About 7 2 degrees into San Francisco. Lets check the roads with liza battalones. 580 in livermore the chp has issued a traffic advisory because of this big rig accident that happened west 580 at vasco. Three lanes of west 580 shut down two lanes east closed. With westbound 580 with those lanes shut down traffic is backed up solid beyond grant line.

Ill have details with more traffic in just a few minutes. Right now a transportation experiment is starting in San Francisco. Kpix 5s anne makovec is at one of the muni bus stops that are also being used by tech shuttles and anne they are paying for it, too, right . They are but not as much as some people would like to see them pay to use our municipal bus stops. Im here at 4th and king by the caltrain station. You can see that decal here behind me on the normal muni bus stop. Lime colored decals indicating commuter shuttle pilot and permitted users only. Its the start of an 18month Pilot Program launching this morning six years in the making. 11 permitted Shuttle Companies can pick up commuters and 99 designated muni stops. They pay the city 3. 55 per stop to pick up commuters mainly tech workers and take them down the peninsula. But many protestors who held several demonstrations against the shuttles over the past year say they are a symbol of the citys rising cost of livingage changing demographics. To calculate the number, the real number has to be what effects does it have on the communities around the stops and how do we pay for that . Thousands of people rely on these shuttles to get to work and earn their livelihood every day. We need to stop politicizing their ability to do that. Reporter now, city leaders see these buses as an extension of mass transit. They estimate there are 35,000 shuttle boardings per day. As for enforcement they say they are going to have 10 special officers out here to make sure all of the shuttle buses are obeying the rules. Okay, anne. Thank you very much.

At least one american aid worker infected with the disease will be flown back to the u. S. Right now, there are two american missionaries in liberia who are diagnosed with ebola. They are dr. Kent brantly of texas and Nancy Writebol of north carolina. They are in grave but stable condition. Writebol reportedly has received an experimental serum. We dont really know how effective the serum will be in this instance of ebola because it really hasnt been done very frequently before, if at all. Dr. Brantly was given a unit of blood from one of his patients who recovered from ebola. And the University Hospital in atlanta says an infected american will be brought to the United States in the next several days and placed inside a high security ward in atlanta isolated from others. 5 12. Several black bart workers say they received racist Death Threats at work and accuse bart of being slow to investigate the incident. The group says threatening graffiti was found on their lockers last month. They allege a pattern of alleged discrimination. And they filed a lawsuit. Lawyers for the workers say barts investigation has taken more than a month. They say they take the report seriously and began an investigation the same night of the incident report. When youre stuck in freeway traffic, it can be tempting to make a move. Reporter john ramos says new smart signs are designed to make driver choices easier. Were not adding more lanes on i80. Reporter 80 in the east bay is one of the most congested highways in the state and whenever theres an accidents things get stupid. Sometimes rampant lane changing and that can cause secondary accidents. Reporter so caltrans is working to make the highway smarter. Today they showed off the high tech signs that will hang over the freeway next year. Using road sensors, some signs will advise a safe speed to travel. Others, which lanes to use. And there are Message Boards that can warn drives about whats the holdup. Motorists are not armed with information. They know that something has happened ahead of them but they dont know what to do about it. Reporter but just because you know about a traffic jam ahead doesnt mean you can escape it. The only real way this project is going to ease congestion is if it can convince people to get off the freeway and for most i880 commuters that means getting on to san pablo avenue which of course causes a traffic jam there. Everybody getting off the freeway, you know, and then everybodys getting tighter, you know, and nobody cant make a turn. Reporter but caltrans knows this so they have installed so called trailblazer signs on san pablo to let commuters know when they are past the incident and its safe to get back on the freeway. The idea is to help people understand whats happening. It just gives them information and then it is up to individual motorists to make informed decisions but we are hoping that people will make smart decisions Going Forward. Reporter even if theyre not Going Forward very fast. In the east bay, john ramos, kpix 5. The entire project will cost 80 million and stretch from emeryville to the carquinez bridge. The signs will be operational early next year. Speaking of traffic, we have a situation. We have a situation brewing on 580. This accident happened around 4 15 this morning. A big rig has overturned blocking both directions of 580 at vasco. The westbound direction where the accident happened first started off west 580, three lanes are shut down. A cab flipped over blocking two lanes. East 580 so right now were looking at west 580 backed up from beyond the 205 interchange. Chp is issue an advisory telling folks to steer clear. Traffic is backed up solid beyond the 205 interchange. And they hope to have this in addition to the fuel spill in the area cleared up within the next 30 minutes or so. Well update you. The damage is done. Avoid 580. This is the second major accident to hit 580 this week. Again, west 580 jampacked from beyond the 205 interchange. Thats the hot spot. The bridge commutes are still okay. Westbound good leaving oakland heading into San Francisco. Metering lights are still off. In the silicon valley, the 880 237 interchange has been free and clear of any major problems. Just keep in mind, we are looking at muni delays this morning on the metro. Shuttle service is replacing the muni metro line between the castro and the embarcadero. Thats kcbs traffic. Lawrence . All right. Checking on the weather outside today, we have some patchy fog below and a few high clouds up above this morning but i think turning out to be a very nice friday outside. Youre going to see a lot of sunshine and these temperatures going to be heating up getting hot inland today. The temperatures may be near triple digits in some of the valleys. A little cooler sea breeze going to be kicking in for the weekend and thats going to drop down the temperatures and bring us some more low clouds and fog. Expect some hazy sunshine into the afternoon. It is a spare the air day. Air quality going to suffer with this very strong ridge of High Pressure overhead and, of course, we have hardly seen any rain. Extreme Drought Conditions have been expanded now. Exceptional across 58 of the state of california. So we are hoping for some rain but no rain in sight just yet. 108 degrees and hot though in fresno. 105 in sacramento. 108 redding. 100 yosemite. Morgan hill near 100. About 85 in san jose. 78 degrees in san mateo. East bay temperatures could see some triple digits in toward brentwood and antioch, about 99 in livermore. 91 benicia. 76 in alameda becoming mostly sunny and about 73 in sausalito. Looking out over the next couple of days, we are going to see those temperatures slowly cooling down as the sea breeze begins to pick up. Looks like we are going to cool those down temperatures around normal toward monday and tuesday. But, guys, no rain in sight. The bay area going to be staying thirsty it looks like for a while. First day of august, too. First day of august so usually we dont get that rain until the middle of october. Okay. Thank you. So while californians struggle with the drought, in detroit tens of thousands of people there are living there with no Running Water in their homes. Kpix 5s Christin Ayers met with a bay area woman who is turning many taps back on in the motor city. Reporter internet entrepreneur tiffany bell said it started as a twitter conversation about the detroit water crisis. There are people that work hard every day and they cant officially like afford to have water Running Water in their houses. Reporter 2,000 miles from tiffanys emeryville apartment marches and rallies were erupting after detroits Water Department shut off Running Water for 15,000 households whose bills were overdue. In a tweet, tiffany asked, is there a directory where people can go for water relief . Her friend replied, i would pay someones bill if i could pay directly. In a matter of hours, the website for the detroit Water Project was born. It wasnt good enough to just retweet the story and move on for the day. We actually wanted to find a way to help people. Reporter call it the polar opposite of socalled slacktiviism. People pay an overdue water site. We ended up with over 6,000 donors. Reporter those donors have so far paid 40,000 in water bills for 500 people in detroit without a middleman. Tiffany says she and her cofounder kristie arent getting a dime. We have been called like a new kind of philanthropy. Reporter this is merely a fix, a sort of Water Service triage. Our focus now is just making sure that people are helped essentially. Reporter she believes the impact could be lasting. I think it would be great to like, you know, keep doing this sort of thing and find other causes to work on. Reporter in emeryville, Christin Ayers, kpix 5. And the average outstanding water bill in detroit is about 540.

