city. the california public utilities commission asked pg&e on friday to make the list public and give them a list of the 100 at risk pipelines as a result of what happened a week and a half ago. that's when the lines rupture and blew up, killing at least four people and another three are still missing. coming up in 10 to 15 minutes, another city here in the south bay that received a phone call from pg&e about high risk lines running within their borders. i will tell you which city that is, coming up. reporting live in san jose, bob redell, today in the bay. >> thanks so much, bob. welcome back. another check in the chp report, we had reports of a disabled vehicle. northbound 880 at the off-ramp, now we have been watching the live shot from time to time and

we don't see major slowing. the off-ramp may be open, but plan on at least one lane being affected. you are coming north past the coliseum. we are looking in unusual orientation to the south. let's move the map around and look at the rest of the commute. there is the coliseum. the game past that area, we will see slowing around 6:00 when that slows for the a's game. 580 coming through oakland as well. a nice easy drive and coming out of the tunnel, both of the westbound operating per normal. off of the bridge, 1818-minute drive and the bay bridge toll plaza. that should start to form about a half hour from now. we will look at livermore, also a nice easy drive coming out of the pass. as you approach the area around the north livermore, things are clear by the time you get to north first. highway 84 is popular with 680.

the live shot shows you the traffic with the lights around the bend. this is south of where 84 joins us and you can join that new express lane. you are taking that express lane. opening up today and you are a carpooler and a fast track tag in your car. if you hop in, how are you going to make sure that the free ride which is intended to be free for you, how do you keep from getting dinged? he is showing you the mylar bag we got. we got it when we bought it. you are supposed to put the fast track in there to shield it from getting the debit charge. if you are like me, you lost it. you can probably go to a store and get one of the mylar balloons and wrap it around as well or shield it with a passenger. it depends on the size of your passenger too. for those of you who neat to pay, you have to remember this fact.

>> cash is not an option. the whole point is to keep people moving faster than they otherwise would be. fast track is the way to go. >> it is the way to go. there is no cash option for you. you will have to take advantage of that fast track and not technology. coming up in a report, i will tell you how that technology might be taking advantage of you. rob, we are going to take advantage as well with the forecast coming up. look at the beautiful view of the bay bridge upper deck. >> low clouds out there this morning. we switch over to the weather graphic so you can see right there. the temperatures are 50s and 60s around the bay area. 57 right now in santa cruz. 60 in san jose. a closer look has not much in the way of low clouds. around san francisco and oakland, patchy clouds and fog. 63 to get you started and look at the fog across the golden gate bridge. 58 degrees and a west wind at 6 miles per hour. storm track off to the north.
