Joining us on a wednesday, im darya folsom and im James Fletcher weve got lots to cover for you this morning air quality still right there at the top of the list because thats whats impacting all of us once again today, although i have to tell you john yesterday did feel a little bit better outside yeah today even better yet guys if you liked yesterday today going to feel like a dream because its been a long time since weve seen air quality is good as were about to today walnut creek am well its a little bit foggy but its definitely not near as easy as it once was fog is pushed in across the bay and a very welcome sight because this fog is steered in some clean air from the pacific that has really done a number on the poor air quality. If youre not seeing a yellow or orange in your area on this map its because youre good or very close to normal. Those areas that are in yellow light conquered san jose in Mountain View Still Holding on to moderate conditions but a lot better than the orange and red that indicates very pour youre seeing in the Central Valley and down towards the Central Coast. This mornings temperatures, nice and cool with 50s and 60s that dose of fog in a pretty steady breeze from the coast means there is a chill to the air as youre stepping outside. Later today once the fog burns off well be looking at blue skies and really comfortable, nice conditions. Robin. All right. Thank you john now, lets check in on your morning commute and see how its moving out there the drive into San Francisco looks pretty good for now no problems or delays at the bay bridge toll plaza. But its picking up so more folks are hitting the road were looking at 8 minutes to make it into San Francisco. We have some construction which has become our new normal every morning around this time we have roadwork wrapping up in downtown oakland. So thats why we have some heavy traffic going south on 8. 80 from 9. 80 up to 5th after 5th, it starts to improve, but if you dont want to deal with the slow traffic. Take 5. 80 instead of the minutes, well check more bridges coming up back to you darya james, thanks a lot rob and 5 02 and the breaking news from overnight is in the south bay where 2 people were killed and 3 others injured in a shooting in san jose fact it happened just a few blocks away from san jose state and thats where kron fours will tran joins us live this morning. With the latest on what happened will. In fact james san jose state is just on the other side of the crime scene on those lights. Beyond that and by the all the vehicles right there that is san jose state thats how close it is to the campus. You can see this is still very much an active scene even though this took place about 7 hours ago you can see detectives with their lights shining on the ground all the evidence markers it looks like theyre focusing on that white car in the middle of the road. Theyre also walking back and forth from the left side of your screen. At that particular location there that house or an apartment building. Right now we do know no arrests in the case let me show you some video of the scene this all went down at around 10 oclock last night at this point they dont know what started this, but we do know that all together 5 people were shot. In fact 2 people died at the scene their names have not been released to the public as theyre still waiting for the Coroners Office to make a positive identification. 3 others rushed to the hospital and at last check. Those 3 people are still alive that this happened. Late last night at around 1010 30 last night when a lot of people were inside obviously with quarantine with the smoky conditions. Not a lot of people outside so those people inside they can clearly hear the gunshots. I heard 5 shots go off. They heard a bunch of screaming. Theres a couples cars skirting and i would tell my wife its kind of like shut the lights off and locked the doors. I mean sadly like kind of typical is there stuff that happens around this im not shocked by it, but its pretty crazy that like. Somebody was shot. And back live right now you can see whole bunch of investigators at the scene just to give you a little bit more of a location this is right off at 2. 80 san jose state is on the other side of this crime scene. We do know that detectives they will remain on the scene for at least another couple of hours to collect evidence hoping to talk to witnesses at this point they dont have a description of the shooter or shooters or a motive behind this double fatality, this double homicide. Back to you. Wow and will i suppose we dont know yet if theres any connection between those people who were shot and san jose state itself. No not at this point and san jose state obviously being at 10 oclock last night the campus was shut down and a lot of activities or online at this particular time so they dont believe it has anything to do with san jose state university. But of course all angles will be checked out this is an area that they hope to have Surveillance Footage or somebody can possibly step forward to let them know exactly what went down at this point again they dont know a motive behind this or even passing a description of the shooter. All right very good. Thank you will. 5 05 at the time right now a big story that were following this morning even though cases of covid are on the rise around the world over the weekend. The Washington Post reported the biggest singleday jump in cases since the pandemic started. And yet still we are reopening phases and here in the bay area new app that will see if this is a sign of things. Heading californias waiver in counties we know moving to tier 2 of the states reopening guidelines