thank you for joining us. welcome to mornings on two. i'm dave clark. >> good morning i'm pam cook. it is thursday april 11th also known as friday eve. it's friday eve and i think it is getting cooler and maybe rainier towards the weekend. let's check in with steve paulson for the weekend. >> that is correct. but today another nice day or warm day and temperatures 40s and 50s. santa rosa is 48, palo alto 49. just a few patches of low clouds. we'll see if they kind of regroup here. but after yesterday's warm temps, right about in line with what we thought, except for the city, which rocketed up into the low 70s. sometimes it happens. we get that offshore breeze. and that's what happened today, 60s, 70s and low 80s. well, he did such a nice job yesterday. they invited him back. here he is, mr. frank mallicoat. >> yeah that they did. and i'll be back again tomorrow and oh no no not tomorrow. oh yeah. on a friday hopefully it will be friday light but out of the gate we, we do have something to talk about. we'll go to the bay bridge toll plaza out of the gate. as you can see, not much

going on there. easy breezy. if you're heading into the city, we'll take you over to 880 in oakland. no problem there. and also, the san mateo bridge is nice and easy too. but if you can bring me back on camera, guys, i'll tell you what's going on down in the hayward area. highway 238 to 880 south over turned big rig. this happened about 130 this morning. it was carrying fuel. it's leaking fuel actually, right now the ramp has been closed down and authorities are telling us it will be, quote , a while before that gets reopened and that gets cleaned up. so if you're in that hayward area. 238 880 do take note because that is a bit of a mess here at already 401 in the morning. we'll keep an eye on that and all your traffic. i'm frank mallicoat. let's send it back to pam. >> thank you. frank topping our news today. a big meeting could determine the future of oakland international airport. now, the city port commission will vote on renaming the airport to san francisco bay oakland international airport. the

possible name change is getting a lot of pushback. tuesday night, the san mateo county board of supervisors unanimously approved a resolution opposing the change. sfo is under the jurisdiction of san francisco, but geographically it is located in san mateo county. the concern is fewer people will then fly into sfo and the economy along the peninsula could suffer. now, san francisco mayor london breed confirms that she asked for possible legal action to stop the oakland airport from changing its name. the mayor told us yesterday on the nine that she directed city attorney david chu to send a letter to the oakland port commission. the letter says the proposed name change would infringe on san francisco international airport's trademark. >> oakland is an amazing city, and oakland deserves its own brand, its own opportunities, and the attention should be focused on making the airport what it needs to be similar to what we've done with sfo. and yes, i made it clear to the city

attorney that, if necessary, we should pursue legal action to stop this name change. >> the oakland port commission says if the name change is approved, it will take all appropriate measures to defend its right to use it as a geographic identifier for. >> our time is now 403. in other news, an arrest has been made in the case of a crash in concord, where a nine year old girl was killed. 22 year-old jesus dorantes was arrested yesterday. the chp believes he was driving a gray mazda early sunday morning that went off the road on northbound interstate 680. it was a rollover crash. six people were inside the car along with the child who was killed. four women suffered major injuries. dorantes is facing charges that include manslaughter and felony hit and run. >> san francisco mayoral candidate aaron peskin has released an ad campaign that focuses on his sobriety as a theme for his candidacy.

>> i'm grateful that i got the help i desperately needed that helps keep me sober today. san francisco needs recovery, too, and it needs to start in our neighborhoods. we need a neighborhood now. >> peskin entered an alcohol treatment program almost three years ago after questions were raised about his conduct in city hall. he says he wants to launch a comprehensive plan to expand shelters and treatment centers to reduce homelessness and drug addiction in the city. peskin entered the race last week and is one of four major challengers to london breed. >> time is now 404. this coming monday, a vote recount starts in both santa clara and san mateo county for the race to replace retiring congresswoman anna eshoo. now, two people requested a recount after joe simitian and evan low had a rare second place tie in the primary election, and both of them would have to face former san jose mayor sam liccardo in the november general election. >> this has not happened before,

and it's a very unique event for us. the process of the recount is very complicated because the campaign, they can request to look at, you know, certain vote by mail envelopes. they can request to look at other things that processes that we do. >> now, the people asking for the recounts have to pay for them. the recount will start monday. if election officials have received a deposit by then. the santa clara county registrar of voters says a manual recount will take about ten days. it will cost about $32,000 per day. the san mateo county register registrar hasn't said what a recount there will cost. >> state workers across california will soon have to go back to the office at least part time. now, the governor's office just sent a memo to state agencies requiring them to bring workers back into the office at least two days a week, starting in june. now some state employees have remained fully remote since the pandemic began. the governor's office says the

disparities between agencies is the reason for the statewide change, roughly 240,000 people work for the state's various offices and agencies. >> time now. 406 well, new numbers out showing the inflation rate rising more than expected last month could mean the federal reserve will not cut lower interest rates. interest rates anytime soon. the consumer price index rose 3.5% in march. that's the highest annual gain in the past six months. it was mainly due to continued high gas, mortgage and rent prices at the white house. president biden acknowledged there's more to do to bring down inflation, but he says progress is being made. >> we have dramatically reduced inflation from 9% down to close to 3. >> now the federal reserve board was expected to begin reducing interest rates in june, economists say, with the inflation rate still high, that is not likely.

