And setting it up again. With a long tunnel Boring Machine, you can just keep going. It may take a long time, but it can be cheaper because you arent assembling and disassembling the tunnel Boring Machine again and again. Reporter prep work has already begun with geologists gathering samples deep underground by the plan route. Engineers will get a sense of the rocks below the surface allowing them to better estimate the total cost and speaking of cost, the gilroy chowchilla section was budgeted for 5. 5 billion, but the l. A. Times published an analysis saying a 13. 5mile tunnel could make or break the bullet train, interviewed several experts from around the world and said it could cost from 5 to 14 billion. This engineering professor was quoted saying this is not good news for taxpayers of california. I dont agree with that. There is no option of doing nothing. Were going to have more people in the state. The cost of doing nothing means more people stuck in traffic, more airline delays. All these things cost us money. The better deal for the taxpayers is to invest in a more rail system than to continue to rely on just building more and more freeway lanes. Reporter the authority is required by law to report back to the legislature every two years on estimated budgets and timelines. That new report is due sometime next year. If it turns out this long tunnel costs more than expected, then the authority hopes to make up that gap by reducing costs in other parts of this very huge, very complex project. In down town san jose, kiet do, kpix5. New at 6 00 Contra Costa County is putting big restrictions on recreational pot sales. Kpix5s Susie Steimle is live in concord with a vote that came down afternoon. Susie . Reporter that was a unanimous decision to delay recreational pot sales and we are inside emerald city garden, one of the businesses in concord that can help you set up your athome cannabis growing operation and its also a business that said it was negatively impacted by todays decision. We are the home depot for cannabis growers. Reporter when proposition 64 passed last november, emerald city garden owner called this the end of prohibition. Theres so many people who right now dont use cannabis because their mindset is its illegal. Reporter starting january 1st adults 21 and over can legally purchase marijuana for Recreational Use in california. It can go many different ways. Reporter today Contra Costa County passed an ordinance delaying any Business Owners ability to profit from that. So businesses wont be able to sell in particular areas until we allow them se or to grow or to process. Reporter the county is also considering other limitations. For example, from 64 would allow anyone to grow up to six Marijuana Plants outside their home. Supervisors here are considering limiting that number to three. We want to make sure, just like any business, that cannabis operations are responsible, that they dont negatively impact neighbors and communities. You know, limiting that would, of course, limit my business, but the real thing is it puts some constants on the customer. Reporter constraints on the customer. Reporter baez said the cost of growing Marijuana Plants inside is much more expensive. You have to buy one of these tents, have the correct lighting and water the weeds yourselves versus outdoors. Outdoors, they call it a weed for a reason. You throw a seed out there. Even if you dont do anything, its going to grow. This is a new law just taking effect and we want to do it thoughtfully. Wed rather do it right than fast. Reporter now prop 64 is, of course, a state law which will take effect if cities or counties dont make any new ordinances of their own, but contra costa wanted to have some individual control, which is why it decided to make this change today. Multiple other bay area counties are doing the same. In concord, Susie Steimle, kpix5. In the meantime Santa Cruz County board of supervisors approved recreational pot sales. 12 licensed dispensaries will be selling cannabis starting january fist. Californias top judge january 1st. Californias top judge wants to do away with cash bail, her voice adding powerful support to complaints that the system unfairly punishes the poor. There is a proposed alternative. Reporter were here in front of the aladdin jail bond company and the days for these kind of Companies May be numbered because today we got a report from a Judicial Group saying that bail bonds and money in bail has to be eliminated and, of course, californias chief justice says she agrees kicking off what is going to be a long conversation. We have recommended that the whole system be reformed. Reporter reformed to get the money out. A report today from a group of judges said the state should do away with bail. Santa clara judge peshaun was part of the group that wrote the 114 page report. Setting the group and using that as asset determination on whether or not a person should be released is not a fair system. Reporter when people pay bail to be released, the court keeps the money as insurance theyll show up for trial to get their money back, but these judges say theres a better way. What we want to do is give the judge more tools to use to determine whether a person can be released safely into the community until that case is heard. Reporter instead of bail the judge would decide whether to let the person go, maybe with some kind of monitoring or supervision. They could also decide to hold that person until trial. I think you have a real Public Safety issue here. Reporter jeff daley owns bad boys bail bond. He said without the financial incentive to come to court, defendants just wont show up. With bail theres a good chance were going to have a Family Member cosign for that defendant. Mama is going to make sure that johnny is doing what hes supposed to. Reporter still the chief justice of the california courts is now saying she supports that reports findings. As to what happens next but it is really up to the chief to decide where we go next. Plan. Reporter as we were set reporter as we were setting up for our shot, we spoke to a man who was completely distraught and he said a friend of his was arrested and no one had money to bail this friend out and that he was about to lose his job. How can it be said the young man that we talked to that a poor person who just gets arrested has to lose their job . Just one of many questions that will be hopefully answered as this debate continues. Live in San Francisco, melissa caen, kpix5. A Pleasanton High School student was arrested for bringing a loaded handgun to campus. It happened yesterday at village high school. School officials got word the student had the concealed weapon, so they called police. The student was arrested without incident and was taken to juvenile hall.