meaning that more businesses will soon be able to open indoor operations kron 4 Sarah Stinson live in marin county. With more on that sarah. Thats right after many delays and setbacks marin county does head into tier 2 today, good news for several businesses that have been eager to reopen indoors. Take a look at this map so you can see where else in the bay area is in this tier 2 category it kind of puts it into perspective, not many counties are into to that those counties are in the pink, not only moraine county but also napa San Francisco and santa clara counties bit as you saw there in the pink areas and theyre in a sea of purple dust here is the substantial risk category compared to tier one which is widespread in the states colorcoded system moving into tier 2 means these businesses can reopen indoors, including Retail Stores and indoor malls at 50 capacity restaurants museums places of worship can reopen at 25 capacity, certain personal Care Services like skincare Nail Services they can resume indoors. Well gyms can reopen but as weve learned from San Francisco only at 10 capacity as well as movie theaters but they can reopen at 25 capacity we talked with one movie buff who cant wait to watch a flick on the big screen. However the excited and then we have the plan here we get free spirit taking every month in the effort is to come here but and has been a to done but order to fix it to come there. It is exciting these are things we havent been doing for half of the year 2020 has been definitely interesting now the counties that remain in tier 2 for at least 2 weeks they can reopen schools without that whole application process and that could happen as soon as september 29th from Warren County if all goes well if those coronavirus cases remain low enough now its going to be an exciting day for some of these Business Owners who have been trying to be patient during this time live all over the place marin county so make sure to check back in with me in the morning for now live in Murray County Sarah Stinson kron 4 news, thanks a lot of sarah. Well covid19 case numbers continue to fall across california. The state was officially removed from new york, new jersey and connecticuts mandatory 14 day quarantine list for travelers. California was first added to that list back in june. The statewide Positivity Rate is down to 3. 6 over the last 2 weeks and an average rate of 7. 7 cases per 100,000 people and you can see on the graph weve done a great job in bringing that Positivity Rate down over the course of the last couple of months, were also tracking local coronavirus cases as well so far the state has recorded more than 768,000 cases with more than 14,000 deaths across the bay area there are more than 93,000 reported cases in nearly 1300 deaths again associated to covid19 a new ucsf study could help open up businesses that have been closed because of the pandemic. Ucsf doctors created a covid Contact Tracing app called covid seeker doctors are looking for people who have tested positive for coronavirus and for people who have never had the virus to sign up for this app. Were further trying to do here is to understand you know when and where people might have been you know infected to be able to develop no more preventative measures to those areas near with this type of we potentially can capture it in real time and be able to know i doubt those policies and you know based on on these patterns of transmission. See this is interesting because remember fauci was saying just a couple of days ago that they when they looked at all the data it was dining out within the previous 2 weeks that was traced to like double the risk or something a big increase in a risk of having coronavirus so this is the type of thing that this app would help to pinpoint is how people coming into contact with others and getting infected. We have directions on how you can sign up for that app on kron 4 dot com. All right now turning our attention to the wildfires. Creek fire. The one burning in Fresno County has burned more than 220,000 acres now and you can see on the graphic on the right, its now 18 contained other major wildfires burning at the moment in the state include the august complex fires in mendocino and humboldt counties the north complex fires in butte county and the eldorado fire burning in Riverside County closer to home. We have a map showing the fires that are burning in relation to the bay area you can see they really do canvassed the entire state more than 3 million acres in the golden state has burned now with more than 4200 structures destroyed in the fires all across Northern California at least 35 people as well have also died. Now in terms of our local wildfires. We are inching closer to full containment thats the good news, the lnu complex fires in the north bay now 98 contained the scu complex fires in the east and south is also 98 contained this morning. The czu complex fires in san mateo and santa cruz counties or 93 contained and the woodward fire at Point Reyes National seashore in marin county is now 95 contained. Now to breaking news along the gulf coast Hurricane Sally has made landfall. Its a category 2 hurricane. Landing at the Florida Panhandle and South Alabama about a 150,000 homes and businesses dont have electricity. And the right now and you can well see cash that looks. Thats one of the scariest pictures ive seen. Look at how strong the winds are sally rapidly strengthened, as it approached land. Rising to that cat to wind speeds a 100 miles per what part of the country just cannot catch a break the gulf coast. Dealing with storm after storm it were going to have much more on this coming up in just a