city. >> saving downtown san francisco. the delicious new option to entice visitors and locals to the city pub. i use it pretty frequently just i mean not when i'm on a time crunch because it takes a little bit longer. >> b.a.r.t. riders speaking out about their experiences on the transit system. we're exploring what it will take to bring more of them back in our "b.a.r.t. on the brink" series. [ chanting ] it's not over till it's over. the new fight to keep the a's in oakland. good morning and happy wednesday. i'm nicole zaloumis. stay in oakland. those were the chants, they said it was like a wwe wrestling event. people were so animated and standing room only i think it's going to happen, g. >> it's -- it feels like it's a possibility once again and you know, a's fans we are rooting for you and hoping okay land gets to keep a team. good morning, i'm gianna franco and reed cowan has the morning off. we have to get you out the door and out and about and jess, how's the forecast looking?

you know, yesterday i was over in your neck of the woods, gianna, over in pacifica and it was so windy. crazy windy. the same trend today along the coastline with wind gusts anywhere up to around 30 miles per hour this afternoon. this is what we're starting off with this morning. a lot lighter as we're waking up this morning. we're sitting in the 40s throughout the bay. and nice and cool down into livermore all the way into the santa clara valley. with these clear nights, oh my gosh, i mean the overnight lows really dip down fast and we were forecasting that all week long. these overnight lows are getting really chill little so as you head out the door this morning you are definitely going to notice it especially if you have a routine in the morning. if you walk the dog or if you have to walk to the car, turn it on as soon as possible to get the heat going and it's a chilly morning for us even into san francisco. sitting at 53 degrees. now here's what we're looking at as we e head into the next couple of days. high pressure is moving its way in. we'll continue to see the offshore wind allowing for a little bit drier conditions into this afternoon. to add to that, the offshore winds will get pretty breezy in areas like

half-moon bay and pacifica anywhere up to around 25 miles per hour this morning alone. we continue to see that trend into this afternoon. so breezy conditions for us today along the coast. lighter conditions in our inland areas. but daytime highs today, unlike yesterday, now they're above average. so let me drop this and show what it's gong to like like as we head into this afternoon. we're starting to see 70s return into the forecast just north of the golden gate bridge. upper 70s in the forecast -- excuse me, lower 70s for us widespread throughout the bay area. so slowly this week we're going to start warming up a little bit more. for now over to you, g. all right, thank you. let's talk about the freeways this morning. if you are getting ready and out the door early, bay bridge toll plaza, live look here. it's off to a great start. metering lights are off. and no delays heading into san francisco easy ride right now across the upper deck. getting on b.a.r.t. this morning. early trains just getting under way and in fact three minutes ago. so so far, so good. yellow, blue, red, green lines all moving along no troubles or issues. so if that is your commute this morning, we're

looking pretty good. and over here, live look at 880. you can see both directions of the roadway everything is moving along nicely if you are headed northbound towards the bay bridge, clear ride there. southbound no delays as you head over down into hayward. now taking that ride over to the san mateo bridge, definitely maybe plan for just a couple of extra minutes making that connector on to 92. but if you are up early out of san jose, everything is clear 101, 280 and 87. nicole? do you ride b.a.r.t.? half a million people a day used to. but the pandemic and crime scared most away. >> it's lost about 60% of its average daily riders. >> now b.a.r.t. is on the brink. all this week we expose what's wrong and what it will take for b.a.r.t. to survive. >> we're taking a closer look this week on all of b.a.r.t.'s problems. and potential solutions. right now, there's

no connection to livermore and the san joaquin valley and at one point, it was considered a missed opportunity. but now a former east bay mayor who fought hard for the extension no longer believes b.a.r.t. is the best option. and in fact, he says point-blank b.a.r.t. is a train wreck. so now the valley is coming up with its own solution, a missing link that could be a win for both b.a.r.t. and commuters. here's juliette goodrich. >> reporter: let's take a ride back five years to 2018. our lead story? b.a.r.t. to livermore. >> should trains run all the way to livermore? east bay commuters waiting on a key decision tonight. >> reporter: that key decision a proposed b.a.r.t. extension that would run along 580 from the dublin, pleasanton station to a new station near livermore. at the time, livermore's mayor was john mar shand. >> we have been working to bring five miles of b.a.r.t. for 40 years. it's time. >> reporter: but according to

