9:05 am
let's see what happens next. >> the bayview is just one stop on lurie's weekend of service, hosted by multiple city nonprofits. the incoming mayor and his team called clean up efforts with hundreds of volunteers at ocean beach and the fillmore. >> hi, everybody. we're out here at the ocean ale house in ingleside and ingleside neighborhoods, where one longtime educator shared her hopes for the new administration. >> he continuous, continuous support families, children, educators. and we'll give him support when he supports us. but we're going to support him anyway because he's our mayor. we want to do well. period. >> bill lee, a former longtime city administrator, has worked under five different mayors and says lurie's weekend of service is unprecedented. >> no elected mayor will say to have been sworn in has ever done this program before. >> lee says other mayor elects haven't been so public in the days leading up to their inauguration, and believe lurie's actions this weekend are true to his core values.
9:06 am
>> remember, he was from tipping point, and so he funded a lot of nonprofits that do public good. and i think he's trying to send a message, look, this city has to be clean. i don't mind going to the bayview fillmore to the mission or chinatown. we've got to be beautify the city. >> back in the bayview, residents say the visit gives them hope not just for a cleaner, but brighter future. >> it is exciting. and economic development out here. and developing the young people that needs to be connected to jobs. and so we put together a plan for bayview. so revitalize. and that plan is going to want to adopt that plan. >> and kenneth dion lim abc seven news. >> today's cleanup efforts include nob hill, the tenderloin and the mission district. laurie's inauguration will be held on wednesday at city hall, and he plans on holding celebrations in chinatown afterwards. well, today, glide will honor mayor london breed
9:07 am
and her time in office. breed began her time as mayor back in 2018, becoming san francisco's first african-american woman in that role. but she has been serving the city for much longer than that. her career started as a supervisor of district five back in 2013, and she later served as the district board president. glide says they plan to honor breed's commitment to glide the tenderloin and the greater san francisco community. that ceremony will start in a couple hours at 11:00 at glide church. abc seven news is following the story of the antioch police department reaching an agreement with the u.s. department of justice. that agreement means an increase in police oversight. it comes after an fbi investigation into the department uncovered a racist texting scandal. here's abc seven news reporter anser hassan. >> in the summer of 2023, the fbi unsealed indictments into claims that the antioch police conspired and agreed to injure,
9:08 am
oppress, threaten and intimidate the residents of antioch. on friday, the u.s. department of justice announced it reached an agreement with the city to resolve its investigation. >> my first initial reaction to the mou was that it's a step forward. >> antioch city council member tamisha torres-walker is glad the investigation didn't drag out for years. the agreement, outlined in a 25 page memorandum of understanding, includes hiring a consultant who will work with the police oversight commission to monitor use of force and misconduct allegations, review hiring and promotions within the department, and update department policies. torres-walker concern is over accountability. >> it does look a little standard. it doesn't really cite any clear accountability. this is good to know that an agreement was reached. but what is the accountability behind it? what is going to change the culture in our police department and not just the department, but in the community? >> it is ultimately up to the good people of antioch to demand
9:09 am
better. and what this agreement does is it prescribes a pathway toward better service, greater public safety. >> department of justice studies professor greg woods says even if the mou seems somewhat standard, what's important is that it's backed by the power of the u.s. government to enforce it. but woods also points out that an incoming trump administration may not be as concerned with police oversight, and that's a concern for attorney carmela caamano. >> with an incoming trump administration. we can't be for certain how the department of justice is going to conduct itself over the next four years. so, like i said, it's a beginning. it's not the end. >> carmona's client, tyrone pugh, was singled out as the victim of the texting scandal in a special report prepared by the contra costa county district attorney's office. karmanos launched a federal civil rights case in which she hopes will have a consent decree in place to impose greater restrictions on the department. but another issue is funding, such as for the auditor. >> how would these things be
9:10 am
