here. if we can get it just a bit bigger, there is a two car crash after treasure island blocking the left lane, and it's causing more congestion than normal. just know that there is stop and go traffic from west grand avenue back to the desk. >> thanks, amanda. fighting the homeless crisis is a key goal in most of our bay area cities. in san jose last night, the city council passed a budget in hopes of seeing immediate change. abc seven news reporter gloria rodriguez joining us live in studio. and, gloria, how is the money going to help get people off the streets? >> good morning kumasi. despite a tough fiscal year, the san jose city council unanimously passed a multibillion dollar budget 120 million of the $5.3 billion budget is earmarked for homeless solutions. mayor matt mehan is calling it the most significant and strategic investment in addressing unsheltered homelessness in the history of the city. now, as part of last night's vote, the council also approved shifting more than $20 million in measure e funds. funds from the property tax transfer tax were slated to be for affordable housing. some

will now go to more immediate solutions, such as complying with the san francisco bay regional water quality control board by clearing homeless encampments near its waterways by june of 2025, or facing hefty fines. >> we have a pathway now to being in compliance with with our stormwater permit and the clean water act, but to do that, we have to follow through on the investments we've outlined in this budget. >> over the next year, it's estimated 1200 people will be moved off the streets and into alternate live sleeping sites, 600 into temporary shelter, 500 a new safe sleeping sites and 110 new safe parking spots. homeless advocates tell us they are not a fan of congregate shelters, but they would like to see more transitional housing options live in the studio. gloria rodriguez, abc seven news thank you, gloria. >> oakland police have made several arrests in connection with a series of illegal sideshows. all of them happened

over the weekend. since then, police say they've arrested five people, recovered three firearms and towed three vehicles. authorities believe around 300 vehicles and 200 spectators engaged in the activity. investigators are identifying other cars that were involved and may track those vehicles to the homes they're registered to, and told them people living in a group of rvs parked on one san francisco street could be forced to leave as soon as next month. >> the city is planning a new four hour parking limit on winston drive near lake merced, which is pretty close to stonestown galleria. more than a dozen rvs are parked there. as you can see, a group of people who live in their vehicles now calling in the city to help them find a new place to park. >> we're here because we don't have anywhere else to go. we don't have a safe parking site. we don't have stability. why do you guys want to kick us out when we're not harming anyone? >> we are not like criminals or something like that. we are humans. we're like all people, but different lives. >> sfmta says they're working to

find safe parking resources for people who live there. residents say they haven't been offered any better alternatives, and some say they'll stay when the parking enforcement starts. >> the plan to bring a new city to solano county, taking a key step forward, elections officials have announced that the california forever project has qualified for the november ballot. so next, the solano county board of supervisors will decide whether to order a report on the impacts of the project before placing it on the ballot. the next meeting is june 25th. california forever is aiming to bring a city of as many as 400,000 people to that area between fairfield and rio vista. >> if you're interested in the future of san francisco's powell street today is your chance to see what that future could hold. the union square alliance is holding an open house for the powell street improvement project. if you're watching us. yesterday we told you about the plans. these designs call for refreshed sidewalks and upgraded parklets, but the biggest idea

may be this light installation that you can see here on the screen above, powell and market. the price for the project is initially going to be $4 million, but the chronicle reports that the whole project could cost up to $30 million. if you want to go the open house is from 4 to 7 p.m. it's going to be at 111, powell street. you may remember that is where uniqlo used to be. >> giant pandas from china, closer to coming to the san francisco zoo, the board of supervisors approved a plan to allow city departments to raise all the money they need without having to use taxpayer dollars, and amanda, we know this is not going to be cheap. the city is trying to raise at least $25 million. >> yeah. and kumasi the mayor needed supervisors to approve an exemption to ethics rules to allow city departments to ask private entities for donations, even if they do business with the city. and she got that yesterday, a list of donors will be made public. mayor breed has touted the huge economic impact she expects the pandas to bring. she hopes tourists from around

the world will come to see the animals once they arrive. >> when we start to look at our economic recovery here in san francisco, you know pandas have an opportunity to draw large crowds and a consistency of support and will be an attraction here in san francisco . >> supervisor asha sapphire is running against breed in november's mayoral election. he supports the panda project, but thinks the money could be better spent elsewhere. like on city programs that have faced budget cuts. >> it can be all about the pandas, but kids are more important. kids every day of the week over pandas. you've got to put the money in there as also an animal rights group that is opposed to the idea of bringing pandas here, claiming the zoo is mismanaged and in need of repairs, claims the zoo has denied. >> the zoo says the pandas could arrive as early as next year if all works out. it will be the first time since 1985 that pandas will call san francisco home. now let's get to drew for

