in for ann notarangelo. those who live in a san francisco those who live in a san francisco neighborhood where a clist was struck and good evening.

i'm elizabeth wenger. those who live in a san francisco neighborhood where cyclist was struck and killed by a car say it's not the first time there's been an accident at that intersection. john knapp reports now from sonic and turk, where neighbors and bikers say something needs to be done. >> reporter: that's right, elizabeth. neighbors have said for a long time that turk and masonic is a dangerous neighborhood. they say traffic moves too fast and point to this dip which goes down to the panhandle. they say that obscures traffic coming through the intersection. neighbors know this as a dangerous intersection. last night, a bicyclist riding south on masonic was struck by a driver headed in the same direction. the driver kept going, but stopped a few blocks away. the 21-year-old male buy sick illist was killed. the driver of the mercedes that hit him was arrested and booked on vehicular manslaughter. >> we can see the intersection from the second floor flat and we have seen accidents there before, one pretty bad one with

a motorcyclist. you can't really see if anybody's coming. >> reporter: michael hillcrest who writes a neighborhood blog, says a neighbor come up on the scene last night and blocked traffic with his car after seeing a taxi drive by the body without stopping. he says neighbors have petitioned to slow traffic down. they want to see a center divide and landscaping. >> item now, this looks like a freeway out here. it's wide open, flat, go as fast as you can. you could do that, you could put a bicycle lane alongside, which not only would give bicyclists safe passage, but also as a cue to others on the street. >> reporter: these riders visiting from out of town used bikes today to go to a concert. drivers here are not like those in davis' neighborhood. in davis, bikes get respect. >> at this corner, this car honked at me. i was clearly going around. he honked because he thought it was funny. i don't know. they think it's a joke. >> reporter: nor, she says, is

san francisco as bicycle friendly as san luis abyss bow. >> hurry, taxis driving everywhere, definitely not very safe. i'm definitely on edge. >> reporter: there's a certain tension between motorists and buy sick illests. david crader rides in heavy rush hour traffic every day. as he goes from the fisherman's wharf area to his job downtown. >> bottom line, if you look at the bike lanes down here, there's tracks and big ditches, not well maintained. it's tough in a big city, but it's pretty important for a biker's safety. >> reporter: the driver cited for vehicular manslaughter was not named. >> john knapp in san francisco, thank you. a new tribute to oscar grant is being put together in oakland tonight. grant was killed by a police officer at the fruit dale station on new year's day 2009. the ella baker center created

the oscar grant ribbon memorial. everyone was invited to tie a ribbon onto the new memorial. organizers asked, after people tied a ribbon, that they can think about how they can positively influence the community. an apple employee from sunnyvale is under arrest, suspected in a kickback scheme. a federal grand jury indicted 37-year-old paul shin devine, accused of accepting more than $1 million for supplying confidential information to apple suppliers in asia. those suppliers used the information to negotiate favorable contracts with cooper tino-based apple. wire fraud, money laundering and kickbacks are the charges. meg whitman is pumping millions more into her campaign for governor. the republican gop candidate dug into her own personal wealth and donated another $13 million to her campaign. the former ebay executive has now contributed $104 million from her own fortune.

meanwhile, the latest cbs 5 poll shows the race for governor in a statistical dead heat. 44% of californiaians support whitman. 43% support democrat jerry brown. 6%, undecided. the social security law is 75 years old today. advocates, seniors and labor groups rallied outside the new schedule building in san francisco to make sure it will be intact for years to come. kim ryan shows us why supporters of social security say cutting it will be harmful to millions. >> reporter: tom rankine, treasurer for the california alliance for retired americans has little faith in the commission of by partisan commission put together by president obama to address the deficit. >> my daughter is having triplets this coming month, and i want there to be social security for them on their 65th birthday, not their 75th birthday, and i want it to last

for another 150 years. social security was born 75 years ago under fdr. that was about the time that people began debating how long it would last. will it be sustainable? and the fear of the folks here today is the same. will privatization prevail? will they have to work years longer, before drawing a monthly paycheck? >> cochairs have already indicated that they would like to cut social security by increasing the retirement age and cutting the cost of living allowances. >> reporter: tom ranken, treasurer for the council alliance of retired americans, has little faith in a bipartisan deficit commission put together by president obama. >> and we want social security to be there for you and you and you and you. >> n]♪ >> reporter: outside the federal building in san francisco, tim ryan, cbs 5. a labor of love is becoming a family affair.

>> brought the whole family out here. how bay area school communities are taking matters into their own hands. end of world war two. celebrating 65 years later, the events in the south marking the event of world war ii. i'm in the weather center, a foggy start, but sunshine in most places by the end, but here comes the fog again. when will we warm up? we'll talk about that, coming up. ,,,, our mercury moment took place at colin's golf practice.

parents who need help with back-to-school supplies for their children got it today. two local organizations, mo magic and b magic provided thousands of backpacks to students. many kids say they would not be able to get a new backpack if they didn't get it for free. two locations in san francisco were set up for the backpack give-away, and as you can see, once they arrived, there were boxes and boxes of backpacks to choose from. public schools hard-hit by the state's budget crisis have been forced to cut some nonessential services. well, among those cuts, landscaping. but as julie watt shows us, at one oakland school, business and community members are stepping up to keep the grounds

well groomed. >> this is really sad. >> reporter: kyle was shocked when he saw the landscaping in front of oakland's elementary. he says it's nothing like the lush, green vegetation at his walnut creek middle school. >> i would be unhappy, and i would talk to the school district, try and get people to help, just like we're doing here. >> reporter: kyle's one of 50 volunteers from as far away as rosedale who gave up their saturday to clean up one of five oakland schools. >> brought the whole family out here. >> reporter: kyle's dad, mark, works for mccarthy building company, the catalyst behind this cleanup effort. mccarthy manages all the construction and modernization projects for oakland unified. >> we work in oakland. we do hospitals in oakland. we do schools out here in oakland, and we want to contribute back to the community. >> reporter: as you might imagine, in a city like oakland, a city that can't afford to keep police officers and teachers staffed, there's not a lot of money to upkeep

landscaping at schools like this, which can lead to serious problems. >> it's potential for fire damage. but also the potential for the campus to start to back slide and really be an eye score again. >> reporter: she says again, because when principal carter first arrived at the school 15 years ago, this hillside was covered in trash. over time, the school district and members of the community began investing in landscaping, but as funding dries up, so do the weeds, and the consequences are wider-reaching than simple curb appeal. >> because as the campus starts to look worse, people in the community unfortunately respect it less and less. we have more vandalism. we have more graffiti. and then ultimately, we have less people choosing the school for their kids. >> reporter: and without students, there's less funding. without funding, there's more deterioration, and the cycle continues. a cycle the volunteers from mccarthy building are trying to break. they estimate this one cleanup day has saved the district as much as $15,000, but more

importantly for kyle, the kids at the school can be proud of their campus when they come back to school in just a couple of weeks. in oakland, julie watt, cbs 5. and checking other news, world war ii vets and their families gathered in south bay to commemorate the 65th anniversary of the end of that war. the commemoration was held at history park in south bay. participants took part in a victory parade and then got together for a reunion photo. >> as that flag went up, tears would come down our eyes, you know. so thankful to be serving our country, so thankful that all things went well. not one man in our crew got hurt. >> well, live '40s swing music and dancing were also featured, a world war ii fly-over and many other events for children. scientists looking for intelligent life in the
