bill would do. reporter big yellow signs now mark two locations along san francisco's lombard street earlier this month. >> a middle aged man and an elderly woman were killed by drivers in two separate incidents within the span of just ten days. >> people drive in countries all over the world, but, but the u.s. is an outlier in terms of the rate of death and serious injury on our roads. >> state senator scott wiener has for years pushed legislators in sacramento to enact new laws, making streets more pedestrian friendly. on friday, he held a news conference to urge governor gavin newsom to sign a bill that would require new cars sold after the year 2030 to have technology installed in them that would alert drivers if they were going ten miles or more over the speed limit, a measure that jody medeiros of walk san francisco says would save lives. >> we don't want another person to never come home, never be at the dinner table, never get to go to their kid's soccer game or their granddaughter's wedding. >> during friday's event, wiener also taking time to celebrate

newsom signing into law a second bill earlier in the morning. the bill will improve infrastructure on state routes around california. but some of those improvements could be as simple as installing a crosswalk on roads that need them. others would be more intricate, with wiener saying whatever improvements are made depending on each individual road, it could be just traffic calming measures to try to slow down traffic. >> it could be shortening, crossing distances. >> wiener says he knows the bills won't stop every death from happening. but with 4000 traffic related fatalities occurring every year around the state, he believes something needs to change. >> those 4000 deaths do not include all the people who now have brain damage, who are quadriplegics who have lost a leg. >> governor newsom has until monday to decide whether or not to sign the other bill in san francisco. tim jonze, abc seven news. >> a small win for california's reparations effort. as governor, newsom signed a bill into law formally apologizing for the state's role in slavery and

decades of anti-black policies. the legislation was part of a package of reparations bills introduced this year, but was the only one that passed this cycle. advocates for reparations say the apology doesn't go far enough. >> it feels somewhat like a slap in the face for the governor to sign this apology bill. the day after he vetoed one of the bills, specifically, sb 1050, that would have provided restitution and compensation for black americans who had their property taken by the state of california. >> lawmakers say they'll try to bring the other reparations bills back next legislative session. watch the abc7 originals documentary. california's case for reparations. it dives into the groundbreaking work of the reparations task force, examining bills that came out of it. it's now streaming on demand on the abc seven bay area app. >> barely 24 hours after the final oakland a's home game, what's next for that storied stadium? the oakland roots soccer team will play at the coliseum in 2025, but what comes next really falls on the

think about it. if we could create up to 20,000 jobs at that site, you're talking about a life changing scenario for that entire area. >> bobbitt says this will be a ten year long project. the oakland arena will stay. planning for the rest of the site will take another year and a half, 3 to 5 years before they break ground on early stages of the project. the coliseum specific plan is already in place, which bobbitt says means they won't be delays due to environmental reviews and the like. >> we plan on having this development move very quickly because the region needs it. >> bobby says they're generating interest from all major league sports. he points to the nfl and la as examples of what can happen in oakland. >> i didn't ever think i'd see 20 years with los angeles without a team, but i did, and now they have two. >> how can you bring in more revenue? uh- stadiums are often the centerpiece of these relocations, so there's a lot of questions for a local group in terms of how would you attract a

new team here? >> matthew atencio is co-director for the center of sports and social justice at cal state east bay. he says oakland is a strong sports market, but points to tough competition from cities like seattle for an expansion team. and though the coliseum is available, it's in need of massive upgrades. he believes this could be an opportunity to build something from the ground up instead of another billionaire parachuting a team into oakland, a team that's maybe more community based. >> a bit more entrenched in the voice of the people here. in many ways, that's maybe the future of pro sports. >> alameda county still has to sign off on one more document, which bobbitt says will happen by the end of the year. in oakland, anser hassan, abc seven news. >> the a's final home stand helped bart hit post pandemic ridership records this week. three days in a row, the agency saw more than 200,000 riders on tuesday, wednesday and thursday, thanks to fans heading to the