a check of the weather, and we'll take you to sfo this morning with a live look outside. >> some of the aircraft taxis this morning. you can see on the horizon we have a little bit of cloud cover. the airport reporting partly cloudy skies right now with temperature of 53 degrees, with a northwest wind currently at 12mph. if you're traveling later today, it's really quiet across most of our major hubs, from la to new york to chicago. we have no threat of any severe weather. pretty comfortable temperatures. it's denver, though, that's in the midst of a heat wave right now. an afternoon high of 94, and they could see some isolated severe storms later on today. but atlanta, seattle, honolulu all looking fantastic back here at home. future weather showing you it's a cooler afternoon today. we're about 15 degrees cooler compared to yesterday afternoon. no heat advisories. in effect, our warmest cities will go into the 80s. today we'll stay in the 60s and 70s around the bay shoreline with some patchy cloud cover along the coast. so looking at your weather wellness today, good to moderate air quality, pollen levels moderate when it comes to

tree pollen. high when it comes to grass pollen though in the uv index of ten out of an 11 today, which is very high. so highs today were close to average a lot cooler than yesterday. as we head into the upcoming weekend, we are going to find some windy conditions. we'll show you those numbers coming up in just a few minutes. reggie. >> drew, thank you. ahead at six, the local fast food workers who are striking today. then the two concepts on the table to change those controversial bike lanes in the mission district and pope francis under fire again after allegedly using a gay slur for t

future therapists, lawyers and politicians some met with vice president kamala harris at the white house last week. >> we don't want, you know, i'm sorry. and you know, this is so terrible that happened to you like it's past that, you know, it's happened too many times. your prayers honestly don't mean anything. it doesn't help me. i've had to deal with this for ten years. it'll never get easier. no matter how many times i talk about it. >> according to the k-to-12 school shooting database, more than 1600 school shootings have happened in the us since the 2012 sandy hook shooting. there are plans to honor the sandy hook victims during today's ceremony. back to you at the desk. >> thanks, amanda. san francisco transit leaders are considering changing controversial bike lanes in the mission district. we told you about this yesterday. sfmta looking into two different concepts that would move the bike lane along valencia street from the center to the side. one design would put cyclists between moving traffic and parked cars and parklets. another would move the

parklets and the parked cars into the street, with cyclists going between those places and the curb. now the center lane bike, the center bike lane opened ten months ago. a lot of businesses blamed the project for a drop in business because it removed some parking spots. we talked with one business owner who wants to see bike lanes run through neighborhoods, not commercial corridors. >> north beach clement, the marina they're all thriving and none of them have a bike lane. we have a bike lane. and the month that the construction started made valencia street die . >> the earliest sfmta could potentially start this process would be the beginning of next year. happening today san jose taco bell workers are heating up the picket lines. workers at the location on south king road will strike to protest against the excessive heat and labor law violations. some staff complained that kitchen temperatures have risen to nearly 90 degrees due to the

company not repairing the store's ac. they're also demanding local lawmakers create advanced training for workers to teach them their workplace rights. >> new at six, more than 75% of the union workers that used to operate san francisco based anchor brewing say they'd be open to returning to the company. that is, if the new ownership asks for them to come back, according to the union. the employees who said they'd come back are, quote, ready and excited to get to work. some of those who did not commit to returning say they would if they had concrete information or plans for reopening the brewery. >> we're getting an inside look at a humanoid robot factory in china. oh boy. the x robots lab is focused on enhancing facial expressions and emotions. what on earth. >> oh my gosh. okay >> much too much really. >> this is okay. >> not oh oh the hat.

>> so i guess the robots are mimicking what the person is doing across from them. >> oh oh video. >> there are tiny motors installed in several spaces in its head. the company says it takes two weeks to a month to produce a humanoid robot, and it costs about $207,000. the main purpose for now is museums, but eventually they want to take over the world for sure. i added that part for sure, what they say is they want this to help in health care and education industries. but, you know, read between the lines. it's over. everyone >> health care. >> we do need health care support. we do need from from this. >> yeah. >> first of all, you don't have to yell. sorry. you don't have to get loud with me. >> oh, man. >> second of all, we do need health care support the sun. >> if there ever were a time to get loud. yeah now is the time.

to hear or see on your wednesday morning. but if you rely on the bay bridge, you're going to want to leave your house a little earlier today. that's because a two car crash after treasure island is slowing you down. you can see speeds are down to nine miles per hour here. let's take a live look at the bay bridge toll plaza. as the cameras kind of turning around, you should know that metering lights are on that backup you have stop and go traffic to the foot of the maze and it's giving you a live look. just pass the metering lights there. you see in the distance. it's going to be an issue for you more than half an hour to get across the bridge. but we do know that it is quite the backup again, because of a two car crash after treasure island that's blocking the two left lanes, causing more congestion than normal. on this wednesday morning. >> thanks, amanda. now we're checking in with ginger zee. >> she's live with a look at what's happening on gma this morning. good morning ginger. >> hey reggie kumasi nice to be with you this morning. so yes here on a wednesday we'll start with the story that i know

gay people into the church, but to have caution when it comes to them becoming priests. next at 630, which local company now valued at more than $1 trillion, then elizabeth holmes fighting to get her sentence overturned. what the judges in the case told

