explosion. >> good morning. it's thursday, september 23. the first day of autumn. i'm elizabeth wenger. >> i'm sydnie kohara. good morning, everyone. your time is 6:00. there are some road closures so let's go to gianna franco with the latest. >> reporter: good morning. yeah, it's going to make it difficult for commuters to access eastbound 24 through there. moraga way is closed between camino pablo and brookwood so use a detour around brookwood then get back on camino pablo to access the freeway on the eastbound side of 24. so just a heads up through there. anne will have more information coming up. we have a sunny forecast on tap. tracy has details. >> yeah, plenty of sunshine, warmer weather. day one. warmup. here's a look at some highs today. lower 80s from concord to livermore, mid-70s in oakland and fremont, 77 degrees in san jose. of 69 in san francisco. the mid-70s in vallejo and san ra fes. over the weekend the 90s.

we have your weekend forecast, the seven-day forecast coming up. back to you. >> thank you. pg&e trying to cap that gas line break in downtown orinda. this is the third gas leak in the bay area in the last 24 hours. anne makovec is in orinda and joins us by phone where, ann, main street i understand in the downtown area is closed? >> two blocks of moraga way closed down right in downtown orinda and you can smell gas authorities of downtown. i'm at the bart station up the hill the smell of natural gas is in the air but fire officials have assured us that safety is not an issue. two blocks are affected, between camino pablo and brookwood. it was a 2" gas line broken around 11:30 last night as independent contractors working for the city hit the line with a backhoe. those contractors left their truck there and bolted out of the area apparently which cause some difficulty for pg&e trying to get to the area to fix the

leak initially. those contractors were digging as part of a project to expand pedestrian walkways downtown. now, the situation is less dangerous than official first thought. at around midnight they thought it was a 6" pipe that was broken and started evacuating homes a little more than a dozen homes. then they realized that it was only a 2" pipe and that evacuations of homes were unnecessary. much smaller and slower leaks than we saw in san bruno obviously but safety is the key. that's why they have had those two blocks of downtown closed down. they are waiting for businesses to hopefully get a chance to open up for the morning at around 6:15 or 6:30. >> isn't there a number that contractors who are digging can call to find out where these lines are located so this doesn't happen? >> reporter: that's what they are supposed to be doing but there's so many of these little

lines it's no surprise that they would get broken into from time to time. there were a couple other leaks that i want to talk about that rattled nerves. one at california state university in hayward a leak reported at 10 to 8 and that was the first day of school there. pg&e crews were able to fix that line and no classes were cancelled and nobody was evacuated but that obviously was freaking people out. gas leak in millbrae as well last night as part of el camino real was shut down temporarily at around 6:00 p.m. so you can see this kind of stuff happens all the time. because of the san bruno situation the emergency officials are making sure that everything is safe. they have crossed all their ts and dotted all their is when it comes to evacuation and safety of the immediate area. >> certainly, bay area residents on edge after that explosion on the peninsula. thank you very much, anne makovec in orinda this morning. the three final victims of

a pipeline explosion and fire in san bruno have been officially identified as members of the bullis family raising the number of dead to 7. today san mateo county crews are ready to begin hauling away the charred debris left behind after the fire. heavy equipment will move in to remove burned cars and trucks williams is debris from destroyed homes. the goal is to clear all the debris so rebuilding can begin. new details have emerge in how a veteran motorcycle cop in san jose tried to make a false arrest of a teenager in the. the connecticut fronted the teen's parents at their front door. he was apparently upset that the boy had been fooling around with his stepdaughter and then went into the house. >> then they heard a thud sounding like a body hitting

the floor. he sort of with his back up against the sofa and the officer is towering over him with his right hand on his duty weapon. >> if he is charged with a felony false imprisonment which restraining someone's liberty under the color of authority or by force, that's a serious felony and that officer would not be able to continue on as a police officer if convicted of that. >> right now, that accused cop faces no charges. but he is on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of a criminal investigation. more frustration for a.c. transit riders. they are facing more service cuts effective in december. the a.c. transit board voting unanimously last week to cut nearly half of weekend service 2/3 of the overnight lines to save more than $11 million. it means 90 job cuts. that's reductions are expected to save more than $1 1 million. >> you better damn well have a good explanation. >> it's unavoidable in the sense that our financial level is such that we can't afford to do otherwise. >> i really don't know how i would get home and back.