the b.a.r.t. board, it wasn't time. and voted against a b.a.r.t. to livermore extension. mayor marshand's view on b.a.r.t. now today? five years later? >> b.a.r.t. is a train wreck. >> reporter: we talked to the mayor just after he rode b.a.r.t. from pleasanton to oakland to attend an alameda transportation commission meeting. >> there's a guy smoking crack on my car. i'm going to fold it out and start -- you know, smoking right on the train. >> reporter: he took photos. >> so this is -- this is monday and this is the guy smoking crack. >> reporter: mayor marshand says he would still like to see more public transit options. but he joins other residents who are convinced b.a.r.t. just isn't the best option for them. let me ask you, last time you rode b.a.r.t.? >> i'd say about a year and a half ago. >> reporter: took you a while to remember? >> i would use it if i felt like it was a viable option. that it was safer. >> people no longer think of b.a.r.t. as safe. you know b.a.r.t. used to be fun. but b.a.r.t. is now -- is become an

ordeal. >> reporter: but driving in heavy traffic is also an ordeal. so this is 580 heading toward livermore on a good day. but there is always traffic. and trucks driving along this route. and no public transit. once you pass the dublin pleasanton b.a.r.t. station. >> i think b.a.r.t. in a death spiral and i think one of the really saving graces for b.a.r.t. may be to actually -- it's another project that i'm working on. and that's valley link. >> reporter: valley link is a proposed commuter rail from the dublin pleasanton b.a.r.t. to the san joaquin valley adding stops along the way. tracy, and north lathrop. the regional rain authority is leading the effort is. valley link full speed ahead? is this a go? >> we are full speed ahead. currently in the environmental and preliminary engineering pace. >> reporter: how far along are we down the tracks so to speak, to seeing a valley link? >> so our goal is to complete construction by the end of 2027. there are currently

approximately 200,000 vehicles a day going over the altamont pass coming from the san joaquin valley. and there is not a rail transit station. this is much like an e b.a.r.t. style train. except it wouldn't be run by b.a.r.t.. simply be delivering the commuters to bart's front door and that's -- in essence would bring the fare revenues back up because we're bringing the customer to their front gate. >> reporter: mayor believes it is just the link b.a.r.t. needs. >> so the real saving grace is going to be transit. and that's going to be valley link and hydropowered train. zero pollution. coming over the altamont pass and carrying thousands of people. to connect with b.a.r.t.. and as i said that's i think going to be b.a.r.t.'s saving grace. >> and we know all too well that altamont pass commute is a tough one for the mornings. but right now, let's get a live look from a b.a.r.t. train the morning commute is officially under way. we're seeing a few people out there. this is the

green line. which connects people all the way towards sfo all the way into antioch. we continue the look at the experiences of different vieders around the bay area here on the morning edition. and our shawn chitnis is live today at the millbrae b.a.r.t. station with a perspective of someone who uses the red line when traveling to and from sfo. hey shawn, good morning. >> reporter: hey, good morning. and so yeah, this was really interesting to hear someone who doesn't really have a direct connection from b.a.r.t. to their community. but still makes the effort and finds it a convenient option when possible to travel to the airport from her home. passengers making their way to sfo by b.a.r.t. can get dropped off right at the airport's international terminal. >> i'm just getting back from a long flight from singapore. and i'm use it to get home to palo alto. >> reporter: among those using the red line to get home, who says she tries to use b.a.r.t. when she can even though she has to transfer from caltrain in-between her home and the