Im frank mallicoat. It is 5 30. And this is the day private Companies Start paying to use public bus stops in San Francisco. Right now kpix 5s anne makovec is checking one of the bus stops where the tech shuttles pick up passengers. And she joins us with more. Good morning, anne. Reporter good morning. These are the buses that take tech workers from their homes here in the city down the peninsula to places like facebook and google. You can see this line here at this bus stop near the caltrain station. Commuter shuttle pilot and permitted users only. This is the start of an 18 month Pilot Program launching this morning 6 years in the making. 11 permitted Shuttle Companies can pick up commuters at 99 designated muni stops. They pay the city 3. 55 per stop. But many protestors have held demonstrations against the shuttles over the past year saying these buses are a symbol of the citys rising cost of living and changing demographics. We have to protest to shine a light on the effect of the systemic choices these companies are making on these neighborhoods. Shuttles are here to stay but they have to be coordinated. Reporter the city leaders see the buses as an extension of mass transit. They estimate 35,000 shuttle bus boardings in this city per day. And the Police Department is going to have extra enforcement on staff today, 10 extra officers to make sure all these buses are following the rules. Frank . They are making a lot of stops and making a lot of money, too. Wheres all that money going to go . Reporter you know, it is illegal actually for any of it to go for profit. So all the money has to go to this Pilot Program in order to charge any more to make money off this program, the city would actually have to pass that through voters. Live in San Francisco, anne makevoc, kpix 5. New this morning, evacuees are allowed back to their homes near the scene of a wildfire west of Yosemite National park. For a few days, the fire had threatened about 50 homes in mariposa county. Its burned about 4200 acres and is now 58 contained. There are still concerns the fire could reach the merced grove of giant sequoia trees. Meanwhile, about 15 miles south of placerville a wildfire that destroyed 20 homes is now 95 contained. Its also burned about 4200 acres, mainly in amador county. First day of august, and what did you say, theres no rain in sight probably for another five or six weeks, huh . No ryan in sight for quite a while. Thats typical this type of year. We just dont get the rain going until the middle of october. So now we have dry sunshine outside and some hot temperatures and, in fact, out the door, looks calm this morning. But we are going to see some changes into the afternoon. A few high clouds drifting overhead. Some low clouds and fog down below near the coastline. This afternoon hot inland. 90s maybe triple digits in the warmest valleys. 70s and 80s inside the bay and mostly sunny and temperatures in the 60s and the low 70s toward the coast. Out the door, very mild into livermore this morning. 67 degrees. 61 in concord. 60 in oakland. 60 in San Francisco. This afternoon, those temperatures soaring to 99 degrees in livermore. About 88 in the napa valley. 85 in san jose. About 68 degrees in pacifica. Time for a road check. For that we head to liza battalones. Still a major traffic advisory in place for 580 through the livermore area. Chp tow trucks, everybody still on scene trying to clear up lanes. They had hoped to have this accident cleared up by now. For now, 580 westbound, three lanes shut down at vasco where a big rig overturned ended up over the Center Divider blocking two lanes in the opposite direction. So currently west 580 is backed up beyond grant line. Chopper 5 is on its way. We hope to have live pictures for you momentarily. But in the meantime, youre going to want to avoid 580 the damage is done. Backed up practically stopped from the altamont pass. Better news for muni. They hope to restore service on the metro later this hour. 5 34. A dare rescue effort at the scene, a san diego plane crash a few days ago.

