at our camera in san jose. pretty quiet this morning in the south bay, and you can see that cars there, they're driving at the speed limit. they're getting through pretty good. and just a little further from where this camera is, is where there is a deadly crash on state route 87 that was at the taylor street off ramp. that off ramp had been closed. it is now back open and so if you are driving in that area, you don't have to worry about as many delays at this time of the morning. >> kumasi thank you. gloria if you are in san francisco's east cut financial district or yerba buena neighborhoods today, pay attention. be some cool surprises. starting today, eight new businesses are opening their doors in those neighborhoods. thanks in part to the city's expansion of the vacant to vibrant program. this provides free rent for three months to help businesses get off the ground with the potential to extend the lease. those aren't the only places where we are starting to see new businesses. abc seven news reporter lena howland joining us. with the new life being really breathed into the emporium in downtown,

formerly known as the westfield mall, lena. >> kumasi there's a good chance you may start to notice some new faces, as there are seven tenants moving in to the emporium in downtown san francisco for the last few years. major tenants have packed up and left the mall, including nordstrom. but things are now looking up. one of those new tenants moving in is the yerba buena community benefit district executive director scott rowett says the space is exactly what he wanted, noting this isn't just a mall but an office space too. >> we know now is the time and now is the time for everybody to get on board, reinvest, reinvigorate and refocus these neighborhoods. and so we want to lead the charge to do that. >> his business will bring around 30 employees who will begin working in the space in the coming weeks. other new tenants moving in include a retailer selling sustainable products and a japanese consumer

goods store live in san francisco. lena howland, abc seven news. >> thank you lena. we continue to follow the story of that controversial center bike lane on valencia street in the mission district of san francisco. so here's the new twist that would literally lead to a twisting lane. according to the chronicle, sfmta is now planning to let each merchant decide what they want to do out of two options. so the bike lane is now going to be no longer in the center. it's going to go to the side. if you have a parklet, you could keep it right where it is next to the sidewalk, or you can push that parklet out so that the bike lane would be next to the sidewalk. what this means for cyclists is depending on what the merchant decides to do, you'll be weaving in and out of the parklets. merchants have been blaming the center bike lane for a decline in business because it eliminated 70 parking spaces. abc seven spoke with the

business owner, who's run a coffee shop on valencia for 33 years. >> financially, definitely. we're hurting and we had the place up for sale about three months ago. >> best option for both safety and to support the local merchants is likely a side running design. >> sfmta will present its proposals to the board of directors on tuesday. >> dozens of medical staff and supporters are protesting against closing an east san jose trauma center. yesterday they marched around regional medical center with a makeshift coffin. they said this symbolizes the extended time it will take to transport trauma patients to the nearest trauma center. when msi closes its trauma center on august 12th. hospital staff say it could be life threatening if access to care is impacted. >> it can be life and death, and if valley is full, where it is going to go, going to go to stanford, which is about 33 minutes away. this every minute counts. >> msi representatives say they

are closing the trauma center because of a decline in utilization, and less than 2% of patients will be affected. hospital also says they're prepared with transition plans, including adding 20 more beds to its emergency departments. flight attendants who say they are working harder than ever post pandemic, picketed at sfo as part of a worldwide day of action. union flight attendants for american alaska and united rallied outside 30 airports nationwide yesterday. they are picketing to draw attention, including a letter including letting people know that they do not get paid for the time passengers spend boarding planes. >> oakland police are investigating an attempted burglary at a marijuana dispensary in enterprise way. investigators say yesterday morning, four suspects in separate vehicles rammed through the security gate of the marijuana dispensary called 420 market. the suspects never got into the building. the dispensary owner says between 50 to $60,000 worth of damage was done to their fence, and their gate. the suspects ditched one of the cars before fleeing the

scene. san leandro police say that same car was used just minutes before in a separate incident at a liquor store. this one happened at the gourmet liquors in san leandro around 345 in the morning. we had this incident as breaking news yesterday morning. in the security video, you can see the car backing into the store. three people got out. they started rummaging around. the owner says the people tried to steal an atm, but they were unable to get it. if you have any info that may help police find these suspects, call san leandro or oakland police. >> the federal government, upping its effort to combat the san francisco drug crisis. agents are now doing nightly operations in the tenderloin. the u.s. attorney's office say that the patrols have resulted in drug seizures and numerous complaints against dealers. all of this is part of a coordinated effort on the local, state and federal level to crack down on fentanyl trafficking. >> we know summer vacations are getting underway. if your plans are taking you to florida over the next few days, you may want

