'cuz i was running the show. anyway -- i should not divulge all this -- >> yeah, please. >> too much.
8:32 am
looking friday, it's always good looking, it's friday. gray skies, temps are on the cool, gray side. okay, it's not the prettiest of days, at least it's not downpour oring rain. it's now 49 degrees at central park, same thing for you out in islip, same thing in bridgeport, 48 in poughkeepsie and 43 in monticello. temps on the slightly cooler side, some places it's a little bit warmer. more or less similar to yesterday. it is the exact same number yesterday at the same time, as far as your temp goes in central park. just a few showers in westchester and rockland county, also up around the bronx, but it's not a big deal at all. we do have an upper level low that wants to come through the tristate region, and when that guy comes by, it's going to help to kick up a few more showers, but it's just a quick round that we will have to deal with. not a big deal at all. the computer models are picking up on it, they've been doing so for the last couple of days.
8:33 am
out of here between 6-9:00 this evening, into tonight, and then it should shut down after that. saturday looks okay with a partly sunny sky but sunday cloudy again with showers starting early in the morning and going through the entire day, light to moderate rainfall coming at you. be prepared for that. maybe a quiet sunday. today's high up to 56, high of 61 tomorrow with a partly sunny sky, better looking day for the weekend. sunday looks wet and on the cool side, high of 55, a few leftover showers on monday. that may actually intensify a little bit. we'll have to wait and see, but still starting off the workweek on a wet note. speaking of a workweek, this is not, this is spring break for new york city kids -- >> i don't know, it's been kind of busy this morning. >> yeah, you think so? >> as far as volume, it hasn't been bad, but there's a lot of incidents. >> keeping you awake. good morning, christina. >> good morning, mike, good
8:34 am
we still have a couple things, new situation southern state west exit 28, that's a crash, one lane is blocked off and on the cross bronx expressway westbound by the sheraton, it's really jammed up into that spot. be aware of that. now let's take a look at the fdr because the southbound side past the area of 79th, we do have an accident in the left lane, we're looking at a lot of volume as you're passing that spot, and let's take a look at the tappan zee bridge. rock ronald/westchester county bound looking great. tonight starting at 9:00, rockland county bound is going to have construction because of some work they're doing with the structure of the new bridge, so rockland county-bound is going to be affected, definitely going to be heavy. goes from 9 p.m. to 2 p.m. tomorrow and again tomorrow night, 9 p.m. to 2 p.m. on sunday. so if you travel late night, definitely something to keep in mind.
8:35 am
because we're still seeing delays, r trains northbound with signal problems and southbound 1 trains with signal problems at 103rd street. alternate side is suspended, but meters. greg and rosanna, back to you. >> okay. so when you go to the grocery store in new york city, pretty soon you could be paying a five cent tax for a paper or plastic bag. >> the city council is considering that. it's already been done in the east end of long island. >> they want you to stop using paper and plastic bags. they want you to bring a heavy canvas bag from home -- >> right. so they're going to tax you so that you remember to bring your bag from home. >> ultimately, they say it's about helping the environment. we'll see about that. >> it has nothing to do with their pockets, right? juliet huddy outside a fareway supermarket in chelsea. what kind of reaction are you getting, juliet? >> interestingly, it's actually mixed.
8:36 am
be for it because of the whole environment aspect and the fact there are, you know, the reusable bags we'll talk about in a second. i was a little distracted, sorry, there was a road rage incident going on 26th and avenue of the americas, we're outside of the fareway. and, you know, when you walk down the street, brenda and i, our photographer, were here and just in the last 20 minutes i've seen a couple plastic bags floating by. they get stuck in the subway grates, they clog up our landfills, it's kind of a disaster. looks like the days of these plastic bags that you get at the grocery stores may be over. sounds like it's pretty much guaranteed. the council speaker is in favor of this now, she'd been a holdout. she hadn't liked the idea at all, but now she says she's for it. political observers say this is basically a touch of gold. her approval essentially guarantees that this legislation will be passed.
