15 to 20 feet possible. Be careful walking down by the beaches today. Many reports just off of the coast. That will play into our weather today and probably into friday morning. Everything continues to go up and over the ridge of high pressure. A few high clouds. Up north, things are falling apart. A patch or two of fog up in Sonoma County. Theres enough of an off shore component that the coast looks nice today. 54 in the city. Plenty of 40s. A little warmer than yesterday. All signs towards sunshine and warmer temperatures with a lot of 70s. So we have good news coming out of marin county. Right, sal . Yeah. That crash has been cleared. Slow coming from novato to san rafael but all lanes are open. Starting in east bay. This is the peak of the commute for a lot of people. 880 you have an opportunity to get in here before the commute fills in. 580 filling in as well. Looking at the bay bridge. The traffic has been backed up to the macarthur maze as metering lights are on. We have slowing as you drive on the bridge. This is a look at the east bay commute with highway 4 and section six slow. 80 is backing up this morning through richmond and el cerrito which is usually the case. The commutes are filling in quickly here. All very crowded getting to sunnyvale, cupertino and mountain view. 7 02. Back to the desk. Thank you, sal. Part of the Sonoma State University campus is roped off because of a Police Investigation. This comes after a campus employee discovered what appears to be human remains in part of the campus. Allie rasmus is live at the scene this morning. Allie. Reporter gasia, we are standing in parking lot m which is next to the Green Music Center on the northeast end of the Sonoma State University campus. Behind the police tape is an undeveloped field with a lot of grass and brush. Theres no trails. Just open space on the Sonoma State University campus. It is difficult to see because of the heavy fog out here. This field is where a campus landscape worker spotted what looked like a human body partially buried in the ground. The worker reported it immediately to the university police. They called in Sonoma County sheriffs investigators. Investigators say they have not confirmed that it is in fact human remains discovered here. Theyre waiting to get a better look at the entire scene and the burial site after Daylight Hours. They said it looked realistic and suspicious and they are treating this area as a crime scene. The detectives did come out during the afternoon. But they did not go digging around and interrupting the crime scene. Once you start, you really want to have a long time to process the scene. You dont want to do half of it and come back day after day. Reporter so thats why the work to excavate the remains and all of the processing wont begin until sunrise this morning. Were at least an hour away from full daylight. The sergeant says the remains are not badly decomposed. He estimated maybe days or a week old. The Green Music Center is right next to the parking lot. They did have a concert at the venue last night. Investigators say they did not get any reports of any problems. They do not have any recent missing persons reports from the area. The sergeant says if it does in fact turn out to be human remains discovered here, they have, quote, no idea who it could be. Back to you guys. Allie, as the sun comes up, we should learn and see more. We will bring you back in throughout mornings on 2. One week after a prominent lawyer was shot and killed in front of his el cerrito home, there are still no significant leads to the killing. James had just come home when someone shot him to death. It does not appear that he was robbed. He worked as an intellectual property lawyer with a firm in San Francisco. Investigators dont know whether his work was in any way connected to the shooting. After almost 90 years in business andronicos is selling its Bay Area Grocery Stores to safeway. There are five stores, two in berkeley, the others in San Francisco, los altos. They will be rebranded as Safeway Community markets. Safeway promises to offer the same local products. We talked with a business professor from Santa Clara University who says given the competition from Grocery Delivery Services like amazon fresh, he is not surprised by the acquisition. Grocery is the notoriously tough retail business. Very low margin, hyper competitive. Andronicos has about 400 employees. They will be offered jobs with safeway. The sale is expected to be finalized in the next six weeks. Andronicos says its stores were actually doing well after filing for bankruptcy five years ago but the owner thought now is the time to sell. The im is 7 06.

But they deserve a lot of congratulations. Reporter many cubs fans never thought they would see the day they would win the title. But chicagos manager says their hard work paid off. Superstition has nothing to do with what is happening today. Nothing. If you want to believe in that kind of stuff, it will hold you back for a long time. Reporter bill murray says a burden has been lifted for chicago fans. This is like its like throwing out old clothes. It feels fantastic. All of the debris and years we didnt win. Reporter meanwhile as you mentioned, the chicago cubs are arriving back to Wrigley Field to ecstatic fans. There could be a parade in chicago as soon as friday. Dave and gasia.

Are you kidding me . Up next, what the city of davis is now doing to protect its residents. A new study out says the commute to Silicon Valley is worse than traffic in l. A. We will show what Research Shows and what it is forcing some people to do. Right now we have a commute that is busy on 80 westbound of course. Also in marin and in the east bay.

