Going to zoom in and it almost looks like shattered glass. That is some of the mercury were seeing along this street here. You havent heard reports of mercury or potential road closures . No. Reporter what did you think when you saw the cars out here . Im just now seeing them now. A little curious as to what the situation is. Reporter so back out here live where they continue to clean up. Theyll have this tape here, caution tape. As you heard, a lot of neighbors didnt know what was going on. There is no shelter in place. Neighbors can be out and about, they just cant go on the roadway here. If you see that shattered glass what looks like shattered glass, youre not supposed to touch it. Not knowing what it is. Thank you. New at 6 00, happy birthday wishes to a sinkhole. Rather tongue in cheek tribute to a hole in the ground that still hasnt been fixed after a year. The sinkhole opened up one year ago today right next to a Shopping Center in moraga. There was birthday cake, but few people c celebrates. Reporter all of the birthday basics were here, balloons, cards, even streamers. Yellow and blue, mostly behind me. There is plenty of red tape involved in the situation as well. Happy birthday to you reporter its a satirical celebration, one year to the day since this sinkhole opened up. Best sinkhole cake ever . Definitely. Reporter is it worth another year . No. Reporter while this party is complete with good cake and good humor, the overall sentiment is much less festive. We would like to see action on the hole over there so the businesses dont have to continue dealing with financial losses for the year. Reporter doug says hes lost about 20 of his business as a result. When it comes to money, the city of moraga says its short too. Why does the paperwork take so long . What about it was so lengthy . Theres so many things they require that has to be done. The federal process is very lengthy. They do check to make sure all the ts are crossed and is are dotted. Reporter those throwing the party say their patience and sense of humor is wearing thin. Do we have to buy another cake for it or is it going to be over . Reporter the city is almost finished with the paperwork. Then caltrans reviews it and doles out the federal funds. From that date, it will take three months to fix. We are following the process and being very patient, but our patience is wearing thin. So were hoping once we get the applications completed, submitted and reviewed quickly, well be able to get work started right away. The sooner they get started, the sooner it will get done. Reporter so just to give you an idea of some of the holdups with the paperwork, the most recent had to do with the utilities involved. There are several at this corner and the city had to get individual contracts with each of those utilities saying theyll take care of this part of the project. You can imagine how long that would take. Lets hope there isnt a second birthday. New at 6 00, demolition of severely damaged bridge in big sur has been called off. It crosses a scenic stretch of highway 1 where it runs along the big sur river. Devon tells us whats holding up the demolition. Reporter pfeifer canyon bridge is beyond repair. But tearing the old bridge down would prove tougher today than caltrans ever imagined. This 6,000pound ball, the idea is for the ball to strike the bridge at a fairly rapid rate with a high degree of force and were not seeing that. Reporter the threeton wrecking ball descended slowly from this massive crane, merely tapping the surface of the bridge and doing little damage. It is yet another setback for the Big Sur Community thats been cut in half because of the damage. The main players of big sur, the big businesses line the ventana inn, the post ranch inn its just on the other side of that bridge. Reporter all of this winters wet weather caused a mud slide, which weakened the columns that support the bridge. Even once its torn down, it could be a year or more before its replacement is built. Safety of course is our First Priority and we feel that once we get this bridge rebuilt, everyone will certainly benefit from it. Reporter big sur, devon feely. The National ParkService Released new pictures as crews make repairs to the big oak flat road in yosemite. National park officials are working with the federal Highway Administration on the repair work. This is a picture from just after the road gave way when the wet winter storm soaked soil underneath that road causing it to move and crack. Its the main road that leads into yosemite valley. The park severance does not have a date for when the road will be ready to reopen. You could call this stretch of road homeless lane. Its an encampment that has become so large, you see it spilling out into the roadway. The tents blocking traffic in west oakland between north gate and mlk junior way. In this case, police arent doing anything about blocking the traffic. Reporter thats right. Were in west oakland right now. Behind us is one of the citys biggest homeless camp. It stretches for blocks on this Warehouse District as you can see. The city has brought in garbage cans, a toilet and all of these barriers to try to keep traffic and everybody separate. Its kind of accommodating the camp. But thats not the same story in other parts of the city. Its one of the most disturbing sites you can see in oakland. Tent encampments that are so big, theyre spilling out on to the corner just off 27th street as cars whiz by and police are nowhere to be seen. Even the tent people say its getting out of hand. I walked out of here the other day and a car just missed me. I dont understand why you live up on the freeway, did you it doesnt seem like the citys doing anything. Reporter people like brad is it safe here . Its safer to be on the streets. Reporter the city routinely sends out cleaning crews like this one we caught up two weeks ago, but this is how it looks today. We try to have homeless encampments not be close to peoples homes where theyre blocking the sidewalk entirely. Reporter on 27th street coning off we need to deal with that. Reporter helping is something that people like local resident tony have taken upon themselves to do. Tony uses his own monand he car to deliver hot food to the camps every week. [ indiscernible ] and make sandwiches. Our friends help us make sandwiches and muffins and stuff like that. Reporter across downtown, the city has taken barricades and set up toilets. Some 30 campers here have gotten into housing. People like deanne. But no sooner does one person move out than someone else moves in and that wasnt in the plan. Weve got about 1500 to 2,000 people sleeping on the streets of oakland any one night. So theres a draw. Reporter when you drive by and see them on the streets, whats your reaction . My reaction is we need to provide more services. Reporter whether or not the city has those services remains to be seen. So as you can see behind us, theyre not trying to eradicate it. Theyre more or less just trying to cope with it. How long they can continue to do this before something happen it is well, that can be the next big story.

The plan would cover nearly 400,000 students, all of californias public universities as well. Wilson walker explains how that proposal would work. Reporter the cost of education at this school is not that bad. Its one of the cheapest in the state, in all honesty. Reporter California State University east bay where lessons can be found at the library or the cashiers desk. I do have a couple scholarships, but its not covering everything right now. It realm is the cost of living thats getting me. Tuition is a part of it. Most of mine would come from cost of living too. More than half of California College students graduate with debt. The average is 20,000. Reporter today democrats in sacramento announced a plan to deal with that. California is taking the boldest step in education to make college debtfree.

Those students would be required to work at least 15 hours a week to help cover some of the expense. Financial aid workers say cost of living help could be critical. Considering all the costs of living here is really high and so Living Expenses is a big challenge for a lot of our students, especially our low income family students.
