It took a long time and a lot of repairs but no officials at the transit bay say the area is safe. There are dedicated lanes that brings passenger straight to the bus deck so they dont have to navigate through busy San Francisco streets, saving time for commuters. It wasnt all these issue crossing the bridge but getting off the bridge into the terminal. That could out as much is 15 minutes to a commuters time, simply jostling through the traffic. That no longer is an issue. We go directly from the upper deck to the bay bridge here onto the deck and here again, we hope to see at least a 10 minute savings in time. Reporter we talked one man who got off one of these buses and he said he wasnt sure where to go and the good news is there are street ambassadors here so if you are a passenger with any questions, there are people at the Transit Center to answer those questions for you.

She says she called the police and the lyft driver was arrested. At some point, the lyft driver made the decision to take her then back to his residents in tracy. People need to be aware of the fact that if you are impaired beyond the point of being readily able to care for yourself, then that creates a consensus under which you can be taken advantage of.

Ever and hes about 10 minutes from a wyndham. With over 6,000 Hotels Across the country, a great hotel by wyndham is closer than you think. Vit wyndhamhotels. Com. Welcome back. It is now 7 14. The list of mayors calling for National Legislation on gun control is growing after mass shooting cingular, el paso and dayton. There are now 249 u. S. Mayors who signed a letter demanding the u. S. Senate return to work and pass bipartisan gun safety laws including 21 may areas bay area mayors. There are two bills that passed the house last friday. Mornings on 2 will be talking with san joses mayor, sam ricardo. He signed that letter and will get better ideas on better control of firearms and who he thinks should not be able to own a firearm. The time is 70 14. So far, Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell is not calling back lawmakers from the august recess to debate gun control but Many Democrats promise to make gun conol their top priority when they come back next month. Several democratic president ial candidates spent the weekend demanding that the white house take on the National Rifle association and several of the candidates plan to support reinstating the ban on assault weapons that expired 15 years ago. President trump says he asked w she supports expanding background checks on guns and talked with an array leaders. He believes the nra will support new gun control legislation. Chuck schumer wants more legislation that will require the fbi to approve the sale of body armor to civilians. Senator say body armor should be restricted to Law Enforcement or military use. He says right now anyone can buy a bulletproof vest online for under 200. We have seen body armor be used far more frequently by these mass killers and potential mass killers so im hopeful that this kind of proposal would not get much opposition. I hope that the administration would support it as well. You will remember the gunmen that opened higher in dayton, ohio was wearing body armor. Time now, 7 16. New york medical examiners have completed an autopsy on Jeffrey Epstein, the wealthy financer who died in his manhattan jail cell over the weekend. We have not heard anything about the autopsy results. Epstein was found unresponsive in its cell saturday morning. He had been accused of sex trafficking pick he could have received up to 45 years in prison if convicted. He was put on a suicide watch almost 3 weeks ago after being found in his cell with marks on his neck. The suicide watch had been lifted but guards were supposed to be checking on him every 30 minutes. That, apparently, did not happen. We find it very hard to believe that he would be allowed to commit suicide especially when he was on suicide watch from just a few days ago. Jeffrey epsteins death came 1 day after the new York Federal Court unsealed thousands of pages of documents alleging new information of sexual abuse claims against epstein and several associates. President trump is getting backlash for retreating a Conspiracy Theory that claimed the clintons were somehow involved in ebsteins death. Kellyanne conway defended the president. This is all speculative and not for me to go further than where the doj and fbi are but you do hear different people asking questions and they want to know who else was involved in ebsteins crimes or even just activities. Epstein has been linked to a number of high profile figures including President Trump, former president , clinton and britains prince andrew. The time is 7 15. Allie rasmus, you are watching the commute and you have good news about 680 . South on 680 at calaveras where the vegetation fire had one lane closed down, firefighters responded and all lanes are open. There is still a significant back up there because of it. You can see it on the traffic map here extending all the way up to dublin, 580680 interchange, 84 from livermore also still very congested. If you want to get around it, i suggest even though it is a roundabout way, you should definitely consider taking 5a to hayward and 238 all the way down to fremont and bypassing this because it will take a while for this commute to recover even though all lanes southbound succeeding calaveras are open. Elsewhere in the south bay, a report of a collision northbound 101 just north of capital expressway. Not too bad of a backup but hopefully, that gets moved out of the way. There are two vehicles involved. 880 in oakland, this is pretty open and clear for this time of the morning. No major problems to tell you about an smooth sailing until you get to the toll plaza.