Or the Tobacco Companies trying to kill it. Vote yes on 56. Stuck in the middle of that traffic. 280 in san jose. That is the northbound commute direction. Heading south not so bad. So many people stuck in the morning commute. Morning commute getting longer and longer because it is a fact that bay area commute times are growing increasingly worse. You know that. Theres a new study that shows the booms job market is adding to that extra traffic. Ktvus janine de la vega is in the south bay right now. You have been talking to really frustrated commuters this morning. Reporter yes, we have. And some people have just given up. Were here in a vta bus yard. Some of these bus drivers say they have set up these trailers and rvs. We have counted about 30 of them in the parking lot. They are spending the night here during the week because they dont want to deal with the traffic. Its a lot of us living on the yard. They live at the yard. There are trailers set up for them to say. They are commuting over 50 yards. You can stay at our yard if you live past it. A lot of people live at our yard. During the week. During the week. Or even weekends. Theyre trying to make money. Reporter the joint ventures Economic Institute found that the economic boom in Silicon Valley is causing a large number of solo drivers to make mega commutes. Those are taking 90 minutes or longer. They come from alameda, San Francisco and san joaquin valley. Those worker outside of the area are spending 57 hours a month in their cars. That is time that could be spent working or with their families. It seems no matter where, it has gotten progressively worse as far as the amount of people. I think theres just too many people in the bay area to be honest with you and the road system is not its not set up right. I mean, its overwhelmed. Reporter experts say the study illustrates how well the economy is doing but it is impacting housing costs and traffic. With continued job growth, the problem will only get worse. Were going to get on to the freeway here in the next hour, into the congestion and tell you what we experience coming up in the next hour. Back to you. Janine de la vega, thank you. And so for the time for most daily commutes rising across the bay area. We have a question for you this morning. It is this what would you do with all of the extra time that you waste sitting in your car or on Public Transit . Let us know what you think. Post a comment on our ktvu Facebook Page and you can also tweet us with the hashtag tvu. I know the changing traffic, Sal Castaneda, it has changed your job. The tracy super commute is not something that you were covering 15 years ago. No, i wasnt. People were not living that pharaoh owe people were but not a lot. Now a lot of people live far away and spend a lot of time in traffic. It is not just the Silicon Valley unfortunately. It is the east bay and all over the bay. Lets start with the east bay commute and look at 24 and 680 and this whole area. It is jam packed like normal. Sometimes when i say things, they lose effectiveness. If i say your commute is jam packed every day, you stop hearing that. So what i do is i try to remind you of things or let you know when something is unusual. This commute looks kind of normal on 24 through lafayette as you drive through the tunnel. No major problems on 680 but backed up from 242. Bay bridge is backed up to the toll plaza metering lights. It looks okay once you make it on to the span. This is a look at the Silicon Valley commute that we have been talking about. It is busier than it used to be. 101, 85 all slow trying to get to where most of the jobs are. That would be the west valley. I say most. I know there are jobs everywhere but this is the promise land when it comes to the morning commute. Everybody is going that way. 7 17. Lets go back to steve. When i first started, never mentioned anything down towards gilroy or even out towards like you say tracy. Right. We do have fairfield, vacaville and lake county. Now we have to. We have temperature thats will start to warm up here. We get some 40s and a lot of 50s. An off shore breeze. The fog around petaluma and santa rosa is the thickest so far. Our observer said it came in fast. Otherwise it looks spectacular on the coast today. 7056 in San Francisco. San jose gets the gold star here for the most impressive record. 28 record low back in 1893. 73 today. We get a little bit of a different pattern here. High pressure chews everything up. If that happens in after cat a, there is not much left. There is a slight component of an easterly breeze. Oakland at 8. So you can see the airflow direction is going from land to sea. It will be beautiful on the coast. 56 at sfo. Half moon bay is in there. Upper 40s in berkeley and concord. 41 northwest napa. 50s for a few. Kelseyville is in the 40s. Yesterday they were in the 30s. 43 ukiah. There is nothing coming in our direction except for high clouds and patchy fog. Except thor those, we are looking for sunshine and warm temps. A lot of 70s. The warmest temperatures are near the coast, santa cruz and santa clara valley. We continue the warmer weather into friday. Sunclouds mix on saturday. I dont think it will do much south. All right. Sounds good, steve. You got it. The time is 7 19. All right. This big turk see a problem. The city of davis has a big turkey problem. A turkey that often hangs out in the Downtown Parking lot has been lunging and circling and chasing after people. In fact, it has become so aggressive that people are have been call people have been calling 911. Can i help you. Yes. This is embarrassing. Im trying to get into my office on g street in davis. I have this huge turkey surrounding my car, circling me. I dont know what to do. Hi. I have a turkey here that just wont let me leave. So it put me in a corner and i cant go anywhere. People have named the turkey downtown tom. The city posted signs on offering tips how to handle downtown tom. Look at that. Wow. Wildlife officials recommend clap your hands, do it loud, shout at the bird. Dont run away from it and use whatever you are carrying to block its approach towards you. I have seen them attack cars. I saw him attack this little girl. He was trying to chase a little girl and the dad finally had to pick her up. On tuesday, wildlife officials tried to catch the bird. No success. They chased it for half a mile and were able to push it out of downtown. Last week the city Council Passed a new ordinance allowing the city to euthanize aggressive turkeys. Yeah. The time is 7 20. Two Alameda County sheriffs deputies go above and beyond. What they did to help out a teenager in hayward that didnt have a place to sleep. Concerns about election tampering less than a week before election day. At ikea, we believe that everything you need should be within reach.