coliseum. there were nearly 225,000 trips on bart yesterday. that's a post pandemic record. still, that's about 53% of pre-pandemic weekday averages, so they're still, well behind. and despite all the emotion yesterday, a's fans were quite well behaved in the main. oakland police say only four arrests were made, all for public intoxication. two fans were ejected for running onto the field. then there were those who tried taking home a coliseum souvenir, and we are aware that there were some notable attempts of vandalism at the coliseum. >> they were considered very minor and there was no known actual merchandise that left the building due to good security. >> police say there were no injuries to anyone during the final game. >> a 16 year old is recovering after being stabbed today at south san francisco high school. the teen was taken to a nearby trauma center for treatment for non-life threatening injuries. abc seven news spoke with a student who didn't see the stabbing itself, but who

here have happened inside apartments or homes. this is lithium ion batteries. it happened in 30s. that's what the owner of this san francisco home said off camera about the fire that started on thursday inside his garage. the culprit? his leaf blower with a lithium ion battery that was charging the battery, becomes so hot, so quickly it releases the poisonous gas. in this case, no injuries were reported, but this is an example of a growing number of fires traced back to these batteries. >> over the last four years, the san francisco fire department has seen a significant increase in the number of lithium ion battery fires due to these devices. >> he looked at the data going back all the way to 2017. that year, there were two fire incidents reported from rechargeable batteries that went up to 15 incidents in 2021, and a person died in one of these incidents in 2022. so far, there have been 15 fires caused by these batteries. this year, the fire department projects at

least five more by the end of the year, when the batteries are damaged, they can charge in improperly and cause an explosive fire. the owner of warm planet bikes recommends for people to check their batteries are ul certified. >> they've been designed and tested to be sure that they don't explode. >> some of these batteries and chargers are expensive, leading to some people buying knockoff brands. >> they're just being pumped out in small factories all over asia and imported as fast as they can. there's a gold rush going on and they don't care about safety. >> in san francisco earlier this year, the board of supervisors voted to create safety standards for some devices powered by these batteries. but those in this industry want higher intervention. >> what we need to do is prevent the importation of nonstandard and substandard electrical systems. >> here's what the fire department recommends you do if the battery starts to bulge or change colors, or you notice that the scooter, the bike, the wheelchair, the device has an

odor to it, or a discoloration to it, you need to not charge it and notify the manufacturer immediately. the san francisco fire department recommends to only use the original charging cables and avoid leaving batteries unattended for long periods of time. also, setting a timer on your phone to disconnect the batteries. once fully charged. all this can make a difference. louis pena abc seven news. good information. >> thank you louis. coming up, the latest on hurricane helene with homes destroyed and lives lost, the devastation is historic. >> i'm meteorologist sandhya patel. >> i'll have the very latest on that historic storm. plus, a look at our heat that's temporarily

whole nation? >> while the u.s. does have the most powerful x ray laser with lcls in menlo park, this upgrade makes sure we stay on top the rest of the world is paying attention to this and building similar systems in germany and china. >> in japan, in south korea. and so we want to keep ahead. this is an exciting field to be in. >> the high energy upgrade is projected to be finished by 2030. experiments could start by 2027. in menlo park, zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> a two week hearing on the implosion of the titan submersible is now over, but it could be months before the coast guard makes a final report. today we learned of a shudder felt by the crew on the ocean gate support ship. at the moment it lost contact with the titan. a coast guard captain testified that information was never shared, and that knowing could have had a drastic impact on the search efforts. a former ocean gate employee also testified about comments made by ocean gate ceo mr. mccoy. >> is that a direct quote? >> he said i would buy a

congressman and make basically the problems would go away at that point in time and that that is directed, that will stand in my mind for the rest of time. >> the coast guard will now analyze the evidence and issue its recommendations at a later date. the titan sub imploded last summer on its way to the titanic, killing all five people on board, including oceangate ceo. >> all right, let's turn now to the weather forecast. of course, we've been following the terrible hurricane on the east coast and our weekend weather here. >> yeah, sandhya has it all for us tonight. sandhya. yeah. ama and dan. >> we're going to change things up for the weekend. if it was too hot for you today, take a look at this live view window to the world from our skystar camera. this is at fisherman's wharf. on top of that skystar wheel that you see moving. and it's just a sea of blue. talk about breathtaking view there. you will be seeing that view changing. fog is going to roll back into the picture. but before we get to that, let's talk about the heat. got up to 97 degrees in livermore today, 94 in santa rosa, 96 in concord,