minute in fact still ahead on the kron 00 04am morning news. We have some Kamala Harris also returning to california to tour our natural disasters. Well the wildfire damage. Her stance on the ongoing debate about Fire Prevention were going hear some of her thoughts and after the break bay area restaurants are opening up their outdoor patios as the air quality gets a little bit better were going hear from Business Owners who are course glad to see less smoky skies. John yes, all of us good to see that james big improvements today to with much cleaner air quality all across the region. This means a good chance to get outside and enjoy some sunshine 70s and 80s that will have later today. And its time to pack up roll out head to work and the traffic is off to a pretty good start were checking in on your bridges which are filling in. Heres a live look at 92, a little busy levy hayward but no big problems more bridge checks coming up. 5. 15 right now and wow could you feel the difference yesterday we finally got a break that you could actually smell were left there and it wasnt smoky. Yeah, you know write i i was breathing a lot better yesterday and i saw us up which which is also helpful, yeah and you can see the green that yeah green means good green means good and but you know what you cant understate how important is be able to see the sun and the clear skies just emotionally just instant shot of just like i think youre going to be a urging down yeah, i know i know, and just in time for the air quality will improve bay area restaurants, more of them. Have outdoor seating now. They had to shut down because of the unhealthy hair air. So they get to reopen those that close because of bad air and those that were closed because of covid for example in marin county. There there were more more businesses getting to reopen today so in San Francisco you can see people out yesterday i like monks enjoying the businesses were in desperate need because you know if its not one thing its another. And a 3rd of us of what we were doing for sales basically last week which is this hurting because were only half of sales before this i have been glad to be that people are able to come and then when you take that away then you really dont have much very much at all so you know were just hanging on right now. With what weve got. Despite the improvement in the air quality there is still a spare the air alert and so this this is the 30th were talking about sending 30 today. Why would there still be a spare the air alert john if the air quality look so much better on the map well its a perspective guys this yeah, its like really good for most of the bay right now, but there are a couple of moderate spots still for inland areas. And anything that were putting up is going to drift into the Central Valley which is still in the midst of some horrible air quality so we dont want to add any more pollutants to the bad situation that theyre still seeing out there. So got to take care of her neighbors to even though we are looking at a much improved situation, San Francisco you are seeing fog this morning that is not smoke but rather that clean fog that pushed in swept down all the smoke, the past 24 hours. Yesterday. We started at the coast today bayside and even some of our inland spots are looking a whole lot better. If you in a yellow orange or red hue its because were good or very very close to good. Well you can also see red and orange for the Central Coast and the Central Valley indicating poor air for some of our neighbors towards the interior the state now why are they still seeing such bad air quality well that delta breeze is helping sacramento out and some of our western end of the Central Valley areas but theyre still wildfires burning in the Sierra Nevada and all that smoke is still settling down, especially into the western slope of the sierra and thats our concern moving forward because we are in the midst of a nice on shore flow that will continue through tomorrow friday but relaxes on saturday and will actually be replaced by an offshore flow bringing that hot dry air and smoky air from our inland valleys back out our direction towards the close of the weekend. So enjoy this break from that poor air quality that we have been seeing as these winds do continue to push in some clean air because it looks like we could be seeing a turn for the not so good come early next week, 60s and 70s for daytime highs in San Francisco and elsewhere right along the coastline today, 70s and 80s for your daytime highs for bayside and our inland areas with Mountain View at 79 today south bay temperatures in the upper 70s to low 80s, san jose 80 degrees. Well 70s from fremont to hayward 80s in Pleasanton Livermore dublin on up to walnut creek and concord berkeley youll be at 72 this afternoon with oakland a very nice 76. And hey you can actually get outside and enjoy that 76 with the much improved air that we have been seeing. Tomorrow and friday temperatures will be a little bit cooler even as we do look at that continued breeze from the pacific helping us out a whole lot with the air and keeping temperatures moderated saturday winds relax so well start to see the window opening for some warmer and drier air as well smoky air from our inland valleys, pushing back out our direction which i anticipate will have an impact on our air quality, especially come sunday and monday. Robin. All right, thank you john were checking in on the morning commute which is off to a really good start heading into the north bay starting off with the richmond sandra fell west 5. 