And that your dream kitchen should work as hard as you do. Get 15 back at the ikea kitchen event. With just five days to go until election day, Hillary Clinton and donald trump are hitting the campaign trail hard. Weve got to be nice and cool. Nice and cool. Stay on point, donald. Stay on points. Thats donald trump reminding himself to stay on message in florida. A state that the pollsters say he needs to win. Hillary clinton is reminding voters of the issues that have hurt trump. Imagine having a president who de means women, mocks the disabled, insults latino, africanamericans, muslims, pows. The most recent polls show trump closing in on clinton. Although he is still behind in a number of swing states. Well, a federal judge in las vegas wants to hear from a Trump Campaign official who heads up the pole watching in nevada. Telling donald trump not to harass voters at the polls in nevada on election day. Democrats believe that republicans are trying to intimidate minority voters so they wont go to the polls. Before the judge makes a ruling, they want to know if the poll watchers know the state laws to follow. There are fears of election tampering in the south bay. One san jose man received an e mail from the registrar of voters saying his mailin ballot was lost in the mail. A replacement would be sent. Ent.

Replacement ballots go through a sorter where signatures are check subpoenaed rechecked by volunteers. There are 55 sites around Santa Clara County that people can drop off ballots through election day. There is word that Hillary Clinton if she is elected is reportedly looking at San Francisco mayor ed lee as a possible member of her cabinet.

Lets go back to the desk. Thank you, sal. The bart system is aging. Thats no secret. It needs upgrading. This election day, voters will decide on a bond measure that bart says will help pay for upgrades. However, critics of measure rr question whether that money will really be spent on fixing the aging system. This morning, we are getting a rare look at one of barts most critical maintenance problems. Ktvus alex savidge is in the news room now. You went on a tour of a leaking bart tunnel beneath San Francisco that workers call the rain forest. Tell us about that. Yeah. And all of the maintenance workers with bart, they all know this one particular spot. Some have to wear rain coats when they go into this particular area. Because there is so much water coming through. Bart says there are many problems that need to be fixed throughout the system. This one is a top priority. The socalled rain forest is a spot under San Francisco where groundwater, thousands of gallons of it, that water is constantly leaking through the bart tunnel. And all of the water can wreck havoc on the system. And to get to this spot, we hopped on a maintenance truck at the civic center station. We drove in the darkness to the 16th street station. About halfway through is when we stopped. We had to do this tour in the overnight hours when the trains obviously are not running. After we got out of the truck, bart facilities superintendent tom delanie showed us around and he showed us where water from an underground aquifer is constantly seeping through the walls of the tunnel. [water dripping] you can hear it. At times it is worse than that depending on what time of year, how much water is in the underground aquifer. The problem is all of the that water seeping into the tunnel is corrosive. It eats away at the rails, the fasteners, the control boxes. Crews are replacing those parts constantly and it is a costly maintenance issue. When we have water that drips on the rail, we address it immediately. That could lead to failures and broken rails which could lead to service disruptions. Whenever the aquifers are running, it is like it is raining. It gets on the rail and eventually causes the rail to break. When that happens, all hell breaks loose. Reporter and that was the case last may. This leaking tunnel caused a piece of rail to crack, which led to massive delays for bart riders all across the system. Bart says it will cost several Million Dollars at least to permanently fix the socalled rain forest. They will have to pump a clay into the walls there to block the groundwater from coming through. If voters approve measure rr on election day, bart says some of that 3. 5 billion in bond money could be used to repair this particular problem. However, opponents of the bond measure say bart hasnt spent money wisely in the past. We all like to support bart. It is a critical transportation artery. But bart hasnt made good choices over the last couple of years. They are putting a gun to our head and saying vote for this bond measure or else. About a third of the bond money from measure rr can be used to pay for employees salaries and benefits with no guarantee that it will go towards system repairs. Now, whether or not the measure passes on election day, bart says it will begin working on a permanent fix for the socalled rain forest at some point later on this year. Dave. Alex, i know you wont forget being in there. It was a unique experience. No doubt about it. Thank you. City of oakland is trying to stay ahead in case prop 64 passes for legalizing recreational marijuana. Many cities are adopting temporary restrictions on the cultivation and sale of marijuana. Many want more time to come up with permanent regulations. The city of oakland wont do anything different. People selling marijuana for Recreational Use will face the same permitting requirements as those who use the drug medically. Its a complete overreaction on their part, cities such as san jose.

