7:02 am
maze, it looks pretty good, but there is slow traffic in richmond, as there normally is. when you get to the bay bridge toll plaza you will see slow traffic as you drive through. it's a 25-minute delay. the traffic on highway 4 is slow mostly through pittsburg and baypointe and 680 slows 242 to 24 and lafayette. it's final by the time you reach danville. 580 livermore today much better than yesterday. we don't have any crashes reported. that is back to normal. 7:02. let's go back to the desk. this morning the santa clara county district attorney will announce at 10:00 this morning what he wants done to help victims of sexual crimes. he is going to propose new legislation inspired by the woman who was sexual lay assaulted at stanford university by brock turner. janine de la vega is in palo alto right now. tell us more about this story, janine. >> reporter: dave, the case was
7:03 am
prosecuted here in palo alto and now the d.a. and the prosecutor who tried the turner case are returning here this morning. they are going to be holding a news conference at 10:00 a.m. they want justice for victims of sex crimes. now, the district attorney jeff rosen is going to be talking about new legislation. she is proposing that was inspired by the woman sexually assault by turner. we don't have details yet on what type of change he is asking for, but it's clear that he heard the outcry from the public on this case. it attracted national attention when the judge sentenced turner to six months in jail for sexually assaulting an unconscious intoxicated woman on the stanford campus. prosecutors had asked for a much longer sentence. since the judge's ruling, petitions have circulated to recall the judge. last week the d.a. removed the judge from an unrelated sexual assault case in light of the controversy that he was facing. right now in sacramento there is already a push for change.
7:04 am
lawmakers listened to emotional testimony in support of a bill that would remove the statute of limitations on rape and sexual assault cases. currently, the limit is ten years. that bill comes in the wake of allegations against bill cosby. we know that the d.a. rosen was disappointed with the sentence that turner received. he has said that the punishment did not fit the crime. so we're just going to have to wait and see what this that he is proposing. the san francisco commission is set to view on new use of force rules for the police. groups are hoping to make lethal force a last resort. it does not address the issue of whether to give san
7:05 am
francisco police officers tasers. that's gonna come in a separate vote. an oakland city council woman is under fire for reportedly using her power to interfere with a housing project for a lot next to her home. the council woman according to the report broke state and city ethics rules by delaying the approval process. the report doesn't many the council woman, but the "san francisco chronicle" says a source identified her as city council president. the grand jury also criticized the city council for not reprimanding her. 7:05. a very emotional service was held yesterday in san jose for a fallen police officer. >> end of watch june 14th, 2016. san jose kma. >> thousands of people attended this public memorial at the sap
7:06 am
center. it was for officer michael katherman killed last week in the line of duty when his police motorcycle was hit head on by a minivan. >> just reemphasizes the dangers of our jobs and really the importance of the brotherhood and sisterhood that we have. >> they put their life on the line for us. the least people can do is come out and show support. >> officer katherman is the second san jose police officer to die in the line of duty in the last two years. now, we posted a slide show from that memorial service. you can see it on our channel 2 website ktvu.com. a san francisco man is facing charges after he was caught driving a party bus filled with teens and liquor. marin county authorities received a tip monday night about a bus picking up teenage passengers in larkspur. officers spotted the bus, so they stopped it and found 33 boys and girls between the ages of 15 and 17 on board.
