In the bay area, the coronavirus may not be spreading as fast but the daily death count is rising. Our region has seen an average of more than 17 deaths each day over the last week. It is a record high. That is according to data compiled by the bay area news group. Statewide, nearly 110 people have died every day on average, over the past seven days.

The majority of positive cases, 50 britain are of unknown origin. They say they will maintain Distance Learning because with families, consistency is critical, they say.

The conference voted to begin playing on october 23rd with eight games for each team. Officials say improved daily testing was the biggest factor in deciding to bring the season back this fall. The information that i got, it was a daily rapid test every day and once that changed, that was a game changer for us. This means the pac 12 including cal and stanford is the only power five conference not playing football. That could change. Cal and oregon were both cleared to have full contact practices. One east bay spot is being described as a fire danger zone. Grizzly peak in berkeley says visitors stop by to take pictures of this Majestic View and the trouble starts once night falls. So far, there have been eight small fires in the area since june. We are a ticking time bomb of sorts here. It is not a matter of if but when. They are beefing up nighttime patrols along the grizzly peak corridor. It is not a curfew but there is a new rule.

As winter approaches and the pandemic rages on, the need to house the homeless in the bay area is more urgent than ever. In project home, Susie Steinberg discovers the Trump Administration has put the brakes on projects that would help thousands. We are really nervous now that it is getting into the fall. He is part of a nonprofit that is part of the yeah shelter. It is a safe place for teens like Jake Gleysteen and montel ward. When we caught up with them in january, they were sleeping on the floor of the church but hope was running high because of an offer from the governors office. They were going to receive some brandnew trailers to temporarily house these teenagers are part of a fleet dispatched from sacramento. 15 trailers were dropped off in the city of oakland lot but nine months later, they are still there, sitting empty. Some of the trailers got reallocated before we could use them. Oakland told bill they had to reclaim trailers to house Covid Patients and that never happened but he waited patiently and then in july, positive update. Caltrans was going to make available one lot in west oakland at third and peralta for all 15 trailers. We had a plan that was ready to execute, so our youth prepared to move and our staff was prepared to move. Then another roadblock, this time from washington. The Trump Administration provokes federal approval to use highway land for any calmness projects across california. It comes after President Donald Trump criticized californias handling of the homeless crisis. The fhwa revoked perusal of five projects. They said temporary homeless shelters are not inappropriate use of the highway rightofway. Caltrans director fights back, saying washingtons unexpected relocations have created a highly unfortunate situation for all parties. The Highway Administration eventually approved two of the disputed locations in San Francisco for homeless shelters that have already been belts. The approval for the third and largest Housing Project is a 200bed Navigation Center next to interstate 280 that remains revoked. So does federal approval for major homeless projects in la and sacramento. The very people, the ones that are beating us over the head are saying you are not doing nearly enough to clean up the homeless problem and they are denying us the ability to go forward with our project. Darrell steinberg says it has caused months of delays even with the high list intensifying. All we wanted to is bring people who are homeless inside for safety and for health and to reduce the homeless problem in our city. He says disregarding washington could have serious consequences. In one letter, the Highway Administration warns it may take any action deemed appropriate, including withholding federal aid highway funding if the state fails to comply with federal requirements. We are working in partnership with Governor Newsom and caltrans and it is important that we stay connected here. I do understand there is more at stake than just the one project in my city. Like the one next to interstate 280 in San Francisco. City officials are also fi andy lynch told us we are continuing to move forward under the ap we have received from caltrans. Oakland did not respond to our calls for comment. We found no sign of activity on the lot on third and peralta. And the search for an alternate site has gone nowhere. I am really disappointed for our youth because they were looking forward to having 24 7 shelter space and we were looking forward to being able to provide them with aroundthe clock Case Management and so forth. They