THANK YOU!

>>> GOOD EVENING, IT IS TUESDAY, MAY 31st.

I AM MAYA TRABULSI.

WE ARE SEEING SAN DIEGO POLICE VIDEO OF A SHOOTING KEPT UNDER WRAPS FOR TWO YEARS.

STATE LAW SAYS DEPARTMENTS MUST THE SHOOTING VIDEOS WITHIN 45 DAYS, EXCEPT UNDER THE NARROW LIST OF CIRCUMSTANCES.

KPBS INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER CLAIRE TRAGESER WITH MORE, AND A WARNING, THE STORY CONTAINS GRAPHIC IMAGES AND SOUNDS.

>> I DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE GOING TO JUMP OUT.

>> Reporter: JUST BEFORE 10:00 P.M. ON MAY 23rd, 2020, PEOPLE BEGAN CALLING 911.

26-YEAR-OLD ROSA CALVERT WAS HAVING A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS ON THE FOURTH FLOOR OF AN EAST VILLAGE APARTMENT.

SHE WAS BREAKING GLASS AND FLOAT THROWING THINGS ONTO THE STREET.

>> STOP THROWING GLASS.

>> Reporter: POLICE RESPONDED, GOT A KEY TO HER APARTMENT, AND WENT INSIDE.

ARMED WITH A STEAK KNIFE, THE WOMAN BARRICADED HERSELF IN THE BATHROOM.

POLICE USED A SLEDGEHAMMER TO BREAK A HOLE IN THE BATHROOM DOOR.

THEY SHOT PEPPER BALLS AND USED A POLICE DOG TO TRY TO GET HER OUT.

THEN, THEY BROKE DOWN THE BATHROOM DOOR.

OFFICER RELIEVES SAID HE THOUGHT HE SAW HER SWING HER KNIFE AND ANOTHER OFFICER AND SHOT HER.

IT TURNED OUT, HE WAS WRONG, ACCORDING TO THE POLICE INTERNAL AFFAIRS REPORT.

THAT REPORT, ALONG WITH VIDEO AND AUDIO FROM THE INCIDENT, SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE PUBLIC LONG AGO, UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW.

THEY WERE NOT.

THE LEGAL DIRECTOR OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT COALITION SPEAKS.

>> THE POINT OF CALIFORNIA'S TRANSPARENCY LAWS IS TO GIVE THE PRESS AND PUBLIC THE RIGHT TO DECIDE FOR THEMSELVES AND NOT TO DEPEND ONLY ON THE POLICE DEPARTMENTS EXPLANATION OF WHY THEY DID WHAT THEY DID.

>> Reporter: POLICE INITIALLY SET THE RECORD SHOULD NOT BE RELEASED BECAUSE THERE WAS AN ACTIVE INVESTIGATION AND THE WOMAN, WHO SURVIVED, WAS BEING CHARGED.

TWO YEARS LATER, THE FIRST AMENDMENT COALITION SAID THE THEY SENT A LETTER DEMANDING IT BE RELEASED.

THE DEPARTMENT RELENTED.

>> I HOPE THE CITY AND POLICE DEPARTMENT WILL TAKE THE LESSON FROM THIS CASE, THEY ARE SUBJECT TO CALIFORNIA PUBLIC LAWS THE SAME AS ANY OTHER AGENCY.

>> Reporter: IN A STATEMENT, A SAN DIEGO POLICE SPOKESMAN SAID THE DEPARTMENT RELEASES OR WITHHOLDS ALL RECORDS IN COMPLIANCE WITH CURRENT LAWS AND MANDATES.

THE OFFICER WHO SHOT TO THE WOMAN HAS ALSO FIRED ON SUSPECTS THREE OTHER TIMES, ACCORDING TO POLICE RECORDS.

HE WAS CLEARED OF THOSE SHOOTINGS, BY THE D.A., AS WELL AS FOR SHOOTING IN THIS CASE.

THE POLICE STATEMENT SAID WHILE THE SHOOTING WAS JUSTIFIED, THE DEPARTMENT CONTINUES TO REVIEW THE TACTICS AND ACTIONS OF THE OFFICER TO DETERMINE IF THEY ARE GOING TO PROVIDE TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES GOING FORWARD.