funded over time? is one of the challenges that this council will have to discuss and think about without cutting critical community services? >> the california department of justice hasn't finished its separate investigation, and more measures could be put in place as a result. antioch police did not respond to requests for comment. in antioch, anser hassan abc seven news. >> take a look at this this morning. oakland police responded to this break-in at a smoke shop on san pablo avenue, and the surveillance video here shows this car ramming into the front of the business so they can steal from it. police responded to the scene, but as you can see, the smoke shop was already wrecked by the time they got there. this is one of three burglaries reported in oakland this morning. also in the east bay, a man is recovering in the hospital after being shot by an oakland police sergeant. the oakland police department says it happened when the officer saw someone firing a rifle on
9:11 am
macarthur boulevard, near 66th avenue. it happened yesterday morning, just after five. there was a chase with the police officer firing at that suspect. the oakland police union says that person was shot, but was able to barricade themselves in a nearby home. they surrendered after a lengthy standoff. no one else was hurt. that sergeant is now on administrative leave. meanwhile, contra costa county deputies arrested a suspect who was reportedly illegally making and selling guns. this as they were already investigating a shooting that happened in september. deputies served a search warrant at a home in pittsburgh on thursday in connection to the shooting. and here are all those guns, theynd say someone was shot with an illegally manufactured gun during an argument at the contra costa county fairgrounds in antioch. authorities are also investigating whether the suspect is connected to another shooting in the area at the time. >> we're still investigating if the two are linked. it may be a
9:12 am
continuation, but we're again, we're still gathering facts. >> at the home. investigators found assault weapons. some did not have serial numbers. the weapons will be tested to see if they're linked to any shooting or crimes. well, today, dungeness crab fishing season finally begins across the bay area. the season, as you know, usually starts in mid november, but it's been delayed several times this year to protect migrating whales and prevent them from getting tangled in all that crab gear. crews have already put hundreds of pots down on the ocean floor and have already started harvesting this morning. last year, dungeness crab season did not start until january 18th, so we got a bit of a head start. all right, let's get you outside. good morning. liz. >> good morning steph. we're in the mid and upper 40s over into the east bay. so still quite cool. there's a little bit of fog out there, but we're on our way to a pretty nice afternoon. kind of typical for winter. and then things switch around to atypical as we get into breezy

offshore winds and potentially some record warmth. i'll have your full accuweather seven day forecast coming up, lisa. >> thank you. also ahead, a pedestrian struck and killed last night. this as we take a closer look at the years long project to reduce traffic deaths across san francisco. is it working that story next? >> the huge retirement sale at jeffrey's diamonds and goldsmith has been extended for one more week. shop stunning diamonds, colored stones and much more. no reasonable offer will be refused. it's now or never. sale ends january 4th. for you and all fashioned family food, black bird.

9:16 am
we think are going to, you know, the world's coming to an end. um, psychologically, it's like, oh my gosh, am i in this fervor that i have to go find eggs somewhere in anywhere? um i'll do i will likely just do without it. >> pretty crazy. as i mentioned, the highest i've seen for a dozen is $15, and $0.79. experts say there's no quick fix in sight, and the egg supplies expected to be tight for at least the next few weeks. well, dozens of families were forced from their homes in san francisco when a gas pipe ruptured in the area of 47th avenue and balboa street. those neighborhood evacuations lasted hours until the leak was finally stopped. city crews were repairing a water leak in the area yesterday morning when they accidentally struck that gas line. the city's fire department was called, and as a precaution, residents within two blocks of the area evacuated. >> we all ran. they told us to split, you know. yeah. so i smelled it instantly. the extremely scary you can see behind me, the loud hissing.
9:17 am
>> you can smell the gas that's out here. >> crews showed up to fix the leak around noon. and as you just heard, residents reported a very strong gas smell. p-g-and-e's was able to shut off the gas in the area and evacuation orders were lifted soon thereafter. repairs on both the gas and water lines continue this morning. now to this one person died after they were hit by a car in san francisco while they were just walking on the street. police are now looking for the driver this morning who left the scene right after the crash. someone reported the incident on silver avenue and colby street after 530 last night. this comes as we've paid close attention to san francisco's vision zero. the plan to make streets safer and eliminate traffic deaths in 2024, a project that's been in the making for the past decade. and that goal was not reached. in fact, last year, 41 people died on san francisco streets, including two dozen pedestrians.
