Were told by kris sanchez who is north of hamilton in that stretch between hamilton and 280 that stretch is a deadly crash and were told one lane currently open at the scene to alleviate the backup there. I would avoid north 17 through that stretch and take bascom or winchester which are good alternates. Remember the surface streets and a lot of signals so allow the extra time traveling up toward 280. We do have live pictures. Kris sanchez was getting more information from the chp and wet get that from her shortly. Were looking at the flatbed tow truck that loaded one of the vehicles.

Pete suratos is live for us in one area of location where development is now at a standstill. Pete . Reporter yeah, good morning to you, marcus. A big chunk of the developments are tied to three projects in San Francisco making up a pretty large percentage of it. Were standing in the yorba blenda area and behind me you could see they are far from being completed. According to the report in the San Francisco chronicle were talking about three projects that were approved back in 2011 and they said they were set to transform three neighborhoods, one neighborhood is Hunters Point shipyard and the other one is where we are standing near the Treasure Island area and the last one at mark merced, that is near San Francisco state. Now altogether they total mar than 25,000 units so talking about representing 35 of San Francisco pipeline for proposed housing. But after nine years, get this, only about 350 homes have been built. Which comes out to just around 1 of that total. Now the projects are often sidetracked due to long approval process and high infrastructure costs as well as the developers being pressed to develop in open space and Affordable Housing and transportation. There have been some Success Stories with the mega developments in areas like san mateo and mission bay in San Francisco with thousands of units built near the chase center. So as it stands around 75,000 units are a part of the mega developments. Most of them on former military sites. Pete suratos for today in the bay. It is 5 35 now.