7:07 am
officers also found 30 bottles of hard alcohol, marijuana and prescription pills. investigators say a 16-year-old boy booked that bus online. his friends say he meant no harm. >> people snuck it in their bags and pockets. that's also bad, too. he got in trouble for everyone who just didn't even ask really. >> authorities identified the driver as 63-year-old james green. police say he was arrested on charges including child endangerment, possession of controlled substance, and carrying a switch blade. 7:07. police in the east bay city of newark are searching for whoever robbed the belongings of more than 100 cub scouts. somebody broke into a trailer parked at birch grove park where the cub scouts are holding a camp. the director discovered broken lots monday morning. at first he thought everything was fin. then he realized expensive leather working tools and special archery equipment had
7:08 am
been stolen. just an hour after he reported the items missing the young cub scouts started to show up for camp. >> kind of like weird. why would just someone steal, like, a bow and an arrow? >> i don't understand why you steal this kind of thing. what do you use that for? those things can bring happiness for the kids. >> now, the cub scout program searched 10,000 children a year. the whole scouting program. the camp director hopes who stole that equipment will find out how they have hurt and disappointed the kids and will give the stuff back. it will cost more than $3,000 and also a lot of time to replace this specialized archery equipment. even with the rain this past winter, a study said it could take four years for the sierra snowpack to return to pre-drought levels. researchers say in past droughts the state bounces back in a year. but the current drought is so

7:30 am
fog bank out there. there is breaks on the santa cruz coast and fills back in a little bit over the bay. let's face it. yesterday at this time there was no fog at all and there was hardly a breeze. there is a pretty decent breeze towards the delta. low clouds and fog. what's over the inland areas will burn back quick. a southwest wind. gusts to 31 at travis. at this time yesterday 5 miles per hour. a huge difference here. west at sfo. west at hayward. these are all calm yesterday. mainly 50s on the temps. a lot of mid 50s here. stanford 56. menlo park 54. 57 belmont and san mateo. so starting to warm up, but not as much yesterday. we were jumping pretty fast yesterday because of the high pressure. system to the north is bumping that ridge out of the way allowing the low cloud deck to form. 90s inland. this time of year it takes a lot to cool down some. for most 60s, 70s, upper 80s, low 90s for many. all right. sal, what do you have at 7:30?
7:31 am
>> a bunch of slow traffic, steve. we are going to start in the south bay because we do have a lot of slow traffic here. and not only on 280, but 280 is a good example of what i can show you here. a lot of stop-and-go traffic. it's pretty much slow from 101. so you look at this picture, and i can show you on the map where we are. so we're looking at this picture. this is where that picture was and it stays that way all the way up to sunnyvale and cupertino. but 101 is even worse. i would still use 280 because 101 is one solid long line of traffic through the area. we are also looking at the peninsula, which is slow. we had an earlier accident northbound 101 in redwood city. that's unusually slow traffic. getting to the peninsula, dumbarton bridge and san mateo bridge heavy. 280 and 101 in san francisco are slow. 101 southbound is slow from
7:32 am
caesar chavez to past that old candlestick exit. this is a look at the bay bridge. not to be outdone, that is jam packed as you get out to the pay gates. 25 to 30-minute delay. today might be the day that you pull that string and say i am going to work from home in the morning. come in later. 7:32. back to the desk. >> thanks, sal. come november, san francisco voters are going to be considering a new plan to deal with the city's homeless. city workers would be allowed to get rid of homeless camps, but opponents say it's not a good long-term solution. ktvu's christian kafton live for us in san francisco with the details on the ballot initiatives voters will decide on in november. good morning, cristian. >> reporter: yeah, come november, voters will have a chance to consider this issue. it would allow the city to remove homeless encampments as long as they give them 24 hours notice. the city has seen a number of large encampments in the past,
7:33 am
including a few we found this morning. a group of supervisors are pitching plans to allow them to sieze the property of homeless people and hold it for 90 days. the departments of public health, public works and homeless in support of housing would be cast with enforcing the measure. backers are saying they support the plan because of their -- supervisors hope six centers will be opened up and running within the next two years. voters say the city's homelessness problem is nearing critical levels. >> you just walk down and they about doing drugs, shooting up stuff in their arms and there be little kids outside. that ain't cool. >> reporter: taking the issue to the voters doesn't end with
7:34 am
