Work on a permanent fix to install dozens of saddles, the purple device that you see was completed. Its done. The saddles will clamp the road deck to the bridge piers. A set of steel bolts was supposed to do that job. 32 of them ended up being broken, remember . With the work done now, the focus shifts to who will pay for this project which has gone up from an estimated 10 million to 20 million to now 25 million. The cost is coming out of our Contingency Fund right now. So its not going to increase the overall budget for the bridge. In terms of who will ultimately be paying that, theres still ongoing discussion as to who will ultimately foot the bill. Caltrans says it will continue testing other bolts on the bridge to see if there are problems with any of those. Heres a surprising figure we came across today. It is estimated that americans buy more than half a billion bottles of water every week, every week. A lot of that plastic ends up in landfills so sometimes littering the streets of the ocean. Now San Francisco is hoping to make the city the first major city to ban singleuse bottles on government property. Abc 7 News ReporterCarolyn Tyler has the story. Reporter San Francisco supervisor david chu says we are addicted to plastic bottled water, and he wants the city to kick the habit. The tea shouldnt be deriving revenue from something that is such an environmentally bad practice. Reporter hes introduced legislation he says the wean the city off the bottle. It says that on City Property whether it be inradar or outdoor indoor or outdoor, if there are accessible water sources, that you cant sell plastic Water Bottles on those steps. Reporter parts of the bill would kick in next year, others in 2016. Departments could no left winger buy bottles 21 ounce and less.

And consumers choose bottled water often to limit or eliminate the calories in their i do the, sugar, caffeine. Reporter there are several exceptions in the proposed ban. For example, marathons and sporting events would be exempt. Sau supervisor chu points to Success Stories even without a city requirement.

This is your future jam. On the dunbarton bridge, be careful of this. We have overnight roadwork that could affect your morning commute eastbound between marsh road and university avenue. Driving up 280 can be a very beautiful ride. But when cars and deer share the same freeway, it can be just as dangerous as it is pretty. Now a u. C. Study has proposed a solution to this problem 22 miles of fencing along 280 that will cost millions. Heres abc 7 News Reporter jonathan bloom. Reporter after fixing cars for decades, body shop managers can usually tell what did the damage. This is a typical accident. Youll have the deer in a frontend collision. Reporter this is the mild end of it. At freeway speeds, nine out of ten cars that hit a deer are totaled. Suspension gear, headlight, all of that is costly it repair. Reporter his shops a stones throw from the hotbed of deer collisions, highway 280 in san mateo county. Sometimes mountain lions, different animals that do happen to cross the freeway. Reporter while other freeways cut through jungles of concrete, this slashes a lush, green forest in half. A beautiful sight until man collides with nature. Road ecoalition studies that. Road ecology studies that. The professor runs the center at u. C. Davis. He spoke to us last year when they put gps collars on deer and tracked them over a period of months. With the study complete, theyve proposed a solution. An eightfoot fence on either side of the road designed to make deer cross under the freeway instead of over it. It would cost taxpayers around 4 million. The fence would flank a sprawling section of 280 centered by the Crystal Springs reservoir. The researchers found a lot of the deer make their homes here in the woods but find their food over here in peoples back yards. Theyve got their bedroom on one side, and you know, the dining room on the other. Theyre crossing back and forth. Reporter the study found deer prefer to cross under the freeway but not all of them know that underpasses exist. The fence would force them to learn. It would look kind of like the fence behind this body shop, the one that keeps people off the train tracks. He thinks the deer fence might work. It may prevent work from my door. But at least it saves the deer. Reporter caltrans still has to decide if theyll take the recommendation. In san mateo county, jonathan bloom, abc 7 news. There has been another incident involving a fake gun. Hercules police sent this picture of the gun, an exact replica of a beretta. As you see, its pretty realistic. Four boys were passing it back and forth and pointing it at cars. When police arrived, they tossed it and took off. One was later detained. The gun was described as an air soft pistol. The same brand a santa rosa teenager was carrying whether he was shot and killed by a sheriffs deputy. In this case, this air soft weapon looked like an assault weapon. In antioch today, what has become a very big deal in the east bay. The Benevolence Program as they call it. Gives new life to wrecked cars and written off cars.

Whoo reporter and now you get a sense of how the Benevolence Program, as they call it, change lives every Holiday Season by giving away formerly wrecked and nowrepaired automobiles. In the business, these cars are what Insurance Companies call salvage titles. Theyre totaled. Actually, too much for parts, too much labor to repair them until these guys volunteer their time. Cameron lewis among many others gave Early Morning and late night hours to get the cars running. Insurance companies gave money and coverage. And sol contreras, who runs the program, gave his heart and soul. This year more than 200 people wrote letter hoping for one of the cars.