The ntsb hopes to have preliminary reports later this month. The faa is issuing new restrictions on u. S. Airliners now flying over iraq. The order last night says jetliners cannot fly at or below 30,000 feet. Thats an update to an earlier restriction of 20,000. This comes amid fears that militants fighting Government Forces have weapons that are capable of bringing those planes down. The faa also prohibits u. S. Carriers from using two iraqi airports. Now the latest developments in the middle east where a humanitarian ceasefire unraveled just two hours after it started. Heres a live look at gaza city right now. Israel and hamas militants had agreed to halt fighting for 72 hours. But it didnt take long for another exchange of fire to begin near gazas borders with israel and egypt. Gaza police say at least 27 people were killed. More now from cbs news susan mcginnis. Reporter smoke from israeli air strikes in gaza billowed into the sky hours into what was supposed to be a 72hour temporary humanitarian cease fire. Gaza Officials Say nearly two hours into the pause, dozens of palestinians were killed in israeli strikes in rafah. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed hamas militants for breaking the truce brokered by the United Nations and secretary of state john kerry. Some palestinians took advantage of the brief lull in fighting to return to their homes, which now lay in ruins. The ceasefire was designed in part to help them receive urgent humanitarian relief like food and medical supplies and have time to care for their injured and bury the dead. But even under the deal, Israeli Forces said they would press on with their main missing, destroying tunnels leading to israel. In weeks of fighting more than 60 israelis have died but far more palestinians, more than 1400, have been killed. Israeli and palestinian delegations including hamas are due to travel to cairo to discuss a longterm solution. Susan mcginnis, cbs news, washington.

Kpix 5s kiet do joins us live from santa clara where workers are certainly busy. Reporter good morning. This is the busiest that we have seen this stadium this early in the morning so far. We have seen street sweepers. Workers are busy putting in dividers in the parking lot and those flashing green lights that you see, those are metal detectors that have just been put in and there are a lot of them. As for the earthquakes, this will be one of the biggest matchups they have had with 45,000 people. We just checked online and it looks like a few tickets are left. This also marks the biggest major test of traffic so far. Santa clara police have been tweaking the flow and putting to use what they have learned from all their testing and the last big event which was the season ticketholder walk through a week ago. Will the parking situation be a nightmare . How will vta light rail hold up . Will the Concession Stands be able to keep up with demands by cranking out all that gourmet food . There are bound to be some growing pains and lessons learned. This is a test to make sure that the first 49er preseason game goes well on august 17. By the way, the 9ers announced the matchup between mexico and chile the big soccer game coming up on september 6, tickets on sale starting at 10 00 this morning. Good luck getting tickets for that.

The nasdaq was down 93. Tesla motors is moving forward with ways to keep its electric cars on the road. The company is teaming up with panasonic to build a battery manufacturing plant in the u. S. Its expected to create 6500 jobs by 2020. And a Record Number of milliondollar homes were sold in the San Francisco bay area. Research says 5700 homes were sold for a Million Dollars nearly double in the same quarter last year. Another catch though.

The senator staffers point out charter flights are sometimes the only way they can get where they need to go on a tight schedule. 5 44. Lets check in with liza and traffic. Its been a busy morning and we are getting our first pictures now from chopper 5 over this major accident which shut down lanes in both directions of 580. Around 4 15 this morning, this big rig was traveling the westbound direction of 580 overturned partially ended up in the eastbound direction so currently we have three westbound lanes shut down two eastbound lanes shut down. Major traffic approaching the scene right now traffic virtually stopped from beyond the altamont pass. Altamont pass road is not a good alternative. Thats also jampacked. Patterson road is the best alternative if you can just take ace to avoid backups. You can see traffic down to 29 Miles Per Hour approaching the scene. We have better news for the muni system.
