. >> i'm super excited. i think they have a star from china this year, right? first time ever, they do. we were trying to get him on. he had some visa issues. so they're hoping that he is going to be able to make it for this weekend. but he can do magical things with the ball. he spins the ball and almost defies gravity. they spend over 200 days per year on the road. so this is real work. and sometimes they play two games in one day. i asked him about lebron load management. he said there is no load management with the harlem globetrotters. we play two games a night. >> you can tell they love it. >> and then they have the ladies

too. love it. they're awesome. >> they are. >> thanks, larry. >> all right. be sure to join us tonight for abc7 news at 11:00. >> an east bay mother bruised and battered after she says she was attacked by three teenagers at this high school who were bullying her own daughter. i'm cornell bernard. we'll talk to the family tonight at 11:00. and rescued from a snowy utah canyon. hear how a peanut butter and jelly sandwich helped this fresno teen find the will to survive. and coming up tonight on abc7 news 8:00," jeopardy!" the greatest of all time that continues followed by "truth & lies: the jeffrey epstein story." and then don't miss abc7 news at 11:00. >> and stick around for jimmy kimmel live at 11:35. i am so excited for the third night of g.o.a.t. on "jeopardy!." intense. >> james that is so much brainpower. >> ken jennings. >> the first night. that's going to do it for us. thanks for joining us.

to deal with the problem.icians but they wouldn't. so we took it to the voters and forced big tobacco to pay its share of healthcare costs. we fought oil companies for new clean air laws and closed a billion dollar corporate tax loophole to fund public schools. by going directly to the people we got results. that's not something you see a lot of from washington these days. i'm tom steyer and i approve this message. let's make change happen.