amount to an environmental smoking gun. documents that detail dumping by the former stauffer chemical company, later acquired by zeneca. the site along the richmond shoreline has been the focus of cleanup efforts for decades, but now invoices obtained by the california department of toxic substances and state water boards suggest some dangerous materials may have actually wound up miles away from richmond. >> they had been dumping for 50 years into the shoreline, so they were looking for other places to continue to dump. >> one apparent site, the former berkeley municipal dump, pictured in a recent public presentation by city officials. the dump was also located on the shore of san francisco bay, next to the berkeley marina. finally closed in the 1980s, it was later filled in to create what is now cesar chavez park. the question today, how much industrial waste did stauffer chemical actually dump at the

site? and did any of it contain unsafe radiation? while the documents provide clues, some are concerned they may not tell the whole story. >> so we don't have a lot of confidence that this is an accurate depiction of the quantity of material that was taken. it may be a hint about the types of materials that were dumped there. >> to gauge the risk, berkeley is teaming up with the university of california to launch a high tech aerial surve. pilots will fly over the park using a drone equipped with a sensitive spectrometer, able to detect radiation. >> we feel like they've got a good technology they're leveraging, but we also got a plan to validate the results. and yeah, this would be phenomenal. >> the survey is scheduled to last most of the week. different sections of the park will be closed off as they're being surveyed. several park users told us the inconvenience seems worth it if they want to use the

spectrometry and the drone to check the levels here, and then if that could be ameliorated as appropriate, then that would be wonderful. activists like sherry padgett also welcome the survey, but also warn there could be significant detective work ahead. >> and it's, g.p.s. coordinate coordinates. so you know exactly where you're getting a higher level than others. and i. yes, it is reassuring on the surface level. >> the city says park safety is the first concern, but in a broad sense, the survey could also help document the potential effects of a toxic legacy that stretches for miles along the east bay shoreline. a ghost from the bay area's industrial past, buried half a century ago. the records show that industrial waste was also sent to several other sites, including the former albany dump. officials say the work at chavez is just precautionary, but the results will be made available to

regulators within 90 days. >> coming up next, a message through movement is not just about the dance, it's also about the music

>> i feel like it's less me just deciding everything, but also like through the music. it's almost like it's within me and then it's guiding my movement and it guides like where i hold how i play, how i interact with her along with the premiere of the work set to the music of alice coltrane, the fall season will also feature king's latest work for the san francisco symphony, set to ravel's mother goose. >> a combination king is confident will leave audiences in awe. >> when you see that audience, what do you hope they take away from this production? what do you hope they walk away with in their hearts when they leave their seats? >> well, i think you just said it. it's aimed towards the heart and the mind and so if a hand is someplace, it's connecting with the constellation. it's going on forever and ever. and so that kind of largeness is something that is mental. but you can see on stage you can see the lyons

ballet fall season on stage through sunday at the yerba buena center for the arts in san francisco. >> i'm julian glover, abc seven news. >> such a wonderful company. check that out. well, today's noticeably warm weather will give way to a milder weekend.

guys are dropping left

even with statins and a healthy diet... listen to your heart. talk to your doctor about repatha. repatha plus a statin lowers ldl-c (bad cholesterol) by 63%, and drops the risk of having a heart attack. do not take repatha if you are allergic to it. repatha can cause serious allergic reactions. signs include trouble breathing or swallowing or swelling of the face. most common side effects include runny nose, sore throat, common cold symptoms, flu or flu-like symptoms, back pain, high blood sugar, and redness, pain, or bruising at the injection site. talk to your doctor about repatha.