the more progressive members on the board. supervisor john avalos has come out against the measure saying there is a shortage of bed for the city's homeless and enforcing the measure would force people into an already crowded system. san francisco voters will have their vote in november. well, three other ballot measures have qualified for san francisco's november ballot. san francisco supervisors submitted the measures on deadline day. the measures are -- would create a new unit in the police department. there is one that would focus on neighborhood crime including car break-ins. another would allowed homeowners to build in-law units. and a tax on sugary drinks. that is half the amount of the soda tax voters rejected in 2013. happening today more scrutiny for the embattled
7:35 am
oakland police department. now a police sergeant is currently on leave because of allegations that his girlfriend typed up homicide reports for him, but then posted the confidential material online after finding out he was married. defense lawyers tell ktvu that every case this police sergeant worked on may be reviewed. now, this sergeant led the investigation of the 2013 killing of a well known dog walker who called herself the pet nanny. two men are waiting to go on trial for that shooting. and the attorney for one of the men today will go to court to try to get more information about that police sergeant in question. >> the allegations are that his girlfriend or lady friend is now writing reports for him on his behalf, if he's inserting facts into those reports or her opinions or thoughts or beliefs, that would be bring into question, i believe, every single report he has ever worked on. >> now, the attorney that represents that police sergeant told us his client is, quote, a
7:36 am
very gifted investigator who had a friend transcribe interviews on 3-0 occasions to meet deadlines, but says no investigations were jeopardized. some community groups are demanding that oakland mayor libby schaaf step down. protesters rallied yesterday. they say they have lost confidence in both the police force and in the mayor. the police department recently went through three police chiefs in a week. the department is also dealing with two scandals. one involves at least a dozen officers and a teenage prostitute, while the other scandal is centering around racist text messages. >> we also have to be asking why there is not a single officer inside of the opd ranks that she feels is fit enough to step into the position of chief. that should be of alarming concern to all of us. >> that is my focus right now, is crafting a process that the community feels trust in and feels like their voices are
7:37 am
reflected in the search and the criteria. >> now, community activists want a public commission with oversight over the police conduct. they also want to be allowed to help pick the next police chief. the town of danville is now the latest bay area city to approve the purchase of cameras in an effort to reduce crime. ktvu's brian flores is live now in danville with how much this is gonna cost the town and where they're gonna put those cameras. brian. >> reporter: yeah, you know, it's gonna cost hundreds of thousands of dollars claudine. high traffic areas mainly on top of stoplights. but this is a deterrent that one town council member describes as the closest thing to a force field for the town. the town council agreed last night to spend $839,000 for a security camera system according to the east bay
7:38 am
times. they approved buying 18 portable license plate reader cameras that could be placed on top of police car and 18 situational awareness cameras, which are stationary and give a wider angle view. money to pay for this will come from the town's capital improvement program. annual expenses are 73 grand according to a staff report. despite the costs at least from the people we spoke with so far in danville, they like the idea. >> i think it's good if it acts as a deterrent to crime in the area. the best thing is if the criminals know those things are installed. obviously, there is concern about privacy. we need make sure that the information isn't used improperly. >> reporter: now, the council got about 13 locations. it includes the all wars memorial, which has been vandalized in the past. other locations the diablo just
7:39 am
to name a few. while danville is one of the safer cities, the town council says the reason for this, this was necessary because of an increase in property crime. they say back in 2013 there were 411 reported cases of property crime. that recently spiked last year to 491 reports cases. a majority of the cameras will be installed by the end of this year. >> brian, it seems like as more cities get this and use this technology, we always hear about fears. seems like people are getting a little bit more used to the idea of them? >> reporter: yeah, there is always a concern about privacy issues. that was raised during the town council meeting as well. you have done reports from other cities, i believe in lafayette where they installed the cameras as well. also tiburon. others through the south bay as well. so, yeah, it sounds like a lot more cities are coming attuned to the idea of having these license plate readers and other
7:40 am