THE FIRST OF EMMETT COALITION SAYS THE SHOOTING DOES NOT SEEM TO REPRESENT THE ESCALATION TACTICS.

>> THE QUESTION THAT THE PUBLIC HAS A RIGHT TO KNOW, IS WHY DIDN'T THE OFFICERS SLOW DOWN, TAKE THEIR TIME, CALL CRISIS NEGOTIATORS, AND DE-ESCALATE THE SITUATION INSTEAD OF AGGRAVATING IT?

THEY BROUGHT IN POLICE DOGS.

THEY FIRED PEPPER BALLS.

THEY BROKE OPEN THE BATHROOM DOOR.

THOSE DO NOT SEEM LIKE ACTIONS CALCULATED TO DE-ESCALATE THE SITUATION, TO CALM A PERSON WHO IS CLEARLY EXPERIENCING A SIGNIFICANT MENTAL HEALTH EPISODE POINT >> Reporter: I HOPE THIS CASE WILL SET A PRECEDENT GOING FORWARD, SO OTHER RECORDS WILL BE PROMPTLY RELEASED.

CLAIRE TRAGESER, KPBS NEWS.

>>> HOMELESSNESS IS A MAJOR CRISIS PLAGUING THE COUNTRY, RIGHT NOW.

A NEW BILL BY CALIFORNIA SENATOR ALEX PADILLA SEEKS TO CHANGE THAT.

HE WAS IN SAN DIEGO TOURING AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMUNITY THAT COULD BE A MODEL TO GET PEOPLE INTO HOUSING.

KPBS REPORTER ALEXANDER NGUYEN WAS THERE AND BRINGS US THE STORY.

>> Reporter: A YEAR AGO, MANY PEOPLE CALLED THIS HOME.

THEY SAY WHILE LIVING ON THE STREET, HE SPIRALED INTO A DARK PATH THAT LANDED HIM IN JAIL.

THAT WAS THE WAKE UP CALL HE NEEDED.

>> THROUGH FINDING THE SOURCE OF MY PROBLEM, MY ADDICTION, I GOT HELP.

WITH THAT, I WAS BLESSED WITH THIS BEAUTIFUL HOME.

>> Reporter: HE IS ONE OF 500 RESIDENTS AT SAINT TERESA OF CALCUTTA VILLA.

THIS IS AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMUNITY IN DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO.

THE LATEST EFFORT IS TO GET PEOPLE INTO THEIR OWN HOMES.

SUCCESS STORIES ARE WHAT BROUGHT CALIFORNIA SENATOR ALEX PADILLA TO SAN DIEGO, TODAY.

HE HAS INTRODUCED A BILL CALLED HOUSING FOR ALL, TO GET FEDERAL FUNDING FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

>> THIS IS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WITH A VISION TO END HOMELESSNESS AND SECURE AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR ALL ACROSS AMERICA.

IT IS A PLAN THAT WORKS FROM THE BOTTOM UP.

>> Reporter: HE WAS JOINED BY CONGRESSMAN SCOTT PETERS AND SAN DIEGO MAYOR, TODD GLORIA.

THEY SAY HOMELESSNESS IS A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH AT THE LOCAL AND FEDERAL LEVELS.

>> THIS IS THE KIND OF BIG ACTION WE NEED FROM OUR LEADERS IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

THIS IS NOT A SAN DIEGO ISSUE, A CALIFORNIA ISSUE.

THIS IS A NATIONAL ISSUE.

>> Reporter: HOUSING FOR ALL BILL AIMS TO ENCOURAGE MORE SUCCESSFUL PROGRAMS LIKE THIS.

IT CALLS FOR FUNDING TO GET HOMELESS VETERANS OFF THE STREETS.

THE BILL HAS A LONG WAY TO GO TO BECOMING A LAW, BUT THE SENATOR SAYS ELEMENTS OF IT ARE IN PRESIDENT BIDEN'S POST LAWS.