The measure calls for stronger age restrictions to keep teenagers and children from baking vaping. A middle School Teacher is at the center of controversy drawing attention. Last week, the teacher, Louise Alvarado gave a handout called the gender unicorn to a student double the students designed is parting a getting to know you exercise. It asked questions such as what is your gender identity. Seventh graders are educated about gender identity and sexual preference but School Administrators ordered the teacher to put away the handout after getting complaints from parents. It was not appropriate in the way the handout looked and it looked like it needed to be filled out and so it was just probably the wrong tool. There are a lot of people who wont get a. We understand and respect that but maybe next time, the district superintendent pointed out the teacher never informed his superiors before giving the worksheet to his students.

Breaking news in san jose where just moments ago, mayor sam ricardo announced a proposal to require all gun owners in the city to carry Liability Insurance. The mayor joines is a life from city hall. Thanks for being us with us, mayor ricardo. Good morning. This would be the first legislation of its kind for a city, outline what you want to see . Well, as we all know, if we are going to be using a car, we need insurance. We know that the use of a firearm is inherently dangerous as well. So the mandate would be that all gun owners would also have to carry Liability Insurance. If not able to access insurance on the market, we would ask them to pay a fee that would help compensate taxpayers for the cost of gun violence that is currently being borne by all of us. Is your goal to deter people from buying guns by making them too expensive as we have seen with cigarettes . We have seen that insurance can be part of a Harm Reduction strategy. The idea is that Insurance Companies can incentivize people to engage in safety behavior, for example, like taking gun safety classes, ensuring the gun has a child proof safety lock on a. Those kind of actions, the same way they incentivize good behavior, might also increase of a 19 yearold is trying to buy a semi automatic in a location, the law currently allows it. That is exactly the Insurance Companies can do to help reduce harm. We know not all Insurance Companies will do this so we are offering the public option as well. How do you answer the concern that your proposal does nothing to address illegal guns which are used in the majority of Mass Shootings, essentially some mites your call as a attack on legal gun owners to pay largely for the actions of people who own and use gods guns illegally. In the state of california, there are penalties for driving without insurance so we would adopt those same kinds of penalties and fines that you see in the vehicle code contacts context so if an officer sees a gun in plain view or find it during a Fourth Amendment search, the gun obviously can be seized and the individual can be find. We recognize the bad guys are not going to follow the law. But this gives Law Enforcement one more tool where the bad guys have a gun and they havent followed the law. What are your next steps in making this happen . We are going to be launching what we call a nexus study that will help us assess the total public cost of the harm of gun violence. For example, the cost of hospital emergency care, police response, etc. After we aggregate that, we will be able to calculate a fee that would be appropriate to impose in the city. We know that we are not suddenly going to stop and violence with this measure but we are going to stop paying for it. Mayor sam liccardo, i would like to move to another topic. The city council is taking up the issue tomorrow of preventing landlords saying they will not rent to people was section 8 housing arches. What you want to take that choice away from san jose landlords . Landlords still have the ability to use other criteria, for example, Credit History and income that could enable them to distinguish who they would want to open an apartment to and who not, nothing changes in that regard but the problem we have today is nearly 1000 people are in the city of san jose with federal vouchers being , federal money that could pay their rent and are homeless and we could help get an awful lot of folks off the street and into apartments if we are able to take advantage of that money that is sitting there for us and get those folks in apartments and essentially eliminate the discrimination against those tenants who have vouchers. It is a money issue or a welcoming neighbor in san jose issue . It is both. We have a homelessness crisis like every big city in the west coast and it doesnt help when we have 1000 people out there with the ability to pay for an apartment and landlords unwilling to accept them because they dont want the voucher. We need to do more to make it easy for the landlords to take the voucher but part of it is, lets eliminate discrimination at the front end. Sam liccardo joining us live as you do every month.