9:18 am
that's even more than in 2014, when vision zero was first announced. 31 people died that year. abc seven news reporter tara campbell looks at what ten years of work actually accomplished, and what's next? it's a record san francisco certainly didn't want to set, but now it's official. >> the city saw more traffic deaths in 2024 than any other year in the past decade, a decade that was devoted to dropping those deaths down to zero. >> it's absolutely working. >> i can't imagine what san francisco would be like if the city didn't invest it in vision zero, didn't put the resources aside. >> dozens of cities across the country have taken the vision zero pledge, but like others, san francisco is seeing the death toll rise, particularly among pedestrians. last year, 24 people died while walking the streets. >> it's combating death. shades of streets, design for vehicles versus for all of us.
9:19 am
>> we spent tens of millions of dollars reconfiguring the streets, putting in protections , putting in bike lanes, putting in a lot of different things to try to make the streets safer. >> but abc7 insider phil matier says a lack of law enforcement is catching up. >> one of the reasons ticketing went down over the years was that they didn't have enough police. another one was that there was a concern that tickets were a form of racial discrimination, and that minorities and people of color wound up getting most tickets. >> there's never anybody getting caught for like, running red lights or stop signs and minor traffic violations that tend to cause pedestrian injuries. >> advocates have long been pushing for the use of more technology to combat fast, distracted driving. the governor this past year signing off on a pilot project that will help catch people speeding through intersections. >> we believe that the pilot, the speed camera pilot that's going to be turned on in march, is going to be a game changer. >> san francisco will be the first of six cities to launch
9:20 am
the pilot program. >> imagine 33 locations with speed cameras. so really changing people's behavior and having them obey the speed law. >> meanwhile, they're calling on mayor elect daniel lurie to re adopt the vision zero policy in his first 100 days in office. tara campbell, abc seven news. >> all right, happening now. chain controls are notrillionequired on interstate 80 or 50. if you're heading up to the sierra, that's, of course, a big change from earlier in the week. you're looking at a live look from south lake tahoe on i-15 eastbound, caltrans said after the storm, a couple of days ago. the snow has clearly subsided and the sun is out. but the agency is still advising drivers to stay vigilant and up to date on potential chain controls. here at home, we are dry. it's chilly out there, lisa, but now we finally see the sun. >> yeah, you know, they picked up about a foot of snow with that past storm on friday in the mountains. now getting into an extended break, a drying trend
9:21 am
we call this a mid-winter dry spell. winter. just started, but we're going to take a break at least 7 to 10 days from the rainfall, as all the action is headed to the east. even southern california, seeing some very dangerous conditions with extreme fire weather for tuesday through friday. winds could gust in l.a. county up to 90 miles an hour. while we're going to have our own off shore event, we have some really, uh, blizzard conditions, icing on the roadways. dangerous here from kansas city where they could see record snow into kentucky in washington, dc right now, front just moved through dallas. it went from 67 to 48 degrees. and we're continuing to see the temperatures drop in dallas to freezing overnight. so while we're going to see windy conditions here this part of the nation is just a mess. and we are looking at not only the icing and the snow, but it's all headed to the north and east for lake effect snow. and then
9:22 am
boston in new york city getting into it friday saturday could see 8 to 10in of snow. a lot of time between now and then, but we are changing our weather pattern as well. it is 49 san francisco. you can see the sun out there. hayward is at 50. good morning to you, santa cruz. a beautiful start here with mid and upper 40s for our inland valleys. and finally last stop here across the bay in emeryville, where temperatures are going to come up quickly this week. partly cloudy, milder today. gusty off shore winds is going to be the culprit. that gets us going for the milder weather, and we will look for the week to have more than what we're used to in terms of warmth above average. and we could even see a wind advisory. but with the ground so saturated, i think that our fire danger is not going to be a concern here. look at the mid and upper 60s here for tuesday. could even see a 70 degree day as we get into wednesday. still widespread 60. and then thursday even milder. check out that 68 in san jose.
