utterly devastated by what happened. attorney greg mendez represents karen cartagena, the 71 year old drove into a family at fourth and king, killing a four year old girl in a stroller. police say it was a tragic accident. mendez explains what led up to the collision. >> at the time of the incident, there were uh. there's circumstantial evidence which suggested that miss cartagena should continue driving. taking the right turn based upon indications from a traffic signal operator, as well as the fact that, at least one person behind her was apparently honking their horn, indicating that she was holding up traffic and that she should drive ahead. >> mendez says cartagena read an emotional letter of apology in court that brought the judge and others to tears. >> she is beyond remorseful, and her life, is has been forever

changed. >> the victim's family, who are now back in korea, also had heartfelt written letters read by a translator. cartagena will face two years of court probation, 400 hours of community service and she'll need to complete a driver's ed course. luke bornheimer, a sustainable transportation advocate, does not agree with. >> i think there's a dangerous precedent set when you give really lenient, you know, sentences for people killing other people with their cars. >> right after the collision, sfmta reduced the two right hand turn lanes from fourth onto king street to a single lane, saying it would slow traffic and reduce the amount of cars going through the crosswalk. bornheimer says those changes are not enough. >> the city really needs to redesign streets like king street and many other streets so that there are less driving lanes and, you know, use that space to create more space for people and more space for protected bike lanes. >> and san francisco adopted vision zero ten years ago with

the goal of zero traffic deaths. safety advocates say, though the city is still far from reaching that goal. but sfmta says it has reduced the number of fatal collisions and severe traffic related injuries. it has added a number of protected bike lanes, and the city is adding more speeding cameras back to you. >> okay. thanks very much, suzanne. >> san francisco officials are preparing to crack down on illegal parking in the city. this means a lot more tickets could soon be issued. >> abc seven news reporter luz pena is here to explain the key factor behind this big change. loose. >> that's right. sfmta says their enforcement plan is all about public safety. but some san franciscans believe it's also about something else money and the budget deficit. parking enforcement officers in san francisco are gearing up to ticket more people. >> our parking control officers are going to be doing some intense operations in each supervisorial district. >> sfmta's director jeffrey tumlin announced the city's parking enforcement officers will finally be able to start

enforcing all the parking rules, something some san franciscans feel like has been happening. >> catching, catching. that's the sound of money. >> leaving james account when he got a parking ticket several weeks ago. >> i was before it was parking in a commercial space with a noncommercial vehicle. >> tumlin said their parking department was short staffed during the pandemic, but some san franciscans say they didn't notice a change in the last four years. alan showed us the ticket he got just last week. >> this is a parking ticket i got the other day for parking during street sweep hours. >> our data team analyzed san francisco's parking citation data and found that in 2023, the majority of violations listed were for street cleaning. over 500,000 tickets were issued for this sfmta said their focus will be public safety. >> the safety oriented rules like parking on the sidewalk, blocking fire hydrants, blocking the crosswalk, sustainable transportation advocate luke bornheimer is glad this enforcement is coming.

>> we know that people who park on sidewalks or in bike lanes or in crosswalks or really close to intersections reduce safety for all people, but especially for children and seniors. people with disabilities who walk, bike or use mobility devices to get around. >> sfmta's plan comes after mayor london breed announced the city street safety plan, a decade after vision zero policy began. supervisor mandelman is hopeful this enforcement will help public safety. >> i have been frustrated for many years about cars blocking bike lanes, parking in the street in ways that are dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists. >> sfmta anticipates a $12.7 million deficit during the fiscal year 2024 to 2025, and 2025 to 2026, a deficit that makes some san franciscans question the latest enforcement announcement point. >> well, the whole city is trying to get more money because of the deficit. the budget deficit. >> and the data shows that the

