Day lighting, pedestrian safety, state law. Their efforts got mixed reviews from residents. We talked with the signs seem mostly popular, i love them. I thought it was great for awareness and bike safety, a lot of pedestrians and bikes come through here and there are also many cars, so it can be dangerous at times. But extending the red curbs is a different story. Personally, i dont love it because we need parking in the neighborhood, but i understand. I mean, you know, in ten years well, you know, wont even have our car. So well all be autonomous vehicles. So and while the red curbs remain, the signs in the middle of the street are already gone. All thats left are the bullet holes in the street where they were drilled in illegally. A spokesperson for the sfmta says their crews did remove those unsanctioned signs this morning. The sfmta Spokesman Says the agency hasnt received any requests to have official city signs installed here. The unsanctioned ones were removed because they didnt meet the sfmta standards. The agency is also looking into what to do about the extended red curbs, according to the street rebel group, theyre hoping their unsanctioned efforts will prompt a Faster Response on these issues from the city. In San Francisco, sergio quintana, nbc bay area news. Sergio, thank you. Governor newsom is expanding the chp crime crackdown operation statewide. The operation, launched about a year ago in San Francisco to address crimes specifically in the tenderloin. Last week, the Governors Office said property crime is down 32 and Violent Crime is down almost 15 in the city. Following the increase of chp patrols and tougher prosecution of fentanyl related crimes. Now its time to expand. This is a rolling commitment. Its not a one off, and well reconsider a similar strategies and saturation efforts proactive policing as we refer to it in the future as well. Well be rolling up the last month and making a more substantive announcement in terms of expansion of our operations for the national guard, including task forces that we have assembled all up and down the state that include and cover still San Francisco in that respect. Yesterday, the governor announced the expansion of the operation to bakersfield. He plans to share preliminary results from the first phase of that rollout next week. We are following yet another campus protest, this time at stanford. New video into our newsroom show students protesting the war in gaza, setting up tents in the main quad. There are hundreds of students joining in on this protest. Stanford is one of several schools, as you may know, around the country, that has seen continued displays calling on University Leaders to cut ties with the israeli government. And Governor Newsom also says hes been in touch with university of california president Michael Drake about how to properly address those campus protests here at uc berkeley. Its day four of demonstrations on campus. More than 60 protesters are now camped out in front of the universitys administrative building. Tents have taken over the steps lawn and lawn as well. At sproul hall, friday is the last day of regular classes for the university, but protesters say they are willing to keep going until their demands are met. I think whats painful about this situation, as someone who is both a palestinian and a student, is that not only do my tax dollars go to funding this genocide as being a u. S. Citizen, but my tuition money as a student also goes to funding this genocide. Its just one of the biggest institutions in the country, and this is a world class university. So what they say matters. And, i would be hopeful that, you know, theres Something Like a domino effect, a cascading effect. Uc berkeley says they are not planning on removing protesters or involving Law Enforcement unless it does become necessary to protect the safety of students or faculty. Officials also say while theyre committed to free speech, they have no plans to change their investment practices. Okay, lets go ahead and take a live look. Now. This is in la. Ucla students are still protesting at this hour. You see dozens of them out there right now. So this morning another encampment was set up on campus, joining the National Demonstrations weve been seeing this week. They built a wooden fence alongside the encampment with signs in support of palestinians. You see some of them out there right now holding up signs, holding up flags. Unlike other schools, organizers are calling for divestment in companies tied to israel, along with the suspension of study abroad programs in israel and coming up at 630, nbc nightly news will have more coverage of the mass protests, a law that makes the content you stream equally fast no matter who provides it, is coming back. Net neutrality was just reinstated, and everyone from Tech Companies to firefighters are cheering the decision. Our business and tech reporter scott budman joins us now to explain. Scott, this is a big