>> one us senator is suggesting extending the time frame for tiktok to sell the us portion of the social media app now, washington senator maria cantwell told reporters that a one year deadline might guarantee success of a bill. a measure passed by the house would require tiktok parent company bytedance to divest itself of the app within six months, or face a ban. tiktok and its users say a ban would be a violation of their first amendment free speech rights. >> well, it was a chance to say thank you to the people who saved his life. when a former bart police officer met with first responders in livermore, jeff harrington went to the fauci ambulance facility in livermore to see the first responders, and they hugged and talked emotionally about what happened last november. when harrington suffered a cardiac arrest at his home. his wife called 911 and started giving him cpr. two paramedics, dave raymond and emt jason vera, rushed to the home and after 20

minutes, they literally brought harrington back to life. >> slowly i come out of it in the hospital and one of my earliest memories, you guys visiting me, and that's that's a huge tribute to the people that you guys that you would take the time out of your busy schedule. that speaks highly of what you guys stand for and came and see me and i just i don't know how to extend the gratitude for i know, i know that as you can imagine, they were in tears at this special reunion. >> and for the first responders, it was the first time that a patient they saved came back to personally thank them. >> several people have been asking that same question. jeff, i've been in this county for 32 years. guess what? you're the first to be able to have that opportunity to say that. and i can't express the joy that i feel now. and knowing that i'm getting to talk to you. >> mr. harrington was given a fauci challenge coin to honor this reunion for law enforcement. the challenge coins

are a way to recognize excellence and mark a special occasion honoring an officer and connect with the community. >> i love those stories. there you go. right? it's always a nice yeah. all right, steve paulson, it was pretty darn warm, even hot in some parts. what about today? >> about the same. >> yeah. >> okay then tomorrow you'll be happier. >> pamela. so maybe keep the windows open right now for a bit. >> there was no breeze at all at my place. zero. so if you got a breeze, you're lucky in the hills. it's really warm. it's in the 60s. there a few high clouds drifting across. but we're rather still this morning. 40s and 50s. and temperatures won't take long to warm up. although, you know, some areas yesterday were pretty much in line with what we thought even slightly below. 60 in canada. how about that? 48 sonoma, 47 san anselmo, fairfax, windsor, healdsburg, 40s, 50s. i mean, temperatures pretty mild here. 30 for both. truckee, south lake tahoe, 47.

passed away at the age of 58. lulu spent nearly 40 years of her life at the san francisco zoo before she was transferred to a wildlife sanctuary in san andreas. officials say the elephant was euthanized on tuesday because she was suffering from degenerative joint disease. lulu was born in south africa. officials say she was likely captured when her mother was killed. we have some new information on the efforts to save that gray whale found entangled in a fishing net. the whale was spotted tuesday off the coast near daly city and the search for that whale continued yesterday. >> but as ktvu jana katsuyama tells us now, time is running out to save it. >> new images wednesday from noaa show the gray whale that was spotted tuesday off the coast near daly city, entangled in a gill net. the marine mammal

center and noaa fisheries launched a boat with a rescue team. cathy george was on the boat and saw the whale close up. it was probably about 25 to 30ft. >> i would place it as a juvenile, so it's not an adult whale yet, and it was starting to look thin. it is not able to forage so i'm pretty confident that it is not eating. >> george says the whale was skittish, so they were unable to attach a satellite tracker. >> this whale had so much gear on it that that it was just mind numbing. >> on wednesday, the team's boat left sausalito and returned back to the ocean, hoping to spot the bright red buoys they had attached to the whale. >> unfortunately, the fog is hampering our sighting abilities. it's a bit devastating to hear that it's entangled. >> pacific gray whales have been the focus of recent studies, scientists with noaa noticed an unusually high mortality rate in

2019 that led to a 40% decline in the north pacific gray whale population, researchers found. the cause was ecosystem changes in the arctic feeding areas, leading to malnutrition. this north bay fisherman says he's noticed changes firsthand. >> like in the last few years, we've seen fish, fish move around and seals move around and predators move around and ecosystems are slightly changing. noaa is asking local boat operators to be on the watch for the whales red buoys. >> it's amazing to witness whales and it's tragic that they're getting caught up this way. and i wish there was another way to bring them fish out of the ocean than a gill net. >> the rescue team says they searched from point reyes down to daly city on wednesday, but they were not able to locate the whale again. they say they won't be able to launch the boat thursday due to weather in sausalito. jana katsuyama. >> ktvu fox two news okay, thank you. jana urban activists are calling on the city to fix some potholes in san francisco's castro district. they say pose a unique risk to the area. now,

gays against blight or gab used bright pink spray paint to point out the potholes on the sidewalks at jane warner plaza. the group says the holes could trip tourists who come to the historic castro area. >> hopefully, this spray paint action will convince mayor breed that it is time to send out a public works crew and address the holes that are here that are creating a danger. >> gays against blight are also calling on the city to power wash graffiti off the flower sculptures in the plaza. >> our time now 416. ac transit says its most popular bus line will get several improvements along its route. line one t runs along international boulevard from uptown oakland to the san leandro bart station. ac transit is using grant money to make that route faster and safer. they're going to focus on areas where speeding and dangerous driving are concentrated. the project will include speed