Whole foods posted a good quarter but faces more competition from walmart and now amazon. Checking in on the markets, the dow and the s p 500 are doing pretty well today. Thats good because the s p 500 posted its seventh Straight Loss yesterday. The dow is it did start the day below the 18,000 mark. That was a tough level to cross on the downside yesterday. The nasdaq slipping a little bit today. Another thing affecting the markets here and overseas, an English High Court is slowing down great britains exit from the European Union. The court ruled that Prime Minister theresa may cannot exert executive powers to start the process of leaving the u. N. She needs approval first from the parliament.

Krogers hinted that it would like to buy up some small independent grocery chains. We could see more mergers in that field. We are hearing from local customers who are not excited about that buyout. And reduction in competition. Exactly. Thank you, pam. The time is 7 57.

A Police Investigation on the campus of sonoma state. The suspicious circumstances being investigated right now after a discovery by a campus employee. And waiting longer in traffic. The new Research Showing the Silicon Valley commute is worse than los angeles. And the reasoning behind it. J . J . J7 because she doesnt know that it kills 40,000 californians. Every year. Because she doesnt understand what cancer is. Because she cant spell emphysema. Because she is a butterfly, who fights fires. Because she is my daughter, and the Surgeon General says that raising tobacco taxes. Is a proven way to make sure she never smokes. Thats why im voting yes on 56. Investigators expected to continue their work processing a crime scene on the Sonoma County Sonoma State University campus after a worker discovered what looks like a human body in a field. Its over. And the cubs have finally won it all. The world series trophy headed back to the north side of chicago. We will have more of the memorable moments after the cubs win the fall classic for the first time in 108 years. Mornings on 2 continues now. This is ktvu mornings on 2. And good morning, everyone. Welcome back to mornings on 2. It is thursday, november 3rd. Im mike mibach. Im gasia mikaelian. We stayed up late to watch the game. How could you go to sleep. My emotions were on the floor by the time it was done. Steve paulson is here to tell us that the commute weather wise should be fine. That rain delay was the one that i didnt want to see. Gosh. I know. And the tie and it was too much. Great. It was a critical rain delay. Thats true. We have mostly sunny skies here. Theres a little fog, pet loom a Santa Petaluma and santa rosa. San jose going 75. 72 livermore. 07 in San Francisco 70 in San Francisco. It is cool for some. Jamie in oakley says it is cool. Hi to put on a sweatshirt. Feels like 50. If it feels cool for some, it is. For others on the mild side. Everything is going up and over. We get an off shore breeze. That helps oakland and hayward have an off shore breeze. That will translate into warm temps. Woodside 44. Belmont is 53. San carlos already at 54. For some on the mild side. Others cool. We will end up with mostly sunny skies. Sal, are things better or about the same . About the same. We do have slow of traffic. This is the peak for some and past peak for other commutes. In this hour, many commutes will improve. Bay bridge still backed up for a good long delay as you drive into the San Francisco into San Francisco from oakland. You will see that traffic is busy also in the east bay still. 880 southbound slows at 238. It stays solid down to the fremont area. San mateo bridge has recovered after earlier problems. Dunbarton is not as bad as it has been. This has become the new normal. We have been talking about the commute in still on valley rivals l. A. Commutes. Look at 280, backed up all the way through. We can take a look at the 280 commute from our camera here. You can see definitely slow here through downtown. 8 03. Thank you, sal. Investigators are about to begin the serious work of gathering evidence from a possible crime scene on the Sonoma State University campus. Yesterday a campus employee discovered what looked like a human body in an undeveloped field on campus. Thats where we find ktvus allie rasmus live this morning. Reporter gasia, now that the sun is up, we can give you a better look at the field where the grim discovery was made yesterday. This is on the northeast end of the campus. Behind the police tape is an undeveloped field that sits next to parking lot m next to the Green Music Center. This field is where a campus landscape worker yesterday spotted what looked like a human body. Now, the worker reported it to Sonoma State University police and then they called in Sonoma County sheriffs investigators. The investigators were not able to confirm yesterday whether the reminutes were remains were in fact human. They didnt want to start digging just as it got dark. They said they were going to wait to get a better look during Daylight Hours this morning. They said at the time it looked realistic and suspicious and they were treating the area as a crime scene. We cant say its a homicide because we dont even have a confirmation it is a human body yet. We have not touched or affected the area. Once we get into it, we will have to determine cause and manner of death before we do rule it as a homicide. Reporter now, the sergeant said that the remains did not appear to be badly decomposed. He estimated days or a week old. The Green Music Center which is next to the parking lot and next to the field, they have concerts frequently. They had one there just last night. But investigators did not get any reports about any problems at that concert or anywhere else on the campus. They also havent had any