deal. Yeah, raj, Net Neutrality is admittedly not all that exciting to talk about, but it is important. It means no matter how big or small, your company, your content will stream through the internet at the same speed as your competitors. It was repealed by the Trump Administration seven years ago. Today. Its back to your favorite app. They just want a good show. Thats all they want. And your Favorite Movie will stream at rapid speeds. No matter how big the company. Now that Net Neutrality has been brought back, hopefully people will be able to, you know, go online and theyll see that, you know, this Video Service is just as fast as some other Video Service. Reversing the 2017 repeal of Net Neutrality, the fcc now says Internet Service providers or isps like verizon, at t and comcast cannot slow internet traffic of one company at the expense of another. Rather than let the isps make choices about what we watch, make choices about which ones which services are faster or slower, there should be a level Playing Field for everybody. The push for Net Neutrality also came from the Santa Clara County fire department, which saw its cell service throttled while fighting the 2018 mendocino complex fire. Firefighters banded together using personal devices from different carriers that maybe werent being throttled or hadnt reached a cap in order to get the job done. Now Silicon ValleyTech Companies say they welcome the equal Playing Field. We as carriers should not be, in my opinion, picking and choosing not only what people can get to, but how it perrms when they interconnect it. I should mention that comcast, one of the leading Internet Service providers, is the Parent Company of this tv station. The new Net Neutrality rule is set to go into effect in 60 days. Audrey, back to you. So much. Prepare for rates to go up significantly. That is the message from the president of the states insurer of last resort, california fair access to insurance requirements, or fair, is a program for homeowners in high risk areas who cant get fire coverage in the private market. During a state Oversight Committee hearing today, planned president victoria roach says that their numbers are growing too fast because large numbers of californians have been recently dropped by insurance companies. The fair plan is required to have rates that would allow it to have enough money to cover operating expenses, and the cost of claims filed by those insured under the plan, roach says its current rates are insufficient. Well, it is National Crime victims rights week and at a special ceremony in the south bay today, victim advocates recognized the Unsung Heroes who stepped up and came to the rescue of people in dire situations. Nbc bay areas robert honda joins us from Los Altos Hills to show us why theyre being hailed as heroes. Well, there were a lot of Inspiring Stories told here today, as those who work with crime victims had a chance to sing about their Unsung Heroes without all of you, we couldnt do the work that we do. So thank you. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. Heroes and rescued victims filled the ceremony inside the Morgan Estate in Los Altos Hills. The 2024 unsung hero awards is sponsored by mam mothers against murder, who have spent two decades helping crime victims. We need more of awareness and empathy, feeling for what . Victims go through in their pain, the sufferings and some cases, the trauma lasts forever, for and ever. There were so many heartfelt stories, including a recent robbery victim who thanked oakland police. They were amazing. They calm me down. They put me in their car. It was raining and they caught the robber that night at 1130 at night. One honoree from mam showed heroism is often not a single heroic act. Attorney Connor Ocarroll of Global Law Firm reed smith, worked five years to help obtain asylum for a family that fled iraq. When isis took control, ocarroll was finally able to get one of the familys stranded sons out of iraq. Earlier this month, the family had a tearful reunion in san jose after ten years of separation. Oconnor and the son, philip, reunited here. Whenever i see him, i just say thank you so much. Thank you so much. Really, the thing he did for us was unimaginable, you know . So thank you again. Im just happy for everybody. Its not its not really about me. Its about them. And thats i think the whole event here, the theme was just its the work we do for others. Its a privilege and were humbled by it. The list of honorees shows theres no shortage of heroes. Real heroes are the term unsung hero is very appropriate because these are folks that dont get recognition, but they are making a huge impact. And i dont want to sound cliche, but they are saving lives. Literally. It would be nice to have enough time to tell all of their stories. This is the first Unsung Heroes event since 2019 prepandemic, so a lot of heroes may have missed getting recognition over the years, but in listening to