80 leading up to the pay gates, its doing fine 7 minutes off to one on one, so no problems there busier traffic heading into San Francisco a live look at the bay bridge toll plaza warmer folks are rolling in this morning, but no big problems were averaging 8 minutes to fremont street and the golden gate, the only bridge thats under a dense fog advisory from chp so take it easy across the span youll definitely the headlights 19 minutes novato to San Francisco and our usual roadwork wrapping up in downtown oakland that has traffic jammed up southbound from 9. 82 5th, after that the rest of the trip into san leandro is looking good james. All right, thank you very much robert 5. 21 with senator Kamala Harris returning to california yesterday to survey the damage left by wildfires in Fresno County. Harris was joined as you can see here by governor Gavin Newsome in her first trip back as the democratic Vice President ial nominee. Her visit comes a day after trump was in the state for briefings on the fires and in that visit the president rejected the Scientific Consensus that Climate Change is exacerbated californias wildfire situation. In contrast. Harris says that we must do more to combat Climate Change it is incumbent on in terms of the leadership of our nation. It takes seriously the extreme changes in our climate. And to do what we can to mitigate against the damage. But also what we must do. That we have inherited from prior generation. Well, heres added that the Climate Crisis cant be detached from the other crises of public health. The economy and systemic racism. Well take a break its 5. 22. A minute as we go well give you a quick live look outside weve got our camera here at the bay bridge toll plaza work. It looks pretty good right now, but rob and listen in the Traffic Center is keeping an eye on the building commute on this wednesday morning to let us know where things are slowing down well be right back. Were for those who love to discover. Who know an open mind is the only kind. Who dont need to travel to find something new. Who know where to escape, even just for a moment. Who dont need a fortune to find a gem. And who know when you spend less, you can discover even more. And never, ever stop discovering. Spend less, discover more. At t. J. Maxx, marshalls, and homegoods. 5. 25 in national news, we are now less than 50 days away from the election and President Trump is trying to sway undecided voters in a town hall anchored by abc news, george stephanopoulos. The president took questions from people about coronavirus specifically he was asked why he did not support a National Mask mandate. A lot of people dont want to wear masks are a lot of people think the masks are not good. And there are a lot of people that as an those people well ill tell you who those people are. Waiters they come over and they serve you and have a mask and i saw it the other day where they were serving me and theyre playing with a mask, im not blaming that i would just say what happens theyre playing with a mask and so the mask is over and there. A touching it and and then theyre touching the plate and that cant be good. There are a lot of people if you look at doctor fauci is original safe when you look at a lot of people cdc you look at a lot of peoples original statement. They said very strongly george dont wear masks then all of a sudden they want to wear masks. Incorrect they started not knowing that they should wear masks and then the entire medical world upon discovering how the virus spread changed and said definitively that we all Must Wear Masks if were going to stop coronavirus from spreading. But the president went on to discuss the town hall meeting how in his words, he said herd mentality was going to help and they think that he meant herd immunity which would have to be way above. Like 50 of us would have to get it which would mean probably well millions of deaths here in california of course were seeing our numbers start to fall. So were happy about that but worldwide the coronavirus is still surging were going to have more on what was said in that town hall coming up in our 6 oclock hour james, all right. Now 5. 27 well take a quick break but coming up next after the break were going to play how the city has managed to keep positive coronavirus cases low during this pandemic so wel jean, did you know geico is now offering an extra 15 credit on car and motorcycle policies .

Yeah just makes you feel better. Its amazing how much the sun has an impact on our spirits and good to see thats for sure i was still afraid of the air quality john just because before you said it doesnt matter like if you dont smell smoke the good of a little i keep monitoring the maps i know even some of our days that we have had worse air quality. You havent smelled it so i completely understand that tory ive been looking at the maps to just double checking is a really this good it really because at this point its been 2930 days to spare the air alerts. Thats just in our nature now. But yesterday was so much improved and today even better yet so get out there and you truly enjoy this afternoon that were about to see walnut creek this morning skies are a little bit cloudy. We do have some clouds that have pushed in overnight. Those sweeping clouds and fog that is pushing across the bay. Helping us out a whole lot with this air quality and why the bay area really getting spared the worst air that hey were still seeing for interior valleys today. I mean look at there still red and orange shoes theyre just not in our neck of the woods, its for Central Valley in our Central Coast neighbors. You see here in the bay area if youre not seeing a shade on the map thats because youre good or either very close to good. And thats a whole lot of us only a