really need to be successful. We did reach out to the federal Highway Administration and they did not respond to our quest for comment for the story. We have some good news, one of the young men you saw at the Covenant House has found a permanent home and is moving into an apartment. The other young man is safe and at the shelter still, still looking for his permanent home. Keep sending your stories and ideas to project home at kpix. Com and see all of susies reporting on our website. One of the oldest homes will be picked up and moved to a new location about half a mile away. The home was built in 1903 and belonged to james murphy, who was an early city stationmaster. That is in an effort to preserve the history of the home. This is the second time the home has been moved and was first relocated in 1914 from burlingame avenue to maspfoe bue lets get a check on traffic now with gianna. How are the roads looking . Good morning, it is a little busy especially along the freeway commute. We have road work out of downtown oakland. It is the pattern for most of this week. You have a slow ride from there all the way between 23rd and 29. That is the area where they are alternating at times. Only one lane is open through their. It is sluggish and i will zoom out here if you want to use 580, you can see the drive times are better on the 580 commute. We have a much better choice, especially to want to point those delays along 880. Once you pass that portion, the rest of 880 looks go not eingy lights. South of there, so far, so good on the san mateo bridge. We are seeing more cars on the roadway at the morning commute gets a bit busier. West town commute over towards 101, those tail lights are working their way through there and it is moving the limit for the mo. It is smooth sailing with to get on 101. There are foggy conditions especially at the bay bridge. The Golden Gate Bridge is also fine. There are no brake lights at the toll plaza as you go into the city via the bay bridge but just a heads up, things might look a little murky this morning so you might be dealing with some limited visibility and that is the case for the Golden Gate Bridge. As far as traffic goes, just north of here we have some both work right through that waldo grade and that has been wrapped up and cleared. Things are moving better as you go into San Francisco out of marin. It is the same for super commuters into the allatoona the delay is at mount house and tracy and beyond northland. That is a look at your morning drive. I went a little crazy with taking pictures with all thossk oh, my goodness. I loved all of your photos, your pacifica beach photos, this is one of them that gianna took of the blue sky in pacifica. It was so nice to see so many of you sending me your weather photos and taking pictures of our fresh air and the blue skies and the sunshine and we are looking at better air quality as we go through today. Today, get out there and enjoy fresh air. The air quality conditions are looking good. I love to see the aqi values are down to the single digits. Looking at eight for San Francisco, just five in oakland, nine for san leandro and livermore, 14 in san jose and looking at five in san rafael, just 34 and aqi for san pablo and for the north bay, 51 for santa rosa. 50 is when we start to see margaret air quality and it is making that up in santa rosa and healdsburg. It is still looking good in the north bay. Here is a look at the Treasure Island camera. Starting off with foggy conditions and some patchy drizzle as well and strong ocean breeze is kicking in and that is the reason why we have that better air quality. It is 64 degrees with a clear sky and livermore is 62 and san jose is 67 right now and santa rosa is 59. Checking current visibility down to a mile at sfo, a quarter mile in dense fog at Half Moon Bay and down to a quarter mile this morning in oakland. It is a mile and a half in santa rosa and napa and three quarters of a mile in livermore. Because of that strong sea breeze, we have the fog and drizzle and we are looking at good to moderate air quality through our afternoon, thankfully so, with seasonal daytime highs for this time of year as we go through our day. That strong sea breeze is cleaning out our skies and mixing all of the smoke because of this low pressure system ushering in that deeper marine layer. As we look to our south, this is what is left, remnants of this. You can see the high cloud fo d e some high to southern clouds through the day but otherwise we will catch some clearing through our afternoon. The future cast is showing some clouds sticking around along the coast as we look to tomorrow and another morning of low clouds and areas of fog and even some patchy drizzle as possible and then through the day on friday, temperatures are little cooler compared to today. It is 77 in santa clara and san jose and for concord and Pleasant Hill, 86 for and our High Temperature and upper 60s in San Francisco and mid70s in oakland and low 80s for h here is that extended forecast.