number of tickets issued each month by sfmta over the last four years has stayed approximate the same. sfmta said they're planning to increase their enforcement at the end of april. luz pena abc seven news. >> all right, luis, thanks very much. pro-palestinian protesters who shut down the golden gate bridge on monday may have to pay the people they inconvenienced. san francisco district attorney brooke jenkins is now urging anyone who was, quote, trapped on the bridge to contact her office. jenkins wants to know what happened to them to determine whether they're the victim of a crime, which may entitle them to restitution. officers arrested a total of 26 people on various charges, including felony conspiracy and false imprisonment for shutting down the span for hours. so far, no charges have been filed against protesters arrested in alameda county, 12 people were taken into custody after they blocked lanes on 880, essentially shutting down the freeway in oakland. in a statement, alameda county district attorney pamela price says prosecutors are prepared to

receive case information for those arrested during that incident. she adds while my office supports the essential right to protest, it is important to note that public safety should never be compromised in exercising the first amendment right of free speech. >> a computer issue caused delays for airline passengers at airports across the bay area today, alaska airlines briefly grounded all flights for about an hour this morning. the seattle based airline said it requested a ground stop for alaska and horizon flights. out of an abundance of caution, the airline experienced an issue while performing an upgrade to the system that calculates weight and balance. the grounding came as senate committees held dual hearings today over major safety failures at boeing. a boeing worker testified accusing boeing of taking manufacturing shortcuts to save time and money in a rush to address its bottlenecks in production, boeing hit problems, pushing pieces together with excessive force to make them appear that the gaps don't

exist. >> even though they exist. >> boeing calls the claims inaccurate and says it is confident in the safety and durability of the 787. today, on getting answers, i spoke with aviation analyst john nance. >> this is a watershed moment for boeing. it doesn't mean that they are going downhill in terms of overall quality. it does mean that they've got to change the way they view on the front lines. their responsibilities towards personal responsibilities, towards safety, and that's what's been slipping over time. the idea that they could they could have things wrong with the airplane as it's going down the production line, but still push it to the next position on the line, rather than stopping the line and making sure it was right. >> boeing says it does encourage employees to say something and speak up if they see something wrong. >> governor newsom says the chp organized retail task force is making a difference, according to newsom's office, the task force has conducted 185 investigations so far this year. they've led to 474 arrests and the recovery of more than

$160,000 in stolen goods valued at $4.2 million. the task force, first formed in 2019, includes not only the chp but also personnel from local police departments and sheriffs and district attorney's offices across the state. >> bay area union carpenters and local elected officials joined forces today to take a stand against tax fraud in the construction industry. dozens gathered outside daly city city hall as part of a national day of action. the goal is to let companies know they will be prosecuted if they engage in illegal practices, such as violating workers comp laws, failing to pay overtime or failing to pay at all. >> and they're taking advantage of the workers. and that's our job is to say, you know, when you do that, that's tax fraud. when you do that, that's even if it is a form of labor trafficking. and we're not going to just sort of say it's a civil issue. we're going to treat it like what it is. it's a crime. >> officials say they want to

make sure the labor force union and nonunion alike is all protected. according to wagstaffe, those who violate labor and tax laws can face three years in prison or more, depending on the number of victims. >> it is the end of an era. this weekend, saturday will be the last run for bart's legacy trains. those are the ones that have been running for 50 years. more than 50 years. in some cases, the transit agency will hold a celebration at macarthur station in oakland with food activity as well as a bart merchandise pop up. this will also mark the end of the transition to bart's so-called fleet of the future. those more modern cars have been phased in, and there are now more than 700 of them. as for the legacy cars, at least three of them are headed to a museum in suisun city. >> a youth baseball league is facing a different kind of opponent. thieves. the effort to help them get back in the game, detoxing from your phone. you're probably on it more than you think. and the future of the happiest place on earth. the changes coming to disneyland,

in last night's play-in tournament. >> that was a tough game today. the players spoke with the media about the season ender and their future, and abc seven sports anchor chris alvarez is live from chase center. uh- somber there. i would imagine today chris. >> yeah, really, it's hard to believe because 24 hours ago i was in sacramento with the warriors, getting ready for that play in game against the kings, and it just didn't see what happened last night for the warriors coming down and getting blown out in sacramento a lot to be kind of parsed out this summer for the warriors and their future, especially the future of klay thompson, who is a free agent going into the off season. now the future hall of famer a night to forget for klay last night. he was scoreless. went zero for ten in the elimination game. lost last night in sacramento. not something we don't see from klay to be honest with you. but one game doesn't make a career. look he's a four time champion. missed just five games the entire regular season. remember he missed back to back seasons with season ending injuries. he

