the area. it's having a ripple and it is unexpectedly slow on southbound 87 right now. the south bay and the peninsula look great. 680 at bernal, a slower drive. and surface street congestion. the transit center is closed. earlier temporary transit center is once again your transit center this morning. and howard will be affected. new this morning, the changes uber is making to be better prepared during disasters and terror attacks. plus -- paying student debt, ivs oney treatments. >> sign of the times. an inside look at a new wedding trend. the things younger couples say they do want after saying i do. you are watching today in the bay. ♪ flintstones! meet the flintstones. ♪

minutes. northbound 85 is blocked past blossom hill road this. crash involves a fire truck. distraction for south 87 as well. we will see where that is in relation to san jose and the rest of silicon valley. we will track this one. today's top business headlines. wall street is pointed toward a positive opened to. the dow erased early gains yesterday though following tough trade talk were president trumped a administration officials. say that could mean will be a long process to resolve the trade disputes with china and other countries. on today's watch list a report on new home sales and the fed wraps up a two day meeting. it's wadely expected to again rise interest rates. it could raise borrowing costs on mortgage rates. yesterday the dow fell, and the nasdaq rose.

uber is overhauling its disaster response procedures so it doesn't get caught during major events like a hurricane. in the past uber relied largely on local teams to make decisions about suspending service or capping surge pricing. now those decisions will be handled by uber's new global security center. uber has been criticized for failing to suspend surge pricing during the terrorist bombings in new york and new jersey in 2016. and it was dogged by false claims of price gouging following the terrorist attack in paris in 2015. dunkin donuts is dropping half its name. it is dropping the donuts part. the move is part of focus on beverages. starting in january, dunkin's advertising, website, packages and other public messages will use the name dunkin and the stores will be remodeled but donuts will still remain a

>> you know, it's wedding season for those fall weddings. and we have some iffy weather heading into the -- part of the weekend for the north bay and then a better rain chance next week. here's a live look outside in emeryville this morning. it is a busy start. it's wednesday. we are going to coast right into the weekend. but we just have to get through this hot day with unhealthy air quality. it is a spare the air day. unhealthy air quality for the east bay as well as the south bay. the reason why is because we have high pressure. high pressure causes the air to sink. and whatever we throw up out there as far as pollution and all of that stuff, it just gets trapped in the valleys because of that. so we are having to breathe that in. as you try to help reduce the impact of all the pollution that's put out there, maybe you are on your way out to the pleasant hill bart station. it is going to be a cool start. mid 50s during the morning

hours. then it will be another day like yesterday where those temperatures go up really quickly, reaching into the mid 80s. making your way out the door for school this morning in san jose, expected to start out with mid 50s once again there. then as the kids head out for recess it is going to be very comfortable with some low to mid 70s. then on the way home, some low 80s. it's time to get ready for work for school you are goating your hair ready, and we do start out with some patches of fog and high humidity. overall as the day depose along it will dry out. if you are wondering if it is this kind of day or this kind of day. overall it is a smooth hair day. urs just give your hair a couple of squirts of hair spray. humidity drops and temperatu th. livermore is reaching 95. 96 in cop san francisco keeping

and the clouds a little while longer. we are about to see a change in our weather pattern. we going to see the approach of an area of low pressure. look at the wpds that flow around low pressure. that will bring in a brisk ocean breeze and drop our temperatures of then it also causes the air to rise. that means more clouds and a little bit more turbulent weather. but this can tap into tropical moisture all the way on the other side of the pacific and bring that right into the bay area. i am thinking at this point our rain chances after seeing several runs of the computer models are looking good for monday into tuesday of next week. of course we will have more updates on that. then our temperatures go from upper 90s today down to 80 by friday. some upper 70s for the weekend. a slight chance of rain in the north bay. elsewhere all clear. and a more significant chance across the bay area for monday and tuesday. mike you are update both of our

traffic alerts. >> the south bay, san jose one, and the one into the trivalley. first the san jose one at the bottom of the screen. overall, the peninsula site is very calm. look at all the trivalley and south bay activity. the south bay crash, northbound 85. we had a crew pass through the area in route to another item. they say it looks like all the veegs are getting ready to clear. i will say another five or ten minutes before they clear all the lanes for northbound 85. and north 101 folks diverting their path there. and southbound 87 also the distraction, more slowing there. this is what we are talking about, the ripple already threw that portion of of silicon vall fine. north of there looks clear. 85 will send traffic into zaire saratoga and cupertino as the a. northbound 680 only one lane