>> you got blind people. you got people on crutches. you got all kinds of people out there who need help. and you talking about cutting. i bet none of you don't put your mercedes in the garage. i bet you drive then. so why can't you do what you are supposed to do and take care of the people that need your help? >> this will be the third time this year that a.c. transit has reduced services to save money. a gas leak in orinda. let's go to gianna franco to see what it's doing to the downtown commute. >> reporter: it's going to affect your drive trying to access eastbound 24 in orinda. moraga way is still shut down between can paladino no pablo and brookwood. you can detour around brookwood to get back to that area to get on 24. ,avoid the area, use an alternate instead through there. some delays around there. elsewhere we are getting

outlook. kcbs radio's matt bigler is in san jose with more including an explanation from the mayor. matt, good morning. i mean, we're talking about budget cuts all over the bay area, a.c. transit, police officers, and now this. >> yeah. this is going to hit san jose pretty hard. we are talking about 14 positions out of the redevelopment agency. this is on top of 62 positions that were cut from the same agency one year ago. last september. this is the agency that's responsible for revitalizing neighborhoods, for bringing new businesses into the city. the reason is or one of the reasons is sacramento has been raiding redevelopment budgets in cities across california to balance the state budget. we talked to san jose mayor chuck reed about this e said that basically, that strategy will backfire because redevelopment agencies are responsible for bringing lots of jobs into cities. >> we have dozens of companies that are located in san jose with thousands of jobs that have been created in san jose with the assistance of a

redevelopment agency funding. that unfortunately is ending because the state is take the money and the economy is hitting the budget in a negative way. >> reporter: now, the agency will likely focus its remaining dwindling budget on just a big ticket items. some of those are the proposed downtown baseball stadium that could be for the ace. that's right over that way. and then a major upgrade to the city's convention center about a block that way. so they are still going to do some work. they won't be able to focus in on some of the neighborhood projects that have been very popular. we should note that san jose's redevelopment agency was once the largest in the state until the recession. i'm matt bigler live in san jose for cbs 5. wow, tough times for san jose, matt, thanks very much. matt bigler with kcbs radio. unemployment lines are getting a little longer and that's a surprise to most economists. let's go to jason brooks with kcbs and cbsmoneywatch.com. jason, good morning. we just heard about the redevelopment agency in san jose and economists you say are surprised? >> yeah, sydnie.

hours anne makovec is on the phone a gas leak in arinda has been capped. this is the third gas leak in the bay area in the last 24 hours. we have been following this story. our anne makovec is now on the phone from orinda. is the downtown area now open? >> reporter: it is going to be open momentarily. apparently crews have barriers that they are about to set up. so within the next few minutes, the two blocks of downtown that have been closed for the past several hours will be re-opened to traffic, though it will still be something you're going to need to get around because pg&e is going to continue its work. they have crimped offer the gas line, though. it was a 2" gas line that broke

about 11:30 last night as independent contractors working for the city hit that line with a backhoe. they were digging apparently as part of a project to expand the sidewalks in downtown orinda. the situation is less dangerous than official first thought. they were first concerned that it was a 6" pipeline that had broken around midnight so they started evacuating 14 homes around the area then realized that it was only a 2" pipe, it was a feeder pipe and they realized that the home evacuations were unnecessary. so overnight those people were rest assured they could stay in their homes. but that two block area downtown has been closed down since around midnight. got some problems for the businesses there because there is a peace coffee and nation which is very popular for breakfast so they have lost out on some early-morning business and some prep hours. everyone hoping to get back to normal soon. it sounds like from the city this should be happening within the next 15 minutes that roadway will be re-opened moraga way in downtown orinda.
