police activity out there. so they're asking people to avoid the area. it looks like earlier in the morning they were dealing with the wrong way. driver in this area. so they've got that area shut down. 29 12 would be good options if you're trying to get around the area down in mountain view, another accident and delays northbound. 1, one north and north rents trough. so 2.80, maybe that alternate for you. if you still need to travel along there heading into the city, no issues. 12 minutes to that. fremont street exit from the maze heading across towards the peninsula. you're looking at 13 for your drive and we'll start you off with the richmond. sandra fell bridge post a one o one 12 minutes. tara james, back to you. thank you. ray 81 in breaking news from overnight. the oakland city council took a big step towards being able to build a new ballpark for the a's. yeah, they approved the final impact. environmental impact report. >> kron 4 sarah stinson is live for us this morning with what this means that going forward because this isn't it's not over yet. >> it certainly is not over

yet, but we have to take each big step with some gratefulness. and, you know, just some hope. we've got to take hope from somewhere right? and this is a big one. you could not have a binding agreement with the team for the howard terminal ballpark without this environmental impact report. so after 8 hours, the oakland city council, they did vote to certify this report, huge step. even the president of the team said he's excited that this huge step. >> happened in that they're one step closer securing a new ballpark at howard terminal. this waterfront project definitely a big one. it is a 12 billion dollar project in last night, 6 council members voted yes to voted no. and about 400 people spoke during public comment. that's why it took so long. some people not in favor of the location of the proposed project will other saying this would create

a ton of jobs. the project includes 3,000 housing units nearby hotel, commercial space in affordable housing and even includes art venue and 18 acre park, of course, including the stadium as well, which seats. 35,000 people, mayor libby shaft has not been shy about her excitement for this project, putting in a statement saying tonight's action is more than just a milestone. it's a giant leap forward in our shared mission to create a regional destination that gives back or waterfront to the public vibrant neighborhood or downtown and provides tens of thousands of good union jobs for our residents. and it does it all while keeping our beloved is rooted in oakland. >> last night vote is one of 2 on this. they're actually going to make the final vote on the environmental impact report on march first. so just a ton of steps in this process. but this is certainly a big one. and we got to see. >> where the city council

leans on this. 62 pretty good odds. and we know that the team, though, is talking to developers and leaders in nevada. so we're not the only ones in this race, but i will say last night's vote, it does appear that we are potentially winning the race. so darya james will take this and we will remain hopeful that the a's stay rooted in oakland. >> back to you. ok? the faith absolutely. thank you, sarah. >> also in the east bay, that was tense standoff in pleasanton and it ended with officers fatally shooting a man. take a look. you can see them breaking a window on the side of the apartment here. that was yesterday. and this is on willow road and owens drive police worse first called there because of a domestic violence incident. and when they got there, they say that the man would not come out and they ended up confronting him and they say

he had a knife in his hand. and that's when officers opened fire. one witness describes what he saw. >> they were just talking on the loud speaker saying no time to come out, come out and he just wasn't at all. and then that's when they started to break the window down and throw flash bang. >> and that's when he came out. and that's when they within 10 seconds and they were firing at them. >> pleasanton police have not identified the man and the confrontation or the officers involved. they're continuing to investigate that fatal shooting. and the alameda county district attorney's office is also investigating what happened. >> also following another big story this morning, a new efforts underway right now to try to reduce the number of traffic deaths that we've seen across the state. and we certainly reported on here in the bay area, so many in san jose already more than a dozen traffic fatalities there. so far kron four's will tran is live in san jose with what is going to be done about this. well.

>> they want to put in that her and sta get people to slow down. so we all according to studies when we see a camera, it forces us to slow down. and if we don't, we will get a ticket. you can see the streets right behind me. yes, there are many reasons why accidents happen. but according to studies, they believe. >> speeding is the factor, which is why they want to push this through. >> its assembly bill. 23, 36 and perhaps no other place in california needs it more than san jose because it's off to a horrific start. at least 16 traffic fatalities so far this year at a shattering pace. i mean, the way it's going now james and area last year will seem very pedestrian, pun intended compared to this year

has been trying to get drivers to slow down in the streets of san for an excuse me streets of san jose. a lot safer. this is what he had to tell us. he said over the past year and san jose, we've seen an alarming rise in traffic fatalities with speeding often being the cause. the staggering loss of life we see in our streets is preventable tragedy. i applaud assembly member laura friedman's commonsense bill to allow cities like ours. the deployed speed safety cameras to save lives and keep our streets safe. now, unlike other traditional speeding tickets were the jumping off point is $238 could be a lot more depending on how fast you go in this particular case, they will work with those based on your income. if you're a family making less than $54,000, it will be change so you can afford it. they have installment plans and your ticket if you're going 11 miles over the speed limit, guys, get this. your ticket