>> THERE ARE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES.

THE PRESIDENT'S PROPOSED BUDGET CALLS FOR $50 BILLION.

>> Reporter: ALEXANDER NGUYEN, KPBS NEWS.

>>> AS AMERICANS FACE HIGHER GAS, FOOD, AND HOUSING PRICES, PRESIDENT BIDEN IS TACKLING INFLATION CRISIS.

ISABELLA ROSALES EXPLAINED THAT THE ADMINISTRATION IS LOOKING FOR WAYS TO BRING PRICES DOWN.

>> Reporter: INFLATION IS SOARING.

GAS IS HITTING RECORD HIGHS.

AMERICANS ARE PAYING ON AVERAGE, $4.62 A GALLON.

MILK IS $4.01 A GALLON.

THE CLIMBING PRICES ARE DEALING A PAINFUL BLOW TO THE WALLET.

>> THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO JUDGE OUR ADMINISTRATION.

THE PRESIDENT SAYS IT'S HIS TOP DOMESTIC PRIORITY, HE MEANS IT.

WE HAVE TO SHOW THAT TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

>> Reporter: PRESIDENT BIDEN IS ZEROING IN ON THE CRISIS.

FEDERAL RESERVE CHAIRMAN JEROME POWELL AND TREASURY SECRETARY JANET YELLEN ARE JOINING THE PRESIDENT IN AN OVAL OFFICE SIT DOWN.

>> WE HAVE TWO RESPONSIBILITIES.

FULL EMPLOYMENT AND STABLE PRICES.

WE HAVE NOTED, AT THIS MOMENT, AND THEY HAVE A LASER FOCUS ON ADDRESSING INFLATION.

>> Reporter: AMERICANS HAVE SLAMMED THE FED FOR ACTING TOO SLOWLY.

IN AN EFFORT TO COOL THE ECONOMY AND DRIVE INFLATION DOWN, THE CENTRAL BANK IS SIGNALING FURTHER AGGRESSIVE WEEK RATE HEIGHTS WILL COME.

CRITICS WORRY IT WILL NOT BE ENOUGH.

ECONOMIC INDICATORS ARE TRYING HOPE THAT INFLATION MAY HAVE PEAKED AT A 40 YEAR HIGH IN MARCH.

ECONOMISTS SWORN IT COULD TAKE TIME BEFORE INFLATION TURNS AROUND.

IN WASHINGTON, ISABELLA ROSALES, KPBS NEWS.

>>> IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE WE WILL SEE RELIEF FROM HIGH GAS PRICES ANYTIME SOON.

SAN DIEGO HAS SET A NEW RECORD FOR THE FOURTH DAY IN A ROW.

THE AVERAGE PRICE FOR A GALLON OF REGULAR GAS IS NOW SIX DOLLARS AND EIGHT CENTS.

THAT IS $.30 MORE THAN WE WERE PAYING A MONTH AGO, AND A DOLLAR AND $.89 MORE THAN THE AVERAGE A YEAR AGO.

>>> BISHOP RORY McILROY IS SPEAKING PUBLICLY ABOUT HIS SELECTION TO BE ONE OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS NEXT CARDINALS.

KITTY ALVARADO WITH HIS THOUGHTS AND WHAT THIS MEANS FOR A LOCAL CATHOLIC FAITH FALL.

>> Reporter: BISHOP McELROY WAS FAST ASLEEP WHEN THE NEWS THAT POPE FRANCIS SELECTED HIM TO BE ONE OF THE 21 NEW CARDINALS OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH.

HE WAS AWAKENED BY CALLS, TEXT, AND EMAILS, CONGRATULATING HIM.

>> I THOUGHT, CONGRATULATIONS ON WHAT?

>> Reporter: HE SAID HE HAD NOT THOUGHT THIS WAS POSSIBLE.

>> I SAID SEVERAL PRAYERS.

I WAS STUNNED.

I WAS SHOCKED.

>> Reporter: HE SAYS HE IS HUMBLED AND DEEPLY HONORED TO BE CHOSEN AND IS ESPECIALLY HAPPY THAT HE CAN REMAIN IN SAN DIEGO.