The United States finds its locked in a diplomatic rift in india over the alleged arrest and strip search of an indian diplomat in new york city. He says the u. S. Authorities str stripsearched and cavitysearched her after she was arrested on charges that she did not pay her housekeeper enough money. Just 3 an hour. The Indian Deputy counsel general says she has full diplomatic immunity from these charges. Now india has revoked the privileges for u. S. Diplomats in protest. This thing has escalated. And in a highly unusual move tonight, u. S. Attorney Pree Preet Bahar said she was treated well and afforded courtesies most americans would not be under the same circumstances. After fretting for months about the federal reserves plan to taper its support for the economy, wall street cheered today when it finally happened. The dow jones average shot up more than 200 points the minute the decision was announced and continued to climb from there. The fed said today it would trim its bond purchases from 85 billion a month to 75 billion a month. But it suggested Interest Rates would remain at rock bottom levels well interest the next year. Todays policy actions reflect the committees assessment that the economy is continuing to make progress. That it also has much farther to travel before conditions can be judged normal. Bernanke says the economy is growing at a moderate pace, but that the recovery is far from complete. He also says he consulted with u. C. Economist janet yellin who was expected to take over next month, and that she supports this new policy adjustment. There was a rare outbreak of progress on capitol hill today. Dont blink or youll miss it. The Senate Passed a budget bill before the deadline. The senate voted 6436 to pass a bipartisan spending plan that the house overwhelmingly approved last week, as we reported to you. The deal would avert another Government Shutdown for at least two years. And it would eliminate about 65 billion in federal cuts known as the sequester. Lawmakers saw the spending compromise is just that this bill is a compromise, and that means neither side got everything they wanted, and both of us had to give a bit. The plan does not address some of the bigger issues like entitlement spending and taxes. It now heads to the us when where president obama is expected to sign it. A warning tonight from the Drug Enforcement administration about the emerging popularity of a new set of drugs. They come mostly from china, and you can buy them often legally on the internet. The dea says they can cause very serious harm. Abc 7 News Reporter vick lee has the story tonight on assignment 7. Its him. Reporter the war on drugs is fought mainly on the streets. Undercover cops make arrests, buy bust are their weapons of choice against dealers. Coke, crack, hair one. Reporter San Francisco heroin. This deputy says policing it can be difficult. Unfortunately, a lot of people use a lot of different drugs. Reporter now the war has evolved into a more difficult marketplace with a new set of drugs. The battles are being fought by federal agents, both on the internet where the drugs are sold openly and at airport and post offices where the drugs come in. Theyre fought by chemists in dea labs where they tried to identify their chemical compounds. The drugs are sold in small, colorful package with names like wow and purple haze. There one they call blueberry. Blue better . Blueberry yumyum. Reporter most are being produced from labs in china, india, and pakistan. The most popular are the ones that mimic bath salts and marijuana. Synthetic bath salts are stimulants that affect the Central Nervous system. Synthetic marijuana is commonly known as spice. Theyre also marketed under other labels like mr. Nice guy and barely legal. Were seeing them a lot at club parties. Were seeing them marketed in packages that are marketed specifically toward the young, to our teenagers and young adults. Rip Bruce Goldberg is with the San Francisco office of the Drug Enforcement administration. He says the Research Indicates the drugs are extremely dangerous. Taking these types of drugs can have tremendous effects on the development of young peoples brains. The purity, the strength, the side effects are all unknown. Reporter the synthetic drugs are difficult to catch. Many of them are not designated as contraband because they have chemicals that havent been banned yet by our government. Once the dea identifies that chemical through a lab analysis, the agency can then begin the process of outlawing it. But the drug producers are always trying to outsmart the dea. Its a catandmouse game. This is a way for people in the illegal drug market to try and stay one step ahead of the law by altering the chemical compound of these synthetic drugs to make new drugs that arent identified yet. Reporter the dea is making progress. Last year, federal agents won a big victory against synthetic drugs when they cracked an International Drug trafficking ring and arrested more than 50 people in the u. S. And abroad. They seized massive quantities of synthetic drugs made in china. Vic lee, abc 7 news. Coming up next, on the edge. A crane operator trapped by a ground with nowhere to go.

The back hyphen costs are importance backend costs are important, as well. Reporter go to buy a new car, and you think about the price youre about to pay. But what about how well the car will serve you in the long run . Each year, Consumer Reports crunches the numbers to find the best new car values. Just because a car is cheap to buy doesnt make it a good value. Reporter take the nissan versa. At around 15,000, its one of the least expensive cars Consumer Reports has tested. But Consumer Reports says its a poor choice. The honda fit costs more but is a better value. Its more fun to drive, more reliable, and its cheaper to own. Reporter and the Subaru Forester costs 2,000 more than the hyundai tucson. But Consumer Reports says the forester is a better value. Our value score is based on a cars fiveyear Ownership Costs when you take everything into account including insurance, fuel, depreciation, and so on. Then we factor in how a car performs and how likely it is to have problems. Reporter among the 200plus cars analyzed, Consumer Reports says the nissan armada is its worst value. It costs more than 55,000, it gets only 13 miles to the gallon. Consumer reports says it isnt very reliable and didnt score well on the test track. Even the door handles are hard to reach. The best value car, the toyota prius with its 44 miles per gallon, comfortable ride, and outstanding reliability. Large luxury vehicles get some of the lowest rating for value in Consumer Reports study. It found they guzle gas and have high depreciations and lose value quickly. Im michael finney, 7 on your side.