averaged just under 18 points per game. hit 268 threes. actually led the league in free throw percentage. the big three of steph, klay and draymond had delivered four titles during this dynasty, and they still want another run at it. >> we've been through the highest of highs and lows. whether it's losing a championship, winning a championship, missing the playoffs. we've been through everything together. so uh- that does mean a lot. and makes me, grateful to have the times i've had with them, like, done some pretty historic stuff. >> could never see myself, you know, not with those two guys. it's i understand this league changes and there's so many things that go into it, and we're not going to play forever. but, you know, we've, experienced so much together. and at the end of the day, like, again, i know they want to win, i know i want to win, and that's all i'm worried about. >> they stuck with us through the good and the bad. not so great this year. but you can't

win every year. so yeah, i do have confidence until it's no longer obviously you want to keep winning. >> i mean when you've been a part of winning seasons, you don't really want to go away from that. so i would like to win again. one for the thumb would be nice. >> so therein lies the challenge for the warriors. can they get it done with this same group. and klay thompson entering the off season. he was asked about if he thought much about his future and what that looks like. he was a little bit, salty in his answer. says he doesn't think about it. he has a lot of time before july when free agency really opens up in those contract negotiations. kind of begin, maybe potentially with other teams. but for now, klay is a warrior. and as a warrior fan, i think you got to enjoy the last decade plus because it's been such a run, clavin said today. he was drafted in 2011. could have never imagined the ride he's been on with this warriors team was much more at five and six. obviously, steph want to stay together. we'll see if it all kind of pans out with the financials later on this

summer. >> let's hope so. it's going to be really hard to adjust to that change. these guys have been together so long and so effectively that's going to take some getting used to. >> a special trio right? right. all right. >> thanks, chris. >> steph curry will be spending his summer doing what he's never done before playing for team usa at the olympics. curry is one of 12 players selected to the team that will be coached by his warriors boss, steve kerr. steph was eligible to play in the games in 2016 and 2020, but chose not to in order to recover from injuries. he'll be the fifth player to represent the warriors at the olympics following draymond green, klay thompson, harrison barnes and chris mullin, so he keeps playing baseball even though the regular season is over. yeah, right. yeah. >> well he'll be busy as always. all right. let's turn our attention to the weather forecast. just another lovely day around the bay area spencer, let's keep this up. >> i'm trying doing my best. i'm not a miracle worker, but some think i am. here's a look at our satellite radar composite image. you can see that we've got still clear skies that we refer to. pleasant, mild weather, an

onshore flow, a nice brisk one. but some clouds offshore might be moving in our direction. that will bring a few hours and days of partly cloudy skies our way, but no rain is expected. right now we're looking at breezy conditions, especially near the coast where we have 18 mile per hour winds at sfo and 22 mile per hour gusts right now at half moon bay. but generally the winds are relatively calm and mild, as is our weather. right now. we're looking at the 24 hour temperature change and a couple of locations are about two degrees cooler than at this time yesterday, but most locations are anywhere from 2 to 4 degrees warmer than at this time yesterday. so let's take a closer look. 68 degrees in san francisco right now. mid 70s at oakland and hayward, 80 degrees at san jose, 75 palo alto and 61 at half moon bay. nice view from the east bay hills. camera looking westward, we've got some cloud cover out there, but it's just partly cloudy, partly sunny. afternoon 76 right now at santa rosa, petaluma only 6874 at napa and mid 70s also at concord and livermore. and these are our forecast headlines. partly cloudy and mild tonight

although overnight we'll see some partial clearing tomorrow. more summer-like warmth is coming our way and into the weekend we can expect this dry pattern to continue. it'll be a pleasant one as well. overnight lows under partly cloudy skies with some clearing towards sunrise will be mainly in the low 50s, so it's going to be pretty mild overnight. some locations way up north we drop into the upper 40s, but generally we're looking at 50s as lows overnight and highs tomorrow. 60 one half moon bay 69 here in san francisco right around the bay shoreline mainly mid 70s 74 to about 76 degrees. and in our inland areas upper 70s to about 80 degrees. and as we skip ahead to the weekend before we do the full accuweather seven day forecast. i just want to show you it's going to be nice and sunny saturday and sunny, mild afternoon conditions, high temperatures on saturday ranging from 64 at the coast to about 78 inland. sunday 66 at the coast to 82 inland. so that's, some pretty nice weather. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. we'll have a little bit of a cool down on friday as a weak frontal system

