Directed them to impound carts, something that has been happening for over a month. Street vendors said they feel mistreated. Now gone viral. A San Francisco public works employee can be seen pushing a Street Vendors cart condiments, onions, hot dogs and bell peppers end up on the ground while the worker can be seen picking up some of his cooking tools. Vendors we purchase everything that were selling. I have receipts of what im buying. We went to Fishermans Wharf area where the incident took place and didnt find any Street Vendors up the street on pier 33. We met six of them selling hot dogs and fruit. They confirmed knowing that Street Vendor in the video and said public works employees have been confiscating many of their carts. Pasado. So last month the city took six carts. In a statement, the citys Public Works Department said their workers are trained on the escalating techniques and regarding the videos said in part, were still looking into what led up to that moment and the events that preceded. We strive to treat members of the public with respect act during permit enforcement operation. In this circumstance, we did not meet that threshold and we apologize. Milka casimir said. They feel harassed and mistreated. She said this has happened before and showed us a video from another incident that happened a month ago, several times. It hasnt been the first time supervisor bonins office denounced the act and confirmed that the citys street vending ordinance is there to check that people have receipts of items theyre selling. But it doesnt include food at this point, were still waiting on public works to issue their orders on how theyre going to issue permits for food vending. So at this moment, there are no permanent food vendors in San Francisco, so no one has permits not for selling food, no. There are food trucks that do have different permits, but like what you saw out there, like hot dog vendors, people selling fruit on the street out there, currently, none of them are permitted by San Franciscos department of Public Health said they do require a permit for Street Vendors to sell food in San Francisco and added in part, the Environmental Health branch also issues permits to mobile food vendors to lower the risk of foodborne illness and protect Public Health, all permitted vendors display a current year decal premio de la ciudad. You would want a permit from the city. Quiero un permiso. Yes, i would. Now, many of the vendors we spoke to said they want to get permits. They said that every time their carts get confiscated, they said they have to pay a 300 fine, something thats hard for them to make. They want the city to intervene. In the newsroom, luis pena, abc seven news. Its not an easy way to make a buck. Luce is the public works employee going to continue working on food vending operations . Have you heard . Well, don, its still unclear. The San FranciscoPublic Works Department said they are reviewing the video and investigating what led up to it and to the worker. And as to the worker, they said that action will be taken once that investigation is finalized. So we will see. Yeah, well follow up on that. Luis, thank you very much. Developing news now. Negotiate oceans continue to prevent 75,000. Kaiser permanente workers from going on strike. They could walk off the job tomorrow morning if their demands are not met. They want the hospital to address staffing shortages as well as what they call unfair labor practices. As kaiser says, the work of doctors and registered nurses should not be affected. But disruptions could include a wide variety of other hospital services. Patients will feel an immediate impact, especially when they need lab work. Diagnose astic imaging pharmacy vision care and so on. Because most of the employees who are the bulk of those workers in those facility cities would be on strike. The Union Representing those kaiser employees says a walkout would take place from 6 a. M. Tomorrow to 6 a. M. Saturday, due details about the tragic drownings that happened at a san jose daycare to children died at happy, happy daycare yesterday. A third was hospitalized and police spoke for the first time today about the investigation thats underway. Now to abc seven news south bay reporter zach fuentes. Its a tragedy that has shocked the community. Three children fell into this pool at a san jose home daycare. One was hospitalized with nonlife threatening injuries. Two drowned. We now know from the Santa Clara County coroner that there were two one year old girls, payton cobb from hollister and lillian hannon from san jose. This is the type of call thats the worst that a parent can receive as a department. Were going to investigate this. Police were called to the scene after nine monday morning for a welfare check. Its not clear yet who made that initial call and how the children got into the pool. Police say homicide detectives are investigate, waiting along with the department of family and childrens services, the Santa Clara CountyDistrict Attorneys Office confirmed with abc7 that they are reviewing the case to see if charges will be filed. According to the department of social services, the Home Daycare Center was licensed in january of 2021 to 2 women. The pool was noted as an off limits area in their license. Christina andrews of morgan hill founded a nonprofit to teach kids survival skills in the water. Its named courtneys course after her young daughter, courtney, died in a friends pool. I feel for those parents so deeply because i know firsthand what it feels like to lose a child to this, though, details are still not clear as to how the kids at the daycare got into the pool. Andrews says its critical that children learn survival skills in the water and pools are secure. Theres a total difference between a fence around a pool and a pool fence. This is actually designed to keep children out it so cannot be climbed. But beyond just the fence, andrews says that homes need layers of protection. We open this door right now. It is going to be an obnoxiously loud noise that goes off immediately. Other measures include a keypad on the gate leading into the backyard. Also an automatic pool cover that covers the pool entirely. Survival swim lessons is the last layer of protection aside from cpr. But the last layer of protection that the child has, and that is not reliant on any human but the child themself. As for the investigation into that san jose daycare, police say it will take several months in san jose. Zach fuentes, abc seven news. Police are searching for the driver who hit a pedestrian at fifth and market streets in San Francisco