That study recommends 94 million in improvements, but bart plans to start out by putting about 30 million toward repair, so thats the initial amount of money that will be put towards repairs and that work will make the nations entrance is more inviting and less cluttered and will improve the lighting which can be uneven here inside the station.

But there is this laser focus now on the employees that work at this airport. Plenty of room on on the beach at the egyptian resort city of Sharm Elsheik. With reports that tourism is cratering. Just one repercussion from the uncertainty over the crash of the russian metrojets airbus that went down over a week ago. Investigators are said to have heard a loud bang on the cockpit voice recorder just before it shut down. A russian team is now looking at the Sharm Elsheik airport and not just at passengers screening methods but at the employees there who could have smuggled a bomb on board. U. S. Intelligence agencies seemed to share that concern. Its a huge threat. We think its likely how this bomb got on this airplane. They can be compromised or bribed with cash or they could be read like radicalized to put a piece of luggage on the aircraft. Reporter isis has claimed responsibility for the attack but offered no proof. If it ends up being the case case, it could change assessment of what isis is really capable of doing. If this is a bomb by the affiliate of isis, isis is now fully eclipsing alqaeda as the greatest terrorist threat in the world.

Powell is the third busiest station on the parks system. On the weekends, this station sees more traffic than any other station. As people take those trips into San Francisco and part is hoping to get all those visitors a much better experience. One big glaring issue the station has is an unfinished ceiling. Take a look.

Another problem thats been pointed out by quite a few writers weve talked to, the elevators and escalators often smell like urine. But according to the San Francisco chronicle, bart is ready to put together to modernize the station. Theyve put together a study that recommends about 94 million in improvements that are needed here at the powell street station.

Athletic as thickly speaking, we can do better. Our city is a beautiful city. So it would be nice to see that down here. Reporter again, along with making sure the station is cleaner in many areas, the work is going to make station entrances more inviting and less cluttered. There will also be improvements to the lighting situation, often times the lighting can be an even as you move from one area to another. Some bart directors have described the station as feeling like a construction site as of late, but that could change. The agency again putting initially 30 million into improvements trying to make this a more pleasant experience for everybody who comes through this station. Sounds good, alex.

Nevertheless, we had some busy traffic coming in through vallejo because of earlier problems. Eastbound at georgia street, there was a crash and westbound was set back because people were looking at the crash even though all the lanes were open. Lets take a look at the bay bridge, the metering lights went on at about 5 30 a. M. We have eight to 10 minute delay before you get onto that span. As we look at some of these commutes, south bay commute looks okay. Clearing an accident on almaden expressway. Some lanes have been opened but its a good area to avoid.
