possible. secure the sinkhole before the rain arrives. that's the goal, i understand. we're learning more also about what caused this massive sinkhole in san francisco. it was caused by water bling from a broken storm lane nearby. as you can imagine, all of that water eroded the sand, that led to the collapse. this 20-foot by 20-foot crater opened up at the intersection of 6th and lake in the city's richmond district. the sinkhole runs about 9 feet deep. late yesterday, gas and water service was restored to the people living nearby. and crews will be spending today trying to fix the sewer line that were impacted by this collapse. in the meantime, there's quite a bit of storm dang up in -- damage up in marin county. let me show you surveillance video. floodwaters seeping through the

on bart. that means from at least the standpoint that means adding more bike rock lockers, but -- bike lockers, but also about how to keep your bike secure. representatives will be out sharing security tips handing out dig count -- discounts for vouchers for u-locks. those will keep your bikes safer than cable locks, they say. as for the overall bike plan, it's to expand more places to keep bicycles secure by adding more bike lockers and spaces and more bike spakses like you see at ashby, embarcadero, downtown berkeley and fruitvale. >> i think it's fabulous. i use the lockers all of the time and in different locations. >> bicycle thefts in the bay area pretty prevalent. in my case, for example, i use two locks. and my locks cost more than the bicycle. in the past, i had the bicycle stolen. i had some experience with this. >> reporter: and next month, b.a.r.t. plans to open another bike station at the 19th street stop in oakland. there's also a bike station under construction at