9:23 am
so while we're enjoying 5 to 10 degrees above average, the winds will dial back as we get into wednesday. but we've got fired danger and very little rain this season at all in southern california and much of the nation. looking at some rough weather. beach hazard statement comes into play 4 a.m. monday into 4 p.m. tuesday, where the breakers will be up to 20ft, and we'll be looking at a nice afternoon today. partly cloudy, a few increasing high clouds in the north bay and then by tomorrow, just a couple of clouds and then even a few more degrees of warming. and then we get that wind shift monday night into tuesday. and then we're going to be looking at those very gusty winds. so national weather service call whether or not we get that wind advisory. but you can see those gusty winds certainly in the upper elevations. it will be breezy down at the surface here. and that will bring mild temperatures. 64 san jose today. upper 50s to near 60 around the bay. the accuweather seven-day forecast. so we're partly cloudy a little warmer monday, much warmer tuesday. and the warmth
9:24 am
with the 60s and the mild weather takes us through the rest of the week. we'll be right back. >> listening to people that drink bigelow tea is so important to my family, because making that perfect cup, it's the reason we do what we do. hi guys. so what are you guys drinking? >> constant comment when i'm drinking bigelow tea. it's just a moment for me. it's just me time. >> that's what a cup of tea is. a moment for you. someone you love. oh, it's really great. >> yes. >> it was always bigelow tea. wow. that's what my family hopes for. >> cheers. cheers >> a car accident can shatter your world. but but a jacoby and myers. we want to help you get back to where you were before advocating for you taking on insurance companies, hospital bills, medical care, whatever you need to get back to the life you love. jacoby and myers is championed the hard working people of california for over 50 years and won more than $2

9:27 am
starting out as a graduate student at uc santa cruz and the green crab population was growing explosively at elkhorn slough reserve. that's when estuary ecologists rick jeppesen began trying to figure out why the green crabs native to europe were thriving. but somewhere in the middle of a research project, a strange thing happened and the trend began reversing at least an elkhorn slough. so what had changed in this tiny sliver of the northern california coast? she believes it was the return of native sea otters documented by usgs surveys. >> given that the population size is about 120, they can probably eat somewhere between 50 and 120,000 green crabs at the slough per year, and i mean hundreds 100,000 green crabs consumed by otters. that's a lot. jefferson and her colleagues began mapping the slough to pinpointing the location of otter populations versus green crabs. >> research coordinator kirstein
9:28 am
wasson says the modeling seems to confirm the trend. more otters, fewer crabs. so we use circumstantial evidence about spatial patterns like within elkhorn slough, the areas that have a lot of otters don't have a lot of green crabs, and the green crabs are nothing. if not invasive, spreading rapidly since being accidentally introduced into san francisco bay in the late 1980s, and coastal communities from california to washington state are spending millions and time and money to control the crabs, which compete with native sea creatures. could the otter be a help? i think there's a lot of promise that sea otter introduction to these areas would decrease. >> the european green crab populations, as well as leading to healthier seagrass beds and salt marshes and all the other benefits that come from having a top predator and restored food webs in the system. >> several groups are pushing
9:29 am
state and federal officials to consider the idea of reintroducing sea otter populations to areas that were decimated by fur hunters more than a century ago. the idea is expensive and likely to face opposition from the fishing industry. but in a world of changing climate and changing priorities, researchers say it's important to study all of our options. >> it's very hard to predict the future, although we feel like the system right now is more balanced than maybe it was 20 years ago, i don't think we should be too safe, drew tuma, abc seven news still to come this morning, vice president kamala harris preparing to certify her defeat to president elect donald trump. >> plus a lot to look forward to in hollywood. the countdown to this is our kingdom here. >> now we're here to take it back. >> that was a snippet of the new snow white film. we have a look at some of the most anticipated pop culture moments of 2025.