the victims, their appreciation is probably enough. In Los Altos Hills, robert honda, nbc, bay area news robert, thank you up next here at 6 00, a fun day in the city for kids to learn about their climate. Our climate. The message from the mayor on how the city is trying to reach its green goals. Plus, a woman in Santa Cruz County is doing her part to get us out of a jam. And as we continue to celebrate earth week, see how shes making sure food doesnt go to waste. And ill also continue our earth week climate coverage and tonight were going to take a close look at Sea Level Rise and what could happen out here in the bay area. As we look several decades ahead. So more details on this the San FranciscoEnvironment Department held its climate in action youth summit at the yerba buena gardens amphitheater during that event. Students from across the city presented their Climate Action projects. Mayor london breed says that she hopes events like this will inspire the next generation to go green. The work that you are doing today to highlight all the challenges with Global Warming and how we, as stewards of this earth, need to make sure that we are electrifying, that we are introducing clean power, that we are getting rid of styrofoam and straws and all the things that create problem for our environment. You are helping to make that happen. So more than 1000 people, including students, teachers and Community Organizers came to that event. Well, we are celebrating earth week here at nbc bay area. Were taking a look at how we impact our planet and identified ways to improve that relationship. The way we grow and consume food is a big environmental impact. Nbcs joe rosato jr. Shows us how a woman in Santa Cruz County is doing her part to get us out of a jam. Reporter the Santa Cruz County town of watsonville may not be known as a gourmet ghetto, but in the kitchen of a closed up restaurant, Tabitha Stroup is all about creative cooking. Today we are making a pear butter with nutmeg, ginger. For stroup, a former gourmet restaurant chef, every ingredient on her cutting board is sacred. I feel like i get closer to the product, like i can feel it. I can understand it. These are blueberries from a small farmer that has two acres in corralitos. After decades working as a chef and caterer, shes now chasing a different understanding of just what is beautiful food. The berries and fruits and vegetables that i receive are what america deems not good enough. In her business, she calls terroir in a jar. Stroup is making perfect jams and preserves out of what some would call imperfect ingredients. We have such an idealistic view about food, and we demand perfection. Whereas Mother Nature never got that memo. Imperfection is what she specializes in. What stroup specializes in is taking the imperfect produce local farms cant sell, and turning it into something they can. Strawberry is only going to hold for so long, and after a summer day at a Farmers Market, they start to degrade a bit. They start to overripe in and that is where i come in, in this circle of nutrition and economy. Its starting to rock and roll now. The farms bring stroup their castoffs. She makes them into jams or other products and sells them back. The farms then get to sell their produce. But now in a different form. What was once a waste product . No revenue, all of a sudden is a year long shelf life product that speaks of their sense of place. This is an early bloom we have, and this is a crab apple in the orchards of dahle farms in the nearby town of corralitos, blackberry in the other side. Sylvia dahle and her family grow apples, berries and other treasures. Nathan gaugh west in this farm. I grew up in italy and nothing grows, but sometimes the produce the family takes to the Farmers Market doesnt sell. Its just the looks, but the flavor is very intense. And thats i tell people i said, dont look the beauty, look for flavor. And thats where stroup comes in. Finding beauty in the flavor, turning it into special jams or the roasted heirloom tomato. Produce has come into this demand of perfection, which also comes with a price point that becomes elitist. We in america grow enough produce to feed every single human being here. Three meals a day. In stroups version of a melting pot, all people get fed, all food gets used, a rugged carrot with the twists and turns is so much more dynamic than this very static, perfect looking root. The end product may just be love in a jar. Food is love. It is there to nourish and to feed, and every Single Person on this planet deserves that love. Joe rosato, junior, nbc bay area news. That is legit. Our earth week coverage continues tomorrow. In fact, we wrap it up tomorrow from the special events across the bay area to our various climate stories. It all begins at 5 a. M. And our chief meteorologist, jeff ranieri has been very busy on this earth week. Taking a look at a number of issues, including Sea Level Rise. Thats right, you