all because of some concrete breaking away on the upper deck. now, and what experts are saying about the structural integrity of the bridge. and a surfer comes face to face with a shark on the peninsula, and he has the bite marks to prove it. that, would you get back in the water? hear what he told us today? good evening. a san francisco neighborhood that's known for its restaurants and nightlife may soon be getting a new addition. a sober living facility. so i'm standing right where it is planned. it's at the site of an old, old motel on octavia and lombard streets, right here in the marina. it will have 68 beds, and full
7:01 pm
sobriety will be required, which is something new for the city. as kenny choi tells us, the idea is to completely remove recovering addicts from harmful environments, but others worry about what it may bring to the neighborhood. >>steve adami spent two decades in and out of prison, struggling to escape a vicious cycle of drug addiction and crime. >>when you see that picture on the left, what do you think? who was that guy? you know, it's somebody i don't recognize anymore. it was definitely somebody that needed a lot of help and support to get his life together. and that's what i got. >>tackling san francisco's drug and homelessness crisis is now adams mission as executive director of the salvation army's the way out program. >>areas of the city have been overrun by public drug use, open air drug markets and crime. i don't want that model in my neighborhood either, but that's
7:02 pm
not the model we're proposing at the marina. >>the recovery housing facility providing 68 beds at octavian lombard street in the marina district, will be operated by the salvation army in partnership with the city's department of public health. it's an abstinence based, two year transitional housing program for people who have already completed long term drug treatment. >>this model program has not been, the type of program san francisco has used in the past. >>everyone is required to work, save money, and get drug tested. >>sadly, many of the residents of this facility will relapse. statistics just show that to be the case. and when they do, they're now in our neighborhood. >>while many residents believe drug free transitional housing can help clean up city streets and even help nearby businesses, others like maurice fitzgerald, say they're concerned about relapses and participants who have criminal backgrounds. >>we have concerns that this will increase break-ins of cars, that desperate drug
7:03 pm
addicts will do whatever they need to do to find the money to get their fix. >>adami and other city officials say ... offenders, arsonists and people who have committed crimes against children won't be allowed. garrett collard is a resident at a similar recovery housing program. he says he would be back on the streets if it weren't for salvation army's pilot program. >>you're just right back where you started. you know, you're you know, you go in six months, you're clean. but if you have nowhere else to go and you can't stay in another program or go to some sober living environment, you're back on the streets. >>adami points to participants like collard and two recovering addicts like himself as reasons to support the city's break the cycle initiative, aiming to add hundreds of new treatment and recovery beds across the city. >>the current administration and the department of public health and the department of homelessness are now implementing new abstinence based strategies because they've proven to be effective.
7:04 pm
>>it's programs like this that are giving adami hope. others can follow in his footsteps to. >>there is a health commission meeting tonight that's expected to put the plan closer to final approval. so late last month, mayor daniel lurie touted the grand opening of another similar sober living facility, the first one in the city at the civic center motor inn on ninth and harrison. it's part of his plan to add 300 treatment and interim housing beds at five sites across the city at the end of the summer. all right, let's get you a live look at the richmond san rafael bridge. you can see traffic still a mess. as emergency repairs continue into the evening. so taking a look at our traffic map right now, one lane is still closed in each direction on the bridge. caltrans says it is hoping to have all lanes open tonight by eight at the earliest. the result is gridlock heading both east and westbound. so the culprit is this piece of unstable concrete on the upper
7:05 pm
deck of the bridge. our lauren toms heard from caltrans and a structural engineer about what went wrong and what it all means for the safety of the bridge. >>traffic across the richmond san rafael bridge on monday came to a halt when emergency crews were deployed to fix concrete, breaking up on a portion of the bridge's central upper deck. officials say a pothole had split through the top part of the bridge. uc berkeley structural engineering professor hassan astani tells us that while it is an emergency fix, he's not worried about the safety of the bridge. >>the good news is that this is, in my view, looking at just one picture. it looks to me very, very likely this is just local one. place. this is called punching shear. so it is not like concrete cut bad and loose and old and fell off. no, this is really the. slab. the
7:06 pm
whole depth of slab under heavy load pushed down. >>a stunning worked closely on the bridge during its seismic retrofitting after the loma prieta earthquake in 1989. he says some crumbling concrete is standard and shouldn't impact any other parts of the bridge. caltrans spokesperson barton tells us. the pothole is about three inches wide, but sliced through the upper deck, creating concerns that concrete could fall onto passing cars below. but no falling concrete was reported before crews arrived. >>well, three inches is about like that, right? so that's about the about the spacex of it. concrete spalling like a divot has been cut out. we had a pothole on the richmond san rafael bridge that kind of pierced it. pin pricked it. so now we've got to cut that little section out and replace >>it. he said. the repairs could take hours, then several more hours for the concrete to dry. the lane closures created a headache for commuters like nettie, who stopped for gas just before hitting the backed
7:07 pm