will be ready to get back on the field. some good news. tight end george kittle, a full participant in practice, but offensive tackle trent williams, he didn't practice at all because of an illness along with a toe injury. meanwhile brock purdy has his back. he says it's fine. niners looking to bounce back from a bad loss to the rams last week. they'll host the patriots on sunday. both teams coming in at one and two. purdy knows most games are decided by just a handful of plays. you cannot take anything for granted. >> i think it just gives us, you know, a reality check of every game matters, every play matters, every drive matters. and you can't take it for granted because, you know, especially at the end, you know,

trying to get into the playoffs and everything, you wish you could have had those couple plays back to win that game, to then have that game towards the end. all of it matters and it ties together. so, but more than anything, we have a standard here, and that's what we're focused on every single day. >> the warriors begin training camp next week, and today they officially named jerry stackhouse and terry stotts as assistant coaches. stotts spent 13 years as the head coach of the portland trail blazers. this is actually his second stint with the dubs. stotts was on mike montgomery's staff way back in 2004. now, stackhouse was spectacular as a player, stacked to the rack early and often, spent the past few years as the head coach at vanderbilt university and the dubs. no missing the playoffs again is just not acceptable. >> we're probably as impatient as a franchise as you can be right now, given our time horizon and all that, but there's a fine line between impatience and undisciplined and i think, feel good about the discipline that we held this summer and the roster we built and the growth from it that

we're going to have. and so we're in a good spot heading this year. and i know everybody's always looking for big headline breaking news and all that. but, i really like this team. >> i'm not sure if this is big headline breaking news. probably safest bet you could ever make the wnba rookie of the year is caitlin clark. of course, of the indiana fever. that news leaked out today, a lot of fans caught the fever. attendance up over 48% from last season, closing in on 10,000 fans per game. clark averaged more than 19 points, five rebounds and eight assists per game. she's basically the wnba version of steph. we're one day removed from the a's last game in oakland after 57 years. obviously, we know how people feel here locally. let's get the national perspective from espn's scott van pelt. other cities have lost teams, and it's gutting to lose three is without precedent. do you think vegas is going to support the a's? come on. the passionate emotional goodbyes from those who love the team are to be expected. but ask yourself this. have you heard even a single dissenting voice outside of oakland? anyone

saying this is a great idea? you got it all wrong. this john fisher guy. you got it wrong. he's a great guy. i haven't. this right here. this is just the worst of what sports can be. heart goes out to you. a's fans. scott is exactly right. all right, one last note. happier. happy birthday to warriors head coach steve kerr. he turned 59 today. and he's looking forward to having part of training camp in hawaii. >> i really want to instill grit and toughness and nothing nothing can define that more than my ties and sunsets and luaus sports on abc seven sponsored by smart and final. >> that sounds nice. that's where i developed my grit and toughness and determination on the beach, on the beach with a, you know, a nice drink with an umbrella on it. that's toughen you up. oh, yeah. oh, yeah. yeah, yeah. ready to go after that? funny. all right. >> coming up tonight on abc seven at eight. it's doctor odyssey, followed at nine by 2020. then stay with us for abc

seven news at 11. remember that abc seven news is streaming 24 over seven. get the abc seven bay area app so you can join us whenever you want, wherever you are. >> finally, this friday, a few thoughts about what really matters. and then there were none. with the final pitch in yesterday's game at the coliseum, the a's won, while the city of oakland lost lost its third major professional sports franchise. three strikes and oakland is out. the warriors jumped the bay. the raiders upped sticks and left for vegas. and now the a's are headed there too. after a pit stop in sacramento. if they can actually pull it off, that deal is still a mess, but we know for sure they're no longer in oakland. as our sports director, larry beil so passionately said in a commentary this week. a's owner john fisher bungled the effort to keep the team here at every turn. you can see larry's pull no punches remarks that went viral on our website. john fisher couldn't or wouldn't get a new stadium deal done, but oakland officials didn't get it

done either. so now it's lost. major league baseball to oakland calls itself the town. sadly, by losing all three major pro sports teams, it seems more like a town now than the great city. it truly is. what really matters is for the people who run the town, to find a way to make this up to the fans. i always love to hear from you. let me know what you think. follow me on social media at dan ashley abc seven. >> and that is going to do it for this edition of abc seven news. we thank you so much for joining us tonight. >> i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley for sandhya patel, larry beil, all of us here. we appreciate your time. hope you have a great evening and we'll see you again at 11.