HE SHARED WHY HE BELIEVES HE WAS SELECTED.

>> I BELIEVE THE POPE WANTED TO HAVE A CARDINAL ON THE WEST COAST.

THERE IS NO CARDINAL, NOW, WEST OF HOUSTON.

THERE WAS A DESIRE TO HAVE A CARDINAL ON THE WEST COAST.

THAT WAS PART OF IT.

AS YOU KNOW, THIS POPE IS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MIGRANTS AND REFUGEES.

WE ARE A DIOCESE ON THE BORDER.

WE FACE ALL OF THESE ISSUES AND WE HAVE A LARGE IMMIGRANT POPULATION, HERE, PARTICULARLY WITHIN THE CATHOLIC COMMUNITY.

>> Reporter: DON McLAUGHLIN IS CONSIDERED MODERATE, AND NOT LIKED BY THE ULTRACONSERVATIVE WING OF THE CHURCH.

FOR DECADES, HE HAS BEEN VOCAL AGAINST PRIEST BANNING POLITICIANS WHO ARE PRO-CHOICE FROM RECEIVING COMMUNION.

>> IT IS DESTRUCTIVE, IN MY VIEW, TO PROHIBIT POLITICAL LEADERS FROM RECEIVING COMMUNION.

PARTLY, IT DIMINISHES THE EUCHARIST, IN MY VIEW.

IT CONTRIBUTES TOWARD THE WEAPONIZATION OF THE EUCHARIST.

EVEN MORE SO, IT CONTRIBUTES TOWARD THE INCREASED PARTISANSHIP WITHIN OUR SOCIETY.

>> Reporter: HE WILL BE IN THE COLLEGE OF CARDINALS WHO GIVE COUNSEL TO THE POPE AND SELECT THE NEXT LEADER OF THE CHURCH.

THAT IS WHY MANY FAITHFUL, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO KNOW HIM, SAY THAT THIS SELECTION IS SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE.

>> I'M EXCITED FOR HIM AND THE PEOPLE IN THE DIOCESE OF SAN DIEGO.

>> Reporter: HE IS THE VICE PRESIDENT OF MISSION INTEGRATION AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SAN DIEGO.

HE SAYS DON McLAUGHLIN IS KNOWN FOR KINDNESS, INCLUSIVITY, AND VAST KNOWLEDGE OF HISTORY.

HE SAYS THE SELECTION SAYS A LOT ABOUT HIS LEADERSHIP AND THE DIOCESE HE LEADS.

>> IT REPRESENTS A RECOGNITION THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF REALLY GOOD THINGS HAPPENING IN SAN DIEGO.

THINGS THAT ARE SO GOOD AND SO HIGH-QUALITY THAT POPE FRANCIS IS SAYING THAT OUGHT TO BE EMULATED BY OTHER PLACES AROUND THE WORLD.

>> Reporter: DON McLAUGHLIN IS THE ONLY AMERICAN SELECTED OUT OF THE 21 WHO WILL BE INSTALLED BY THE POPE AT THE VATICAN ON AUGUST 27th.

HIS MESSAGE TO THE FAITHFUL?

>> THERE IS ONE THING THAT I HOPE FOR THE COMMUNITY.

GOD'S LOVE IS OVERWHELMING AND WITHOUT RESERVE.

IT NEVER DESSERTS THEM.

>>> THE HEART-WRENCHING PROCESS OF BURYING THE 19 CHILDREN AND TWO TEACHERS KILLED LAST WEEK BEGAN TODAY IN UVALDE, TEXAS.

INSTEAD OF PREPARING FOR SUMMER BREAK, THESE CHILDREN WERE LAID TO REST, JUST 10 YEARS OLD.

FUNERALS, VISITATIONS, AND BURIALS WILL CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT 2 1/2 WEEKS AS FRIENDS AND FAMILY SAY GOODBYE.

FUNERALS ARE PLANNED FOR 11 OF THE CHILDREN WHO WERE KILLED AT ROBB ELEMENTARY ON MAY 24th, AS WELL AS ONE OF THE TEACHERS.

