So and, you know, the little to take necessary time. Also want mention that is a new father to 6, but the role of my gideon. So this just make further stenson hits home that much further, which is to say that is a father.

The school was immediately put on a lockdown that was lifted at 12, 30.

Safety concerns with those driverless waymo and cruise vehicles have San Franciscos City Attorney asking the California Public Utilities Commission to pause the expansion of those 2 companies. And this comes remember after the cpu see gave its ok for unlimited expansion just last week. Kron fours dan kerman reports. One day after the cpc gave cruise and waymo the green light to expand operations. This was the scene in north beach last friday when more than a handful of driverless cruise vehicles came to a stop causing a big traffic backup. Now, San Francisco City Attorney has filed a motion asking the California Public Utilities Commission to put the brakes on that expansion. Weve seen too many reports of safety issues of incidents where the operations of First Responders have been impacts on traffic flow and public challenges around street construction. In the filing, the city of San Francisco wants to pause the unlimited expansion to give the city time to file a motion seeking a new hearing. So the cpu see can address safety issues. The city thinks were overlooked to a very much like them. To stage their expansion and tie it to safety metrics we also think the cqc should have considered environmental impacts under state law. The addition of thousands of Autonomous Vehicles on the streets of San Francisco. What that means in the filing, the San Francisco Fire Department cites 59 instances. Were Autonomous Vehicles have interfered with firefighters since april of last year. Among the incidents failing to yield to fire vehicles, blocking fire vehicles driving over fire hoses and entering active emergency scenes and getting in the way of firefighters granting an unlimited expansion at this stage. Theres probably a little bit premature. Sam abuelsamid is a transportation analyst with guidehouse insights. I really dont think the technology is really quite mature enough. 2 start putting hundreds or potentially thousands of these vehicles on the streets of San Francisco or any other city for that matter. Both waymo and cruise support. The cpu sees expansion. But in a statement, waymo says we will follow this development closely. And in the meantime, continue providing safe and accessible mobility to san franciscans. Cruz says its unfortunate to see the city use Public Resources to bypass that decision and Restricted Technology with an excellent Safety Record used by tens of thousands of San Francisco residents. The cpsc says its full panel will address the citys request to pas expansion as soon as practicable. Dan kerman kron, 4 news. Coming up tonight on kron, 4 news 8.

The hurricane was upgraded from a Tropical Storm as it turns off the Pacific Coast of mexico. Lifeguards in san diego say theyre already seeing an uptick in swells. There. Theyre closely monitoring the different pass. A hurricane might take and how the hurricane will affect the sir. I think its going to be fun. Hopefully if it gets close enough know the water really cold right now. So that night keep the hurricane coming in, hitting here long as its super windy. Unlike the surface all blue now, i think it will be weather officials are expecting heavy rain in Southern California this weekend with some rain storms and thunderstorms lasting through monday. And kron fours gayle ong is here and has been tracking the storm. Gail. Yeah, very dangerous system. Now. It has now upgraded to a category 3. You can see it here. The view from the satellite imagery, its quite incredible. And also a welldefined eye there. And that surfer is right. It may be fun, but the concern here with this is going to be amount of rain thats going to produce. Heres a closer look at where hurricane hilary is right now. So just 430 miles south of cabo san lucas, a sustained winds of 125 Miles Per Hour. And by tomorrow, expected to upgrade to a category 4. This is a projected track for now. So you can see that it eventually makes its way towards baja, california. Theres already some warnings, tropical warnings and hurricane watch in cabo san lucas. And then as it makes its way towards los angeles, its is should weaken to a Tropical Storm because the ocean waters are much colder. Now weekend, that system. So as for the pap pap is not clear right now, were still trying to refine this forecast. But we have this low pressure thats been cooling us down here in the bay area. And we have this high here in the desert and this is the project that so far. It is looking like its going inland. So places like las vegas, los angeles, fresno bakersfield can produce a lot of rain. Projected rain totals over the next couple of days from sunday through wednesday. Take a look over 2 inches of rain in l a almost 2 inches in las vegas and down a 3 south. So this is a time where we usually dont get any rain. So as for how this is going to impact us in the bay area, you can expect some cloudy skies, more muggy conditions like we have been experiencing some humidity. So here is is so the takeaways we should be feeling the impacts of hillary sometime sunday through monday. You can see already the bulk of rain moving through los angeles and then giving us some rain as well and some clouds and maybe some thunderstorms because we have been dealing with our own weather pattern here with some monsoonal moisture producing thunderstorms in the sierra temperatures. Right now were mild. So we have cooled down. Were in the 80s at this hour and we want to give you a look at your extended a forecast. We are seeing a cooling trend here. So thats good news for us inland. So more seasonable averages. The low 90s and then monday, tuesday, thats when you notice that change in the pattern. So were keeping an eye on that rain and the direction current hillary is going. Thank you, gayle. The naacp and oakland Police Officers association are among the groups calling on the city to work urgently to appoint a new Permanent Police chief. Critics blame oakland skyrocketing crime rate on a lack of stability in leadership. But today on kron, 4 news at noon, oakland mayor sheng thao says that could not be further from the truth. To say that one person gets the credit for that work of everyone in department. That that is bogus.