cushions that, similar to speed bumps aimed at keeping drivers out of the bus only lanes while allowing the busses to drive smoothly. >> april is national distracted driving awareness month. the idea is to stress the importance of keeping both hands on the wheel. that means no texting, no phone calls, facetime or the internet. the national highway traffic safety administration reports in 2022, more than 3300 people died in crashes involving distracted drivers just glancing at a text would basically cause you to literally drive the length of a football field without seeing the road. >> other forms of distractions include arguments with your passengers and listening to music that might make you sleepy. >> officers point out parents need to set a good driving example for their children. i will say that made me an even better driver when my kids got

not drivable. so, that is the situation down there. here's the map. you can see it on your map right there outside of that, things are actually pretty good at this hour and should be for 19 in the morning. but that is the big headline thus far in traffic on this already busy thursday. how about a little weather. let's say good morning to steve. all right. >> thank you frank. another nice day on tap. also a little bit of haze has settled in. so hazy skies. nice to warm tomorrow. change starts in a much cooler pattern. it looks like rain returns. everything is pointing to that direction for saturday. maybe lingering into sunday. we had our little bump up. it was on cool side monday and then tuesday. transition day. yesterday was warm, today will be warm and then a big drop. maybe a good 1015 degrees tomorrow. a few high clouds. there was only some patchy fog. that's it. 40s, 50s. unless you're in the hills then it's in the 60s. it's pretty warm up above. there's a warm layer there, a lot of 50s here. look at that. all 50s, i think. so and 61 in pittsburgh. my

president candidate and former president donald trump said arizona s abortion ban goes too far and that he would not sign a federal abortion ban. >> we're now already hearing that they are exploring a state initiative in the fall. so you know, fingers crossed that there is hope for arizona. >> the arizona supreme court ruling also suggests that doctors could be prosecuted for performing abortions, but the state's governor, katie hobbs, says that she'll do all that she can to keep anyone from being charged. lamonica peters ktvu, fox two news thank you. >> lamonica a contentious moment between a uc berkeley law student and a law professor is now viral. the incident comes after months of disputes between pro-palestinian and jewish students at cal. now, the latest confrontation happened at the home of dean erwin chemerinsky, who during a celebratory dinner for the graduating law students at uc berkeley. a group of

protesters opted to boycott the dinner, but others showed up. and that's when one student grabbed a microphone to speak in support of gaza. the video shows the dean's wife, law professor catherine fisk, trying to take the microphone away from the student, an action the protester says is an assault and violation of her first amendment rights. >> we were invited to the premises and we would willfully, willfully leave the premises. so that had always been the plan, we had even done a criminal defense consult with the national lawyers guild, who, you know, pretty much thought this was a pretty low risk action. >> in a statement, dean chemerinsky said his home is not a forum for free speech. he added, quote, my wife and i immediately approached her and asked her to stop and leave. the woman continued. when she continued there was an attempt to take away her microphone repeatedly. we said to her that you are a guest in our home. please stop and leave. now a

civil rights attorney we spoke with says dean chemerinsky, is respected and respected nationwide for his work in constitution rights and believes the dean is well within his rights to remove a student from his private property. well, the governor's office of emergency services announced $39 million will be awarded to 193 nonprofits and faith based organizations to enhance their security and safety. the grants can go towards security measures such as reinforced gates, lighting and inspection and screening systems. applicants had to prove that they were at high risk for violent attacks or hate crimes due to their ideology, beliefs or mission. some of the awardees include san francisco's chabad archbishop riordan high school and the glide foundation. >> all right, pam, time is 449. we have a major traffic problem this morning. frank mallicoat knows all about it. >> i do it is kind of a big

bit of a mess in la fayette, and that's already starting to pick up a little steam here. not even 5:00 in the morning. so hopefully that will not get too crazy because it was a little crazy yesterday. all right, steve, before 5:00 in the morning i'm busy. i, i hope you're not i'm not. >> thank you sir. aren't aren't you glad there's four bores now instead of the old days when there was only three. >> are you kidding going through that? oh, my gosh, having to sneak over to the left side and coming either way, it was a mess . >> thank you. frank. all right, hazy skies. yeah, a little haze around the edges. nice to warm though. turning cloudy, cool or breezy on friday and rain returns on saturday. it will be significantly cooler. we had a rather cool day on monday. yesterday was warm, today will be warm and then right back down on friday. so the whiplash weather continues today 6070s 80s tomorrow we drop off 60 to 68 and on saturday highs will range around 55 to 59 with rain that happened fast and that's the way it looks here. the next

we'll take it whatever we can get at this late in the game. another warm day though. hazy sunshine, nice to warm tomorrow. big changes today though. 6070s 80s i think we can say goodbye to those 80s though they'll really fall off the table starting tomorrow from that system. >> thank you steve. the race to replace longtime congresswoman anna issue. we're going to break down the potential recount and recognizing the contributions of some amazing women during world war two. the congressional award given to the rosie the riveters in washington today i love that my daughter still needs me. but sometimes i can't help due to burning and stabbing pain in my hands, so i use nervive. nervive's clinical dose of ala reduces nerve discomfort in as little as 14 days. now i can help again. feel the difference with nervive.