airport. >> i use it pretty frequently. not wean i'm on a time crunch because it takes a little bit longer. >> reporter: she lives in an area not directly connected to b.a.r.t. but she uses the service not just to get to the airport, but also to get around san francisco. >> i like it when i'm going into the city and like when i'm trying to go to the mission. and you know, going to restaurant and get to parts of the city that caltrain can't access. >> reporter: she knows safety concerns remain for many riders and financial challenges have left b.a.r.t.'s future uncertain. but even without more access around the region, she plans to keep riding b.a.r.t.. >> i like it and you know, i realize it's a lot to build more like -- you know, infrastructure to get it more places. but overall, yeah. i -- i think it's a good public transit system. >> reporter: and so yesterday when we were there at the airport station in the late morning, we didn't see too many people using b.a.r.t. to head into their particular community from the airport. there were a decent number of people who were arriving into the airport. because it is worth noting she

ultimately travels a short distance we melt somebody else also using it to come here to millbrae. but still it's worth appreciating that after a 13 hour long international flight, she was still waiting patiently to use b.a.r.t.. back to you. >> sometimes the airport ride makes it pretty easy to get back to the city. >> from some of the comments that we have heard from viewers, seems like many are ready to just write the system off altogether. but they may not have stopped to really think about what a bay area without b.a.r.t. would look like. >> cloudy really erode the overall quality of life here. >> i would say my life would be slower and be more expensive. >> it's not going to go away. but what if it did in our max darrow takes a look at that scenario tonight at 11:00. stay with us through the week for more of our series "b.a.r.t. on the brink." you can find all of our stories on a special section on kpix.com. time is 5:11. the home of the san francisco giants is getting a new and one of a kind

look. when you can tee off. and a last-minute pitch to keep the a's in oakland. but before we head to break, how is your commute going this morning? here's a live look from the green line. i'm going to correct myself. this is actually sort of that u shaped line that goes from daly city all the with nurtec odt, i can treat a migraine when it strikes and prevent migraine attacks, all in one. don't take if allergic to nurtec. allergic reactions can occur, even days after using. most common side effects were nausea, indigestion, and stomach pain. ask about nurtec odt.

never judge has thrown out a proposed ballot referendum to let voters there decide on the proposal that would bring the a's to las vegas. now the team's move to sin city is looking like a done deal. but jocelyn moran tells us a's fans are not giving up at least not yet. [ chanting ] >> the bottom of the 9th. two outs. there's still a chance. >> reporter: one last at-bat. a's fans showed up at city hall tuesday to make it clear they have not gone away. [ chanting ] >> people started to really get energized and enthusiastic. and then as the mayor was starting to speak, you just could tell there was an energy that was just jolted into the fan base. >> are we -- [ bleep ]ed? >> yeah. >> reporter: mayor sheng thao is there with them. >> we are here today to send a

very, very loud message. and that message is, the oakland a's should stay rooted in oakland. [ cheering and applause ] >> reporter: she said the city has shown a commitment to make a stadium happen in oakland adding that they have options. >> we have the road map to get this done. las vegas is just getting started. right? square one. whereas oakland has a finish line right in our sights. hey, if you want a ballpark at the coliseum. we got you. >> reporter: so where do things stand in las vegas? we talked with howard senior reporter at the nevada independent. >> nothing can really be done until major league baseball either approves the row location or denies it. and i think that's what everybody kind of waiting for. >> reporter: the proposed ballpark in vegas would be on the strip at the site of the tropicana. but no new renderings have been made public. >> i have heard through the grapevine it's a nonretractable

roof stadium. only on nine acres. next week maybe. >> reporter: he says you are seeing opposition and support in vegas. the raiders have had success in getting fans to the stadium. but he says many are visiting fans and as opposed to a few home games every season, baseball is different. >> you are talking about, you know, a two week home stand. trying to get fans from out of town and trying to get you know, local fans to go. it's a real challenge. >> reporter: for jared along with many other local fans, they're holding on to one last hope. and they've shown this last season, that they can show up. >> it's -- tiring for fans for sure. but one thing that i know for a fact is that this has unified fan bases from all different teams. >> giving fans a little bit of hope, nicole and you used to take your kids all the time to a's game. >> we were season ticket holders and here's the thing. they're offering two locations and more money and jessica, better weather. ooh. yeah. i mean, okay. here's the thing about the weather. you can't beat bay area weather. and everyone who

