plastic-free city. >> "today in the bay's" bob redell with a live look at that ordinance that could pass tonight. bob? >> reporter: laura, you want to drink something in berkeley at a restaurant? someday you might have to bring a cup or pay extra. tonight the city council will vote on whether or not to approve the disposable foodware and litter reduction ordinance. better known as fdfalro, the acronym. it's a new law aimed at reducing waste caused by restaurants, cafes and coffee shops and other places that serve food and drink and if passed, starting in january of next year, the ordinance would require all foodware for takeout to be compostable, no more plastic and require businesses to charge customers 25 cents for disposable cups, the idea being customers would start bringing in their own cups just like we now bring our own bags to the grocery store and then starting in july of 2020, all dine-in foodware would have to be reusable.

>> why should they charge you for a cup when you pay $3 for a cup of coffee? >> reporter: they're trying to reduce waste. >> oh, well, can't they recycle? >> maybe they ought to charge me 25 cents is better. >> reporter: you think it's worth it? >> yes. it's not a big deal. meer stovie han who proposed this ordinance, released a statement, before she's going to hold a news conference on this around 4:00, but she sent out a statement that reads in part "recycling is no longer a solution if we want to save the planet, it's time to reduce, reuse and compost." her news conference today at 4:00, council meets at 6:00 to vote on this ordinance. reporting live here in berkeley, bob redell "today in the bay." >> i could see a lot of people not so happy about that one, bob, thank you. 6:34 for you right now. the continued shutdown of the trans bay transit center remains a problem for commuters but new according to the trans

support beams which was the root of the closure several months ago. i talked to a computer about the prolonged closure. here's what she had to say. >> it's just a bit longer walk. other than that, not been no big change. we just walk down the stairs when we're there, but kind of miss going up to the park. other than that, not really much different.officials, no date ha set for the reopening but they could make an announcement as early as february. we're live here in sansuras for uess it wasn't open long enough for a lot of people to get used to it. >> almost. >> maybe that's why a lot of people aren't that upset. thanks, pete. >> 6:36 right now. the search is on for a driver who hit and badly injured a woman while she was walking in fremont. it happened along calaveras road early yesterday morning. the driver took off. this is a tricky case because
