The green light to finally get the repairs going. This is the massive sinkhole as you can see here that slices through miner road. Its the main road in and out for close to 3,000 orinda residents and for months, neighbors have had to take the long detour to get around the sinkhole. Well, now not for much longer. It hasnt been an easy road for orinda residents. They have had to take the long way home. Traffic, then potholes. Narrow streets and the curves are pretty dangerous. Reporter with detour signs along the way. Its bad. I didnt like it because it was scary. Reporter a major detour after this massive sinkhole. Sky drone 5 gives us an inside look at the large sinkhole. It measures roughly 25 feet wide, 15 feet long, and 20 feet deep. It ruptured sewer lines and created gridlock for drivers.

But now they have had to take this detour that takes them five to six miles around a windy road. Here we are on the other side of this sinkhole. And the work is started. But now neighbors say how long will it take . It was supposed to be a threeweek delay when it collapsed. And now it will probably be three months. Reporter the city says a temporary fix will include a 200,000 rental bridge. Now, the homeowners whose property is right by the creek and sinkhole say this whole process hasnt been easy. They have received their fair share of angry emails from neighbors say we want this fixed as soon as possible. It will get fixed over the summer when its dry. They will have that temporary bridge. But this total cost would be up to 3 million. In orinda, Juliette Goodrich, kpix 5. Meanwhile, some families in the town of pleasanton are hoping for help tonight to save their properties from storm related erosion. Homeowners along foothill road have seen their backyards disappearing into the creek back there in recent months. They will meet with the zone 7 water agency tonight to ask for Financial Assistance to cover their repairs. Good news for California Coastal community that was cut off after the storms. Caltrans reopened a stretch of highway 1 just north of the Pfeiffer Canyon bridge between big sur and carmel, good news for people cut off but it wont solve the bigger problem with that damaged bridge. Thats view from sky drone 5. It was supposed to be torn down this week but the demolition is on hold. Caltrans crews met with an engineer today to figure out how to position a crane and wrecking ball to tear it down. Replacing the bridge is going to take a year or more. Just moments ago, President Donald Trump firing back against a federal court ruling that has blocked his revised travel ban. It was put on hold two hours ago by a federal judge in hawaii and will not go into effect as planned tomorrow. The decision came down after the state argued the ban discriminates on the basis of nationality. The state also claimed it could hurt tourism. And it prevents hawaiians from receiving visits from relatives in the six mostly muslim countries covered by the ban. Right now President Trump is at a huge rally with supporters in nashville where he had this to say just minutes ago about the judges ruling. The order he blocked was a watered down version of the first order. That was also blocked by another judge. Boo and should have never been blocked to start with. President trump says the order has nothing to do with religion and is only meant to protect america and strengthen its borders. Hawaiis governor disagrees. We felt compelled to assure that we will not tolerate discrimination on the basis of National Origin or religion because that truly goes against the very essence of what makes hawaii a very special place. It turns out hawaii is just one of 14 states that have filed restraining orders in an effort to stop the revised travel ban. New at 6 00 President Trump erasing an executive order on fuel efficiency put in place during president obamas last days in office. Kpix 5s political reporter melissa caen on the move that is worrying california environmentalists. Melissa. Reporter yeah. Veronica, today the president gave a speech to autoworkers in michigan where he promised more jobs and fewer regulations in general but he also made one specific announcement. He is stopping an Obama Administration environmental rule that was put in place as they were walking out the door. Today i am announcing that we are going to cancel that executive action. Reporter President Trump is talking about what president Obamas Administration did just three days before leaving office forcing automakers to make vehicles that get about 36 miles a gallon by 2025. But automakers told President Trump, this is too soon. We are going to ensure that any regulations we have protect and defend your jobs, your factories. Reporter President Trumps order means that the epa must continue to work with automakers to come up with fuel standards by april 2018. Automakers applauded the move saying the current rule ignores the fact that low gas prices means electric cars arent selling. In a statement, the president of the Auto Alliance wrote, the Trump Administration has created an opportunity for decisionmakers to reach a thoughtful coordinated outcome predicated on the best and most current data. Stanley young isnt buying it. They want to sell more suvs and light trucks. Thats their cash cow. Reporter young is a director of communications of the California Air Resources Board. This board oversees californias air standards which are by law allowed to be more strict than the federal rules. Because we as a state began setting standards before the Clean Air Act was even written or considered because if anybody remembers what los angeles was like back in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, smog was very bad so we have whats