last night, then took off. The pedestrian was then hit by a second car, an Autonomous Vehicle with no driver. She suffered serious injuries. Abc7 News Reporter suzanne fawn has more on this from the newsroom. Suzanne cory rina cruz showed media dash cam video of the dramatic collision, but the company would not let us share the video with viewers so as not to compromise the police investigation. Now, this incident was so serious, emergency crews had to use the jaws of life to save the person who was trapped under a driverless car that would not move. Rescue crews work to secure the vehicle in place and extricate the victim quickly within three minutes, crews had to use the jaws of life to free a pedestrian trapped underneath the cruz vehicle. On monday night. Its a first for police and Fire Departments involving a driverless car. The victim was found to be under the left rear wheel of the vehicle, according to police, a black sedan struck a woman crossing the street at fifth and market on monday night. Immediately after that collision, an empty cruz car in the lane beside the sedan hit the same person this morning. Cruz allowed abc seven news staff to review the video, but not record it nor share it. Reporter Gloria Rodriguez describes what she saw in the dash cam. The black sedan hits the pedestrian very hard. It was just very graphic. The pedestrian then goes flying into the other lane, and thats when the av then hits a pedestrian. The video stops soon after that. So we cant tell how long the pedestrian is there on the ground with the av over on top of the pedestrian, we reached out to cruz asking for further clarify location. Today, cruz says its working with police in their investigation. In a statement, it also said, quote, the av then braked aggressively to minimize the impact and at the request of the police, the av was kept in place. Sam abuelsamid is an Automotive Technology analyst with guidehouse insights. He says that automated driving systems are constantly adding data. Sometimes, though, things happen so quickly that there is simply nothing you can do. No matter how well you are tracking all of the other road users around you, abdulsamad says. A driverless car most likely could not have avoided the collision on monday night. The basic physics, i mean, when you have a 4,000 pound vehicle, it is inherently going to take a certain amount of time to stop and according to San Francisco police, the woman who was struck is in serious condition at San FranciscoGeneral Hospital with multiple traumatic injuries. Again, police are still looking for the driver of the black sedan involved in that initial collision. That driver left the scene after hitting the woman. Live in the newsroom, suzanne fan abc seven news. Suzanne, as you mentioned, we know police are looking for the hit and run driver. But what could happen with cruz in the wake of this incident . Well, the dmv is the agency in california that regulates the testing and permits for avs. Now, all av companies are required to report crashes to the dmv for investigation. If the dmv finds that the av was at fault, they could modify or revoke a companys permit. But again, that does not sound like the situation for cruz in this incident. Back to you. All right , suzanne. Good to know. Thank you so much. And earlier today on our 3 p. M. Show, getting answers, we asked an expert to evaluate rate the collision and he said people are too quick to blame. Autonomous vehicles and the need and they need to look at the bigger picture. You know, these pedestrians walking through intersection are socalled vulnerable road users and although theres a focus here on Automated Vehicle companies, what we really need is automated intersections that consider vulnerable road users that can come into conflicts with vehicles, be they human driven or Automated Vehicles. Whether or not the vehicle did what it needed to do. Theres clearly a need to have smart intersections to protect vulnerable road users. Live interviews like the one that you just heard happen every weekday at 3 p. M. You can watch getting answers live on abc7 on tv or wherever you stream.

Their home, though, is on the streets prepandemic, Contra Costa County counted fewer than 2300 homeless residents. Well, the last count last year topped 3000. Thats a 34 increase. So whats being done about it . Abc seven News Reporter anzar hassan has some answers. Housing advocates say people are suffering in silence in east Contra Costa County. I did not receive any support or any resources during the time me and my children were homeless. I had to pay for a hotel stays weekly on my own, agrees clayton shared her struggles on a Panel Discussion on homelessness and housing. She was joined by activists and city leaders from pittsburgh , antioch and brentwood. Every city can do better. We do have to think about things on a regional and a state level. Brentwood vicemayor Susanna Meyer says her city raised the inclusionary rate for the number of affordable units that must be built in new developments to 13 and remove inlieu fees, which developers could pay. Instead of building low income housing. The developments that are being currently built will actually have to stand to that. And so we will, as we get more build out coming in, we will be getting more Affordable Housing coming in as well. Pittsburgh mayor chanel scales preston spoke of several new projects underway, such as this one for low income veterans. She says there is no shortage of construction around the city. The challenge is funding to build Affordable Housing. I think the hardest part is getting the funding. You know, it comes from all these sources from the federal government. The state, you know, the county, you know, your city, and then the nonprofit. And were trying to figure out how to put all that funding together to build that housing. Antioch mayor lamar thorpe says aside from the red tape, until theres better coordinated efforts, housing, the homeless will remain a big problem in antioch. We you know, weve invested in and Bridge Housing stabilized people getting them the Wraparound Services and then them getting them into housing. But im not sure were all doing that. And so thats concerning because were going to continue to see an explosion of Homeless People in our streets. Housing advocates like the group as, which is working in east Contra Costa County, says theyre encouraged, but that more still must be done. We want to keep these conversations going because it does help in the long run. In pittsburgh, san hassan, abc7 news. All right, lets talk about the weather now. What did spencer say .