They can begin the changing of the culture, the culture that exists within the Police Department here with one of total disrespect racism practicing physical brutality, but really out of control no real constraints on these offices. So there wasnt any accountability. So we hope this is the first step to weekend in cannes bill to control the department. 2 of his current lawsuits against the Antioch Police department involved 5 of the officers indicted today and he was surprised that more officers were not arrested. As of now, he does not have any cases against the Pittsburgh Police department.

You can see those clouds of taking over and thats the conditions you can expect coming into tonight. But it was a hot one today and you can see livermore concord, theyre still in the 90s, but not as hot as it was over the last few days where they hit right under triple digits. A 99 degree. So about 10 degrees hotter above for lcec. San francisco in oakland was right. Around a seasonable temperatures and look at the temperature change. 12. So 12 in concord and livermore.

A statewide task force is getting millions of dollars in additional funding. But retail expert tells kron fours haaziq modyoon shoplifters wont stop until the laws changed. It is a video of a mob of shoplifters inside a Los Angeles Nordstrom that has been seen around the world. A flash mob of individuals ransacked a department store. Took more than 300,000 of merchandise. Now the california Highway Patrol is ramping up its effort to disrupt retail rings statewide with the help of additional funding for their organized Retail Task Force. Also, please announce that the governor has expanded anita, the local Law Enforcement agencies werent astounding. 85 million dollars. To help the local agencies investigate deter and disrupt retail theft crimes from occurring scenes like these may call into question whether or not the Retail Task Force is making a difference. Officials at the california Highway Patrol provided the stats showing the recovery of over 300,000 assets and over 1200 arrest. I was actually thrilled to see whats going on with the you know, cri california retailers. We introduced the original bell. To establish the organized Retail Crime Task force is back in 2018. The president of the california retailers association, Rachel Michelin applause, governor gavin newsom and state legislators for getting behind the Retail Task Force. She says the next step for lawmakers is to adjust the felony threshold for serial shoplifters. And the fact that in california we still dont have the ability to go after repeat offenders and we were not allowed to aggregate up to that 950 mark. And so part of i think what were seeing as well is people who took advantage of that and they just continue to push the envelope, you know, to retailers is important that our employees are safe. Customers are safe. Has it made kron . 4 news . Expect trips i80 to take a longer in the east bay this weekend, a caltrans, again, closing all lanes between crockett and hercules for construction.

But not everyone is on board. Capitol correspondent Eytan Wallace talked with supporters and opponents and has a look at that proposal. Well, as it stands today, many proposed local tax measures in bonds need at least twothirds approval from voters to pass. But some democrats here at the capitol say. That threshold is just too high. Get this done. Thank you. Thank you. Get this done. Thats exactly what these lawmakers and public safety, housing and labor advocates say they want to do with a ca one proposed state constitutional amendment to lower the voter threshold needed to approve general obligation, bonds and local special taxes for infrastructure and Affordable Housing projects. As it stands today, such bonds and special tax proposals need approval from at least twothirds or 66 of voters to go into effect. Ca one would reduce that approval threshold to 55 move. The supporters say will make it easier for local governments to fund much needed Affordable Housing and infrastructure in their communities. Aca, one is so important. Assembly speaker pro tem cecilia dr currie authored the proposal. This will empower local communities to take action at the local level. To improve their economies, their neighborhoods and their residents quality of life. Those here say the twothirds threshold first established from voters passed prop 13 in 1978. Its just too high. Lets stop with his anti democratic nonsense. Where 65 of residents could be in favor of something and that somehow not good enough. This is a modest proposal to bring it down to a 55 threshold. This makes common sense. It allows our local voters who want to be a part of the solution to activate their own democratic participation to do that. But on the republican side. Enough is senator janet nguyen and several of her gop colleagues in the senate and assembly say aca one is an excuse for politicians to raise taxes on californians. Were so overt acts in california. Its all about give me more money. Give me more money and then would figure it out. State has felt weve given them more money every time theyve asked, what do they do with it . Besides whatever they want to do with it, they dont actually fix the problem. They promised us. And because this is a proposed state constitutional need at least twothirds approval from the legislature to qualify for the 2024 ballot. It makes it that far. Do the voters will have the final say reporting from the State Capitol. A tom wallace kron. 4 news. And now kron 4 sports. Its one of the best days of the nba offseason schedule release day.