blocked now from the second alert. at the bottom of the screen. traffic held up there, at share ton, there was a crash that never cleared. and then there was a secondary crash there as well. in through freemont. please be cautious approaching flashing lights and activity. the bay bridge metering lights are on. potential delays for muni, ac transit base they are tempy center because the sales force transit center is closed. here's a story we are working on for 6:30. staying put, for now. a big update on the saga of a south bay homeless village getting a new lease on life. newer kmip cards are supposed to be more secure but thieves are still hacking our accounts. one weak spot. gas pumps. they are not required to take these cards yet.

through the trivalley we are showing a pleasant drive for south 680. in the south bay, it is this sex of 680. this alert has cleared, northbound 85 around blossom hill. toward the rest of coco county, over here, florence and concord, bay point and pittsburgh for highway 4. upper east side shows the build. this is the trend we expect toward the bay bridge where the metering lits are on. that's not a surprise. the note getting in towards san francisco is the closure at the transbay tunnel -- that was an odd map. i am having remote issues. the transit center continues to be closed. the surface streets, freemont,d e a closure for howard around the moss coney center. plan on delays through that area. for more on why the new transit center was closed i hand it back to you. >> i have a live look at the

taking the advice of muni not to drive into san francisco today because of the closure at the transbay transit center. the bart official we have certainly seen a steady stream of riders. most have clippercards. but others have gone up to the ticket gateha indicating they are fhe advice of officials. if you and cross use the freemont street you are going to hit howard and right there you are going to hit a roadblock as the transbay transit center is closed down. avoid that area, you can take bart, ac transit, cal transor uber, lyft or ride sharing taxis or car pooling. especially because today is a

spare the air day, anything you can do to keep your car off the roads that would be helpful. it appears some people are heeding the advice, if you have to go over the bay bridge into the dont area, muni is advicing you not to take your car. >> to understand the closure at your own pace, our website has traffic updates photor center. it is 6:34 right now. new this morning, san jose appears to be fng promise to build 10,000 affordable housing units by the year 2022. the markry news reports so far the city has only built 64. the mayor introduced the housing a year ago. and nearly 600 units are under correction right now. and about 270 are in developing stages. the city's housing department actually say they have been working with less funding after the state eliminated local redevelopment agencies. 6:35 right now.

theyt diocese bought this agricultural land hoond me. the rectangle is the proposed high school site. murphy avenue is the west, barrett avenue is to the north and farmland to the east. the other shaded areas could see a border change as a result. i will walk through the civics lesson i had to get in researching this story testimony diocese owns the land but cannot develop it until it has city services like water and power. in order for that to happen the city has to annex some land to bring it into city limits. approval for annexation can only come from santa clara county's lasco, the lal agency formation commission which is a state-mandated agency intended to protect open space like this one and agricultural land, also prevent urban small and promote service efficiency. with that aim in mind lasco has said no to several prior

development plans. according to the city of morgan hill which plans to take t the again, they say there is no available plot of land within the city limits big enough for a campus and because the diocese is committing to preserving agricultural land. >> what we are offering is we want to keep morgan hill beautiful. what we are offering is a one to one mitigation. for every acreage of land for the children and students we are going to reserve another acre to keep it agricultural. >> i don't understand why it is not a slam dunk with the diocese offering the one to one ratio giving more than 30 acres back of its 60acres, et cetera going to build on. a lot of parents in the area are not sure why this hasn't been a given. >> reporter: well, the morgan hill city council did vote to take this issue to lasco.

they have one week to do that. it's due by october 3rd which is next wednesday. lasco won't comment on anything related to this plan until they see the plan. but they are likely to take up the issue at their december meeting. until then, this seems to be quite the talk of the town. in morganhill, today in the bay. >> a big plot of lands. and a lot of people who want to see it happen. 6:38 right now. affecting where you shop. a target inos contra costa just with a discrimination lawsuit. a deaf man says he applied for a clerk position at the target in antioch in to 14. he had an interpreter to communicate over the phone with the hiring team but hayes claims that human resource representatives hung up on him twice. he says he never got an interview and antioch hired seven non-disabled people. >> i am sure we are going to follow that one. interesting over there. meanwhile in the south bay