AS UVALDE GREAVES, A NONPROFIT IS DELIVERING THERAPEUTIC TEDDY BEARS TO HELP WITH THE TRAUMA AND THE LOSS.

KPBS REPORTER TONYA THORNE HAS THE STORY.

>> Reporter: WE CAUGHT MARCELLA JOHNSON AS SHE WAS ABOUT TO BOARD A PLANE, TO TEXAS.

>> WE ARE TAKING THESE TO GO TO THE CIVIC CENTER, WHERE THEY HAVE A RESCUE AND HELP SET UP.

WE ARE GOING TO HAND OUT THESE THERE.

>> Reporter: SHE IS THE FOUNDER OF THE COMFORT CUB, THAT PROVIDES THERAPEUTIC TEDDY BEARS TO ANYONE EXPERIENCING A BROKEN HEART AS IT IS A RESULT OF THE LOSS OR TRAUMA.

VOLUNTEERS PACKED 900 THERAPEUTIC TEDDY BEARS FOR THE COMMUNITY OF UVALDE.

>> WE HAVE ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE IN THE SCHOOL AND THE STAFF.

ADDITIONALLY, WE DECIDED THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE HURTING IN THE COMMUNITY SO WE ARE DONATING ANOTHER 300.

>> Reporter: SHE STARTED THIS COMPANY AFTER LOSING HER NEWBORN SON.

THE WEIGHTED TEDDY BEAR BROUGHT HER COMFORT.

>> WE CREATED THE COMFORT CUB TO HELP HEAL A BROKEN HEART.

WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, NOT JUST METAPHORICALLY, BUT PHYSICALLY.

THE BROKEN HEART I GOT, FROM LOSING A CHILD.

>> Reporter: SHE HOPES THE TEDDY BEARS WILL MEND THE BROKEN HEART OF THE COMMUNITY IN UVALDE.

JOHNSON SAYS THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME SHE IS DONATED COMFORT COMES TO FAMILIES OF MASS SHOOTING VICTIMS.

THIS DONATION IS THE LARGEST.

>> WE ARE DOING IT WITH THE HOPE WE WILL GET ENOUGH DONATIONS TO COVER OUR COST.

EACH IS $50 APIECE AND WE ARE SENDING 1000 OF THEM.

THAT IS A $50,000 INVESTMENT FROM OUR NONPROFIT.

IF THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT WOULD LIKE TO HELP IN SOME WAY, AND I KNOW EVERYONE WANTS TO IF THEY CAN, IF THEY WANT TO ADOPT A TEDDY BEAR TO SEND TO A CHILD IN UVALDE, ANY PORTION OF $50 WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

>> Reporter: TEXT GAVE TO THE NUMBER ON YOUR SCREEN.

TONYA THORNE, KPBS NEWS.

>>> COVID NUMBERS SHOW 904 NEW CASES.

COMPARE THAT TO 1900 JUST FIVE DAYS AGO.

NATIONWIDE, NEW COVID CASES ARE FIVE TIMES HIGHER THAN LAST MEMORIAL DAY.

U.S. OFFICIALS REPORT AN AVERAGE OF ALMOST 107,000 CASES A DAY AND EXPERT BELIEVE THAT WOULD BE HIGHER WITH AT-HOME TEST BEING MORE COMMON AND POSITIVE CASES NOT REPORTED.

HOSPITALIZATIONS ARE SLIGHTLY LOWER, AS WELL AS DEATH, FROM A YEAR AGO.

>>> AS IF THE COSTS OF LIVING IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY IS NOT ENOUGH, A PROPOSED HIKE IN OUR WATER RATES COULD MAKE THINGS TOUGHER.

AN EXAMPLE OF THE HARDSHIP INVOLVED IS A GROUP OF 192 HOMEOWNERS AT THE LAKES AT CARMEL DELMAR.

THE CONDO COMPLEX HAS FIVE LAKES AND LOTS OF GRASS AND PLANTS AND THAT IS PROVING MORE COSTLY.