little bit of moderate for areas like conquered, san jose and Mountain View and not a huge step forward 60s 50s for your current temperatures with oakland at 67 right now berkeley at 62. Fairfield right at 60 degrees mild start to the day we do have a pretty generous sea breeze that is making it feel a bit more brisk, so id go ahead put the jacket on robin. All right, lets check in on the commute, its doing fine by the way into San Francisco so with 80 west as a part of your drive its fine, no problems into San Francisco where a hot spot free but its definitely picking up so as we continue through the hour well see more folks rolling in the right now were only a 10 minutes for your average off to fremont street and a little bit of a backup that we had on them, getting better. We have late road work and its been happening every morning 80 south between 9. 80 and 5th so as they pick that up and it should be gone soon. Its a little slow between those 2 points all 24 minutes there to make it from downtown oakland to 38 and the northbound side which is the commute direction is doing just fine james darya all right robin. Well one of the big stories. Were following out of the east bay is that the Berkeley City Council approved a new hiring policy for the citys Police Department in an effort to try and prevent abuse of officers from being hired by the city. Kron fours reyna harvey is live in berkeley with the details rana. And good morning. So why this is so significant is because weve seen similar legislation at the state level fail so what this does is this prevents an officer who maybe was fired. Because of misconduct in one jurisdiction. Not be allowed to be hired by the berkeley Police Department and they really got that inspiration from a resolution out in San Francisco, they were considering that out there as well. Now data shows that rehiring of officers from other agencies who have previously been fired for misconduct is more common than most people realize the resolution is called no police or of all door and unanimously the Council Voted on that overnight. Now the resolution is just one part of a broad effort that the Berkeley City Council has initiated to combat Racial Disparities in policing like i mentioned state why theyve tried to pass similar legislation and that is not been successful so local City Council Members are saying this is a big win for them in a step to stop the revolving door when it comes to policing for now reporting here in Berkeley Marina harvey kron 4 news all right, thank you very much 5. 33 is the time and happening today more businesses are allowed to reopen in Contra Costa County. Personal Care Services that involved close contact can operate outdoors that means things facial and eyebrow waxing tattooing piercing electrolysis. No actually theres tattooing and piercing electrolysis you cant do that. You do personal contact like i guess grooming. Hair salons things like that. Racetracks card rooms they can operate outdoors you cards outdoors music tv film productions. They can resume doing work. And then as we know sports are allowed without anybody watching. So sports can start again in Contra Costa County outdoorsy. Also in the east bay, the city of berkeley has managed to keep positive coronavirus cases low during the pandemic and city leaders say its all do to frequent testing now the city recently opened a drivethru testing site at the North Berkeley bart station and so far more than 1300 people have gotten tested. The city spokesperson says the drivethru system has helped because people do not need to wait outside in the bad air. With air quality one of the things that we liked about the drivethru process is that people can do it within their own car. There was a very minimal amount of air coming in. Well the test is free for all berkeley residents, whether they have Health Insurance or not appointments are booked online and results could be available. They say within just 2 days. The test site will be open until october 2nd. The time San Francisco businesses are continuing to operate indoors. Were not were learning that not all the covid numbers are trending in the right direction, kron fours dan kerman explains. Well calling the reopening of indoor hair salons and gyms a huge step. San Francisco Mayor london breed is warning residents bad behavior will slow further reopening and could lead to the closure of these businesses once again. We dont want to turn back the clock. So i know those businesses are going to be working hard to stay open. Theyre going to be following the guidelines and we need your cooperation to and not only supporting these businesses and following the guidelines within those following the guidelines outside of your everyday life and the mayor has good reason for concern. One key indicator continues to move in the wrong direction. Hospitalizations started declining in august but in september. They started rising again now increasing 29 we will get through it is going to require a lot of each and every one of us. And so i ask you to continue. To do your part. And to remember what you do impacts me when i do impacts to the number of new daily cases is also a concern in San Francisco. While theres been an overall decline since july. The number of new daily cases remains in the red zone, San Francisco averaging 61 new cases a day. For us to continue reopening San Francisco to carefully add limited Indoor Services to bring children back into classrooms to rebuild our economy as safely as possible. I have to remain in our fight against this virus. And city Officials Say that means more handwashing more maskwearing more social distancing and limited outdoor gatherings. In San Francisco dan kerman kron 4 news. And while the news is good that more businesses are allowed to reopen millions of americans remain out of a job relying on unemployment House Speaker nancy pelosi says the house will remain in session and lawmakers are going to get another round of covid relief on the way. Speaker called pelosis comments come as moderate democrat signed on to a proposed one and a half trillion dollar rescue package endorsed by a bipartisan caucus. This package contains many elements of the covid packages devised on both sides of the aisle, but it is 2 trillion package cited by pelosi. The proposed plan could be introduced today. Well take a break or 5. 