cameras installed in their cities. >> thanks so much. several stores and shops near the pulse nightclub in orlando, florida are back open after being closed after that deadly mass shooting. the police removed barricades and fences around the area. 59 businesses were affected by that nine-day closure of that street. some may be eligible now for short-term, no-interest loans to get back on their feet. the pulse nightclub is still closed. it is still under law enforcement control. well, last night new yorkers, they honored one of their own who was killed in the attacks. the new york yankees and the colorado rockies laid a rainbow wrote at home plate for 25-year- old enrique rios. he grew up in brooklyn. loved baseball. he was visiting friends in florida when he was killed in the orlando nightclub shootings. new york mayor bill de blasio
7:41 am
went to rios' funeral yesterday. his family says he had a gentle soul and he loved everybody. a night of fun ended up with a driver being arrested. in 26 minutes what they found on that party bus traveling in the north bay that has the driver facing serious charges. alsoshe wanted to scarer -- also, she wanted to scare her friends. it ended up with a response from firefighters. good morning. we are looking at a commute right now where traffic is doing okay on 24 westbound as you drive through the cauldecott. decent fog bank out there. it will be cooler here for some. we will have the numbers coming

compete at the rio de janeiro olympics because of concerns over the zika virus. he says, quote, i have come to realize that my health and my family's health comes before anything else. now, the golfer says even though he knows the risk of contracting the zika virus is low, he doesn't want to take that chance. especially considering that he and his fiancee are planning to have a family at some point. the zika virus is linked to severe birth defects in babies and possible neurological problems in adults. his decision comes as microsoft researchers are catching and analyzing mosquitoes to study infectious diseases. >> the vision is can we make them more predictable? if we get it right, i hope the answer to that is yes. i hope that we can prevent emerging infectious diseases as they surprise us like with ebola. >> microsoft researchers are testing a new trap that's designed to collect only the
7:47 am
specific type of mosquito that they want to analyze. the company hopes it will help track the zika virus, which has now turned into a global health risk. you think, why is microsoft getting involved in trapping mosquitoes? the researchers say they are going to use the insects caught in the traps to build an algorithm. that will help the smart traps learn to recognize the correct mosquito and find out where those with the biggest threat are located. so very interesting way that technology -- i would have never hotter temperatures microsoft would get involved. >> you hope that technology, whatever it is, figures it out and gets ahead of it. some health experts say it's not going to -- canceling the olympics or something like that won't fix it or help it or you can't blame folks who are concerned. it's a heartbreaking virus. >> there are so many unknowns. we don't know how long it stays in your system. they have determined it can be sexually transmitted. that's why men are involved and
7:48 am
concerned as well now. there are so many unknowns. a lot of people don't want to take the risk. >> yeah, it's heartbreaking to see folks who are -- >> it will be interesting to see the complete effects on the olympics. >> all right. thanks, pam. well, video of a 15-year- old alabama girl is going viral after a prank went wrong. >> if you are trying to figure out what you are looking at, the teen put the head of a barney costume on to scare her friends, but it slipped over her shoulders and then it got stuck. so her friends, they were trying to help her out by rubbing vaseline on her arms and trying to full off. they did eventually have to take her to a nearby fire station. look at the firefighter who is almost cut out of the frame. i mean, he is taking it seriously. >> they did cut off that mask. it looks like it may have been a first. they are like, oh my gosh, it's
7:49 am
barney. they were laughing in the video. you know, it looks like a big enough barney head she could breathe and was -- >> it doesn't happen every day. >> that barney walks in and says -- >> yeah. >> let me out. time is 7:49. let's check in with sal. sal, that went right over my head. >> that's a panic attack waiting to happen if you have claustrophobia. >> good morning. let's take a look at the bay bridge toll plaza. it is very crowded today. it's been one of the biggest days. i see some improvement. about the only people who are saying, boy, today is a better commute than yesterday, are the people in the livermore valley. we will check that commute out in a moment. let's go to 880 first. slow traffic on 880 from san leandro heading all the way up into downtown oakland. remember yesterday we had a
7:50 am
terrible community on 580 in livermore. today it's much better as you drive west, although there is some slow traffic at the dublin interchange. compared to yesterday, this is a walk in the park. but the east bay commute is going to be slow hayward to foster city. 880 southbound slows 238 down to dakoto road. 7:50. let's go to steve. >> sal, thank you, sir. very good morning. a pretty good little breeze for some. it's a westerly breeze. yesterday it was more of a northerly breeze. so this is an onshore, a cooler breeze, and fog, low clouds made it parts of the bay. pretty solid on most of the coast. not all. yesterday it collapsed. marie guard says it's going to be hot today, but your tie is way cool. >> thank you, marie. >> [ applause ] >> i think i ran out of gray material. we have some low clouds and
