minutes, but now there's a plan in the works bart's second transit bay crossing, but it's going to alleviate crowding on the bart system in the core. the first conceptual renderings are now online to see connecting the southern part of san francisco through alameda into oakland. it's part of a massive project called link 21, which will allow bart and amtrak's capital corridor and regional rail partners to connect travelers all across northern california transit leaders. explain. what's in the 29 billion. proposal said to be finished by 2040. it's going to include two different types of rail technology. this is a proposal to build a rail crossing between oakland and san francisco. it would be a second crossing for bart. we're exploring possibly stopping at new stations in oakland, possibly an alameda that don't exist today. it'll take two decades to build

but student ian silvermore who commutes from livermore into the city. every day says it's worth the wait. it makes the commute a lot faster a lot easier. i don't have to worry about traffic in transit leaders. say bart's second. transbay crossing will make service faster more frequent and more reliable. they're exploring a variety of options and they say public outreach begins next month live in the newsroom suzanne fawn abc 7 news susan some transit leaders. say the new trends bay rail crossing will be really a game changer explain why that is all right. now the translator that we have includes bart as well as the bay bridge buses and ferry service, but it is considered one the most congested transit routes in the us. what should be a 15-minute trip some say often takes an hour longer because of traffic or transition. so this new transbay rail crossing according to advocates will help relieve a lot of pressure and being an important alternative for communities. yeah, sounds like it. all right. thank you bart recently celebrated 50 years for a look back at this piece of bay area history. you can stream the entire bart

it's been several weeks since san francisco began cracking down on street vendors requiring them to have a permit to sell at the 24th street bart plaza city officials. say the program is working and what we saw today seems to confirm that except that as abc 7 news reporter liam melendez witness. it's the so-called backpack peddling that is proving hard to stop leanne. that's right. so we went we saw and the program i have to say is having some success. but it's those backpacks who shoplift and almost immediately try to sell the items on the street. they and those who buy the stuff and try to resell them continue to break the law and continue to be a challenge to law enforcement. the corner of 24th admissions streets has always been bustling with people selling goods after the city demanded permits. the sidewalks now seem less crowded to date the city has issued 49 permits in almost all

cases. the city has waived the $430 fee. so you got a permit vendors like jose escalante were more than happy to show us their permit. a lot of folks are very happy that finally, you know, the city is doing something to restore some sort of, you know order and systems so that it's not what it has been it's been off but as we witness its nearly impossible to make everyone comply. it's the so-called backpack peddlers that continue to break the law rafael gutierrez told me he sees it every day watch the guy with the white beanie as he tries to sell several pants with the tags on are you right there still walk around selling pants. he just told from ross. yeah. it's an ongoing situation every day. so we decided to approach him. we're from the news. could i ask you what you're trying to do with those pants? why me? yeah, i'm selling these bands. okay. did you get them from any store?

i'm not gonna do that even though it's here saying court, but you know how it goes in san francisco. this is a black market one by one they avoided interacting with us or even showing us any kind of bill of sale or even a permits like yeah. you got a badge. no, i don't know right there's no way you can stop people who are just coming in and getting out but we've seen a big difference. we're more people are staying out. it's not as many people coming there because we do have street inspectors and police officers there monitoring the situation much more closely vendors who have had permits for years say they just want to fear way to earn a living. so technically the person out there selling on the street can pack up and quickly leave that is clearly spelled out in the

legislation and the board of supervisors wanted that. so you will never really see that surprise raid and they did that on purpose to give people a chance to get permits or force them to leave the area and they really didn't want to talk to you leanna. has anybody been issued to notice of violation? are one person okay? this week was issued a warning because they did not pick up their goods and leave again. they are trying to give people a chance but if that person who was issued that notice of violation comes back and doesn't have a bill of sale. we doubt that. they will show up with a bill of sale. the city says they'll confiscate their stuff. all right, leanne. thank you so much. well coming up next only on abc 7 news, they sold tickets and put on a show, but they didn't get the money turns out this bay area nonprofit isn't the only one waiting to get paid plus. bank the downtown is going to come back and be the way that it

yeah. it's a new season indeed and a season when hurricanes tend to pee hurricane fiona ama and dan is coming very close to bermuda. it is expected to pass very close to it. it is a major category for hurricane packing winds of 130 miles an hour gusts to 160 now on this track. it's going to come very close to bermuda passing just west of bermuda big waves are already battering the area. it's still a category 3 over the atlantic and then the canadian atlantic will be right under the gun with strong winds heavy rains. they're going to be seeing some big waves there even though it weakens to a depression a recent rain didn't do anything for our drought statewide. no change. this is the latest from the drought monitor no change here in the bay area. we're still in a severe to extreme drought live doppler 7 not showing you any rain tomorrow afternoon warm up continues low 90s inland 70s coast side and the accuweather seven day forecast showing you the hottest day. we'll be this weekend with 90s inland low to mid 70s coast side