38, but still ahead on the kron 4 morning news some gym owners in california are challenging the states covid19 guidelines that keep their health clubs closed. Well tell you what theyre what theyre planning to do is youre facing bankruptcy. And also coming up next to san leandro officer being charged with fatally shooting a black man inside of a walmart hes denied bail but more details on that coming up after the break and in the years first air quality goes today so step out there this morning get that job gain and enjoy what will be a very nice afternoon too with 70s and 80s for your highs.

On the east bay, a man is dead after Highway Patrol says the tried to run across interstate 8. 80 and was hit by a car. That crash happened monday night again on 80 right near 7th street. The exit there in oakland chp says that isaac orton was hit after trying to run from the Center Divider across all lanes of traffic. The driver of the car involved pulled over and called 911 the chp is now asking anyone with information to give them a call. Well take a break here 5. 42 we continue to monitor the air quality across the bay area we much improved conditions. Yesterday although were still looking at awfully bad air all along the west coast of the United States as you can see here we have much more on todays forecast and what the weekend holds coming up in just a so youre a small business, or a big one. You were thriving, but then. Oh. Ah. Okay. Plan, pivot. How do you bounce back . You dont, you bounce forward, with serious and reliable internet. Powered by the largest gig Speed Network in america. But is it secure . Sure its secure. And even if the power goes down, your connection doesnt. So how do i do this . You dont do this. We do this, together. Bounce forward, with comcast business. 5. 45 right now and we want to check out the weather cfour going to see a little sunshine again today that the night when you think john i think so guys were going to be seeing a lot more of it in fact after our fog does burn off this morning, a foggy start at sfo and watch out for some low visibility, especially closer to the coast. And then in the east bay foothills, what we are seeing though thanks to this fog is much better air just take a look at where were sitting almost all the bay area back to good or very close to normal just a couple of pockets of moderate to watch out for there. Its our inland areas towards the Central Valley that are still dealing with the smoke so keep them in mind and if you are heading up into the sierra the next few days dont expect near as good of conditions as what were seeing here in the bay as weve seen a nice breeze from the ocean cleaning things out the sweeping winds we had been waiting for will continue to look at these winds pushing in from the coast in the days to come with especially clean air looking likely thursday and friday with the potential a couple of drizzly spots near the in the north bay come friday as well all this relaxes into saturday. Were still like that have good air quality saturday. But on sunday an offshore breeze is going to take that smoky air from the sierra and the Central Valley, likely putting a close throughout our direction so enjoy the nice air. Well weve got it. You do see a pretty steady wind from the coast coming in this morning. So id say put on that jacket if youre going to be outside for more than just a few minutes with a brisk feel to that foggy morning air 60s and 70s for coastal spots for our daytime highs well elsewhere in the bay area were looking at 70s 80s temperatures right around the same as they were yesterday Mountain View at 79 for the high temperature. South bay temperatures back into the low 80s for cupertino campbell and san jose east bay temperatures 70s to a tease for you as well with 77 in hayward oakland Beautiful Day at 76 degrees. I really hope you get out there and enjoy that say that 70s for or east bay areas but 80s up in the north bay getting close to the 90s for vacaville and fairfield but remaining below that mark for yet another day, a look ahead at your next 7 days your last 6 days of summers fall kicks off on tuesday. And things are overall looking pretty good id say your best days to enjoy will be today tomorrow friday even saturday sunday as i mentioned could get dicey again as far as air quality goes. Robin. Thank you john lets check in on the traffic heading into San Francisco. It is much heavier now at the bay bridge toll plaza and i just got word of a new crash. Thats not gonna help this is westbound 80 right at Treasure Island we have chp responding to an accident. Thats blocking the right lane so its backed up along the eastern span through the meeting lights here at the pay gates beyond the 80 overcrossing and now its slow from west grand all the way up to the scene of that crash still 60 minutes and growing into San Francisco. No crashes here but some busier traffic on the san mateo bridge. Its packed on the flat section but under 20 minutes to the peninsula.