starts off at $50. so they're saying they're not trying to raise revenue, but the slow drivers down. all right. thanks a lot for the update. will. >> over in the east bay, the chp is also announced an arrest in a road rage shooting right near the caldecott tunnel in alameda county, 20 year-old troy nicholson, junior of castro valley is now facing several charges connected to a shooting that happened last september. the chp making that arrest thanks to leads from the public and technology that allow them to track the car that was used. once you get the officer says that aggressive and angry driving, the obviously should be avoided. if you do find yourself a victim of road rage. we have a few tips for you. >> try to avoid contact to not respond to any aggression with aggression. if the person if you feel is following you call 911 and make sure not to drive home, trying to drive to a safe location with there's a lot of people or even to a nearby police department. >> as we head into the weekend. they know the

freeways are going to be pretty jammed. and tempers may flare. so be aware of your surroundings and protect yourself. >> it's going to be busy in san francisco this weekend because there is the lunar new year parade and organizers are ready. they have new security measures in place and there be more police on patrol to make sure it's a fun and safe event. kron four's rob nesbitt has the details. >> the tiger in the chinese zodiac as a symbol of strength and bravery. those celebrating say that's especially important to think about after a year of increased violence, the 1.3 mile lunar new year parade is coming back to san francisco saturday. crews building the floats and preparing for record crowds based on selling out of our retreat i would imagine that this event is going to be very, very popular. william g is in charge of coordinating the bleachers for the city's lunar new year festival and parade. he expects between 30500,000 people will be gathered along sidewalks, watching the floats go by. >> we want to

>> presents a environment that is just going to be fun and safe for everyone. and that is really the whole goal of actually producing and making sure that this event comes back alive this year with an alarming amount of violent attacks against asian-americans. >> the san francisco police department has promised an increased presence during and after the parade. they have consider that they have thought about this. and there they're going to kind of be for president and also have more >> patrols and things like that so that people can actually get home safely from the events as well. gee says the pandemic has a just cause an increase in crimes against asians, but has also impacted tourism in san francisco's chinatown. >> hoping for some normalcy in the new year. there's businesses that just survive the past 2 years. and so. >> we're hoping that this event actually brings tourism back to the city, brings tourism back to china town. jea says in addition to the parade, there's also a photo contest that the public can take part in taking pictures

of the 6 tiger sculpture set up around the city until saturday. >> in san francisco, i'm rob nesbitt. kron. 4 news. >> 10 is the time. still ahead on the kron 4 morning news. a school custodian in berkeley accused of lewd acts outside an elementary school. the suspicious items police say they found inside his car. plus, governor newsome unveiling the state's new plan as we move into the endemic phase of covid-19. we'll have reaction from local doctors. >> and lots of sunshine today. just a few clouds this morning, though, they'll be less and less of those towards the afternoon day time highs among our warmest in the upper 60's. even a couple low 70's talkisg this ahead of wintery weather next week. in your forecast. >> live wintery weather out there. we also have a hot spot. this is on an app that we've been talking about highway 2 to one southbound south of one to one. they are napa. all lanes blocked. we're going to look at that and some other issues on your friday morning commute will be right back.

>> all 14 is a time right now. trying to i'm trying to tidy up. you can it's like james because now jay james looking to have high because james is over i mean, i sprawled out i got lunch bag. i got i got a banana. i this told ask is my world now is it's full of so much. >> and yankees a little bit

this. >> one lead. >> all right. let's go to john for senate get a bad rap. but women kind of sometimes think we are little freshly when you grow up sharing a bathroom with investors. yeah. take over the entire. yeah. you know, that's what i've got. good morning, was the one that was heavily caffeinated, though. i found out yesterday, james, like 5 cups of coffee the morning to food, it's yes, it's low we have 6 hours that we spread it out during so it can actually make but lots of sunshine today. that could be your morning joe right there. that morning cup of coffee to stepping outside. >> and enjoying what is a beautiful, clear start to the day half moon little bay looks great. james is actually getting more coffee right now of lots of sunshine to be making its way back out into the afternoon. and we are looking at conditions today that are going to stay dry

today and tomorrow, both looking just as dry as one. another just as mild to with light offshore wind to be expected. and we are going to see this pattern shifting into next week. so what that means is you've got to enjoy today and tomorrow as much as possible. because after that, it starts to get pretty brisk. this storm system that drops into the west coast will leave the sierra with snowfall starting monday into tuesday, snow stretching into the rockies, which just as much as we do. bay area that we're sitting too far to the west to be tapping to into in a lot of this moisture. so other than a couple of sprinkles possible on tuesday. all we're going to be feeling is cold winds and cooler temperatures. as far as today goes, nothing brisk about it. it's 60's. it's sunny. and it's also going to be really calm as far as winds go. all this adds up to really comfortable feel. i know you like the way yesterday felt maybe even felt a little warm for some of us today is going to be much like that. campbell in san jose are only 2 spots right at 70 degrees. the rest of the bay area pretty solidly in the mid to upper 60's. the