known as extraordinary and compelling conditions and that allows us to set standards that can be stricter than the federal standards. Reporter could President Trump or someone in his administration end californias special status . Well, we dont know how it would work and were very concerned that it might happen. And i think well cross that bridge when we get to it. Reporter todays action wont have an Immediate Impact on california or the 14 other states that have chosen to comply with california standards. Still, young says this date will stay on the front lines. But we are determined to defend california and keep the standards. Reporter there is no way to stop or reverse President Trumps order that was announced today. He is basically just forcing parties to go back to the table for another year or so and young says that the California Air Resources Board will be at that negotiating table and they will fight hard to make sure that these regulations dont go watered down. Live on auto row here in coal marks melissa caen, kpix 5. Getting some new details on a coordinated effort to block a proposed medical Marijuana Dispensary in San Francisco. This is the one that is backed by former oakland mayor jean quan and her husband. It would be on noriega street in the outer sunset. Kpix 5s phil matier is here to tell us about the growing clash with the neighborhood there. Phil. Reporter thats right, ken. We are live at the location and this little former drugstore on the corner as you noted becomes the center of a big controversy. Heres the story. Why we have to listen to this garbage no no reporter former Oakland Oakland mayor jean quan is no stranger to rough political waters and neither is her husband dr. Floyd huen. It was their plan to partner with the upscale apothecary and open the first medical Marijuana Dispensary in San Franciscos heavily asian sunset district. It stunned me. Reporter today the opposition upped the ante bringing in a legal team from the conservative Pacific Justice institute to fight quan and huens permit and other dispensaries that want to open in San Franciscos more blue collar neighborhoods. We are actually at a decisive moment in history. We cannot afford to have infiltration of marijuana or drugs here. The fact there are some right wing groups tied to these organizations or this movement is not an accident. I think the intolerance is the same. Reporter intolerance . Whether its gay marriage or Civil Liberties or our use of medical cannibis. Reporter the supervisor who represents the sunset says she is a bit surprised by the neighborhoods reaction, as well. The asian culture is very much into what you would consider alternative medicine. If anything, i would think that the Asian Community would be very receptive to it. But again, im hearing it from across the board, the opposition. Reporter still, huen says he and the his wife will keep at it. Is the mayor going to get involved in this . She is already involved because she is advising and helping. It will be the first time in San Francisco that there will be [ indiscernible ] owners of a dispensary and we would be proud coowners. Reporter there are currently 37 dispensary for medical marijuana in the city of San Francisco. But this is the first coming into this outer sunset neighborhood which is known to be conservative. It also comes at a time when california is moving from medical marijuana to Recreational Marijuana and the residents here are concerned that that club might change, as well. Although the owners say they have no plans to do that as of now. In the sunset, phil matier back to you guys. A teenaged girl shot and killed by police. The tragic ending to a risky chase in the east bay. Why police say they had to use deadly force. First the oroville dam, now some new damage to a critical part of californias water supply. The problem forcing us to tap into reserves. And sometimes even predators are picky. New video of a Mountain Lion showing mercy to a potential meal. A couple of rain showers in the north bay earlier today. Rain to our north currently and also to our east. Rain returns to your backyard and not just a little. Talk about how much rain were going to get and when it arrives. Next. Fremont police in hayward. It happened yesterday afternoon. Duri susp were learning more this evening about a 16yearold girl shot and killed by Fremont Police in hayward. It happened yesterday afternoon during a shootout with suspects near the cal state east bay campus. Kpix 5s Jessica Flores has more on what led up to the oscars decision to use deadly force. Reporter it all started as a task force investigation. Fremont police were closing in on a vehicle that was connected to a string of robberies. It ended with that young woman shot and killed and investigators say she is from antioch just 16 years old. At shattered suv still parked at haywards Cityview Apartments where Fremont Police officers fired their weapons striking a teenaged girl ride in a separate car. We heard the big boom, and then we heard pow pow pow and heard like screeching tires and then like something hit a pole boom another bam and we came around and saw police and guns and everything. Reporter Hayward Police say fremont officers tracked a vehicle connected to a string of armed robberies to the complex before two officers shot at the targeted vehicle with four people riding inside. When they go to contact the driver of the vehicle and the people occupying the vehicle, the vehicle takes off, rams the detectivess vehicles. The detectives return fire trying to strike the driver of the vehicle. It gets away. Reporter instead, Investigators Say Police shot a woman a 16yearold passenger, police say the driver took off and got about a quarter mile