AN ALTERNATIVE IS TO RE- LANDSCAPE, AT A HEFTY PRICE, BUT NOT EVERYONE LIKES THE IDEA.

>> IT IS A HUGE SELLING POINT.

PEOPLE COME IN TO SEE UNITS OFF THE STREET AND WALK IN AND THAT IS OFTEN ONE OF THE BIG DRIVING FACTORS OF PURCHASE.

>> GALBRAITH SAYS HLA FEES HAVE GONE UP TO $425 A MONTH, LARGELY BECAUSE WATER BILLS KEEP RISING.

JANUARY 1st, THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY WATER AUTHORITY IS PROPOSING TO INCREASE RATES BY 5.2% FOR TREATED WATER, WHICH IS VIRTUALLY WHAT ALL SAN DIEGO'S HAVE.

THE WATER AUTHORITIES BOARD WILL VOTE ON THE RATES ON JUNE 23rd.

>>> HURRICANE AGATHA IS MAKING HISTORY.

IT IS CONSIDERED THE STRONGEST RECORDED HURRICANE TO HIT LANDFALL DURING THE HURRICANE SEASON OF THE EASTERN PACIFIC.

IT CAME ASHORE ON MONDAY, ON A SMALL BEACH TOWN IN OAXACA AS A CATEGORY TWO, WITH 105 MILE PER HOUR WAS WINS.

IT LOST POWER IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING INLAND OVER THE MOUNTAINS.

THE U.S. NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER SAYS IT SHOULD DISSIPATE, TONIGHT, BUT COULD CAUSE FLOODING.

>>> THIS WILL CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS ACROSS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

THERE IS NO RAIN IN THE FORECAST.

IT WILL LIKELY STAY DRY.

TEMPERATURES ARE REMAINING SEASONAL BUT WARM FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.

THEY ARE NOT SIGNIFICANTLY ABOVE AVERAGE.

TOWARDS THE DESERT, IT IS PRETTY WARM.

WE ARE WHERE WE WANT TO BE ALONG THE COAST.

TEMPERATURES FOR TUESDAY NIGHT DROP INTO THE 50s IN OCEANSIDE AND ESCONDIDO.

IT IS AROUND 50 IN RAMONA, WAS SAN DIEGO IN THE LOW 60s.

PREGO SPRINGS IS LOW 70s.

WEDNESDAY IS BRIGHT AND COMFORTABLE, A SICKLY ACROSS THE ENTIRETY OF THE SOUTHWEST.

THE WARMTH DOES CONTINUE, ESPECIALLY INTO CALIFORNIA.

TEMPERATURES ARE GETTING UP INTO THE LOW 70s ALONG THE COAST, FROM OCEANSIDE, SAN DIEGO, TO CHULA VISTA.

EL CAJON IS 83, 87 IN RAMONA.

WE HAVE TRIPLE DIGIT IN BORREGO SPRINGS.

THURSDAY, WE ARE LOOKING AT ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM THAT WILL MOVE INTO THE NORTHWEST.

THAT BRINGS IN COOLER AIR, INTO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.

WE WILL LIKELY SEE BREEZY CONDITIONS ALONG THE COAST, AND IN TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

IT WILL STAY PRETTY DRY AND BRIGHT.

NO COMPLAINTS, THERE.

OFFSHORE FLOWS SHOULD CONTINUE, AS WE HEAD TOWARDS THURSDAY.

NEAR THE COAST, TEMPERATURES LOOK TO STAY IN THE LOW 70s WITH NO REAL CHANGES OVER YOUR FIVE DAY OUTLOOK.

FURTHER INLAND, TEMPERATURES ARE LOW TO MID 80s THROUGH FRIDAY AND WE COULD SEE A DROP OFF FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, BACK TO THE MID-TO-UPPER 70s.

IN THE MOUNTAINS, TEMPERATURES ARE LOW 70s.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY ARE UPPER 60s, WITH FRIDAY DROPPING TO MID 60s.

SATURDAY, WE LIKELY HAVE SOME BREEZY WIND AS THE STORM SYSTEM WORKS ITS WAY INTO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.