7:51 am

8:03 am
cooler compared to 24 hours ago. novato down 7. fairfield down 7. that makes sense with that 30 plus-mile-per-hour gusty there. low clouds and fog hugging the coast. system up north will cool us down for a couple of days. low clouds, sunny, breezy, warm for some, not as hot as yesterday. 60s, 70s, upper 80s, mainly lower 90s. sal, 8:03. things have been good, moderate so far? >> moderate. a heavy traffic day. one thing is we haven't had that many major crashes. things that are unexpected. a lot of people are on the road. let's go to interstate 80. a little bit better. for a while it was 40. now it's 32. things are on the downward slope when it comes to the traffic times. when you get to the bay bridge toll plaza traffic is stacked up, although that 880 ramp has improved. today getting into the west valley in sunnyvale and cupertino, mountain view a lot
8:04 am
of people on the way to the west valley. 280, 101, it's so slow i cannot recommend one freeway over the other. you might want to think about some of your favorite side roads if you are going a short distance. no need to get out there and get on the freeway. 8:04. let's go back to the desk. the santa clara county district attorney will hold a news conference in just a couple of hours from now to announce proposed new legislation. it's after the controversial brock turner sexual assault case. >> yes. turner was handed down a sentence that many viewed as too lenient for sexual assaultly a woman on the stanford campus. ktvu's janine de la vega joins us live from palo alto with more on what all of this is about. janine. >> reporter: yeah, we just heard from the d.a.'s office and was told that the district attorney is going to be announcing new legislation that
8:05 am
he is co-sponsoring inspired by the victim in the brock turner case. now, it's unknown if -- [ technical difficulty ] -- attracted national attention. it was earlier this month that 20-year-old brock turner was sentenced to six months in jail by a judge when prosecutors asked for six years. but with good behavior, he will likely be released in september. the d.a. said he was disappointed. he recently had the judge removed from an unrelated sexual assault case. now, turner was convicted of sexual assault. not rape. and there is already a push by state lawmakers to make changes to the state's definition of rape because of this case. there is also a bill in the state senate that would allow rape and sexual assault cases to be prosecuted no matter how long ago they occurred. currently, the limit is ten years. there was emotional system recently in sacramento from people who testified in support
8:06 am
of it. >> i look at rapists in the same magnitude that i look at war criminals and slavers because rapists wage war upon the landscapes of women's bodies. >> reporter: that proposed change comes in the wake of allegations against bill cosby. now, what happened to the victim in the brock turner case, it touched a lot of nerves and really set off a firestorm. it's going to be interesting to see what new legislation is being proposed as a result of that what happened and if it will be successful. we know that d.a. is set to make his announcement at 10:00 a.m. here at the county courthouse in palo alto. this was the same place where the turner case was tried. claudine. >> an interesting development. thanks. time is 8:06. meantime, also today the san francisco police commission is expected to vote on some new use of force rules for the police. it's a response to public calls for reform after several deadly
8:07 am
police shootings. now, the new rules focus on requiring police officers to deescalate situations and also make lethal force a last resort. today's vote doesn't address the issue of whether to give san francisco police officers tasers. that will come in a separate vote. well, san francisco man facing charges after he was caught driving a party bus filled with teens and liquor. authorities got a tip on monday night about a bus that was picking up teenagers at the ferry terminal parking lot in larkspur. officers went, saw the bus pulling out and saw a door was opening and swinging so they stopped the bus, got on board and found 33 boys and girls between the ages of 15 and 17 on that bus. officers also found 30 bottles of hard alcohol, marijuana, and prescription pills. investigators say a 16-year-old boy had booked that bus online. his friends say he meant no harm. >> people snuck it in their bags n their pacts and, like,
8:08 am
that's also bad, too. he got in trouble for everyone who just didn't even ask really. >> now, the picture you're looking at on your screen is the driver identified as 63- year-old james green. police say he was arrested on charges that included child endangerment, possession of controlled substances, and carrying a switch blade. time is 8:08. a very emotional farewell in san jose. law enforcement from all over the state and around the country gathered for a memorial service for fallen police officer michael katherman. >> end of watch june 14th, 2016. san jose kma. >> thousands of people were at this public memorial yesterday at the sap center. officer katherman was killed last week in the line of duty. his police motorcycle was hit head on by a minivan.