approaches. it'll bring a few clouds, and there is a possibility of some coastal drizzle early in the morning on friday and saturday. but we're not talking about measurable rainfall, certainly not any widespread rainfall. but then going into the weekend, gloriously sunny and mild to warm weather, high temperatures up near 80 inland. slight dip in temperatures going into early next week, but the skies remain mostly clear and sunny and, rain free going into the middle of next week. so even with the drop in temperatures, we're not expecting expecting drops of rain. >> okay, you know, this time of year i like my rainfall unmeasurable. you may exactly. >> as opposed to immeasurable right? >> right. thanks. okay. >> the best city parks in the nation were ranked, and san francisco's golden gate park made the cut. this list was dominated by experts and voted on by readers of usa today. our iconic golden gate park is number two. it's beloved for its trails, museums, gardens, athletic fields, floating, a boating lake, and of course, the bison paddock. a riverfront park

even before it got to broadway and won a tony once it opened. it's based on a frustrated writer working as a lion king usher while writing a musical about being a lion king. usher, abc7 news anchor reggie aqui spoke with the creator about his circle of strife, a strange loop is a show about a black queer man writing a musical about a black queer man writing a musical about a black queer man

writing a musical. >> it's making its west coast debut here at act in san francisco. we're about to meet the man who wrote this show and the man who plays its lead, usher, who's stuck in a strange loop journey. >> jesus name. the play who is usher. >> usher is a young, fat, black, gay musical theater writer who is an usher at the lion king, and he's sort of cycling through his own sort of self perceptions, and his thoughts sort of take form around him. >> show me how to pray while i did draw from personal experience to write the show, it's not autobiographical, not exactly. >> it's emotionally autobiographical. i felt everything that usher has felt. maybe you don't know how to pray so when you're an usher at the lion king, what was or wasn't going through your head standing at the back of that audience? so

one day i was on the mezzanine level of the theater, and we had just let patrons come in, and it's sort of an older woman had come in and she'd gone down to her seat and like row aa and i was standing in aisle four, and then she sort of turned around. she was looking for a booster cushion, and she goes, usher, usher and i like clocked that. and that sort of became the motif of the opening number. of, of the you keep your knees bent. >> my name is malachi macaskill, and i'll be playing usher in a strange loop. >> you are still in college. >> i'm still in college. i'm a junior at the university of north carolina at greensboro. but coming into this role is kind of surreal because i get a glimpse of the deepest and darkest part of my life, and i get to put it on the stage and do it honestly, which is amazing. >> i need you to tell me how you got this role. how did you audition? >> i never stay off my phone. so i was on instagram and i saw the telsey office was having a countrywide casting call for usher. i sent in my materials

and i went to the callback in new york, and then, boom! i am here in san francisco. >> you're going through rehearsals right now here in san francisco at act. can you describe that process for me? >> it's very rigorous. we have very long days, but honestly, the rehearsal room is so relaxed and chill. everybody makes everybody feel comfortable. we have great communication. our director, stephen brackett, makes everyone feel comfortable and if we need to take a step back, we absolutely will because this is a very heavy show. >> two, three and four. maybe you don't know, maybe you don't know. >> what is it that you want them to walk away from that theater thinking about? >> same thing i told audiences since we began doing the show is i want them to walk away thinking about themselves. everybody has their own strange loop and they're hopefully will see their own strange loop refracted through usher. people can say all kinds of things about you externally in the world, but sometimes the worst

person is inside. that's like, no one can really hurt me. it's more than i can hurt myself. you have more power than you think. it's just about how you use that power. >> a strange loop is playing at the act in san francisco until may 12th. for more information, just go to acts eff.org and that's going to do it for abc seven news at four. abc seven news at five is coming up next.
