Councilmembers made a late night vote a minute before midnight last night, kiet. Reporter yeah. Frank, it seems like we have been here before, you are right. Were talking about how city Council Passed tough new laws limiting the medical marijuana dispensaries. The dispensaries are fighting back. Earlier this week the city Council Voted to severely limit the 82 pot clubs in the city only allowing them to open up in the northern tip of san jose. Now, this has meant to keep them away from homes, schools and drug rehab centers. The city has been getting complaints about kids getting their hands on marijuana from pot clubs easily, sprinkled throughout the city. Warning letters are set to go out and the city expects many dispensaries to be shut down in a month or two. But wait not so fast. If you recall, two years ago, back in october 2011, the Council Voted to shut down nearly all dispensaries and allow only 10 to stay open. The medical Marijuana Community responded by turning in nearly 50,000 signatures that would have forced an expensive ballot measure to keep them open. Guess what. It worked with that many signatures gathered in a short amount of time, the city council got the message loud and clear and they repealed their own law.

Last month, bart directors approved that tentative agreement but without the provision and they are now asking Union Leaders to do the same. Riders are just asking for this to be over. I probably feel as jaded as anybody at this point but i have an option to getting into the city if i need to which works just as well as bart. Im not too concerned about it.

Were starting to see these delays now on our sensors coming out of berkeley. I had mentioned a couple of Different Things going on. The latest was an accident approaching gilman street. All lanes are now back open but there is some activity off to the righthand shoulder. So we are seeing backups as you pass ashby and those gilman exits. The accident was right around there. Westbound 580 through the Altamont Pass speeds under 25 Miles Per Hour so the commute is definitely under way if you are heading out of tracy coming off the 205 towards 580 and you can see right about north flynn and things continue to be slow towards vasco and then we finally see traffic return to the speed limit to Castro Valley and the y. Both directions between hayward foster city looking good. Over at the bay bridge no metering lights but we are starting to see some delays as you can see there far right cash lanes and maybe far left ones, as well. The middle lanes all those fastrak users, youre still good to go across the bridge. And a quick look at traffic heading towards the dublin interchange. All those headlights, its definitely starting to get crowded out there but all green on our traffic sensors and looks that way towards 238 and the Castro Valley y. A quick south bay check we have had no big incidents in san jose. So everything looks good now through downtown and 280 and the guadalupe parkway and mass transit also nothing reporting any problems.

Reporter its now in the hands of mildred dornan. But as crazy as i know how to say it reporter president of the Point Richmond history association. But it was meant for mrs. Agnes smith, written by former Navy Secretary james forestall dated february 5, 1946. The navys pride in you which it is my privilege to express to reach into your civil life to remain with you always. Reporter the problem is, agnes smith no longer lives here on oregon street and nobody knows where she went, who she is or even if she is still alive. Where the letter has been for so long is a mystery. And it never says what agnes did for the navy around the time of world war ii to earn the praise of a top military commander. I would hope that somewhere, that she is found so she can get this letter. Reporter so until someone claims the letter it will be part of Point Richmond history a lost letter that was finally found but one that never truly made it home. Brian webb, kpix 5.