well above average for the first weekend of fall amma and dan. good. all right, sandia. thank you. all right, tommy. you're when there are so many different sports to cover larry. it's the best time of year everything coming at once world champion warriors getting set to open training camp steph curry coming off a finals mvp performance. how many more years will we see peak curry that's ne

family is just very important. she's my sister and we depend on each other a lot. she's the rock of the family. she's the person who holds everything together. it's a battle, you know. i'm going to be there. keytruda and chemotherapy meant treating my cancer with two different types of medicine. in a clinical trial, keytruda and chemotherapy was proven to help people live longer than chemotherapy alone. keytruda is used to treat more patients with advanced lung cancer than any other immunotherapy. keytruda may be used with certain chemotherapies as your first treatment if you have advanced nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer and you do not have an abnormal “egfr” or “alk” gene. keytruda helps your immune system fight cancer, but can also cause your immune system to attack healthy parts of your body. this can happen during or after treatment and may be severe and lead to death. see your doctor right away if you have cough, shortness of breath,

chest pain, diarrhea, severe stomach pain or tenderness, severe nausea or vomiting, headache, light sensitivity, eye problems, irregular heartbeat, extreme tiredness, constipation, dizziness or fainting, changes in appetite, thirst, or urine, confusion or memory problems, muscle pain or weakness, fever, rash, itching, or flushing. these are not all the possible side effects. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions including immune system problems, or if you've had an organ transplant, had or plan to have a stem cell transplant or have had radiation to your chest area or a nervous system condition. it feels good to be here for them. living longer is possible. it's tru. keytruda from merck. ask your doctor about keytruda.

ask your doctor with larry beale good evening, the warriors back in actionable hold their first practice of the new season on saturday. then they're jetting off to japan for a couple of preseason games next week as they come off their fourth title in eight years the warriors and i look to run it back with a similar challenge last year. you got the old heads the veterans led by steph curry along with the youngsters kamingo moody wiseman clay thompson. he'll be ready to go from day one no more half the season rehabbing as always if this team stays healthy, they'll be one of the best in the league curry at age 34 seems to be getting

better and better. i think of steve nash a lot when i think if i watched steve in phoenix play at a really high level till 40 john stockton did the same thing his ability to keep himself at such a high level. it's not an accident. he's both kind of gifted naturally. but also totally committed and i fully expect him to have a lot more great years. asama was saying everything's happening at the same time the san jose sharks open training camp today. they are headed to europe in nine days. they'll open the season with two games in prague new coaching staff new faces new system after winning only 32 of 82 games last year the captain logan coach who were putting it simply when

asked what it would take for the sharks to make the playoffs. win more than we did last year. you got to have that drive individually to improve and get better no matter if it's your first year, you're 15th or 16th year. you gotta want to help the team and improve every day and i think guys in here do it and we'll give ourselves a chance. the 49ers at denver on sunday night sounds like tight end george kittle is getting closer and closer to his seasoned debut trying to come back from the groin injury. that would be great for jules is happy one. nothing giants in the sixth

might give strumsky. his second home of the series 14th of the year aloha to nothing giants another bullpen game and the giants pitched a shot out little help from brandon crawford. look at this play here play of the year candidates 35 years old kind of doing the superman to dive out there. rockies challenge the call, but out was upheld giants with a rare four-game sweep in colorado three-nothing your final. hayes and mariners, so we're grooving matinee at the coliseum in pregame stephen vote announced he was retiring at the end of the season so a couple weeks bases loading the third drives everybody into tie the game notching just the third triple or twelfth triple of his career the dugout is is loving it and vote is that is for you. he's built a 5-3 lead then seattle scored sixth grade runs adam frazier to run double to give them the lead for good and the gays fall by a final of nine five one other warriors note. the team is waiting to see if andre iguodala has decided whether he's going to retire or not. there was expected that he would

and helps prevent flare-ups. breztri won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. it is not for asthma. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking it. don't take breztri more than prescribed. breztri may increase your risk of thrush, pneumonia, and osteoporosis. call your doctor if worsened breathing, chest pain, mouth or tongue swelling, problems urinating, vision changes, or eye pain occur. if you have copd ask your doctor about breztri. life is busy. so, come to shell and get three things done at once. first, fill up with shell v-power nitro+ to help keep your engine running like new. nice! then save up with the fuel rewards program and never pay full price for gas again. oh wow! and, finally, snack up to save even more at the pump. that's great! make the most of the stop you need to make with shell. wait! there's three of me? awesome!