comes to the city deep, deep down knows it too. especially during summertime when everyone is dealing with triple digits and san francisco is in the 60s. but hey, let's take a quick look at what's going on this morning. it is chilly as we're starting off the day and we see clear skies outside right now. temperatures sitting in the 40s and this is a lot cooler than yesterday morning so definitely find something to bundle up in. it's off to a cool start this morning and we're sitting in the upper 40s near san jose. 50s in the forecast for us in the heart of san francisco. and stretching all the way north from novato all the way up intopetaluma. more 40s for us this morning and daytime highs today, they're not going to warm up too much more compared to yesterday. now here's the thing. on futurecast, we're seeing clear skies. we see clouds slowly starting to roll into the forecast into thursday and friday. but other than that, i mean we don't have a rain in the forecast as of now. it's just going to be cloudy skies heading into our weekend setup and temperatures right around average. upper 60s lower 70s. and see this system that just swept its way throughout? that's going to bring in the clouds and it's going to bring in rain to the north of us closer to the pacific northwest but buy the time it hits us

we're just seeing cloudy skies and the next chance of showers actually rolls its way in next week. so we'll watch the long-range models and i mentioned it earlier. daytime highs today around average. but match that with the gusty conditions we see today along the coast, it's a mild day for us here in the bay. despite the fact that we have some gusty conditions just along our coastline. so if you live near half-moon bay, you definitely noticed it yesterday. it was breezy as can be in pacifica but inland areas, nothing over the pass. 60s along our peninsula for daytime highs and 70s off into inland areas and 70s in the north bay stretching all the way down into the santa clara valley. it's a mild fall forecast for us here in the bay area. let me show you the next seven days. as we extend into this weekend, we're going to see a little bit of mix of clouds and sun. cloudy skies as we head into thursday and friday. as that frontal system moves its way in. that will cool us off just a little bit with the temperatures and then we're right back to 70s and sunshine as we head into

saturday. it's not until next tuesday that's the next chance that we'll actually see the showers return into the forecast. and that's not only in for the inland forecast, it's a very similar trend for the bay too. notice how we see gist a little bit of a cooldown into thursday and friday. then showers as we head into next week. right around the corner as early as tuesday. so we're starting to get into that wet season that we've been anticipating and it's finally here in the bay. we had a little bit this week and we're going to get a lot more as we head into midportions of next week. for now over to you, g. thank you. let's talk about the freeways right now. and a live look as we kick things off this time around with the golden gate bridge. which is looking beautiful this morning. no delays or any backup right now. in fact, visibility looks great and not an issue at all for anyone making that ride out of marin county. headed over into san francisco, via the golden gate bridge, now is a good time to be out there on the roadways. that's the advantage of waking up early right? less cars out there and less delays and you will get there a little bit faster. that same story goes for the bay bridge toll plaza. metering lights are off. no delays. clear ride over into san francisco this morning. if you are coming out of the city on the lower deck which is

countercommute, very lightly traveled right now and no construction either the upper or lower deck this morning. everything is moving along pretty nicely. skip the roadways right now. a lot about b.a.r.t. as the "b.a.r.t. on the brink" series continues. checking in on travel times. everything is good to go for now. no delays. everything is right on time. b.a.r.t. just getting rolling at 5:00 a.m. this morning. all right, live look here at 880. the nimitz freeway. so far, everything is moving along pretty nicely. not too far from the coliseum, this is a live look near hegenberger. traffic though looks pretty good. taking 880 down to the san mateo bridge live look here and you can see there's a few cars making their ride westbound over to 101 but the travel times only about 13 minutes. that is it to go from the nimitz over to the peninsula side. so if you are crossing the bay that way, traffic is moving along really nicely with no delays or issues. newspaperrers, jags, both teams coming off the bye weeks and niners trying to salvage their season. they're going to be all right. can they get back on track? we'll have that in

the "red and gold report." but before we head to break, how about a live look at the green line? it's moving smoothly on this wednesday. as we continue our "b.a.r.t. on the brink" series. all week long. we'll be right back.