Do they let oes do the cleanup or hire someone themselves . They decided to go with oes, but they have a lot of questions we tried to help them answer today. Its pretty tough, but yeah, were going to rebuild. Reporter but the rebuilding process may be tougher still. Nan cooks house in garden grove is gone, but clearing the property is a process that comes with plenty of uncertainty. These neighbors are all having cal and fema be involved with it. So hope thats the best way. Reporter the other option is pay for it yourself at a price of about 80,000 nan says. Sonoma county commissioners say cal oes will cost homeowners nothing, but nan worries it may cost her some precious parts of her property. So before this was anything it was just weeds and he proposed there. Thats special. Reporter but oes said it has final say on what stays and goes. Homeowners will get a heads up when theyre headed their way. The homeowner signs up for the program and will be called either 48 or 72 hours in advance. So two to three days in advance that the teams will be conducting or starting the reoperations on your property on this date. Reporter the cleanup is an environmental priority. Cal oes says once homeowners inurn their right of entry forms which al turn in their right of entry forms which allows the contractors on their property, the work will start soon. Cal oes told me they know people have a lot of questions, so they arent pressuring people to sign the forms without being comfortable, to them the countys message is much though the countys message is much more clear. We want to encourage people not to run out ahead of us, be part of this process. We promise the government system in term of all three levels will work efficiently. Reporter now this supervisor also told us that homeowners will not incur any costs if they do cal eos. They take that option. Of course, we know there are lots of questions involved in this whole process. There is another town hall meeting happening thursday 6 to 8 p. M. , again this thursday 6 to 8 p. M.

They would prevent new Vacation Rental permits for 45 days, allow people to live in rvs and travel trailers on their property and remove restrictions on renting pool and guest houses. We are definitely unfortunately looking at a multiyear process. Its going to take months just to perform the base level cleanup to make sure that the sites are free of toxins and capable to be rebuilt on. Theyve already seen craigslist postings asking 10 to 20,000 a month for housing. A cyclist targeted in a roadside attack all caught on camera. Take a look.

Its a treat, though, because the whole summer weve been waiting for summer weather to come around and here it is.

I think this has almost been the hottest october we have had since i opened the shack here since years ago. Reporter trudy owns this standup paddle board shop and is normally closed during the work week in october, but when the sun is out, her doors remain open.

So we thought well, lets go paddle around on the water and stay cool. Reporter the summer type weather making one last appearance, but others are ready for the temperature to drop. It ought to be about 15 degrees cooler plus a little wind would be nice. Its not breezy out here at all. Reporter it is turning out to be a comfortable night.

Some breaking news out of San Francisco we want to get to right now. Take a look at this shot. Those are crews working to douse this small brushfire burning on a steep cliffside near the legion of honor in the city. Getting hoses to now because of the location of this the fire is tricky to put out. The crews have been having a tough time trying to get hoses to the flames. What three done instead is called in a fire theyve done instead is called in a fire boat to hit the flames from the water. Its a tough one, too, because of the rocky shore line. Im sure theyll do their best. Whats the wind . Its the offshore wind which is helping taking the smoke and flames out to sea. Obviously it cant go much farther to the west. Theres a fire burning at the beach and pretty hot today at the beach where maria was, 97 degrees in santa cruz today. Ocean beach right in San Francisco close to that fire, 92.