up bridge. >>not everybody has that luxury of trying to get off work early or being home on time. they're going to be stuck in all that riff raff on the freeway. >>caltrans says the issue isn't related to a 2019 incident when large chunks of concrete fell from the bridge, shutting it down entirely. but aston tells us the structural integrity of the bridge should be sound. >>we have an update on a grass fire that was threatening homes in fairfield. cal fire says they have stopped forward progress and all evacuations have been lifted. the fire burned 62 acres west of interstate 80 along vista grande. so this is near the waterman water treatment plant. the teen charged in a crash that killed a beloved oakland teacher, appeared in court today, and his attorney offered an explanation for why he had been speeding away from chp right before 18 year-old eric hernandez garcia allegedly lost control of the car wednesday, hitting and killing castlemont
7:08 pm
high school teacher, doctor marvin boomer, who was walking on the sidewalk with his girlfriend. the chp said they had backed off the chase before the deadly crash. today, hernandez, garcia's lawyer, says he was driving home after buying snacks when a chp officer came up behind his car, then pulled away. he then called a teacher who told him to come to her place to calm down. she says he panicked when he saw another chp car pull up behind him. >>what was in his mind to panic? no one knows. he probably doesn't really understand why he panicked. >>hernandez garcia will enter a plea at his next hearing on june 20th. he has been charged with seven felonies, including vehicular manslaughter. meantime, the family of doctor marvin boomer released a statement today requesting privacy as they mourn his girlfriend, whose name has not been released, says that marvin saved her and that she lost the love of her life. after several delays, city workers in oakland were required to officially
7:09 pm
come back to the office today. the mandate is supposed to help improve city operations while bringing life back to the downtown area. city workers will need to report to the office three days out of the week but the return seem to have a pretty slow start. we spoke with an employee at a sandwich shop who says she saw fewer customers today. >>we expected everybody to come back to work. it's probably 60% less people than it usually is around here. the plaza is empty. you know, everybody's closing down around here. >>we asked the city for the number of remote workers who may have returned to the office today. so far, we have not received a response. all right. up next, we hear from the local surfer who had a scary close encounter with a shark during a family outing. and we hear from the sacramento long jumper, who shared the medal podium with trans athlete abby hernandez at the track and field state championships. >>after a warm saturday and a
7:10 pm
cool and breezy sunday, we made it back to pretty close to normal temperatures for most of the bay area today, but that southwesterly onshore breeze did a pretty effective job of infiltrating the north bay valleys, keeping temperatures around 70 in santa rosa. we'll see how long this normal pattern for most of the bay area will last, coming up in first alert
7:13 pm
>>15 gray whales have now been found dead in the bay area. the latest one was discovered over the weekend at montara state beach. the marine mammal center says they don't know how the whale died. scientists say at least three of the whales who have been found were struck and killed by vessels the same day the whale was found floating in the tide. a surfer had a close encounter with a shark at montara state beach. he'd just been enjoying a sunny day with his family at the beach at, let's see, south of pacifica. but then, cue the jaws music. oh, yes. photojournalist rick
7:14 pm
villaroman talked to him about what it was like to stare down a shark. >>well, i was sitting on the board, actually. and then i felt something under my foot kicked me off the board. >>it's the stuff of nightmares. >>saw this, like, big mouth just grabbing onto my board. >>a nightmare that 42 year old jens heller didn't expect when he got in the water saturday afternoon to surf. but it's one he's likely to remember for the rest of his life. as jens was waiting to catch a wave, a shark sank its teeth into his surfboard. >>but i guess, like here. and then also on this side, you can see the mouth here about where this wave is breaking. now a bit further. >>it happened just 100 yards offshore from montara state beach, where he, his wife ingrid, and six month old daughter linnea were enjoying the warm weather, a family outing that nearly ended in tragedy. >>i just remember being in the
7:15 pm
water, looking back, seeing this black eye and the teeth of the shark. >>that's when self-preservation kicked in. once the shark let go of his board, he jumped back on and paddled to shore. >>it felt like i. i couldn't paddle fast enough. it felt like i'm like i'm in slow motion. while i was trying to get away, i was like, man, this shark will be so much faster than me. if he really wants to get me. >>another surfer who was in the water near jens estimated the shark was ten feet long, which would make it a juvenile today. back on land, jens knows that people typically aren't on the menu for sharks. there's only been one other shark attack in california this year in san diego. no injuries in that incident either. >>i would say i was like, really unlucky first because these shark attacks are really rare. and then i was super lucky because there was an attack that was like pretty considerable damage to my board. and still i'm here
7:16 pm
without like, any scratch. >>but for his wife, it's a hard pill to swallow. >>she couldn't. believe it because she she has had fear of sharks ever since growing up. and so when i told her i just survived a shark attack, i was just attacked by a shark. she was like, that's impossible. >>but because love is thicker than water. >>she knows that, like, i will not be happy if i'm not in the water anymore. so i think she's of course, concerned. but she also wants me to be happy. >>his next outing. >>if i have time next weekend, i'm going next weekend. i'll see. >>the california department of fish and wildlife took some swabs of his board on saturday to check the sharks dna, and jens johns says they came back this morning to take the board, presumably to measure the bite
7:17 pm