we go into san francisco. low 50s right now as we're waking up so bundle up before you head outside. here's what we have all the way up into the north bay. more 40s there and into this afternoon, our daytime highs are not going to warm-up too much more. we're seeing clear conditions right now allowing the overnight lows to really drop fast. this afternoon the offshore winds really, really wick up along the coast. that allows for drier conditions in our inland areas too. so this morning alone, notice how we see about 25-mile-per-hour winds in areas like half-moon bay and lighter conditions to kick off over near bodega bay but all the way up into fairfield, we're experiencing those winds as well. that's the trend for us into this afternoon. clear skies and windy conditions and temperatures just a little bit above average as we head into this afternoon. so i want to show you what that's going to look like for us today on the map. upper 60s in san francisco across the bay bridge into oakland. once we stretch off into the east bay. low 70s today for the daytime highs. this is abysm forecast to get out there and get some fresh air. just keep in mind. some of

costly crime making it hard for the gas stations to stay in business. >> reporter: this am p.m. gas station is just the latest business that has been targeted by smash and grab robbers. somehow the workers tell me that a group of individuals had a backhoe ram into the gas station nearly killing a worker and stealing money from the atm machine. now the customers tell me that they want something to be done about this ongoing crime in oakland. >> okay land is doing way too much. it's -- it's -- it's a problem out here. it's driving businesses away. it's stuff that i have not seen since the '90s. >> reporter: brandon says he is born and raised in oakland. and comes to this gas station off of west grant avenue pretty often. and tells me hearing about a group of people using a backhoe to break into the wall to steal cash from the atm, for

him, it was -- >> it's not shocking. oakland -- i have seen worse with the shooting and all, this is materialistic stuff and this can be replaced. lives can't. so i rather see this than somebody lying in the street. >> reporter: according to oakland police, the robbery happened on monday at 2/15 in the morning. and police found broken glass and the vehicle still partially through the front window. the burglars had left. taking with them an unknown amount of cash from the atm. the gas station is still currently open for business. do you feel safe coming up here and getting gas. >> yeah, i was debating on going to chevron dodge the street. but i said no, this is -- this is my home. so i'm safe. >> reporter: this burglary is what many in the community are calling a trend among oakland gas stations. like on last tuesday i spoke with the chevron station off of redwood road. who had been broken into twice in a week. having damages

totalling $20,000. and the owners tell us they no longer provide an atm in their store due to past thefts and we reached out to the mayor's office about what's being done. but in an email she stated she is focused on implementing a comprehensive approach to community safety. and is using technology to build cases against organized criminal networks. and we are still waiting to hear back from councilmember carol fife's office. but brandon thinks the community can help too. >> i think community rally against all these these folks and start speaking up. we have to start speaking up. i know you know, snitches get stitches. but what are we here -- i mean we have to protect these businesses, what are we going to have? we're losing -- businesses left and right. we got elderly that can't even go to walgreens. >> reporter: and opd says that this is still an open investigation and they are asking for the community to

help. if you have any information to please come forward and call the burglary unit at the number located at the bottom of your screen. >> we thank her for that report. nobody was injured in this particular incident thankfully. but it does affect lives and it afetes the owners of the business who's now probably rethinking do i want to stay? you saw the sign. they don't want to stay open for the graveyard shift. that takes someone out of their job. >> the person she spoke to made very good point you know. elderly and families sometimes don't feel safe and comfortable going to certain places and i mean. that's a lot of effort. to get something like that. it's just -- unfortunate. it really is. the time now is 5:41. the countdown is on to thanksgiving. and digiornio is putting a new spin on the traditional holiday meal. >> is that turkey on pizza? we're going to talk about that. but before we head to break, how's your commute going this morning? maybe you are getting ready to hop on the roadways or hundredth the green

