in danville. so that is the national weather service highlighted regions. but notice that 36 in palo alto and on the coast, awfully cold with 31 napa, sonoma, calistoga, santa rosa. so heading out, grab the heavier coat. it's going to be a cold start. we'll see increasing clouds throughout the day. we're staying dry through all of tuesday, but notice how the temperatures in the low 50s kind of bottom cap in the mid 50s. so we're not going to see those upper 50s. it was pretty mild yesterday with all the sun and the clouds not moving in, but they will today and as a result it's cooler. the rain is offshore. it moves in and it skirts the north bay and it focuses on the peninsula later on today. gloria. >> yeah. you know, so far it is looking pretty good out there on the roads. of course, we do have that traffic that's starting to build this time of the morning. but if you look at our map, mostly green, so no major incidents. but we do want to point out a couple that we are tracking this morning. we have over in oakland on eastbound 580

before macarthur boulevard. there's a multi-vehicle crash, and right now there is an overturned vehicle facing the wrong way. it's blocking all the left lanes, and traffic is only passing in the right lane. traffic is backed up to 106th avenue, so major delays in that area in oakland. and we have a live look at our bay bridge toll plaza camera. you can see it is very crowded out here. and the backup actually started a little bit earlier than usual because there was a crash on westbound 80 before fifth street that has cleared, but we are seeing some delays still across the span into the city, and you can see from highway four to san francisco it will take you an hour. reggie aqui. >> happening today, the city of fremont is taking a look at the way they've been addressing the homeless crisis, and they're considering a new approach. the proposal before the city council would ban sleeping on the street. but that's not the end of it. anyone who helps people at an encampment could face criminal charges. abc seven news reporter lena howland is live at fremont city hall this morning. lena, this is definitely facing some resistance.

news group. and it's also getting support from the fremont police association. they put out a statement saying in part, it is merely a tool to be used in limited circumstances when unhoused community members refuse to comply with requests and reject assistance. city officials have also said their intent is not to arrest homeless people or nonprofit workers. the city council will take this up for a vote tonight at 7:00 here at city hall. live in fremont. lena howland, abc seven news. >> all right, lena, thank you. p-g-and-e's is facing criticism this morning for an open letter, basically blaming customers for rising utility rates. today, customers are being asked to send a message just ahead of valentine's day saying you are breaking our hearts. the letter from ceo patty poppy blamed energy conservation and solar for electricity rate hikes, though p-g-and-e's blamed them on the need to improve infrastructure. in filings with state regulators. now, clean energy and conservation advocates are rallying together. they're asking customers to

disaster zone in a state of emergency, it needs to be charged appropriately, fairly, and it needs to represent the conduct of the crime. >> the bill, ab 469, would also extend protections into the rebuilding process to ensure that disaster survivors and their property remain safe. if passed, the law would go into effect in january. lawmakers say they are working closely with governor newsom to move the bill through the legislature as quickly as possible. reggie. >> all right. thanks, gloria. there's new help arriving for people in the altadena area, beginning the long cleanup process from the eaton fire this week. fema crews are going door to door offering assistance to residents. the goal is to reach people who may not have been able to get to help centers. workers can help people apply for resources to clear their property and rebuild or repair their damaged homes. >> it's fantastic. i had found them, but if i hadn't, they came and found me. it really shows how much they care and how much they care, how much effort

the way it is written, literally, literally criminalizes sleeping outside. >> you want to help them in any way, provide services. then by all means, we would love to get your help. however, if you're building structures like treehouses or over waterways or in our parks, those are not safe. >> and that was the mayor of fremont who said their intent is not to arrest homeless people or nonprofit workers. this plan has gotten support from the fremont police association and about 1600 residents that have signed an online petition in support of this plan. city council will take this up for a vote tonight at 7:00 here at city hall. live in fremont. lena howland, abc seven news. >> all right, lena, thank you. a changing approach to homelessness policy is also on the agenda in san jose. mayor matt mehan wants to shift more funding from affordable housing projects to homeless shelters. mahan's budget proposal would reshape how the city uses tax dollars from measure e, the