number of businesses filed that lawsuit just a couple of months ago in february. now more are joining in claiming that this center bike lane that you see behind me here is damaging business, hurting businesses. and then, as you mentioned, pam, in one case, even causing a business to close, they say the bike lane combined with parklets take up too much space on the street, leaving no room for parking, which in turn keeps non foot traffic visitors away. so their lawsuit wants the bike lane to be removed completely and asked for monetary compensation for loss of business, all from the city of san francisco. but the sfmta says that they hear the businesses and they're taking action to appease those business owners. they have added single metered parking spots on the 506 hundred blocks of valencia, and they will also be doing the same along the 708 hundred blocks, though it's not exactly clear exactly how many parking spaces that would add. and if it would

be enough to really make a noticeable difference. business owners saying that's just not enough at this point to kind of help their businesses, and they are set to have a press conference this morning at 9 a.m. to discuss those details. we will, of course, be there and bring you the latest as they discuss it in san francisco. i'm bailey o'carroll, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, bailey, thank you. time is now. 503 an arrest has been made in the case of a crash in concord, where a nine year old girl was killed and 22 year old jesus dorantes was arrested yesterday, say the chp believes he was driving a gray mazda early sunday morning that went off the road on northbound interstate 680. it was a rollover crash. six people were in the car along with the child who was killed. four women suffered major injuries. now dorantes is facing charges that include manslaughter and felony hit and run. >> san francisco mayoral candidate aaron peskin has released an ad campaign that

november general election. >> this has not happened before, and it's a very unique event for us. the process of the recount is very complicated because the campaign, they can request to look at, you know, certain vote by mail envelopes. they can request to look at other things that processes that we do. >> now, the people asking for the recounts have to pay for the recounts. santa clara county registrar of voters says a manual recount will take about ten days. it will cost about $32,000 a day. the registrar in san mateo county hasn't said what a recount their will cost. >> state workers across california will soon have to go back to the office at least part time. now the governor's office just sent a memo to state agencies requiring them to bring workers back into the office at least two days a week, starting in june. some state employees have remained fully remote since the pandemic began. the governor's office says the disparities between agencies is

frame for tiktok to sell the us portion of the social media app, washington senator maria cantwell told reporters that a one year deadline might guarantee success of a bill. a measure passed by the house would require tiktok parent company bytedance to divest itself of the app within six months, or face a ban. tiktok and its users say a ban would be a violation of their first amendment free speech rights. >> well, it was a chance to say thank you to the people who saved his life. when a former bart police officer met with first responders in livermore, jeff harrington went to the foulk ambulance facility in livermore to see the first responder. and they hugged. they talked emotional about what happened last november, when harrington suffered a cardiac arrest at his home. his wife called 911 and she started giving him cpr. two paramedics, dave raymond and emt jason vera, rushed to the home and after 20 minutes they were able to bring harrington back to life.

>> slowly i come out of it in the hospital and one of my earliest memories, you guys visiting me and that's that's a huge tribute to the people that you guys that you would take the time out of your busy schedule. that speaks highly of what you guys stand for and came and see me and i just i don't know how to extend the gratitude for you. i know, i know that they were in tears that you can imagine at this special reunion. >> and for the first responders, it was the first time that a patient they saved came back to personally thank them. >> several people have been asking that same question. jeff i've been in this county for 32 years. guess what? you're the first to be able to have that opportunity to say that. and i can't express the joy that i feel now. and knowing that i'm getting to talk to you. >> pam. mr. harrington was given a fauci challenge coin to honor this special reunion for law

enforcement challenge. coins are a way to recognize excellence, marking a special occasion honoring an officer, and also connecting with the community. >> oh, it's a great story and wonderful that he went down there to thank them in person. yeah first 1 in 32 years. >> the guy said, wow, that's incredible that a patient came back. so yes, see, not all the news is bad. >> true. of course, of course not. >> well, that's all i hear. all right. we do hear a little bit of high cloud deck and some fog is beginning to kind of snake its way. it's shallow again. won't amount to much. there was a lot more yesterday than today, we do have a system, though. it's on the way for tomorrow right there. but it still has a ways to go. so today is good. 46 in reno, 30, truckee, 29, south lake tahoe. mount shasta is 38 degrees. mammoth at 32. system is coming out of the gulf of alaska. another low is going to do exactly what we've seen. i don't know, eight, 6 or 7 times here. it'll come here and it'll