some major banks. the banks are referring questions to autopaymented payments company the clearinghouse which says it's working with banks and customers to resolve the issue. now this glitch affected about 850,000 transactions roughly 1% of the payments moved across the clearinghouse. salesforce ceo marc benioff and mayor breed have announced dreamforce will return next year to san francisco. last year, ben i don't have threatened to pull the event out of the city if issues like drugs or homelessness impacted the conference. now that it's confirmed dreamforce 2024 is set to take place on september 17th through the 19th. and with thanksgiving a little more than two weeks away, digiornio is changing up the traditional fare. introducing the thanksgiving pizza. the frozen pie will contain all of the beloved holiday staple foods as toppings like turkey, gravy, diced sweet potatoes and green beans and cranberries and cheese. all on a thick detroit

style crust. the thanksgiving pizza costs $11.23 and it's available online for a limited time at digiornio's website. >> that's different. well, it is no secret that san francisco's union square has an image problem. may used to be to go to place for shopping frees but quickly became known for the smash and grabs. now mayor breed just made a pledge to make it the safest place in urban america. the city says you can expect more police officers and security guards and the city is also betting on a celebrity chef. tyler florence, who just opened up two new cafes in union square. our betty yu spoke with him about getting rid of the ghosts of what union square used to be. >> we want this to be a place that you kind of like come through every day. because it just make you feel good and it's humanity. >> reporter: look at it right now. celebrity chef and food network star tyler florence is doubling down on his efforts to

breathe new life into the heart of union square. just in time for the holiday season. >> which is your favorite here? >> so it's really hard -- to choose from. my -- there are -- >> reporter: miller and lux provisions inspired by his chase center steakhouse, offers sweet and savory options on each side of the plaza. >> three, two, one. [ cheering and applause ] >> reporter: city leaders celebrated the official opening of the patisserie and rotisserie. it's part of san francisco's larger plan to bring more people downtown. tile receiver betting bus on its comeback. >> i got a chance to speak to hundreds of people yesterday and today. and i feel like we healed somebroken hearts. i really feel that. because when people walk through, they -- they didn't know this be they couldn't remember how long the places had been abandoned. [ inaudible ] >> reporter: tyler wont a bid to open the two cafes. >> thank you for supporting and believing in san francisco.

>> reporter: mayor breed said 27 new businesses have opened in union square over the last 15 months. >> you have to agree with the audience. and it's been a mess. but that was yesterday. and today is today. so i think we all need to decide that like -- collectively as a city, that -- that we're all going to be in this together pushing forward. >> reporter: and he's committed. tyler signed a nine year lease. when you walk in here, what do you want people to feel? >> well, i want you to feel warm. >> reporter: the cafes will be open daily. >> so people are walking to the park and they -- they'll stumble across the place and hear the music and they'll smell the fresh baked croissants and taste the coffee and feel like san francisco is a wonderful place to be. >> well, he has beautiful offerings there, do you think he is offering a thanksgiving pizza. >> no. although tyler florence can be very creative. you know, what he was saying is having people come in and have that warmth and hunger you know.

just watching that made me very hungry. but it's really what it's going to take for san francisco to bounce back. but you need the arts and you need people to go to the theater. to see these beautiful museums we have and these great restaurants kind of lure them back in. >> i love that she pointed out that he signed a nine year lease. that's commitment to san francisco. hopefully we can stop by and get a couple of those pastries. not thanksgiving pizzas. jessica, would you go for the digiornio thanksgiving pizza. >> the green beans is what threw me off. i'm okay with the turkey but like the cheese. >> the gravy? and the green beans. not a fan. >> i think it's pushing it for me but also onlyst in the morning. maybe reask in a bit. but no, a quick look at what's going on in the heart of san francisco where that's at and all throughout the bay area. this morning we're in the 40s with clear skies above us throughout the santa clara valley. all the way up along the peninsula into the heart of san francisco too. you can see the bay bridge with just ha little bit of light behind it as it starts -- the sun starts to rise this morning. we're sitting in the 50s near