missing persons report. Now that the sun is up, were expecting investigators to return out here this morning to continue processing the scene and looking for evidence in this case. Back to you guys. Thank you, allie. The chicago cubs are World Series Champions after the 10 inning game 7 win in cleveland. The headline reading at last. Cubs catch first title in 108 years in extra inning game 7 thriller. [cheering and applause] the team returned home to Wrigley Field early this morning. Greeted by fans that decided not to sleep last night. Players joked with the fans saying they were glad to be back home. After the final out was recorded in cleveland, cubs fans spilled on to the streets in chicago to celebrate. Many fans partied all night long outside of the ballpark. Some celebrated at their favorite watering hole. Local bars cashing in on cubs hysteria. Some charging just 100 to get into the pub. Life long fans say it was worth the price. What a difference. Some cubs fans went to cleveland for game 7. They are still on cloud. But indians fans have to wait at least one more year. Joel waldman is live in cleveland with a much different mood than what we showed you in chicago. Joel. Reporter good morning to you, gasia and mike. 100 is cheap compared to what it cost to get into Progressive Field last night for the game. Tickets going for 1,000 to 2,000 for standing room only. That was on stub hub. Some seats going for as much as 50,000. Thats how it was all series long. The tickets incredibly scarce. And thats because these two really played you know so competitively against each other. The game itself, chicago went out to a pretty nice lead. There was a leadoff home run actually by dexter fowler. So you kind of knew there was Something Special in the air. And then javier biaz added to the home run list in the 5th. Then the indians struck back. Eventually the score was tied 6 6. When all of a sudden out of nowhere, there was a rain delay. And they put the tarp down on the field and you scratched your head and wondered what else could happen. Pickoff plays. You had errors. Three errors for the chicago cubs. One for the Cleveland Indians. Its hard to believe they could win with that many errors. And so you go back to that rain delay. The game was tied as 6. At the top of the 10th, when they resumed play, the chicago cubs picked up two more runs. Went ahead 86. Cleveland got another one at the bottom of the 10th. They were at 87. That is how the game ended. With that, the chicago cubs snapped that 108year drought. The Cleveland Indians, well, its a different story. They will have to wait at least 69 years to try to win their world series. That of course is if they were to win it next year. Mike and gasia. Joel, i remember when the giants won it in 2010. The first time that the city had a world series. Once you have one, they want more. They did get two more among the fans that you talked to, are they already talking about a back to back title . Reporter you know, its funny. They are. They are talking about how this could be a dynasty. How the family is young. Sure. Youve got this great closure. Yeah. So theyre talking. Chris bryant, the 3rd baseman, just a lot of talent and a lot of young talent. So theyre talking about, you know, the fact that this team could in fact be around and go on to win perhaps another championship in less than 108 years, which was the amount of time it took from the last championship to this one. We will see how long it takes. All right. Joel waldman live in cleveland. Joel not only went to the game but he stayed up all night. So a busy day for him. Now to the skies. Nasa saying congratulations to the new world series champs. Tweeted out this photo overnight with the caption congratulations to World Series Champions chicago cubs. In your honor, here is a pic of chicago from space. Now to the license, it is just five days away. Hillary clinton and donald trump are hitting the campaign trail harder than ever. Weve got to be nice and cool. Nice and cool. Right. Stay on point, donald. Stay on point. Stay on point. Thats donald trump reminding himself to stay on message in florida, a state that the pollsters say he needs to win. Hillary clinton is reminding voters of the issues that have hurt trump. Imagine having a president who de means women, mocks the disabled, insults latinos, africanamericans, muslims, pows. The most recent polls show trump closing in on clinton. Although he is still behind in many swing states. Now, theres word today that Hillary Clinton if she is elected president is reportedly looking at San Francisco mayor ed lee as a possible member of her cabinet. According to the washington website the hill, clinton might pick lee as possibly the education or housing and urban development secretary. The site says that clinton is under pressure to have a diverse cabinet. So far no comment from the mayors office. An attack in afghanistan. Coming up in 20 minutes, what were learning about the mission that killed two American Service members. We are live in the south bay on a freeway with all of the commuters. We will tell you about a new study that shows that the commute into the Silicon Valley is getting worse than it is in l. A. And it is very slow in other parts of the bay as well. Not only the Silicon Valley. But also in the east bay trying to get into San Francisco. Well, from october rains, recordsetting rains to what looks like november sunshine and warm temperatures, today will be on the warm side. Remember this guy . Hes the drug company big shot who raised the price of a lifesaving pill by five thousand percent. Said he wished hed raised it more. Prop sixtyone targets drug company pricegouging to save lives. The drug price relief act will save californians nearly a billion dollars a year. Join the