blocking the left two lanes up until about ten minutes ago, but you can see that residual delay still very present. again, that was a live look at. speeds are down to about 11mph. and there is a backup stop and go until the foot of the maze just no metering. lights are also on so it is a slow commute. this morning. let's give you another live look. if this doesn't get you out the door early, i don't know what else will do some good advice. >> amanda, can we just have one day where the bay bridge is not a mess in the morning? that would be very lovely. here's a live look outside from our east bay hills camera. some hazy conditions, but we do have generally clear skies out there. you look at the current sky conditions, the only place that's really reporting any sort of thick cloud cover right now. half moon bay, right currently along the coast. so temperatures right now we're in the 50s around the bay shoreline. we're still hanging on to some of that mild air inland 60s from brentwood to concord, 61, that current temperature in cloverdale. so we'll take a look at daytime highs inland today. it is a lot cooler today. yesterday our daytime highs

between 100 and 1 102. and our hottest cities inland. we'll stay in the 80s today. so about 15 degrees cooler. expect a lot of sunshine today inland. no heat advisories around the bay shoreline today. it's quite comfortable with those temperatures. close to average sunny skies. this afternoon we'll have daytime highs mainly in the upper 60s to the mid 70s. and then along the coast we see some cloud cover. right now. a little bit of sunshine breaks out this afternoon. daytime highs will go into the upper 50s by about 4 p.m. >> reggie drew, thank you. in the south bay, the city of san jose trying to do something about their homelessness crisis in their new budget, which just passed last night. more money is put aside to help those without a place to live. abc seven news reporter gloria rodriguez joins us now. gloria, what does this budget do? >> well, reggie san jose's earmarking 120 million of its $5.3 billion budget for homeless solutions. that's just over 2% of its budget. so here's how it's going to break down over the next year. it's estimated that 1200 people will be moved

off the streets and into alternative sleeping sites. that's 600 into temporary shelters, 500 to new safe sleeping sites and 100 to new safe parking spots. advocates of the unhoused tell us they are not fans of congregate shelters, which provide temporary shelter to groups of people, but they are glad to see more transitional housing options. todd lincoln is the executive director of the nonprofit agape, a silicon valley. they deliver food, water and more to the unhoused. >> a lot of my colleagues and peers that do advocacy work don't agree with me on this. they want the money earmarked solely for permanent housing. and my philosophy is, is if we don't get the people off the streets, out of the fields immediately, they're not going to be alive long enough to get the permanent housing. if and when it does come as part of last night's vote, the council also approved shifting more than $20 million in measure e funds. >> funds from the property

transfer tax were slated to be for affordable housing. some will now go to more immediate solutions, and that includes complying with the san francisco bay regional water quality control board by clearing homeless encampments near its waterways by june of 2025, or facing hefty fines. mayor matt mehan is calling the budget the more significant and strategic investment in addressing unsheltered homelessness in the history of the city. live in the studio gloria rodriguez, abc seven news thank you, gloria. >> this morning we are hearing from members of the jury in hunter biden's trial. they found him guilty on all three counts for lying about his drug use on a federal form in 2018 when he bought a gun. now, initially, they were split on whether he was guilty, but then they say they focused on the fact that he knew he was an addict when he filled out the background check. they say they worked well together and never discussed politics. >> i'm thinking that he did a bad thing and actions have

consequences. >> in my opinion. this is a waste of taxpayers dollars. >> i think they should. they could have just fined him. >> hunter biden could face up to 25 years in prison, but legal experts say prison time is unlikely because he's a first time offender. he's also expected to go on trial here in california in september. he's charged with failing to pay more than $1 million in taxes. >> eight people with suspected ties to isis have been arrested in the u.s. they're in federal custody. they're facing deportation. amanda, the really interesting thing is they were allowed to enter the u.s. last year, reggie. >> sources tell abc news the migrants, originally from the central asian republic of tajikistan, entered the u.s. legally through the southern border sometime last year. the individuals were initially allowed to enter the u.s. while monitoring them in recent weeks. we know that authorities actually discovered information indicating ties to isis. now they were detained in new york, l.a. and philadelphia, the department of homeland security's inspector general has

raised concerns over the vetting process for migrants. after analyzing asylum applications over a six year period up until last year, he concluded the technology, procedures and coordination were not fully effective when screening non-citizens and some asylum seekers. but other homeland security experts say it's possible federal authorities let them into the country to help lead law enforcement to a bigger threat. >> we may have not immediately scooped them up because we wanted to see who they were affiliated with, sources say. >> there is not enough evidence for terrorism charges, but all eight men are likely to be deported back to the desk. >> thanks, amanda. we've been following the story about elizabeth holmes, her attorney in court in san francisco, for an appeals hearing yesterday. holmes was not in court. she was convicted in 2022 on four felony counts of defrauding investors in theranos for now defunct