away before crashing near cal state east bay. One suspect ran and got away. One man was arrested. The gunshot victim died at the hospital. A second woman was interviewed and releaseed. There was a bit of priority to track them down and place them under arrest. You know, what folded in the aftermath of trying to detain them it was a tragedy but one of the risks when you try to arrest high risk suspects, things happen. Reporter and police have not said whether or not the young woman who was killed if she was involved in any of those armed robberies. The Alameda County d. A. Is investigating the officer involved shooting and the two officers involved have been placed on administrative leave. In hayward, im Jessica Flores, kpix 5. This evening emergency repairs under way along a critical part of californias water supply line. And yes, it is related to all the storm damage we have had. The Clifton Court four bay is a nearly twomilewide reservoir in the delta between byron and tracy. Kpix 5s Wilson Walker on why this little known body of water is so important. The important thing thats happening is there is no Public Safety emergency whatsoever. Reporter hardly the terror inspiring. Reporter spillway collapse but this is the latest failure a pumping system worn out by winter. We are going to be repairing erosion thats occurred underneath a spillway or a pad or apron that water flows across. Reporter until its fixed it cant get pumped out to Silicon Valley or southern california. So to make good on its water delivery obligations the state has to tap another reservoir. San luis reservoir south of the delta is that 99 plus. We know that that water will be available for us state Water Project contractors and will enable to us continue deliveries effectively. Reporter but san luis was our emergency piggy bank filled by winter. We didnt want to touch that until necessary if at all. But thats how californias water system works. You got a problem right here . Its going to cost you somewhere else. And speaking cost. About 187 billion in unmet needs. Reporter thats a tab we all have to pay. So albeit on a vastly smaller scale than oroville, count the Clifton Court fourbay as the latest crack in californias aging water system. Its not a routine thing thats occurred but i think we have a way to address the problem. Reporter in the San Joaquin River delta, Wilson Walker, kpix 5. So a Mountain Lion might be ferocious predator but apparently they are pretty picky eaters, too. A camera set up in sunol regional wilderness caught this tense tinter action as a stealthy cat crouches down as if he is ready to pounce with this tense interaction when he comes face to face with a portly opossum. But instead of attacking it, the Mountain Lion lets it go. Experts say the cat may have shown mercy because there are a number of better meal options in the area. [ laughter ] why settle for the appetizer when the main course is 10 minutes away. 70s outside today. But not as warm as it has been the south bay you were the warm spot. Morgan hill 73 degrees. San jose and livermore you hit 70. Although most of the day was spent in the 60s. About 15 degrees cooler for some of you today compared to yesterday. Fremont 66. Santa rosa 62. And San Francisco you only hit 59 degrees. As a percentage of average, the first half of march it has not been wet. Santa rosa only 22 of average. San jose 24 of average. Only San Francisco and the peninsula anywhere close to whats normal but that will likely change next week. St. Patricks day, this friday, should be a beautiful day. Partly cloudy, mild, anywhere from the mid60s to the upper 70s. Of course the warmer spots will be inland. So even though we have a storm passing by to the north, some of you got a few rain showers, the big story is the biggest story that will have a long lasting effect is that the ridge of Marin County Superior Court<\/a> on april 4. He is facing reckless driving charges. Susie steimle, kpix 5. New at 6 00 sky drone 5 over one of the bay areas biggest sinkholes. A gaping monster whose days are now numbered, we hear.

So even though we have a storm passing by to the north, some of you got a few rain showers, the big story is the biggest story that will have a long lasting effect is that the ridge of High Pressure<\/a> which gave us the dry weather for more than a week and gave us the 80s, it is moving out. Even though a different ridge of High Pressure<\/a> moves in, for a couple of days thursday and friday which will be beautiful days to get out, with that big blocking ridge of High Pressure<\/a> gone, weather pattern is going to change and early next week its going to get soggy around here. We are mainly cloudy overnight tonight. And that will lead to some mild temperatures. We are talking about lows only dropping to the 50s. A mixture of sun and clouds coming up tomorrow. Look at the highs in the 70s tomorrow and friday inland. Mid to upper 60s near the bay. But i draw your attention to what happens starting saturday. After st. Patricks day, highs in the 60s, yes, cloudier, yes, scattered showers, here we go. Saturday and sunday. Just a few showers. But the biggest change will be next week where some significant rainfall may return. Widespread flooding is not likely but rain likely on monday and tuesday and wednesday. So even though spring starts next week, the rain will likely return. And thats your forecast. No. All right, paul. Looking forward it. Thanks.

Reportedly agreeing to a 7year deal with missouri worth over 21 million. Take it. That nearly triples his salary at cal. Martin won 62 games in three seasons with the bears and led cal into the tournament in 2016. Randy bennetts name will likely pop up as a possible candidate to replace martin at cal.