end up right off us. it'll be weaker than last weekend, but any time you get a low upper low, close, low coming in this time of year, it's going to make an impact. this will be the last warm day, the last warm day, at least for a little bit cooler. with rain returning, there's going to be a big drop in the temps starting tomorrow, rainfall. coastal hills could exceed an inch. maybe more than that. monterey down to big sur. it looks pretty good though. half inch to up about an inch. so this will be a dramatic change compared to today. another warm day. little haze. i noticed that around mount diablo yesterday and like that happened fast. but it'll clear out and we'll have great visibility again by sunday 60s, 70s, 80s on the temps. but this is it for the 80s for at least for a while. rain returns on saturday, showers sunday looks better though. on monday could be windy next week. we'll have more on that coming up later. >> thank you steve. she just performed at the inaugural bay fc match. now she is mourning the sudden loss of her father. we're going to show you the outpouring of support for the young teenager and her family,

their area. gays against blight or gab used bright pink spray paint to point out the potholes on the sidewalks at jane warner plaza. the group says the holes could trip tourists who come to the historic castro area, and hopefully this spray paint action will convince mayor breed that it is time to send out a public works crew and address the holes that are here that are creating a danger. >> it will take only a couple. >> activists are also calling on the city to power wash graffiti off the flower sculptures in the plaza. >> our time now 516. ac transit says its most popular bus line will get several improvements along its route. line one t runs along international boulevard from uptown oakland to the san leandro bart station. ac transit is using grant money to make that route faster and safer. they're going to focus on areas where speeding and dangerous driving happened the most. the

is investigating a reported dramatic increase in police response times. now, the latest report from the city found response to the most serious calls rose from 23 minutes in may of 2022 to as much as an hour in may of last year. response times in later months of 2023 were often upwards of 45 minutes as well. at a meeting of the city council safety committee, the city's human resources manager said there may be some kind of data error. >> we did check with our crime analysis unit and our analysts assigned to the communications division, but they may have read the time incorrectly, because if you look at the response provided by our analysts, they quote a 2% increase. and what you're saying is over a 100% increase. so i think our staff may have, read the question wrong, which is why we have the response that we have. >> data does show the response times in the last few months of

the year did fall to lower levels, but still much higher than in previous years. the department says it will work to figure out what's going on and get back to the council by next week. >> our time now 605. a new survey is out. it shows people are worried about the state of education in california. the poll, conducted by the public policy institute of california, finds almost half of californians think the quality of education in california has become worse in the last few years, and 51% of public school parents think their child fell behind during the pandemic. even so, almost 8 in 10 gave a passing grades to their local schools, though few of them gave out a grade of a. now, about half of public school parents say there isn't enough funding for the schools. 58% of people said they would support a state bond to pay for school construction projects. >> state workers across california will soon have to go back to the office at least part

time. now the governor's office just sent a memo to the state agencies requiring them to bring workers back into the office at least two days a week, starting in june. some state employees have remained fully remote since the pandemic began, and the governor's office says the disparities between agencies is the reason for the statewide change. roughly 240,000 people work for the state's various offices and agencies. well, this monday, there's a vote recount starting in both santa clara and san mateo counties for the race to replace retiring congresswoman anna eshoo. two people requested a recount after joe simitian and evan low had a rare second place tie in the primary election. both of them would face former san jose mayor sam liccardo in the november election. >> this has not happened before and it's a very unique event for us. the process of the recount is very complicated because the campaign they can request to look at, you know, certain vote by mail envelopes, they can request to look at other things

that processes that we do. >> the people asking for the recounts have to pay for them. now, the santa clara county registrar of voters says emmanuel recount will take about ten days and will cost $32,000 per day. the san mateo county registrar has not said what a recount there will cost. >> our time now is 607 for the second straight season, the salmon fishing season in california canceled to give the fish population a chance to recover. the unanimous vote was made yesterday by the pacific fishery management council. the cancellation applies to both commercial and recreational fishing off the california and oregon coast. the salmon populations are still trying to bounce back from the drought in 2021. >> well, people driving in marin and sonoma counties are going to see a change on the major highway running through there starting tomorrow, traffic along highway 101 through the marin sonoma narrows will be re lined. ramps at san antonio road will

close tonight. drivers tomorrow morning will be driving through a different portion of the lanes. it is the final phase of what has been a very long project. it began 13 years ago to expand that narrow stretch of highway 101. the entire project, which includes new hov lanes, should be complete by the summer of 2025. this started well below well before my daughter went off to college in sonoma. then all through college, she's like, geez, are they ever going to finish this road? >> i need to send you out there to fix it, man. and help frank mallicoat fix what's happening around the bay area this morning. >> yeah, let's let's get highway 37 redone, too. >> i think that's going to that's going to take some more time. >> yes, it's going to take a long time. they've got some water to deal with there too. we do have some issues out there. the big bugaboo is in the east bay. we had a collision. this just happened around 530. so a little over a half an hour ago, our triple a traffic map shows