8:09 am
>> just reemphasizes the dangers of our jobs and really the importance of our -- the brotherhood and sisterhood we have. >> the least people can do is show support. >> officer katherman is a second san jose police officer to lose his life in the line of duty in the past two years. he leaves behind his wife and two young children. now, we posted a slide show from yesterday's memorial service. you can see it on our channel 2 website ktvu.com. well, russian hackers are now suspected of attempting to hack the clinton foundation ahead of the november investigation. however, the clinton foundation 880 it has not been notified by law enforcement about the issue. the intrusion is briefed be part of a broader hacking effort allegedly sponsored by russia. u.s. officials have warned the democratic and republican party as well as the campaigns of the candidates to be on high alert
8:10 am
for computer-based attacks. well, the southern california mansion dubbed the rivera white house once owned by president ronald reagan is for sale. the asking price $33 million. as a six bedroom, eight bathroom. it was originally built back in 1953 when reagan was host of the tv show general electric theater. reagan was at the house on the night of november 4, 1980, when president jimmy carter called to concede the election. time is 8:10. that scandal that rocked the oakland police department right now may also affect the mayor's office. in 25 minutes, why some are calling for mayor libby schaaf to step down. plus, the doors are open on the only dunkin' donuts store in the whole bay area. and check out the line at this place. people got here very early this morning. very, very early. we will be talking coming up here with the mayor of walnut creek who tells me that having
8:11 am
a dunkin' donuts here is bringing back a lot of memories for her. we are looking at a commute now that is going to be busy in some areas. this is highway 24. all of a sudden we got a lot of people driving towards lafayette. and we have a lot of fog on the coast. some over the bay. there is a pretty good little breeze out to the delta. that equals cooler today. we will show you how much cooler on a wednesday forecast.
8:12 am
8:13 am
8:14 am
check out this video. this is what it looked like at 2:00 this morning at the bay area's only dunkin' donuts. >> 2:00 in the morning. people say they didn't want to wait to taste some of the 52 varieties of doughnuts there. ktvu fox 2's alex savidge has been out there. it's been busy since more than three hours ago? he is out there. trust me. i wouldn't kid you. >> we will get back to him in just a little bit. wow, people are determined to get their doughnuts. there was a line there. there is a line on some of our freeways. we are going to check in with sal castaneda to see how -- >> it's been busy all over the place this morning? as a matter of fact, we are looking at a couple of new things. for the most part, we are looking at the traditional slow traffic on highway 24 as you drive through lafayette. you look at the lafayette bart station there, and 24 is going
8:15 am
to be clowe as -- slow as you drive to the lafayette bart station. it's slow most of the way to the cauldecott tunnel. if you are going to the bay bridge toll plaza, there is slow traffic there. still about a 20-minute delay. we have been talking about how slow it's been this morning in the south bay. i am going to switch to a map of the south bay. 280 from 101. 101 from southern san jose all the way up to mountain view. the peninsula getting into the act with palo alto very slow. so we're not getting a break today on this wednesday. about the only people who have a better day than yesterday are the people in the livermore valley. a couple of incidents. nowhere near as bad as yesterday. let's go to steve. >> sal, thanks. big fog bank out there. yesterday no breeze whatsoever. most locations by this time said calm, including sfo. that's not the case today. you can see the low clouds now
8:16 am
really starting to fill in on the coast. what's over the bay looks to be retreating. when you get that much fog and low clouds, a cooler pattern. livermore 98. i you a projections of 85, 92, and 88. i split the difference. 89. santa rosa 94 down to 86. 25 gusts to 33. yesterday at this time i think it was about five miles per hour less. that's a tremendous difference there. west at oakland. west-southwest also at the napa airport. sfo to livermore. a lot of 50s in between. 50s or 60s. but the temperature trend is cooler for just about everybody here from 2 to 7 degrees cooler compared to 24 hours ago at this time. you get brentwood near 70. lower 60s now or 50s for some. areas will come down a good five, ten degrees with that westerly breeze. 48 in truckee.