shift. so something we all need to take advice and advice on not barbecuing or if you do, being very careful this weekend because the fire danger increases as the winds shift from a westerly to a northerly component as soon as late tomorrow. so we've got the sea breeze again today, starting out with the clouds, the golden gate bridge down through half moon bay. but you can already see partly sunny conditions there at the airport. and those winds by the afternoon in the 20 to 30 mile an hour range from the coastline. it's 54, in san jose, 52 san francisco, and from pier 39. camera you can see it is a lazy start there for a friday for all the sea lions, but a lot of sunshine all the way across the bay, even at the coast today. but as those winds kick up, they're really going to get quite gusty from point reyes over 40 miles an hour. half moon bay, montara, pacifica over 25. and then as you get inland, yeah, you'll have that sea breeze all the way into the livermore valley right now, 25 mile an hour winds out through concord, low 80s today. so that's a nice warm up in and around average. the south bay,

yesterday, the court upheld the

right to access the abortion medication, even if a person. gloria. today we could get another ruling regarding abortion access in an emergency situation. >> that's right. reggie. the supreme court still has 24 opinions to get through before its term is up. and it could release four more today. now, one of those cases could decide whether federal law protects abortion access in emergency rooms. when a woman's health is at risk. it comes on the heels of yesterday's decision on the abortion medication mifepristone. the court was unanimous, ruling abortion opponents lacked the legal right to sue over the fda's approval of the medication. the ruling means that mifepristone will remain available for people to use. however, the fight is far from over. >> this is the same district court that already has allowed several states the states of kansas, idaho and missouri to intervene. we continue the fight . it is not over. >> we'll be back with another case with better standing next time. >> while the court ruled against

this case, there were hints for anti-abortion groups to continue their fight. in one part of the opinion, justice brett kavanaugh wrote that the plaintiff may, quote, present their concerns and objections to the president and fda in the regulatory process, or to congress and the president in the legislative process, suggesting if a different president were in office, they may find a path to restrict the medication outside the court's. reggie. >> gloria, thank you. a luxury airline catering to dogs is coming to the bay area. bark air debuted last month with service from new york, la and london. we wondered, would they come here? the answer is yes. san jose. the airline lets people travel with their dogs in style. from plenty of trees to an on board spa. this shoe thing is wild. each plane can hold up to 14 humans, but bark air will only sell ten tickets, so it can accommodate up to ten dogs. a domestic flight for one person and their

four legged buddy will run $6,000 8000. if you're making it international, come on, rich people with rich dogs. next is 630. why people who live in the south bay may have to pay more for their water then the proposal, which could help some people get there. homeowners in in higher risk

and after a potentially dangerous dutch roll where the plane rocked back and forth just the latest incident, boeing must respond to. >> and it is cool with clouds this morning. look outside right now as people make their way across the bay bridge. lisa is here to tell us what we can expect for the weekend. >> then a big honor for lucille. all the national recognition for the giants mascot. we had lucille on the set here. well it seems like yesterday, but, you know, four times with the panera , which is what i call the pandemic, the panay, if you will . time is but a construct. and

it was probably three years ago. but anyway, he was up here anchoring with us one day during midday live. and it was so much fun. he's a riot. >> very fun. we'll share that with you in a moment. >> but we got to see what's going on with the weekend and today. >> yeah, it's brighter out there, which is a good thing. we had a little bit of june gloom this morning, but from walnut creek you can see it is brightening up a bit of a marine layer there still in the distance, a little hazy. 52 downtown. it's 56 in oakland, 57 in hayward. good morning, san jose, 54. and right here, our exploratorium camera. it is quiet upper 40s in the north bay with 45 in petaluma. so you need the jacket this morning. it's going to be sunny all day long from our inland valleys to the shoreline, but we're a bit cooler this morning, so we've had that marine layer with us and pockets of partly cloudy conditions and then as we get into the afternoon, those typical onshore winds up to about 30 miles an hour. so by 8:00, still in the upper 50s getting out of the 50s by noontime, we're in the low 80s

inland with mid 70s in the san ramon valley, near 70 along the bay shore. so it is warmer for us today, anywhere from 2 to 4 degrees at the coast, though those winds will be providing the gusts right along our beaches from point reyes to half moon bay. and then you're going to want to stay tuned for a look at an advisory over the weekend that will include high fire danger for some of us. gloria. yeah, right now we want to tell you about a car fire that's causing some minor delays over in the north bay. >> so this is where it's at? it's over at westbound 37 after 121. pretty close to the sonoma raceway. and we're told that a vehicle is on fire in the center divide right now. this is just causing some minor delays, but the speeds are down to 16mph. so we'll let you know when this clears is all right. >> thanks so much. all right. over the past few years, we've been all telling you about the headlines regarding the demise of san francisco's downtown. we've seen the changes ourselves