oakland. 50s into san francisco. and as we extend into this afternoon, our daytime highs today, we're going to see some 70s in the forecast for us off in the inland areas and 60s still along our coastline. it will be a little bit breezier today along the coast anywher up to around 25 miles per hour winds in areas like half-moon bay and pacifica. that continues into this afternoon. about 25-mile-per-hour winds just around 8:00 a.m. too. so we are experiencing these gus i can mornings just at times but in the next couple of days the big story for us? well, we just have some clouds rolling their way in. nothing too elaborate. this system right here will continue to track to the north and we get the leftover clouds from it. so all the rain just tracks to oregon all the way up into washington and just see a little bit consider conditions thanks to it. and we're going to see the clouds as well. sediments today, sitting just a little bit above average and i want to show you what that looks like on the map. as you head outside today, you are prepared before you know what -- before you have head outside is what i meant to say. upper 60s and lower 70s widespread throughout the bay area this afternoon. we're off to o cool

start this morning. it's very, very brisk out there. frost advisory is about to take -- about to be in effect in areas up into the north bay but here's what we have down into the santa clara valley. heading into this afternoon, we are going to warm up with those clear skies. 60s and 70s in the forecast for us. it's a beautiful day for us today as we head into midportions of the week. we'll see the clouds like i said roll in as early as thursday heading into friday. no rain associated with this system. once we head into next week, by early early tuesday, even late night monday, that's the next chance of showers that we'll see here in the bay area. so we're starting to experience that wet season here in the bay. it's on its way and we noticed it this week alone with about a quarter inch of rain up in the north bay and we'll continue toe see that trend into next week. so sunny skies for us this afternoon. cloudy conditions to wrap up this week. upper 60s lower 70s back and forth for the bay as we head into our weekend forecast. gianna? thank you, jess. as you get ready to get out the door this morning, grab that jacket and get going on some of the freeways. not the golden gate bridge though. that looks great. so marin county commuters you are still good to go to have that extra cup of joe at home this morning. but if you are traveling say

towards the bay bridge this morning, that's getting busy if you are making your way over to the altamont pass. a lot of brake lights there as well. this is one of the supercommuter routes. a lot of people making the ride out of tracy getting on to 580. a slow and go commute. first reports of a crash unfortunately near grant line. so no word yet blocking lanes but it's already busy for anyone heading over into that area. and you have some brake lights as you approach the dublin interchange. a live look at the bay bridge toll plaza. you can see it's definitely starting to back up a bit on some of the approaches. if you are coming off eastshore freeway, especially, that always tends to be our slowest ride for anyone making that trip westbound over into san francisco. so plan for some brake lights already starting in and around that area. let's get a quick peek at traffic coming out of the south bay. say good morning to our commuters coming out of say san jose, cupertino. if you are making that ride through sunnyvale and santa clara for the most part we're doing okay. however, we are starting to see that bulk of traffic, the crowded freeways, beginning on that northbound side of 101

just as you get a little closer to the 280 and 680 connector but really no major accidents or issues blocking lanes. just that typical ride for a wednesday. nicole? time now 5:53. it's one of the hottest new songs. why hit maker bad bunny doesn't want you to stream it. but before we head to break, here's a live look from the red line as we continue our "b.a.r.t. on the brink" feeling sluggish or weighed down? could be a sign that your digestive system isn't at its best. but a little metamucil everyday can help. metamucil's psyllium fiber gels to trap and remove the waste that weighs you down and also helps lower cholesterol and slows sugar absorption to promote healthy blood sugar levels. so you can feel lighter and more energetic. lighten every day the metamucil way. and for a delicious way to promote digestive health try metamucil fiber thins.
