city. and while leaders say they have a paving plan, residents are skeptical, complaining that it's going. going now at a
6:31 pm
snail's pace. >> now, as part of our efforts to build a better bay area, we went to oakland to find out why it's taking so long, and abc7 news reporter lyanne melendez dug deep into this to find the answer. >> well, it was one of those stories that we had to do because we received so many complaints and many people from this newsroom who live in oakland, so, yeah, so oakland had set a goal to repave 55 miles of roads, roads this year. so far it's only completed ten miles now, according to the oakland department of transportation, the city will not meet this year's goal, and you will see why they are so behind and blame it on the rain. in the meantime, city officials are asking oakland residents to have patience when filling those potholes. but really, how long can a city and its people put up with this nuisance? tell me what you see every day, every day we see people come off the freeway. >> you're watching me. if you
6:32 pm

6:34 pm
hall this past year. >> we did have a good number of vacancies and certainly i had to subcontract with even auto repair shops to make sure that our vehicles that fix the streets, are in operation. >> that's because the city's truck repair shop cannot handle the overwhelming demand. we were told that there are 20 employees currently working on 700 pieces of equipment. so what are we looking at here? >> we're looking at, you know, vehicles that need to be serviced so we can get them on the street for example, the city should have four designated city trucks that work exclusively to fill potholes. >> here's their status. one truck burnt in an accident. two are currently waiting to be repaired as parts are hard to find. that leaves oakland with only one working pothole truck, so they rely heavily on private companies to do the work. this

who want to know the status of the repairs on your street, there's an interactive map which will give you the construction start date. now you can find that on our website, abc seven news.com. a lot of complaints. >> yeah, understandably you know there's always reasons things don't get done. but but certainly doing something like fixing streets and potholes is blocking and tackling our city and just basic things that have to be taken care of. >> and it's costing people so much money to repair their cars as well. and council member got hurt. >> yeah. you know ironically. yeah, yeah. all right. thanks, liane. >> well, after chaotic week of infighting, house speaker mike johnson pushed through the renewal of fisa, the foreign intelligence surveillance act, or fisa, allows us in us intelligence agencies to collect the communications of foreign nationals without a warrant. it sometimes collects data on americans who interact with persons of interest. the fbi says fisa is critical to the security of all americans, especially in the fight against
6:37 pm
terrorism. >> our most immediate concern has been that individuals or small groups will draw some kind of twisted inspiration from the events in the middle east to carry out attacks here at home. we should not be expanding fisa, we should be creating safeguards to protect foundational civil liberties rights. >> the revised version shortens the law's lifespan from 5 to 2 years. it will lapse if it is not reauthorized by next friday. >> comin version shortens the law's lifespan from 5 to 2 years. it will lapse if it is not reauthorized by next friday. >> coming up heren the streets this second friday.

very nice. like so many kids playing backyard football, i pretended to be the juice running the ball so it was a bit sad. 25 years later to be standing outside the l.a. courthouse reporting on the murder trial of a childhood hero . it was a spectacle and an american tragedy. two innocent people killed and a barrier breaking icon's fall from grace. o.j. simpson's death this week ends a painful chapter in this country on so many levels. perhaps what really matters is how his trial exposed some uncomfortable truths about race and justice in america. i always love to hear from you. let me know what you think. follow me on social media at dan ashley abc seven. >> well, that's all the time we have for this edition of abc seven news at six. i'm dionne lim and i'm dan ashley for the sandhya patel chris alvarez. >> all of us here, we appreciate your time. hope you have a nice rest of the evening and that we see you again for abc seven news at 11. >> yeah. have a good night. we'll see you soon.