guys. Were going to take you out to the beach tonight here with our augmented reality and into the future. What Sea Level Rise could look like here as we head throughout the next several decades, we hear so much about Sea Level Rise. But again, what would it mean for us here along our beaches . So lets go ahead and take a look here at the year 2040. And what we see happening with that is we could get the sea level rising up over a half foot. Then by the time we get to 2060, were talking about it going up over one foot. But where it gets dramatic is by the time we get to the year 2100, we are looking at a Sea Level Rise here that could go up over three feet. That, of course, is substantial and would set off quite a few changes here throughout the bay area. When you think about three feet of water, you know, on the surface and you put it up next to a car, lets say, i mean that in some cases would go up to the top of the tire, maybe even above. So you can imagine the impacts it would set off here across the bay area. So specifically, how would that change how we live here through the bay . Lets go ahead and show you some of the impacts. And really, when it comes to wildlife, a lot of our creatures and animals that would set off a whole new range of consequences. Second thing, areas of the bay could be completely under the water, uninhabitable. And the third thing, we would also get flooding more frequently. Now, all of these consequences certainly very scary to think about. But remember, we can mitigate this. We can make these consequences a lot less worse, worse, by acting globally, lowering that carbon footprint. Weve got all kinds of useful solutions at nbc, bay area, dot com and our continuing climate coverage there. All right, lets move it into that microclimate forecast. And well show you what we can expect here, right now on that weather as we roll through tomorrow, we have a system moving in across the west thats going to give us just a slight chance of a spotty shower. Main thing will be the wind that will start to kick up. So as we started off tomorrow morning, well have some clouds, a little bit of sun mixing in. Well need to watch out for a chance of a spotty shower here in napa county by about 230. Then it moved to contra costa, alameda counties on the eastern side by about 5 p. M. So from napa down to alameda counties, youd have the best chance of picking up a shower. Then we would see that clear out by the weekend, and sunshine will be returning. Wind gusts. I see it picking up the most tomorrow afternoon and evening, 20 to 50mph, especially for the coastal mountains. And right there through the peninsula. Wind also starts to back off through this weekend. Were going to begin here with temperatures in the low 50s to start tomorrow morning, down to 53. In San Francisco, 50 in the north bay. Daytime highs only in the 60s throughout the bay area. On my 7day forecast. San francisco stays breezy saturday and sunday, 15 to about 25, but well be dry saturday through next thursday. And for the inland valleys, sunshine 72. Saturday 74 on sunday. So as i was talking about yesterday, could be some good weather to maybe do a little barbecuing, kind of get that going. It looks it looks perfect. Good graphic on the and the rising sea levels. When you explain it like it could take you up to that wheel level right of your car, that impacts a lot. Im just thinking about oakland and San Francisco airports immediately. Yeah. And all of those communities immediately near the bay. You know, all that water has got to go somewhere. So we got to get those Greenhouse Gases down. The other thing that theyre probably and weve heard theyre looking into is shoring up all the marshland around the bay, because that can also help. We got to prep for it. Thank you jeff. Sure up next is the room in your home and your hearts for a new pet. Theres an urgent plea in new china basin park. Its on the border of the south of market and mission bay neighborhoods. Park has five acres of active open space. Sandy play area along the shoreline, a fenced off dog zone , and a garden. Its also great views of oracle park and golden gate bridge. Wow. All right, are you ready for a dog . Now might be the time. Like this weekend, Oakland Animal Services says its bursting with more than 100 adoptable dogs. Its spotlighting some of its priority pups. The shelter reduced adoption fees on all animals for the rest of the week , and its waiving adoption fees for any animal more than seven years old might be the right time. Audrey. Okay, maybe. All right. Up next, an old park in oakland getting a much needed makeover as a new Baseball Team hopes to call it its new home. Its going to call it its new home. Tell you about the progress.

A team is thinking about 1. 6 million in private investments to renovate that park, and that includes new turf and a video scoreboard. This is all leading up to the first game on june 4th, and tickets are on sale now. All right.