8:37 am
look, these plastic bags, as i said, are flying everywhere, they're clogging up the landfills, they cost about 12 million a year to dispose of these things. it's a lot of money. so you're not only talking about, obviously, the environmental factor, but you're talking about saving some money. opponents, of course, say this burden is going to fall, the five cents per plastic bag burden, is going to fall on, obviously, all of us who are going out and buying stuff, but it's really going to be particularly hard for the poor of this community who really need to save every single penny that they possibly can, and five cents definitely adds up. i did talk to a couple of folks here. listen to what they have to say. >> no, i think it's okay. you know, environment is always a big thing. >> and you could always bring the -- >> you could always bring, i always carry my backpack, so -- >> oh, okay. >> or another bag. you always see people in new york carrying their bags, so i think, you know, i think it's a good step. >> be i really would rather not have to deal with that.
8:38 am
>> they want to clean up the environment. >> well, is there an alternative then to plastic bags so that, you know, you don't have to, you know, pay for, like, having a bottle deposit, you know, when you go back your 24-pack of poland spring? i'd rather not have it. come up with an they were. >> all right, once again there is the alternative of using the cloth bags that are reusable. you know, this thing is you obviously have to think, you have to plan things out, you have to be a little smarter, a little bit more efficient when you're planning your grocery/market outings because you're not going to be able to scrunch them all up. these are a little bit harder to deal with. there is an exception though, there are some exceptions to fee. those include people who are paying, making purchases with food stamps, also when you go to the pharmacy and you have a plastic bag and they give you your medicine and things like that. so you can look at the legislation, it actually is going to be voted on next week,
8:39 am
results, obviously, when they happen. we're live out here in chelsea, back to you. >> all right, juliet. people are already weighing in, okay? because this is already in effect on some towns on long island. agnes says on my facebook page, you are correct, because i'm against this. you are correct regarding plastic bags on the east end. i liver in river held, shop at stop and shop, and the bag is ripped before i even get to my car. >> that's agnes. >> carlos says you're right about the plastic bags, i ask them to double them, and they look at me like i'm asking for a benjamin. >> keep going. [laughter] >> why, did you write something? >> i'm listening, i'm listening. keep going. >> no. and then other people say, well, why don't you bring your own bag? if i remember, i will try to bring hem. and a lot of times when i go shopping i go for my whole family and, hence, it's a lot of bags. >> i don't want you to get all worked up about this.
8:40 am
i won't feel quite so bad. i'll just pay it, and it's not coming out of my pocket. >> whatever i can do to kind of calm you down -- [laughter] i'm all over it. >> thank you. all right. shall we talk about the homeless situation? because that's another topic that gets me -- >> all fired up. all right -- >> yeah, you see them all over the streets. it's so sad. >> allow me, rosanna. >> okay. >> yes, we have seen, even the mayor has acknowledged more homeless on the streets. it's undeniable. however, there is a new report that says the number of homeless on the streets has actually dropped by double digits. a new survey released by the mayor's office found nearly 2800 homeless people were living on the streets in february, february 9th. that's 12% fewer than the count taken in february of last year and 36% fewer than the first count taken back in 2005. however, a lot of people are discounting these results. >> yeah, including the president of the coalition for the
8:41 am
respected person in this field. she says doing the survey on one of the cold winter nights does not produce accurate numbers since people are more likely to find shelters indoors. critics also say it doesn't count younger homeless who are more likely to spend nights on couches or coffee shops. anyway, it's a sad situation and, hopefully, we can address this properly. >> all right. can we take a quick peek outside? what is happening weather wise? >> well, it's arbor day. you should hugging a tree, greg. >> seriously? what does that actually mean? >> it means you have to be a treehugger today. >> no, it doesn't. [laughter] what does it actually mean? >> i'm not sure. we'll ask one of the leaders in the world of food, he's written several cookbooks, including america's best breakfasts.
