You can see the hay, straw, and netting over the field to prevent any further erosion. This is just a bandaid approach we do not know what will happen moving forward. That is why they plan to monitor this throughout the weekend as well as the thousands of residents who have told me the hotter it rains their anxiety level goes up. What is point to happen is that the mudslide will be absorber and prevented from sliding into the streets. There is a place for the pipe burst sending 45,000 gal. Of water down the hillside they did not put in the netting or thing there to prevent erosion. If it does come down it should just go around the trees like we saw of the past couple of days.

Keeping our eyes outside this morning as we are tracking the storm moving over us today. Well get to more on that in a moment but first the most pressing matter is the hot spot at the bay bridge. The rain did not help this morning with the traffic around the bay area. The four accidents at the bay bridge all in a short span is what really backed up this ride. It slammed traffic all over the east and north bay as well as the peninsula. Were back up well into the macarthur maze on 580 and highway 24 on 880 northbound as well as westbound. Slow traffic coming out of the maze. Highway 24 is backed up nearly 2 highway 13 in the westbound direction. Were still looking for 45 minutes drive times for the east shore freeway. Were finally starting to pick up some sort of a break. The san mateo bridge it is still a mess. The ride is stopped in the westbound direction. It is backed up nearly 2880 on 92 westbound. Its decision normal commute route, forget about it this morning. Had been said to the dumbarton bridge. The traffic maps show slot other slow traffic this morning the nimitz commute through hayward out of hay were rather sit through san leandro and to oakland and your 880 and to cross the bridge on 92.

The seven peninsulas are catching a dry break it is not currently raining over the san rafael bridge or highway 84. The system is approaching from the south and is pushing its way north. It was running along the peninsula and all the wet weather is now on the east bay. Expect delays for the east shore freeway. Concord and walnut creek into San Ramon Valley it is green on your screen which indicates relatively light rain in nature. A lot of viewers have said it is more like a heavy sprinkle. This fellow moderates a heavy rain is just over 580 at 980 in oakland. Allow yourself a little bit of extra time we will continue to see on and off showers throughout the rest of the day into the weekend as well. Temperatures are not too bad everyone is in the upper 50s. Later on today we will warm to the 60s. 63 for fear fill concord 61 in downtown San Francisco.

We have the potential for another system of third one that will Impact Communities north of the Golden Gate Bridge. The timing is a little uncertain but it could affect monday and tuesday. We have the potential for wet weather as we transition into the work week. Taking a look your extended forecast, i do when a ring of food should future cast for this is a wider view of Northern California. A lot of rain to contend with the check out the sierra. I do not think well see much in a way of snow but it will be rain snow mixed. It will be too warm quite frankly. We will not see too much snow at lake level may be in and says the head into sunday.

All the equipment and signaling an train equipment have been damaged and destroyed. It is still being repaired. Two stations under water, literally. Yesterday we tells about the popular Ride Sharing Services being fined 20,000 each for Public Safety violations. Kron4 reporter gabe slate had a chance to meet with one of those services to get their reaction. Ride sharing services are catching on like wildfire fire. They seem like a good choice to Public Transportation. The Companies Offering this all have different ways of making this work and collecting money for the drivers. The cofounder of left one of the Ride Sharing Services was slapped with a citation and a 20,000 fine. The consumer adoption has been incredible. That gets the attention of people. I think that there are questions that people dont understand exactly what they are doing. It is a new invention. These services are Charter Party carriers and have to obtain a authorization before operating in the state. And this citation it claims that we are Charter Party character carrier. We are not a Charter Party carrier. We are platform of people that offer ride to people that need it rides. We do not on the vehicles. It is made pretty clear that there trying to put us into a box that we dont fit. Catching a ride with them is as safe as any Transportation Service now. A milliondollar excess liability policy that is greater than the 750 requirement that the pc has on the agencies that they do regulate. We do a criminal background check. They do not have that as a requirement of the agencies that they regulate. We have strict criteria related to that. They require a dmv record check but they do not have criteria on what is acceptable or not with the entities that they regulate. I think it is very clear that we believe strongly in safety and we go above and beyond and the existing Transportation Providers are required to do. I spoke with the commission and they said they have legitimate reasons for doing this. There trying to keep the publics face. They believe and what theyre doing here. At these companies do not pay or repeals they will face fines and we will have to wait and see how this plays out. It will be interesting to see what happens. I will keep you informed. Coming up the latest on the bay bridge. Take a quick look here the ride is still backed up solidly into the macarthur maze. Big headache for the morning commute.

All of the weather traffic and how they folks colliding this morning. A recent stall at the bay bridge. This is the worst bay bridge morning i have ever seen. I cannot remember a day that there have been five incidents on the span of a few hours. It is almost completely backed up and you notice traffic once again is not moving at the toll plaza. They really cranked the metering lights down to a very slow rate again. That is because there is yet another stall on the upper deck. It is not uncommon when the backup is really grow to start seeing more and more stalls. What happens is people enter the commute with less than enough gas and invariably if they set for release on time in the backup they will get caught on the span and run out of gas. That happens frequently on really bad days like this one. That is exactly what were seeing. Multiple stalls as conditions continue to deteriorate. The east shore freeway ride have started to pick up here and it is a little less but better but it is mostly slow. As we switch to the traffic maps you will see that there is a short break and the backup here. It reaches all the ways to highway 4 and the westbound direction. It is just no longer a solid backup. The san mateo bridge has been a problem as well. Westbound traffic at a standstill with a 25 minute and hire drive times for the san mateo bridge. That is just to get from the toll plaza 21 018 does not include the time waiting on 92 westbound coming over from 880.

Also they brought out heavy machinery over the past couple of days. They recently carved out lanes and channels so all of the rain flow will flow directly into it. This is just a bandaid approach we will see what happens moving forward. Were hoping for a dry spell. Theyre not trying to make any permanent repairs because this is the rainy season.

We still do not have the answer to that. male announcer Stanley Roberts found some people behaving badly. Back in july of 2012 i did this segment. Here is the problem. People are stealing community transfers and reselling them. Not just one transferred, they are still in the entire book. When i did this story theyre stealing people stealing transfers which is not illegal. I could not actually catch someone on tape. That was then, this is now. For the record i was looking for Something Else until. This guy decided to sell them pretty much right smack in front of me. It caught my undivided attention. He revealed himself to me saying hey stanley remember me from the world series selling tickets . And the down time he met moved over to selling community transfers despite the fact it is illegal to buy or sell transfers. The interesting part i think he realized he should have stayed mixed in with the crowd because apparently he was trying to get as far away as he could for me. Now that he had my undivided attention he was now under the microscope. The people behaving badly microscope. Just when he thought all was well, back to trying to sell transfers. To be fair he never actually ask for money he would simply present the transfer and ask for a donation. However if you watch here this mans the nation was less than adequate so he takes the transfer back. With an Illegal Transfer one can affect ride it muni all day until the wheels fall off by only spending two bucks to the seller. With one look of transfers to the seller could make 200 easily. How much are you selling them for . 1. He gave me a tip. Why are you doing that . There is a lesson to learn here. If youre going to behave badly do not wave a red flag and bring attention to yourself . Just saying. What appears on the surface to be an understated example of unequaled american achievement, is actually an extremely sophisticated apparatus of goodness and flavor, bonded together by a perfectly aged, all natural, tasty.