680 south in concord. 242 chp telling us two lanes have been shut down. fairly new. as i mentioned, could cause a major backup. and we were told one of the cars was actually on its roof. don't know about injuries just yet. we are in touch with chp and we will get you the very latest. and as you can see, bay point some issues out there. if you're coming out, highway four and the westbound lane, and if you are moving forward and on your way to the calcutt tunnel, highway 24 seems to be moving along just fine. we'll have another update coming up in just a moment. i'm frank mallicoat back to you. >> thank you. frank, an emotional reunion in the east bay. we're going to show you the meeting between a former police officer and the paramedics who saved his life. and you're going to love this. >> he's going viral practically every week, and he's in his 80s. you're about to meet the volunteer at a northern california museum who's making the most of his newfound fame on the internet

street ktvu bailey o'carroll live in the city where some business owners are saying they've been forced to close because of that bike lane. bailey >> good morning pam. a number of businesses, about three, filed that original lawsuit back in february. now more joining following suit with those

original businesses saying that this center bike lane here on valencia street in san francisco, we are in the mission neighborhood. they say that this bike lane is causing really a loss of business. one business in particular says it's caused their business to close. they say it's due in part because it takes away from some street parking here. they say that combined with the parklets, just take up too much of the street. it leaves no room for people who drive here and want to park and then come to some of these shops and restaurants along valencia, it's they say it's really just keeping visitors away. so in turn, that original lawsuit said that they want the bike lane to be removed, and it's asking for monetary compensation for loss of business from the city of san francisco. but the sfmta says that they hear businesses, they're taking action to appease those business owners. they have added single metered parking spots along the 506 hundred

block of valencia. they will be doing the same along the seven and 800 blocks, though it is not clear exactly how many parking spots that would exactly add along the side of the street, or if it would really make much of a noticeable difference at all. now again, more and more business owners saying that they're unhappy with this bike lane and the loss of business it's causing, they say they will have a press conference this morning at 9:00 to address those issues and draw attention to this and bring attention to the city and we will likely hear if they think that what sf mta is doing is enough to kind of curb those issues. we will, of course, bring that to you as soon as that happens. reporting live in san francisco. i'm bailey o'carroll, ktvu, fox two news okay. >> bailey thank you. time is 615. well emergency responders race against time to save people , lives, people's lives. but rarely if ever did they actually meet those patients again. ktvu

saved came personally to thank them. >> be honest with you, they several other people have been asking that same question. jeff, i've been in this county for 32 years. guess what? you're the first to be able to have that opportunity to say that. and i can't express the joy that i feel. no. and knowing that i'm getting to talk to you pretty amazing being able to meet someone that was once a patient not responsive and now up walk and talking and able to spend another day with his family. >> i think it's pretty awesome to be able to do that certainly is incredible. >> harrington receiving a challenge coin to honor their reunion for law enforcement challenge coins are a form of recognizing excellence, commemorating a special occasion, honoring an officer and connecting with the community. harrington says he didn't do the best job in taking care of himself, but now that he's received a second chance on life, he won't take anything for granted. he calls his time with

his wife and two children precious. harrington says the first responders gave him, quote, a beautiful gift. pam, back over to you. >> that is such a great story. >> it's fantastic. >> thank you andre. and more people should go over and thank them for sure. yeah. all right. all the rain we've had here in the bay area is making for a beautiful display of wildflowers. >> i love it. and one place where the flowers are really blooming. mount diablo state park. the poppies are covering the hillsides. shell ridge and walnut creek, also showing some incredible colors. >> many years we didn't see a lot of flowers and spring season. you want to catch the best moment of your life. you know the flower is the best. >> now. other places likely to have the super blooms include black diamond mines regional preserve, coyote hills regional park, briones regional park, sunol regional wilderness east, and anthony chabot regional park. >> a volunteer at a northern

california history museum is reaching people all over the world with his viral fame. i've had the pleasure to see him at work. howard hatch is in his 80s. he volunteers at the sacramento history museum. he started appearing on tiktok's youtube shorts and instagram reels for the museum during the pandemic. now, videos of him working the history museum's antique printing press is getting millions of views. >> we are now at over 3 million youtube subscribers, so we are the most followed museum on tiktok and the most subscribed museum on youtube. >> there's been some instances where i've been recognized around sacramento, even though i'm not dressed like this. >> he's famous. yeah, that hand press printer dates back to 1852. the videos on the museum's account often includes jokes, memes, or other amusing tidbits using the printing press. and i'll tell you my story really

were told was on the roof. doesn't look like it's propped up a lot of traffic. thus far, but with lane closures, believe me, that will be, likely coming soon, let's take a look. that's highway 880 in oakland, and traffic seems to be moving just fine in that neck of the woods. and we're going to take you out to bay point, which has just been a bit of a big problem. all morning, as usual, as those super commuters come around the curve from oakley and antioch. and if you look under the fox two traffic on our triple a camera, you can see that traffic goes way back. so those commuters are about to walk into that accident on 682. so it's going to be a long commute for them. that's the story in traffic. 620 your time. let's send it to steve and get your forecast. >> all right. thank you frank. appreciate that okay. when i when i mention this verbally pamela said wow. so here's your graphic for you here. if you thought, man, we've had a lot of days of rain and not too many dry days, you're absolutely right. going back to december, where we've only had nine

