But for the most part, its a decent commute as you come out around the bay area. The bay bridge toll plaza is backed up for a 15, 20minute delay. And there are no major problems on the bridge itself getting into San Francisco. Looking at a commute here on 880, it does look okay as you drive through. Again, the traffic continues to look good driving through there. Well looking at the east bay commutes. We did have a couple of things. We had a problem westbound 580 at airway on the shoulder. A noninjury accident. You can tell. Its better than usual from livermore to dublin. Some people still have spring break. Some people had it last week, some people have it this week. Southbound 880 from 238 as you drive down to fremont, we have stopandgo traffic. San mateo traffic is getting busy to san mateo and the peninsula. Lets go back to the desk. Happening now, workers from coast to coast are rallying and demanding higher wages. They stay they cannot live on what they make. Dozens of demonstrators are protesting at a mcdonalds in San Franciscos Mission district. Tara moriarty joins us from the restaurant where demonstrators just went outside after protesting inside for nearly an hour. Tara . Reporter thats right. Protesters stormed through the front doors of this mcdonalds here on 24th and mission around 6 10 this morning. Right now, they are outside. You can see they are actually singing and they will be taking a group photo. Theres about 100 people here. They were marching on the inside, blowing whistles, chanting.

But in oakland, the rate is 12. 25 an hour. In san jose, its 10. 30 an hour. Now, mcdonalds did not kick out the protesters. They were fine with the demonstration as long as it didnt affect customers. Police are here. There are a dozen officers standing by in case there is a problem. Coming up, you will hear from one worker fighting for 15 and why she says living in the bay area is virtually impossible making less than 30,000 a year. Im tara moriarty, back to you. Can you imagine what a challenge that would be . Thank you. Its a mystery on a beach in pacifica. A dead whale almost 50 feet long washed up there yesterday. It is still on that beach this morning near morey point. Alex savidge is there in pacific qau to in pacifica to tell us all of the questions about the dead whale. Reporter good morning. That whale is sitting at the south end of shark park beach here in pacifica. I can assure you that getting to where it is no easy task. My photographer and i had to hike about three quarters of a mile down a dirt trail to get a closer look at it. Let me show you the video. Heres what we saw. The video is dark. You can probably make out the decomposing carcass of a nearly 50foot long sperm whale which washed ashore sometime yesterday. There was no foul odor in the air near the whale but you could see blood in the water nearby. Later on today, researchers from the Marine Mammal center in sausalito will be out here to come and take a closer look at the whale and they will be performing a necropsy to figure out how the mammal died. Now, bear in mind, this time of year, whales do tend to migrate close to the San Francisco bay as they head north to feed in arctic waters near alaska. There is a warning thats been put out for boaters to keep an eye out for migrating whales and steer clear of them. As for the whale found dead here yesterday, researchers will be coming down to take a closer look. Try to figure out how it died and theres the broader question of what do you do with this carcass . How do you get rid of it . Theres thoughts about towing it back out to sea but theres other ways to dispose of it. Wow. What a story. Alex savidge in pacifica. Thank you. 7 08. Happening today, the last of the sea birds found in the bay coated with that mysterious goo, it will be released back into the wild. Since january, rescuers have cared for more than 300 birds at the International Bird center in fairfield. About 11 30 morning, the last one will be set free in sausalito. The source of all of that sticky goo still a mystery. The it Bird Rescue Center has spent 150,000 caring for the bird and they welcome any donations. Also happening today the contra costa Water District will consider mandatory 25 water cuts. This follows yesterdays decision by east bay m. U. D. To have customers pay more while using less water. Effective july 1st, east bay mudd customers will pay a drought surcharge, meaning the average bill will go up by 12. Customers will also have to further cut water use from the current 15 to 20 . Anyone who uses more than 984 a day will face higher rates and fines. Were hoping for a very wet winter next year but were planning for the worse. Every gallon of water saved this year will put us in better shape if next year is another dry year. The contra costa Water District is considering temporary drought water rates. The rate would increase the charge for each 748 gallons of treated water by 50 cents. Running a typical sprinkler for an hour uses about 1,000 gallons of water. In a new report, a legislative analyst says for the time being, the drought does not pose a significant threat to the states economy. The report also says even a substantial decline in agriculture would have a limited impact on the state. California farmers produce much of the countrys crops but only account for 2 of the states gross domestic product. Today, the city of boston marks the second anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing. The city will mark a moment of silence at 2 49 this afternoon boston time.
