Paint cans near fremont street. Sue has been following this since it happened. That is going on. They still have all lanes blocked with the c. H. P. Out there and caltran and they are estimating 6 30 before we get this open. Traffic is now stacked up behind the scene of the accident and as you might agency it is causing quite a delay coming into San Francisco this morning. We are going to take a look here at the toll plaza and this is the emeryville side. You can see at the town, they start stopping and start and stop and the drive from the tolls to San Francisco is now across the span is 30 minutes and that is only going to be increasing, so they do have the bridge open as you can see but i would take bart or, perhaps, one of the other bridges. The san mateo or richmondsan rafael. Here is a look at tolls, it is light as usual, and what a surprise if do you not know about this midspan and at a standstill or very slow crawl. Right now, full closure on the San Francisco side of the bay bridge with traffic diverted off at fremont treat with a sigalert in affect. Thank you, sue. The weather is activity but the next six hours we have few scattered light issues through the only commute and the steady rain is moving in after the morning commute is over. Hitting santa rosa at 9 00. Here is my 12hour day planner with low clouds across San Francisco from sutro tower. Lowtomid 40s. Grab the umbrella.

Kristen and eric . A she down at a South Bay Elementary School where a fight over a visit to santa could have parents pulling their kids out of school today. Matt explains. Yes, it could be an interesting day at the hty school in san jose. Many parents told me they going to pull their kids out of class in protest. They are going to take part in the annual tradition. Last night at the School Board Meeting for the School District they pled to have the annual trip to the visit for santa claus but the trip for students was canceled bit principal after a mother who is jewish found the trip to be inappropriate and not inclusive. Last night in the meeting the parents windowed the trip on and insisted it is not about religion but american tradition. All the message to my daughter is, we are celebrating a holiday that you are not part of and you are not a part of our community as much as everyone else. It is ridiculous so we are removing santa from tv and the radio and the stores . In the end the board could rescind the decision because it was not on the the agenda and many parents will not send their kids it school so the district does not get money for the attendance, they will walk to the coffee shot shop where santa is waiting for them. Thank you. A freeway shooting in the east bay forced a partial closure last night on westbound 80 in san pablo. Sky 7 shows the scene of the shooting cell phone showing police try to help the victim inside a continue anys strengths and there is the third shooting near the same exit in two months.

Back to the top traffic story, you can see the cars moving slowly in the right lane, westbound, on the bay bridge and that is where they getting through at the fremont street exit but on the left side you can see a closure there because of a problem. Paint spill and c. H. P. Officer is joining us by phone now, thank you for director time, officer, can you tell us exactly what was spilled and how the cleanup is going and about lanes opening up. Certainly. Before 4 00 we received calls from citizens reporting a flatbed pickup truck dropped they estimated 10 or 15, five gallon paint buckets before fremont at the west end of the bridge there. Our units responded and does find a large amount of white paint on the roads and closed the lanes it keep other vehicles from driving through the paint and causing further damage to the vehicles. Traffic was originally diverted off to fremont to keep the traffic from going through the lanes. As of 5 00 they have been able to open up one lane i believe the far right lane beyond the scene in the area that is not is badly covered by paint. They had enough quipment to open one lane. It will help but not alleviate the large traffic backup that has reached Treasure Island and will go back to the toll plaza if we only have one lane through the scene. Is had an estimate now of when they will get this opened up . Originally weapon the officers arrived they hoped for two hours but that was optimistic. It would be nice to. Optimistic but in terms of getting enough equipment. If there is that much payment dropped it would be quite a bit of materials needed to pick up the paint. They cannot leave it this to run into the gutters or the bay. Thank you would be an environmental has arrest. How many cars were impacted or dam by the paint . We have had a number of calls of people that drove through the payment and we have asked them to notify their insurance company. We have, i believe, at this point made contact with the owner of the pickup that dropped the paint but if folks feed to have a report we obviously cannot take it this morning our officers are busy trying to clear the traffic and we ask temperature to come to the San Francisco office later or contact their insurance company. Quickly, options for drives . Yes, obviously the best thing is to avoid the bay bridge, 92 up we or across the Golden Gate Bridge from richmondsan rafael to the Golden Gate Bridge would be helping you with the commute and save you time of sitting on the bay bridge. C. H. P. Officer, we thank you for your time. In the meantime we check with sue hall talking about alternatives and the cleanup time. He did not mention bart, you can take bart if you like.