consecutive days without any rain, december 8th to the 16th and march 13th to the 21st. i will say this. this is highly unusual. now again, we're out of winter, but mid winter dry spells of 20, 30, 35 days is very common. not this year. now some of the days didn't have a lot of rain, but we've only had nine going back to december and that that deserves a while because usually we don't see that today is a good day. we don't get any rain tomorrow we'll start to cloud up and saturday. guess what rain returns. so i think we're only going to go 5 or 6 days without any rain. saturday's rain thunderstorm possibility as well. cooler highs mainly in the 50s. maybe an inch of rain. plus for some in the coastal hills. speaking of rain, santa rosa april 11th. average is 30.75. where are they? they're 35.75. and we're going to add to that, russian river has just been cranking along i mean, triple some of those totals up towards cazadero for us today. a little bit of patchy fog, but looks pretty good here. a few high

clouds, half moon bay and santa rosa reporting a little bit of fog. there was more yesterday for sure. 40s, mainly 50s. and if you're in the hills, you're in the 60s, 40s, santa cruz mountains, santa cruz proper, aptos, hollister, then a lot of low 50s morgan hill, san martin, cupertino, santa clara, all in there. the high winds out for one more day. that system coming out of the gulf of alaska, we'll start a big cool down tomorrow and then rain on saturday. but another warm day to day, hazy sunshine, high 60s, 70s and one more day of some inland 80s pam. >> all right. thank you steve. uc berkeley getting a new leader. we have the details on the man chosen to take over

oakland and caltrans crews cleared the wood street homeless camp near interstate 880. now, homeless advocates and community members say they're still frustrated by the evictions and the possessions that were lost in the sweep. they say the existing cabin site that replaced the camp is still inadequate. now, in response, the city of oakland sent us a statement reading in part, quote, the cabin program is considered an emergency shelter and is not intended to be permanent housing. the cabin program is an opportunity for individuals to get connected to permanent housing or to longer terme programs with more intensive services, such as substance abuse and mental health programs. reports out of los angeles indicate the former

interpreter of dodger star shohei ohtani is trying to cut a plea deal with prosecutors. now he's accused of stealing $4.5 million from ohtani to pay for gambling losses. sources say the amount may actually be much higher. investigators say he changed bank settings, so ohtani never received any alerts about any big withdrawals. tmz reports ohtani has been cleared of any wrongdoing. well, it could be some good news for the bay area real estate market. we'll tell you why. one popular new industry could be mak g a big difference

don't win. 746 both the towers, i think the span is 500, i believe i believe somebody that will call me if that's not correct. but there you go, the fog is so the point being, the fog is really low. if it's below 746ft. but there's some there and i don't think it'll make too much of an impact. but the warmth of the sun for many today will be with us. so patchy morning fog we saw that yesterday and it retreated. it was still warm for many. hazy sunshine. nice to warm. highs today will be 6071 more day of some inland 80s. 631 just like that he got busy. you are beginning. where? east bay. >> yeah, yeah, east bay, hayward area. we're going to keep an eye on that big rig. it's been kind of the big story all morning long, you see it right there, center cut. actually, we're in san jose, let's go to san jose first, shall we? and talk about traffic down there. it has just been fabulous down there outside of a little bit of construction showing a little love to the south bay. no issues. what so

ever. and there's your traffic, about a half hour ago, that was not an issue. but as you know, they will come and they are coming in a big way. that is, your bay bridge is going to take you a good 20, 25 minutes to get through. we do have some video, hopefully, of that big rig situation in hayward. this was on the ramp at 238 north to 880 south. it's been closed since about 130 this morning, was a big rig against the car. the big rig, of course, on its side, it was leaking some fuel. they were able to contain that. it was. it's also got 80,000 pounds of cargo trying to get that off, get it back up, clean the road and open up that ramp right now. and it's going to take a while, as they say. so far. 130 we're already at six 35 hours strong. so if you're heading that way, stay away. avoid that at all cost. that is a look at traffic at 633. let's toss it back to dave okay frank. >> thank you. well happening today a vote by the oakland port commission on whether to change

the name of the oakland airport to san francisco bay. oakland international airport. now, ktvu is alice wirtz is at the airport. now to tell us about the pushback against this good morning alex. >> good morning dave. yes, we're here with the early travelers at the oakland airport. now, the name change, ever since it was announced that the port was considering this, changing the name to include san francisco bay in its name, there's been a lot of pushback. one of those who is especially taking umbrage with this is mayor london breed. she says that oakland should be able to polish its own image with its own name, and she would prefer that they not use san francisco in their name. >> oakland is an amazing city, and oakland deserves its own brand, its own opportunities, and the attention should be focused on making the airport what it needs to be similar to what we've done with sfo. and

yes, i made it clear to the city attorney that, if necessary, we should pursue legal action to stop this name change. >> it was last night in san mateo that the supervisors decided that they didn't want the city of oakland or the oakland airport or the port to rename the, airport after the san francisco bay. and later today, there will be a meeting that will be held by the oakland port commission. that's going to determine whether or not they will change the name, we're back here live at the oakland airport. we'll go back to you in the studio now, dave. >> all right. thank you. alice. >> all right. the state is providing $39 million to nonprofits and faith based organizations to enhance security and safety. the grants can go towards security measures such as reinforced gates, lighting and inspection and screening systems. as applicants

