the kl kl candlelight -- the candlelight vigil will be held here tonight. paul chambers, ktvu channel 2 news. san francisco mayor ed lee plans to reveal today if he will launch a formal effort to force ross mirkarimi out of office. late yesterday, ktvu news was there when mirkarimi went into the mayor's city hall office to meet behind closed doors. that meeting came several hours after mirkarimi made a tearful apology after the sentencing in his domestic violence case. we'll have more on this at 7:30. a concord police officer is on paid leave after he was arrested on allegations of domestic violence. that's according to claycord.com. prosecutors say police arrested hill on february 16th in san

lane and bypass all of the other traffic, all of those tail lights, they will be able to bypass that if they are able to pay for it. the cost of using that express toll lane varies throughout the morning. it depends how backed up the traffic gets. anywhere from 30 cents if there's not a lot of traffic up to $6 if it's really congested. we drove up to the interchange just after 5:00 this morning. there was not a lot of cars on the road at the time. not a lot of backup, so the toll, just 30 cents and then a little later, the toll went up to 70 cents. the one thing we've learned about this express lane, once you are on it, you have to stay on it for the entire four-mile stretch. there are signs saying do not cross the double lanes because you will get a fine. they say they have to enforce that rule in order to maintain the flow of traffic. >> we're also looking at the express lane for a longer

commute home. we want the commuters that are looking to bypass this traffic headed towards mountain view, headed to 101, that gives them the time travel benefit that they are really seeking. >> reporter: now, the express lanes also go in the opposite direction, and 237 from mountain view to san jose. if we take you back out here live, i'm holding up a fastrack. this is what you are going to need to pay those express lanes. it's only solo drivers that will be charged. so if you have two or more people in your car, tuck this away so you don't get charged for using that express lane. back to you. we have a road hazard to tell you about. a large barrel blocking one of the lanes northbound, caltrans is on its way. if we take a live look at 237,