IN THE DESERT, TEMPERATURES ARE TRIPLE DIGIT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, LIKELY LASTING THROUGH FRIDAY, WITH A DROP INTO THE 90s ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

I AM JESSICA PASSED.

>>> MAYOR TODD GLORIA WAS ELECTED ON A PROMISE OF DRASTICALLY REDUCING EMISSIONS THROUGH BIG IMPROVEMENTS TO BIKING AND PUBLIC TRANSIT INFRASTRUCTURE.

BY 2035, HE WANTS HALF OF ALL TRIPS IN THE CITY TO BE MADE WITHOUT A CAR.

METRO REPORTER ANDREW BOWEN SAYS THOSE GOALS ARE BEING PUT TO THE TEST IN BALBOA PARK.

>> IF I HAD TO DIAGNOSE THE BIGGEST PROBLEM OUR CITY FACES, IT IS THAT WE ARE A BIG CITY AND WE TOO OFTEN ACT LIKE A SMALL TOWN.

>> Reporter: THAT IS MAYOR GLORIA SPEAKING IN 2019.

A BIG PART OF HIS CAMPAIGN WAS MAKING THE CITY LESS DEPENDENT ON CARS.

THE CITY'S LARGEST SOURCE OF GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS.

>> I WROTE THE CLIMATE ACTION AND I WANT TO BE THE GUY THAT IMPLEMENTS THE CLIMATE ACTION PLAN.

>> Reporter: HOW FAR IS HE WILLING TO GO FOR THAT GOAL?

PART OF THE ANSWER COULD BE ON PARK BOULEVARD IN BALBOA PARK, WHERE THE CITY IS PREPARING TO REPLACE AN UNDERGROUND WATER MAIN.

AFTER THAT IS DONE AND THE STREET IS RESURFACED, CITY OFFICIALS WANT TO REDESIGN IT.

>> IT WOULD INCREASE SAFETY FOR ALL ROAD USERS.

>> Reporter: EVERETT HAUSER IS A PROGRAM MANAGER IN THE CITY'S TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT.

HE SAYS GIVING A DEDICATED LANE TO PUBLIC TRANSIT ON PARK BOULEVARD WOULD HELP THE BUSES STAY ON TIME.

>> THIS AREA IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE URBAN CORE AND SERVES A LOT OF PEOPLE.

IT IS SOME OF THE HIGHEST USED BUS ROUTES IN THE CITY.

INCREASING THAT EFFICIENCY MAKES TRANSIT USE A MORE ATTRACTIVE OPTION FOR PEOPLE.

>> Reporter: A PROTECTED BIKE LANE WOULD MAKE THE STREET SAFER AND MORE ACCESSIBLE FOR PEOPLE WHO BIKE, ESPECIALLY THE MOST VULNERABLE, CHILDREN, SENIORS, AND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES.

THE CLIMATE ACTION CAMPAIGN NONPROFIT SPEAKS.

ON A SHORT PARK RIDE, IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR THINGS TO FEEL UNSAFE.

A DRIVER IN A SPORTS CAR ZOOMS PAST US, ABOVE THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT.

THAT IS ALREADY 40 MILES PER HOUR.

COLEMAN AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL ADVOCATES WANT THE MAYOR TO ADD BUS AND BIKE LANES TO PARK BOULEVARD.

>> IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR HIM TO STAND UP AND BE THE MODEL FOR THE REGION, TO CREATE SAFE AND EFFICIENT TRANSPORTATION OPPORTUNITIES, FOR PEOPLE TO FEEL LIKE THEY DON'T HAVE TO RELY ON CARS AS MUCH AS THEY DO.

>> Reporter: HERE IS THE CATCH.

TO ADD A BUS AND BIKE LANE, THE STREET WOULD HAVE TO SACRIFICE A LANE FOR CARS AND ON STREET PARKING, WHICH IS 4% OF THE AREAS TOTAL PARKING.

PETER KAMINSKI IS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE BALBOA PARK CULTURAL PARTNERSHIP, REPRESENTING THE PARKS ATTRACTIONS.