had to prove that they were at high risk for violent attacks or hate crimes due to their ideology, beliefs or mission. some of the recipients include san francisco's chabad archbishop riordan high school and the glide foundation. >> time is now 635. the city of santa rosa, now considering closing parts of downtown to traffic this coming summer, the city council is considering temporarily shutting down two blocks of fourth street near courthouse square, part of an effort to attract more visitors to the area. now, the idea is to make a walkable and bikeable area and bring more people to the area's shops and restaurants . that closure would be similar to what's happening in the area early on in the pandemic. supporters say it will bring in more foot traffic. now, critics say taking away parking and quick access to storefronts could hurt business. the city council has not made a final decision yet. >> activists are calling on the city to fix some potholes in san

francisco's castro district. they say they pose a unique risk to the area. gays against blight or gab used bright pink spray paint to point out the potholes on the sidewalks at jane warner plaza. the group says the holes could trip tourists who come to the historic castro. >> hopefully, this spray paint action will convince mayor breed that it is time to send out a public works crew and address the holes that are here that are creating a danger. >> activists are also calling on the city to power wash graffiti off the flower sculptures in the plaza. >> our time now. 636 ac transit says its most popular bus line will get several improvements along its route. line one t runs along international boulevard from uptown oakland to the san leandro bart station. ac transit is using grant money to make that route faster and safer, focusing on the areas where

speeding and dangerous driving happened. the most. the project will include speed cushions to keep motorists out of the bus only lanes, while letting those busses drive smoothly. >> uc regents have named a new chancellor for uc berkeley. the board of regents unanimously approved richard lyons, who has served as associate vice chancellor for innovation and entrepreneurship, the former dean of the haas school of business and an alumnus of the university. lyons says his goal is to provide every student with a true sense of belonging and to encourage educational innovation. >> the word belonging ultimately is just so tied into culture and shared values. so when i talk about values, leadership being a more inclusive set of institutions that's serving not all of california and beyond, that's a really important part of values leadership. last, last topic, lyons takes over as chancellor on july 1st. >> he will earn an annual salary of $946,000. >> our time is 638. stanford

women's basketball head coach tara vanderveer officially retired. she's the winningest coach in ncaa history. she's retiring after 38 seasons at stanford. coach vanderveer has coached some of the game's greatest players and it's really hard for many to imagine her not being on the sidelines next season at stanford, vanderveer stood in front of the cameras to talk about her accomplished agents, saying she can't imagine a better life and that retiring is not an easy decision. >> sometimes it's just you're ready. and i just felt, i'm ready. i never really thought i would be. i kind of just, you know, just felt like maybe i would, you know, kind of just keel over on the bench. but, you know, i mean, i just, you know, i because i love it, i love it, i love it, and i believe her. >> vanderbilt also says she wants to spend more time with her mother, who's turning 97

years old. >> coach vanderveer will remain at stanford as an advisor, but has already made a significant difference at the school. >> i don't think it's measurable, you know, because as i think along the way, she's done everything to fight for women and for women's basketball . >> now. katy steding was one of vanderveer's very first recruits at stanford, played for her in the 1996 olympics, followed her into coaching many of coach vanderveer's players became coaches because of her influence and encouragement. >> all of the championships, the success. but i think for her it's more than that. it's helping other other female, you know, coaches and athletes and just trying to raise that bar. >> vanderveer's last day as coach will be may 8th, which marks exactly 39 years since she was first hired at stanford university. >> bravo. all right. time is now 640. there are more and more indications that the international olympic committee will award the 2034 winter games

to salt lake city. committee members were in utah this week to check out athletic venues. the ioc praised salt lake city for its top facilities and enthused for the olympic games. the city hosted the 2002 winter olympics, and they have been jockeying for years to get the games back again. utah has spent millions of dollars to make sure the old competition sites are still up to today's standards, so we can imagine, without trying very, very hard, just how full of love and life this place will be when we welcome the world in 2034. now. munich, germany talked about putting in a proposal, but the cities are not bidding for the 2034 winter games because of issues that include the high cost involved that game will be awarded this summer. time is now 641. now try to picture this. you walk into a

restaurant and you're greeted by someone halfway around the world. the restaurants that have started outsourcing their workers and how exactly this works. hmm'hmm all right, three people who found a remote island used palm leaves to spell help. >> take a look. coming up new in our 7:00 hour of mornings on two, the real life castaway story of survival. >> wow. and there's a new study exposing a harsh reality. how many hispanic and latino professionals say they feel sidelined for being themselves in corporate america

four days later, her father suddenly died from a heart attack at the age of 51. it has been a painful time, as you can imagine, for the family, but friends and community members like bay fc and 49ers legend ronnie lott, who the family met at the soccer match, are offering support. >> he really, really told me, like over and over and over again. he was just like, i'm just so proud of you. like, i can't even express to you like i'm just so proud in our most time of need, when my daughters are brokenhearted and it breaks my heart. >> and they've made it so much easier to be able to like, process all of these things. >> now, this weekend, the martinez family will hold a special memorial service for her father. the donations are helping family members who live out of state, fly here to the bay area for the service. >> in today's dollars and sense, bay area cities have been facing a lot of empty commercial real estate. but it looks like that