benicia pittsburgh each 66 looking ahead of next 7 days today and tomorrow are the warmest we start to cool down sunday monday and tuesday easily. the coldest the coolest feel we will have snowfall in the sierra nevada on these days. and as i mentioned, slim chance of a couple sprinkles on tuesday. john, thank you for that. we are still closely watching that hot spot out. annapolis. let's go ahead and get a close look at that. >> it looks like southbound and northbound 2 to one just south of one to one in napa. all lanes are blocked because of some police activity. so what the police are doing there is they're diverting traffic through napa valley college parking lot. so if you're in that area, they're diverting traffic through that napa valley college parking lot. so they're making sure they're getting people through the air. the bay bridge may say that fremont street exit, no issues little under 12 minutes for your drive. there. the san mateo bridge and across towards the peninsula. you're at about 13 for your commute in the south bay.

there are issues like this accident northbound one. 0, one north of northridge straw avenue. so 2.80, or 82 would be good. alternate and highways for getting around that. and we'll check out the richmond. sandra fell come you start to go down a bit tolls to one o one here at 11 minutes. james, back to you. >> thank you very much. rain at 8.18, is the time former vice president mike pence spoke at stanford university talking a bit about the january 6 attack on the capital defending his decision that day he was at stanford. here's the flyer and you can see the event was entitled how to save america from the woke left. he spent much of the slamming the policies of the current administration and then it was after his speech that someone asked him about january 6th, his decision to certify the election and the eye or that drew from then president donald trump. constitution was quite clear on that. tragic day in january. i knew it. my duty was. i kept my oath. even though her. we move the nation

forward. and i don't know if the president i'll ever see eye to eye on that. i really don't. but i will always be proud of the record. the president, donald trump and i created for the american people. >> pence also reference the recent recall of 3 progressive members of the san francisco school board saying that that vote sent shock waves across the country. >> as we reported this week, 3 members of san francisco school board lost their jobs in a recall election. vice president liga resigned immediately. commissioner alison collins and board president gabriela lopez are stepping down 10 days after the election is officially accepted by the city's board of supervisors. we spoke with lopez in collins about the recall and what they think of the outcome. >> none of this is a surprise. >> we've threatened of a maybe even 6 months in toward term because of what we're highlighting, what we're bringing up and what we're challenging. i'm concerned

that. >> there will be folks who will want to roll back some of the work that we've done. it a fact erase the voice of parent and student volunteers who worked really hard over decades to get some of these changes. >> they. >> lopez and colin say despite being recalled, they will continue to push for equity for marginalized students of color. san francisco mayor london breed who endorsed the recall will now hand picks 3 people to fill those seats on the school board. >> san francisco voters will actually have a chance to reform the recall process when they go to the polls in june. and then, of course, after the failed recall of governor newsom last september, there's now talk at the state level of maybe changing the process there as well dan kerman takes a closer look. thank you for rejecting this it was during and after the unsuccessful recall of governor gavin newsome. the calls for reforming the recall process at the state level hit a fever pitch. there is serious

concern by many legislators. >> that that we call that we just saw last year was an unnecessary political exercise that that were no will change and cost the state over 200 million dollars. and so we're looking seriously at a couple reforms in that area. east bay state senator steve glazer chairs the senate committee on elections. >> he says state lawmakers are looking at several reforms among them requiring more signatures to have a recall. any change the signature requirement for 12% of those who vote in the last election, which it is a number that changes every election to a 10% of all registered. you've actually raise the threshold by about 300,000 more city. choose another reform legislators are looking at is not having a second ballot of candidates to replace the person being recalled. california is the exception in the country for having this second ballot that if recall successful, that you immediately replace that person with that, a person that may not even get close to a majority of the vote. and

we're looking closely. that's an outlier in the country. no one else has it. it cannot provide situation where you could have someone win by less than a majority vote. and we're taking us a look at that as well. but there are alternatives being floated. an independent state agency called the little hoover commission. he's floating the idea of a snap special election, a snap election where the person being recalled would also appear on the candidate's side for the successor election. so they would necessarily be left out or off the ballot as currently is the process. legislators say look for some sort of recall reform proposal. >> to come out of the state house sometime within the next month. but keep in mind, any proposal that is passed by the state legislature must be approved by the voters of california. dan kerman kron. 4 news. 22 is the time coming up on the kron. 4 morning news. the crisis in ukraine is intensifying. president biden warning. >> attack may be imminent. we'll have the very latest on
