Reporter those unintended consequences are likely to be the center of debate as this moves into the house, which could take a week or two she was very clear today that this is not going to be a rush job, that its going to take some time to work it out if it gets worked out. Do you get the sense that these politicians are thinking depending which way they vote theres a lot riding on this, that voters will say depending way you vote, youre out. Reporter they are concerned about getting involved in the middle east, and remember that a lot of these democrats, they came in on the antivietnam wave or thats where they cut their teeth politically.

Reporter the citys other option is its other source of water, which comes from sacramento. Its not cheap water because we have to have it delivered through napa and up here.

Mark kelly joins us from the new path in oakland. Is that path in our future . Reporter it turns out the idea of being able to bike between San Francisco and oakland is in the works.

And then they immediately ask, when is it going to connect to San Francisco . Reporter the when is still years away. At this point, this design exists attaching the bike path alongside the bridges western span. Walkers and bikers could use it and this is important, maintenance crews could use it too keeping them from shutting down traffic lanes when the bridge needs a touchup. Sounds like a winwin. Cars are less likely to get held up. Bikers get their path. So whats the catch . Well, here it goes. Now we have to come up with 500 million to complete the maintenance and bike path on the west span. Reporter to foot the bill, one idea is a temporary toll hike of 1 over four years. After the 6. 4 billion to build this bridge, bike path included, can the public stomach shelling out even more money . One says its worth it. I think it would be a wonderful opportunity.