mark. >>under five seconds, we don't have to pay royalties. >>right. keep the baby. out of the. water, please. >>i think she's going to have something to say about >>that. the mom will keep the little >>one. that's why i just only go up to my knees. >>oh, >>man. yeah. what's happening? weather wise here? we do have kind of conflicting features at play in the atmosphere. we'll take a look at the satellite perspective. and this is a view that lets us track the water vapor in the atmosphere. and we're less concerned about specifically the amount of moisture. but that lets us diagnose where things are. and that big swirl off the coast is what we call a cutoff low. it's just an area of disturbed weather that is cut off from the main flow of weather across the northern hemisphere. everything pinwheeling around that in the upper levels of the atmosphere has allowed the wind to bring some of the wildfire smoke down from canada into the upper levels of the atmosphere over the bay area. but there is a different feature at play, helping us out and keeping air quality at ground level just fine. and that is the onshore breeze that is going to continue as we head through the rest of the week. so while we do have some of that haze in the atmosphere overhead, the
7:18 pm
onshore breeze has been undercutting that haze and keeping the smoke elevated in the atmosphere. ground level air quality is going to remain in the good to, at worst, moderate categories for the next couple of days, so things could certainly be a whole lot worse in that perspective. let's take a look at the wind speeds that we expect as we head through the next couple of days, and we'll track it with futurecast. it's not going to be overly windy, but certainly a noticeable breeze kicking in, especially through the delta. that delta breeze is going to be in full effect for the next couple of afternoons. calm conditions in the morning and the wind picks up in the afternoon. most of the gusts tomorrow in the 15 to 25 mile an hour range. we can handle that a little bit breezier on wednesday. more gusts in the 20 plus mile an hour range. so that's going to deliver some slightly cooler air to inland parts of the bay area. but in general, we're going to be running very close to normal temperatures for the next several days, including where we stand right now as we see some of that haze as we look out from salesforce tower, everyone's temperatures have retreated to the 60s. not a whole lot of variation. everybody between 60 degrees in san francisco to 67 in san jose, livermore and in concord.
7:19 pm
and we'll continue dropping. it will be a mix of a lot of 50s and a few upper 40s in the map. by early tomorrow morning, as the fog tries to spread out, let's return to the local map on the floor and track that fog as we head through the rest of tonight. it's going to remain at the coast for the next several hours, but making more of a push across the bay well into the inland valleys of the north bay, even across the oakland hills to interior parts of the east bay and into the santa clara valley by early tomorrow. it won't take long for that inland fog to dissipate a little bit longer for the north bay. that, combined with the southwesterly onshore wind, is going to keep north bay temperatures a little bit cooler than other inland parts of the bay area. here are those forecast highs for tomorrow. we'll start in the santa clara valley, where you're going to be some of the warmest spots, at least in terms of your departure from what's normal for early june, about 3 or 4 degrees above average, low to mid 80s on a widespread basis, also low to mid 80s east of the oakland hills. but that's almost exactly where you're supposed to be this time of year. temperatures around the bay quite a mix. 60 in san francisco and oakland, upper 70s for fremont and low 80s down the peninsula in redwood
7:20 pm
city, closer to the coast. only in the low 60s. not as big surprise there with temperatures in the north bay mostly in the low 70s until you go far inland, where that southwesterly wind doesn't have as much of an impact, should make it up into the low 80s around healdsburg. let's take a look at the seven day forecast. we'll start inland, where we're going to see temperatures running pretty close to normal. some of the coolest days, maybe falling just short of 80 degrees on thursday. the warmest day will be the first half of the weekend on saturday, but it's not going to be crazy hot and not even close to it. high temperatures only in the mid 80s for the second half of the weekend. temperatures bayside also up and down, but generally running pretty close to what's typical for early june. and while we're going to have some of that june gloom each morning, we should see the sunshine breaking through by every afternoon. that allows temperatures to make it up to where they're typically going to top out this time of year, near 70 degrees bay side, with coastal temperatures staying in the low to mid 60s again. the warmest day will be the first half of the weekend, when you have a better chance of climbing up into the middle portion of the 60s. but when the sun does
7:21 pm
break through in the afternoons, it should help it make it at least feel a little bit warmer. jules. >>all right. looks great. thanks so much. up next, a sacramento long jumper who shared a silver medal with abby hernandez. her thoughts about the controversy surrounding the trans athlete and some young softball players go on a digital detox for one month, see the changes
7:23 pm
7:24 pm
tonight, we're hearing from one of the athletes who medaled at this weekend's state track and field championships. the event attracted national attention because of a transgender athletes participation and new rule changes. brooke white is a sacramento teen who won the silver medal in the girls 100 meter hurdles and the girls long jump, a placement she shared with transgender athlete abby hernandez. hernandez has been under scrutiny from people who do not want to see trans athletes participating in women's sports, including president trump. white says that she was impressed by the way hernandez handled the criticism. >>it made me really emotional seeing how people could be so hateful to a 16 year old girl. it also eased me a lot to talk to abby personally and see how she was handling the situation as a rock star, like just, you know, she prayed. and i'm pretty sure all three events. >>white says she wants to foster peace, community and acceptance. last week, the california interscholastic federation announced a new policy allowing an additional