HE SAYS REMOVING PARKING TO ADD BUS AND BIKE LANES MAKE THE PARK LESS ACCESSIBLE.

>> MOST VISITORS TO THE PARK, 90% OF PEOPLE COMING TO THE PARK, WOULD BE COMING IN VEHICLES.

THEY ARE OFTEN COMING IN GROUPS, OFTEN FAMILIES.

THOSE FAMILIES ARE NOT ABLE TO USE RIDE-SHARE, THOSE ARE NOT SOLUTIONS FOR THEM.

>> Reporter: THE CITY IS STUDYING OTHER OPTIONS THAT WOULD PRESERVE STREET PARKING , AT THE EXPENSE OF BIKE AND TRANSIT RIDERS.

KAMINSKI SAYS HE DOES NOT LIKE THOSE OPTIONS EITHER.

HE WANTS THE CITY TO FINISH IMMOBILITY AND PARKING MANAGEMENT STUDY FIRST.

>> HISTORICALLY, A LOT OF SOLUTIONS THAT ARE FORCED INTO THE PARK HAVE DONE SO BECAUSE THEY ARE DONE IN A PIECEMEAL AND REACTIVE WAY.

THAT IS INSTEAD OF HAVING A SOLID STRATEGIC APPROACH.

>> Reporter: THE CITY'S MEASUREMENTS SHOW THAT THEY ARE BEHIND ON SWITCHING COMMUTES AWAY FROM CARS.

THE BUS AND BIKE LANES ON PARK BOULEVARD CAN HAPPEN FOR VIRTUALLY NO ADDITIONAL COST TO THE PLACEMENT PROJECT.

HERE IS MAYOR GLORIA, SPEAKING AS A CANDIDATE IN 2019.

>> WE HAVE HAD THESE FIGHTS ABOUT BIKE LANES AND PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS, AND USUALLY THAT IS ABOUT THE ABILITY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH LEADERSHIP.

WE HAVE AN ADOPTED BICYCLE MASTER PLAN THAT IS NOT ALWAYS FAITHFULLY IMPLEMENTED.

WE WILL SUPPORT PUBLIC TRANSIT.

IT IS CRITICAL TO THE FUTURE OF OUR QUALITY OF LIFE.

>> Reporter: WHICH EVER DESIGNED THE MAYOR SELECTS, PARK BOULEVARD IS SET TO BE READY BY DECEMBER.

ANDREW BOWEN, KPBS NEWS.

>>> TONIGHT ON THE NEWS HOUR, A SCHOOL MASSACRE.

QUESTIONS PERSIST ABOUT LAW ENFORCEMENT'S RESPONSE TO THE UVALDE SHOOTING.

COMING UP AT 7:00 AFTER EVENING EDITION ON KPBS.

>>> HERE IS ANOTHER LOOK AT TODAY'S TOP STORIES.

>>> THE POLICE DEPARTMENT RELEASED A SHOOTING VIDEO TWO YEARS AFTER THE INCIDENT.

STATE LAW DEMANDS SUCH VIDEOS BE RELEASED WITHIN 45 DAYS, WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS.

THIS INVOLVES A WOMAN HAVING A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS IN THE EAST VILLAGE.

OFFICERS BROKE HER BATHROOM DOOR AND SHOT HER, BUT SHE SURVIVED.

PLEASE ARGUED THAT VIDEO OF THE SHOOTING COULD NOT BE RELEASED BECAUSE THE WOMAN WAS IN CHARGE.

THE DEPARTMENT CHANGED COURSE AFTER THE LEGAL DIRECTOR OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT COALITION SENT THEM A LETTER.

>>> SAN DIEGO'S BISHOP ROBERT McELROY SPOKE SINCE THE FIRST TIME SINCE HE WAS ANNOUNCED THAT HE WOULD BE ONE OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS NEXT CARDINALS.

HE SAYS HE IS HUMBLED AND HONORED TO BE CHOSEN AND ESPECIALLY HAPPY THAT HE WILL REMAIN IN SAN DIEGO.