California Nurses Association and aarp and vote yes on sixtyone. The drug giants wont like it. And hell hate it. Alright, hows this for a tv show. Sous chef. Lawyer by day, prepcook by night. Also, his name is sous. No. Sloppy joseph. A middleaged man whos trying to get his life together, but he cant hes to sloppy. Huhhh no here you go. I got this. I get cash back so its like everythings on sale. With the blue cash everyday card from American Express you get cash back on purchases with no annual fee. Everythings on sale a Home Shopping show takes place on a sailboat. Thats the one banana boat dessert on me. Look at you being all lactose tolerant. Its more than cash back. Its backed by the service and security of American Express. So many of us feel as though traffic in the bay area is getting worse. Now a new study is backing up what residents have been thinking for years. Janine de la vega is riding around this morning with a look at the long commutes facing some people who work in Silicon Valley each day. Reporter yeah. Thats right. We were in fremont. Now were in milpitas on southbound 880. We are doing a lot of stop and go. Going about 20 Miles Per Hour right now. Lets switch to a live look of what we can see in front of us. We have been seeing a lot of brake lights here. This is a commute that a lot of people are taking who are not from the south bay. And even though in the morning it is slow, in the afternoon, a lot of drivers are telling us that it is taking much longer for them to get home. And a lot of these drivers are mega commuters, which are people who travel 90 minutes or more one way to get to work. The joint venture Economic Institute released a report showing the number of mega commuters into the Silicon Valley has increased more than 5 . That is worse that what commuters in Los Angeles County face. The majority of mega commuters are solo drivers coming from San Francisco and san joaquin county. We spoke to a commuter. If i get up at 6 00, i wont even leave my house i wont get to the job site until 10 00. Yeah. Its that bad. But the cost of living over there is good. I mean, over here it is real expensive. Over there at least you can live comfortably. This is where all of the money is at. Youve got to live. You know, youve got to be where the money is at. You can move out of town but youre making lessor trying to find work. I dont want to do that. So i just put up with it. Reporter we spoke to a bus driver who told us that there are three bus yards in the south bay that have trailers and rvs set up for those who live 50 or more miles away. Drivers stay there to avoid the commute traffic. Experts say the study illustrates how well the economy is doing here but it is impacting the traffic and housing costs. And with continuing job growth, they say the problem is only going to get worse. And back out here live, watching us, were actually now going only about 15 Miles Per Hour. On 880. Heading towards the 237. On 237, it was just bumperto bumper getting into the south bay. Back to you. Drive safe. Thank you. That moves us to our question of the day. What would you do with all of that extra time you spend sitting in your car, sitting on Public Transit . Weve been asking you throughout mornings on 2. So many fans on facebook and twitter. Such as christine who says one word. Sleep. Sleep. By the way sleep seems to be the most popular answer so far. Christina says enjoying a coffee in the bay area morning and more time with my family. Probably finish all of the homework that i dont do until 3 00 a. M. Its let us know what you think. Post a comment to our ktvu facebook or tweet us. If you use the uber app, get ready for changes. The company says the app will be smarter, simpler and more fun to use. It gives the company the ability to mind personal information from the smart phones used by customers. That is expected to raise privacy concerns. It will be up to individual users to decide whether uber can look into their calendars and address books. Back to our worsening bay area commute. Sal, it sounds like people are paying with money, living in expensive homes or paying with their time, hours and hours on the road. That has been said quite a bit. People live far away to get Affordable Housing but they have to be on the road. Lets look at the bay bridge toll plaza. A lot of people using that bridge to get into San Francisco or get to the peninsula. And its backed up for a 15 to 20minute delay. Slow traffic there. Also this morning as you drive through. Were also looking at the san mateo bridge. The scene of a much earlier accident on this span. It was slow for a while. It is beginning to get a little better. Still very crowded heading over to the peninsula. And of course the Silicon Valley commute, we have been talking about that all morning and how slow it is. Well, its very slow this morning. All of the freeways have filled in. I dont see any improvement coming soon. It will take a while nor all of this traffic to get better. 8 18. Lets go to steve with the weather. A little bit of fog showing up around napa airport and also from petaluma. Although it seems to be lifting there according to our observer gary. I dont think it will much longer. It will burn off sooner than yesterday and not nearly as much as we saw yesterday morning. There is enough of an easterly component that it is clear, sunny and it will be warm for many, including San Francisco at 70. Livermore, 72. San jose one of the warmest at 75. And santa rosa yesterday was 70. We will go 74 today. So sunshine and warmer temperatures. We have a high surf advisory. If you are heading over to the coast, be careful of sneak aways. Waves 15 to 20 feet. Mostly sunny. It will be warm. Highs in the upper 60s to near 70 degrees. Everything continues to ride over the ridge of high pressure. San francisco today 70. 