businesses have gone so far as to move out of the area. others hoping the city finds a solution. the thing is i feel really bad for these people but it gets worse every day. they keep blocking the sidewalks but then they move to some other sidewalks. seeing the needles on the street and having to deal with feces on the street it's more than just unsafe a lot of it is hazardous.a hazardous situation equipted with generators that doesn't appear to be going away anytime soon. the city has taken down tents in some of these areas but often times those living there just set up across the street. most agree that this is just part of what is a major citywide problem.

two o'clock in the morning... she realized it was the large oak tree on her front lawn that toppled onto her home... damaging power lines as well.veroncia mcelroy/homeowner- "the house was red tagged after pg&e cut the power."bridge an arborist says the tree was rotting from its roots... and, because of the strong winds and saturated soils -- it came down.veronia mcelroy/homeowner- "we've been here 11 years, this is our eleventh year, and when we first moved here, um, i called out a company to come and cut the tree, because i wasn't fond of it at all." mcelroy later decided against having the tree removed... because she says the permitting process was time consuming and too expensive. joanna altman with the city of vallejo says a free permit is required to trim trees... but the permit required to have an arborist assess an unhealthy tree and remove it costs 477-dollars.joanna altman/city of vallejo- "and, the fees associated with that really cover the costs of the arborist going out before and after and then it has to completely removed all the way down to the stump to remove the hazard, you know, of a sick tree." a city buidling inspector did return

to the home in the afternoon... removing the red tag. so, veronica, her husband, son and dogs can go back inside... though it's possible the mcelroy's will be held reposible for paying for all of the repairs. in vallejo, philippe djegal, kron four nrw.

since former 49ers receiver dwight clark announced his als diagnosis... there's been an increased awareness of the effects of the fatal disease. (pam) yesterday-- kron4 news brought you a story of a man who is living with the illness. today-- kron4's mark carpenter takes a closer look at a possible connection between the disease ... and head trauma. ever since dwight clark's announcement, one of the questions that's been presented-- does football cause als? to explore this, i spoke with the experts at the san francisco-based 'gladstone institutes'-- an organization that specializes in researching neurological diseases. chief specialist dr. steve finkbeiner says as of now, research does not show a definitive link between the sport and als. "that connection has been looked at in a variety of epidemiological

studies. whether it's physical activity, physical fitness or some sort of head trauma and the studies don't agree basically. so some studies seem to suggest there may be a link and one or more of those dimensions may increase your risk for als, but others aren't able to replicate it." dr. steve finkbeiner...exp laining one of the frustrating aspects of researching a complex disease like als. one of the scientific links that has been confirmed over the last several years... is repeated shots to the head can lead to chronic traumatic encephelopathy. like als, cte is associated with neurodegeneration....however, the illnesses aren't intertwined. "we know that there's a clear connection between head trauma and changes that the brain undergoes that are connected to neurodegeneration, even if we don't have a specific path to als." a possible byproduct of dwight clark's diagnosis...is increased als awareness. youou may remember the ice bucket challenge craze from 2014...a trend that went viral and raised millions of dollars for als research. fred fisher, president als association-golden west chapter, says clark's status as a public chance to advance scientific advance chance to figure has a as a public clark's status chapter, says golden west association- head trauma. disease ... and

invigorating, but sometimes life throws obstacles in your way in this its barricades and chains and even more barricades i have a question for you who me if the roads closed you know what wait .. let's show you how much he had to go through to reach this point. i'm in the city of fremont on morrison canyon road and it's closed, i know this because of this huge flashing sign for me to get there i have follow a city worker through not one, nats: ambiance not twonats: ambiance but four other barricades where someone would have to physically move the barricades by hand on a road which is at best 9 feet wide because of the rainy weather there have been numerous mudslides we called out a geologist and he recommended that the road be closed until the end of the rainy seasonthis is city of fremont street maintenance

manager carl valdez so the city created a hard closure at this point but something happened the first set of barricades were tossed over the edge of the road and the larger ones were bent over as if someone tried to drive over them then the city looked for a solution to that problem we tried to brainstorm what would keep people from going through tried to chain them together we did found any of these thrown over but we did find those moved aside and we say more and more tire marks. so then the city tried something else we had water filled barricades /and last weekend i got a call from one of my staff members say they moved the barricades so im thinking this happens every once in a whileno they're doing it every day but i never thought for a moment i would see a jogger it the road is closed why are you jogging through it i think its closed only for cars not for pedestriansyou mean this pedestrian and bicycles prohibited sign he had to jog past if there is a landslide and i die that's it oh btw i caught up with the jogger and showed him the sign