firsthand. we also know there are real efforts to revitalize the city and bring new life to areas that need their help. one of the efforts the city has found success with expands today. this is the vacant, vacant to vibrant program. it offers free rent for three months to business owners and after that they can negotiate usually lower rents. today eight new shops are opening in the east cut financial district and yerba buena neighborhoods, and there are seven more businesses about to open just a short distance away. abc seven news reporter lena howland is here to tell us about that. at the city's biggest mall. >> hey, reggie, good morning to you. the emporium center, san francisco, formerly known as the westfield mall, is under new ownership and they are preparing to welcome in seven new tenants. this comes after a difficult past few years, with major tenants packing up and leaving after the pandemic. the new tenants include a retailer selling sustainable products and a japanese consumer goods store. but at least one of the new tenants is not a retailer. the

yerba buena community benefit district is moving in to lease part of the mall's office space. >> it's right in the heart of our neighborhood. and so where could we put our space that is right in the core? where could we put our ambassadors and our cleaners and our public safety people? that really is in the heart. >> i think the revival of like, public spaces, is going to be really big for building community and just allowing, neutral place to meet, to socialize. >> shoppers we spoke with said it's critical for the community, meaning more shoppers, but also new jobs for some. the yerba buena community benefit district tells us they will be bringing in around 30 new employees. they are expected to start working in the new space in the coming weeks. live in san francisco lena howland, abc seven news. >> thank you lena. this morning we are learning more details about a shooting in auiet neighborhood on the peninsula. police say a person was hurt in

san mateo yesterday, but they ended up in san carlos along el camino real. now police are not saying how that person got to san carlos, but they were taken to the hospital. eventually, police were able to locate the suspect and take them into custody. neighbors are pretty shaken up. an eight year old says he was playing in the backyard. at first. i heard police sirens out of my backyard window and then i heard gunshots. >> three of them. i started turning off lights and closing curtains. that's smart. and i liked locked myself in with my mom. >> oh my goodness. so as far as a motive or the relationship of the suspect and the victim, police say they are working to learn more. we are keeping residents in. we are keeping residents in those neighborhoods updated on the situation as it was unfolding through the abc seven news bay area app, we send you instant updates and breaking news customized for where you live. just make sure you turn on the apps notifications. >> a live look now at our okay

camera new this morning, we're learning a southwest flight from phoenix to oakland experience a scary issue. last month it's called a dutch roll, and that means that the plane rocks from side to side in a severe way while it's flying. it happened less than an hour after the boeing max eight took off on may 25th. the pilots were able to regain control. they made it to oakland safely. modern planes have systems to prevent dutch rolls, but according to the faa's report on the incident, the plane had a damaged backup power control unit. we're also learning this morning that the faa is investigating a different incident that could potentially be serious with a boeing jet, gloria. this time it's with the 787 plane. >> it is reggie aqui. and according to a new report by reuters, boeing discovered hundreds of fasteners have been incorrectly installed on the fuselages of some undelivered jets, now up to 900 bolts per plane were not tightened the right way. boeing says it's working to figure out what happened and is fixing the issue

. they say there are no safety concerns because the planes have not been delivered, and there are no concerns for planes that are already in service. the faa says it's investigating and will be working with boeing to fix the production system. but this is concerning because it's just the latest in a series of really serious quality control problems at boeing. this year, and that includes the alaska airlines boeing 737 max nine that had the door plug blow out. kumasi. >> thank you, gloria, in the south bay. you could soon be paying more for water. san jose water company is looking at raising water rates by 11% in 2025. they held a public debate about this yesterday. advocacy groups and residents say the increase is well above the current inflation rate, which is about 4. >> the question being asked is not just is water affordable, but are we doing what we can to minimize the inflation rate? and

this, this, this rate increase is absurd given the inflation rate, the changes could take effect on july 1st. >> it's estimated the average bill could go up by 10 to $11 a month. >> oakland's newest affordable housing development is now open. the acts charity hill apartment, cherry hill apartments has 55 units to a stretch of international boulevard near 94th avenue. that complex includes everything from studios to three bedroom apartments and a community health center. >> the community involvement, involvement in terms of helping to define what the needs are, helping determine what the project is, providing community support and ongoing support. i mean, these projects need to be integrated into the community, and so the partnerships are key. >> the development is part of a larger investment in east oakland. this daetz smart growth council has allocated money to projects focused on holistic neighborhood change. >> new developments now an agreement between unionized muni