56. The average is 6652 much the record high 82 way back in 1929. San jose will be 75. That is 6 above average. But the record logos back to 1893 when it was 28 cold degrees. High clouds to the north. But when they come toppling over that, there is no energy left. Occasionally higher clouds about enough an off shore breeze that it will make for nice conditions. Oakland and San Francisco looks sunny. In the mid50s for some. Cooler temperatures in the mountains. When you get up higher, santa clara at 44. Mostly sunny. Warm. Dont have to worry about rain for a while. Maybe sunday. Maybe sunday. A lot much 70s today. Upper 60s for some. It looks like a nice day on tap today. More so for tomorrow. Still okay on saturday. It looks like clouds and cooler temps and rain north on sunday. And back to sunny on monday. Thank you, steve. Youre welcome. The end of an era. A Grocery Store that has been around for 90 years is about to be rebranded. 8 23. Happening now, theres a high surf warning in effect for bay area beaches. The warning was put into effect at 6 00 this morning. Huge waves, some possibly as high as 30 feet could come crashing down on bay area beaches. The waves will roll in midday today through late tomorrow. Well, it is the end of an era. After almost 90 years in business, andronicos is selling its stores to safeway based in pleasanton. The stores will be rebranded and called Safeway Community markets. But safeway will offer the same local product. Store employees just found out about the sale yesterday and many customers say theyre sad to see andronicos go. Theres a safeway like, what, half a mile, a mile down the way. There is a luckys up that way. I dont know. Its just a nice Little Family market. And it is always a bummer to see those go away. Andronicos has about 400 employees and they will be offered jobs with safeway. The sale will be finalized in the next six weeks. Andronicos told the stores were actually doing well after filing for bankruptcy five years ago but the owner thought now is the time to sell. The city of davis is trying to do something about all of the wild turkeys around its downtown area. One has been lunging and circling and chasing people. It has become so aggressive that people have started calling 911. How can you help you. Yes. This is almost embarrassing. I am trying to get into my office on g street and davis and i have this huge turkey surrounding my car, circling me. I dont note what to do. Hi. I have a turkey here that just wont let me leave. It put me in a corner and i cant go anywhere. People have named this turkey downtown tom. The city is offering tips how to handle encounters with the turkey. I have seen them attack cars. I saw him attack this little girl. He was trying to chase a little girl and the dad had to finally pick her up. On tuesday, wildlife officials attempted to catch the bird without success. They chase touchdown for half a mile and pushed it out of downtown. Last week, the city Council Passed a new ordinance that allows the city to euthanize aggressive turkeys. A little boy in china rode his toy car right into traffic. Security cameras caught what happened. You see him going the wrong way and heading into the path of on coming vehicles. Drivers swerved around him. A program headed off to work saw the toddler and scooped up the child and the car there. The little boy said he was looking for his mom. She was nearby and obviously relieved when the program handed over her son. That is heartstopping video, as a parent. Right. The Millennium Tower leaning and sinking in San Francisco. A Legal Development that could be announced later today. A bart tunnel with thousands of gallons of water leaking right through the walls. How bad things are and what is being done to try to fix the problem. We see traffic that is slow in many areas still. But we see improvement as well. 4 is looking better on 24 is looking better through lafayette. The weather is looking better. Fog up in napa and Sonoma County. It will burn off and then sunshine and warmer temperatures. They prey on our children, spending billions. Addicting 17,000 California Kids each year. Eventually killing onethird of them. Now Tobacco Companies are spending millions to. Defeat prop 56. Because in every state thats raised tobacco taxes, smoking rates go down. So who are you going to trust . Pediatricians, cancer groups and the califronia pta who all. Support prop 56. Or the Tobacco Companies trying to kill it. Vote yes on 56. The time is 8 29. Welcome back to mornings on 2. Im gasia mikaelian. And im mike mibach. Lets go to Steve Paulson for a look at the forecast. It will be a beautiful thursday. Some have a little bit of fog upping in. It wont last as long as yesterday. Some pockets of that up in lake port. This is from alicia. We put this out. And feeted it back out. A little bit of fog. But a beautiful morning. Near 70 degrees today. There are areas of fog dancing around a little bit. But most locations, unless youre up north, will be mostly sunny. Higher clouds spilling over. The ridge of high pressure, you can see that is off shore breeze right there. Even though it is not strong, that is a component where the coast says yeah because it warms up. With that in place, southeast, northeast, easterly, land of sea, temperatures will be warm ugh up. 54 in the city already. 57 by chrissy field. There are cooler readings inland. Also towards the south. 