8:17 am
92 vague. palm springs at 90 degrees. southern california and for us as well, monterey 56. you can see the low clouds filling in but peeling back already from the inland areas. this system to the north will cool down as it digs in. that bumps the high out of here. retreats it. that allows the cooler breeze to come roaring in. low clouds, breezy, cooler, 80s, 90s for some. if you don't get the fog you will be in the mid 90s. most will come back into the 80s or upper 60s, especially fairfield. 98 yesterday. 89 today. upper 80s for some. mid 90s antioch, brentwood. 71 santa cruz. lots of low clouds and fog near them. 80s for many. low 90s lower santa clara valley. 60s, 70s, coast, bay, peninsula. looks warmer on the weekend. time is 8:17. we are talking about dunkin' donuts. caroline in half moon bay says they are about to open one
8:18 am
there. but alex savidge, you're at the one that just opened in walnut creek. the grand opening. >> reporter: yeah, i got the sweet assignment, dave? >> yes. >> reporter: you know what? let me tell you what. they still have doughnuts at this location. given how long this line is, i don't know how long that's going to last. they are getting cleaned out this morning. look at this line at the only dunkin' donuts here in the bay area, here in downtown walnut creek at the corner of newell avenue and broadway. hundreds of people lined up around the corner this morning to get their hands on some doughnuts, and also the fresh roasted dunkin' donuts coffee. that actually for a lot of people is one of the bigger draws. what we're hearing from folks this morning, you have a lot of folks who grew up back east and dunkin' donuts is big back there. not as big in california. and i want to bring in the mayor of walnut creek. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> reporter: you are a new york transplant? >> i am a new york transplant.
8:19 am
>> reporter: this brings back memories? >> it does. dunkin' donuts is the place to go for a morning treat. even afternoon and late night treats in the east coast. and we are so lucky to bring a piece of home for all of our citizens from other places here to walnut creek, and to teach the people here what it is like to have dunkin' donuts. >> reporter: a lot of folks like you moved from the east coast. it's really kind of a special experience for them to come to a dunkin' donuts? >> yes. >> reporter: what is this going to do for the downtown area from a business standpoint. you have a business with hundreds of people lined up out the door. >> it's attracting people. that's good for the city. but what it does is it gives walnut creek a big spectrum from early dawn to late at night. we're the place to be if you want to have good food, good friends, good times, and we are
8:20 am
so excited to have an early morning place to our repertoire. >> reporter: all right. a big boost downtown area. very excited. one of many people very excited about the grand opening here of the only dunkin' donuts store in the entire bay area. but we're told more are coming. 12 more stores expected to be opened by the same man who owns this place here. he is expected to open 12 more stores in contra costa county in the coming years. there will be one coming potentially to your neighborhood sometime soon. >> wow. how many doughnuts have you eaten? how many cups of coffee have you had? >> reporter: i am going to plead the fifth. >> [ laughter ] >> reporter: on the doughnut situation. before we went on, i was making sure there wasn't any frosting on my mouth. >> it's become a situation. okay. looking good. we will talk to you later. well, still ahead on "mornings on 2", if you ever had a craving for a thin mint
