This abc7 sports report is brought to you by river rock casino. Tha announcer live where you live, this is abc7 news. Good evening. Im kate larsen in for eric thomas. In tonights headlines, a gruesome discovery in a hayward warehouse tonight. San Francisco Police have confirmed that human body parts were found. The warehouse is associated with a person of interest in the disappearance of uber driver piseth chhay. A fight forced the shut down of a Shopping Mall in downtown San Francisco. Police havent said what started the brawl inside the westfield San Francisco centre on market street. Several officers say they were assaulted, but fortunately none of them were seriously hurt. Part of a popular playground is closed down tonight after someone set it on fire. Damage to the koret childrens quarter near Kezar Stadium in Golden Gate Park is estimated at more than 1 million. Drone view 7 was over a controversial freeway project that caltrans repeatedly told us cost 300 million to build. But the actual cost was 460 million. Thats more than 50 higher than what the agency has been telling the public. Weve been investigating major problems with the willetts bypass on highway 101 in Mendocino County for four years now. Tonight in a report youll only see here on abc7 news, abc7 news anchor dan ashley looks at how hard it can be to find out how your tax money is being spent. Were you hiding the real cost of this project . No, we were not hiding the cost. Reporter thats what caltrans spokesman phil frizz by says but documents obtained show the agency has been giving out the wrong total cost figures for the willetts bypass for years. The new freeway opened in november of 2016. You can see it here from drone view 7. Six miles of freeway and big interchanges designed to route cars and trucks around a traffic bottleneck in the tiny town of willits. The project divided the community. Getting commercial truck traffic off of main street and making it a Safer Community is important. Reporter but critics said the bypass was too big. Youre threatening our Community Reporter and caused too much damage to protected wetlands and streams. They wanted a smaller, cheaper road. When the project broke ground in 2012, this caltrans Financial Plan shows the total cost estimate was 290 million. But the agency told abc7 news and the public it was 210 million. Threeears later, caltrans revealed the cost was up to 300 million and stuck with that figure through the freeways opening day. But an internal Agency Document shows by then the total was really 450 million. Spokesman phil frisbee told me he did not use the new total because he was not sure it was correct. It was. And six weeks later, it went even higher, 459 million. Still caltrans issued no correction. All i can say is that caltrans is made up of imperfect people just like every other organization. We do our best for transparency. Reporter the project faced a parade of problems including a serious construction accident that injured three people and major issues with required environmental mitigation. The agency did acknowledge costs were going up but only reported a fraction of the increase to the public. The discrepancy is due to some cultural changes at caltrans. Reporter frisbee is talking about support costs. That refers to the caltrans staff who worked on each project. For many years, the agency did not include its own employees in total project costs. But after years of criticism, that changed. Its been caltrans policy since about 2008, when we really started officially saying, you know, we need to make sure that we include all the support costs because that gives the public really a better idea. Reporter but it didnt change with the willities bypass project. Thats correct. 2008 it was supposed to change, but as recently as 2016, the public was being told it was a 300 million project. Thats correct. Reporter frisbee said he thought the totals included support costs but they did not. Caltrans documents showed support costs roughly doubled starting at 79 million in 2012 and up to 155 million by 2015. None of it made public. You may not have been aware until october of 2016, but your bosses were clearly aware that support costs were not included in those publicly released figures. Actually, i dont know that they did know. How would they not know, phil, that there was another 160 million not being reported. Well, another piece of this puzzle is since 1989, we have changed Accounting Systems four times. Reporter we wanted to ask matt brady about that. Hes director of the caltrans district that includes the willits bypass. The bypass is the most expensive project ever in that district, but brady said he was busy and preferred phil frisbee do the interview. I wouldnt be working for caltrans doing what i do if i didnt think that caltrans was overall a good agency, honest and open. Reporter we showed the documents with the real bypass costs to some of the critics who fought the freeway. The real question is why . Why does caltrans hold such power over the public purse that they would get away with lying to the public . Reporter dan ashley, abc7 news. Now, after dan sat down with cal transfor that interview, the Agency Posted a blog with the true cost of the bypass, and the total could still actually go higher because caltrans will be working for years to finish environmental requirements. That work already accounts for 90 million of the 460 million total cost. Developing news now, a rescue operation is under way in colombia after a tourist boat carrying more than 150 people sank on a reservoir.