45 morgan hill. We saw a start of that yesterday. We will continue to that today and tomorrow. Sunny and lots of 70s on the temperatures. Days are short so enjoy it while you can. Sal, 8 30. I have to ask you, the grade on the commute this morning . It is about a c. Okay. It is average. We havent had a lot going on when it comes to, you know, accidents. We had a few. But it kind of evened out. Some commutes are getting better. I believe were going to start with a look at the east shore freeway. Maybe we dont have that. Lets go to the bay bridge. Shall we . Lets go to the bay bridge. The east shore freeway leads to the bay bridge. Okay. Well, lets go to what you can give me. How about that. Ill take whatever youve got. There you go. Theres the bay bridge. This is the traffic. Its backed up for about a 25 minute to 30minute delay before you make it on to the span. You dont see a lot going on here as you drive through. I want to mention, i asked about the east shore. Im going to go back to the maps in a second. This is 280 san jose. Northbound 280 is improving. This is good news. Some of the traffic we have seen has improved. That east shore freeway is slow. Weve had a bunch of minor wrecks here on the way. Most of the slow traffic, by the way, is after the wrecks. Look the a80 into richmond. Slow traffic also on 24 in oakland after the tunnel. And here it is in the bay area here. You can see traffic is going to be backed up as you drive out to the macarthur maze. Lets go back to the desk. Here is a look at the other top stories this morning. Two American Service members were killed and two others injured in a raid against in afghanistan against the taliban. The u. S. Is supposed to advise and train Afghan Forces. Officials say this raid took out 65 taliban fighters, including two senior commanders. Sonoma county sheriffs deputies are examining the area where possible human remains were found on the campus of Sonoma State University yesterday. The remains have probably been buried under a small amount of dirt for a couple days. They will send most of the day collecting evidence in that area. A top story making headlines coast to coast this morning. The chicago cubs are back home after winning their first world series title since 1908. They were down 31 in the series against the Cleveland Indians. But the cubs completed the historic come back by beating cleveland in game 7 with a score of 87 in 10 innings. Zobrist was named world series mvp. Now to the election which is just five days away. When some bay area voters go to the polls, they will decide on a multi billion dollar bond measure that bart says will pay for upgrades and repairs. Opponents question whether all of that taxpayer money will actually be spent on fixing the aging system. Bart gave us a rare look at one of the agencys most critical maintenance problems. Alex savidge is joining us now. I know you got a tour to go underneath into the tunnels and you found something that they call the rain forest. Thats right. Often time workers say they have to put on their rain coats just to go to this one particular spot because there is so much water coming in. This spot is underneath San Francisco. Thousands of gallons of groundwater are constantly leaking through the bart tunnel in that area. That can lead to equipment problems and oftentimes delays. Through the darkness toward the 16th street station. We had to take this tour of course in the overnight hours, when the trains werent running through the tunnels. After we got out of that truck, bart facilities director tom delanie showed us around. He showed us where water seeps through the walls of the tunnel. You can just see the corrosion. And the problem is that that water that comes into the tunnel eats away at the rails and fasteners and even damages train control boxes. Crews are constantly replacing those parts. This last may, the leaking tunnel caused a rail to ultimately crack. That led to massive delays for bart riders across the system. Bart says the aging Transit System has a number of problems but this one is top priority. It rains in here. Uhhuh. The water that comes through is so corrosive that the stuff just doesnt last. You said the permanent solution is to bring in a compound which is a naturally occurring clay substance that will go in and seal the inside of the tunnels. In between the tunnel wall and the steel casing. How expensive is that . Millions and millions of dollars. Now, if voters approve measure rr on election day, bart says some of that 3. 5 billion in bond money could be used to repair this problem along with others. The bond measure would raise property taxes on homeowners in San Francisco, alameda and contra costa counties. However opponents of measure rr says there is no guarantee that the tax money will go towards repairs. Rr is a blank check. It is proving that were not going to force them to set smart priorities in the chases they make. Thats why im a no vote on the measure. That is state senator glacier from the east bay who says a third of the bond money from measure rr could be used to pay for employees salaries and benefits. Whether or not measure rr passes, whether voters give it the green light on election day, bart will move ahead with a permanent fix for the rain forest area at some point later on this year. If it doesnt pass, do my rates go up . They have they have that money. You know, they have money for these upgrades. They say that they can, you know, find the money to pay for this particular problem. But it exists somewhere. Right. But ideally they would get this 3. 5 billion in bond money that they say would go to fix a variety of problems across the board throughout the system. But by the end of 2017, the rain forest will be plugged. It could take a couple of years actually. A couple of years. Wow. One of the issues with fixing is they can only do the work during the overnight hours. It is a timing issue. Its going to take a lot of time. A lot of overnight work. Where exactly are you in the city. We are were right between civic center and 16th street. So sort of near the Civic Center Area and the mission. Uhhuh.
