last night, according to a bart spokesperson, who says that person was not down on the tracks but instead was on the bart platform inside the yellow lines when they were apparently hit. bart says foul play is not suspected. the downtown berkeley station was closed during the investigation, but it has since reopened. >> neighbors in san francisco's mission district are filing a lawsuit against the city. they claim city leaders are failing to stop prostitution and open air drug use near shotwell street. neighbors say they've complained about this issue for years and haven't seen any real action. the city attorney's office released a short statement in response saying, quote, once we are served with the lawsuit, we will review the complaint and respond appropriately. >> i'm not going to go into the specifics. the main point that we're claiming and we're contending is that there are laws on the books. and if anybody had done what the city is doing, they would be in deep trouble.

>> now, the mayor's office and supervisor, hillary ronen unveiled a new plan to address prostitution in the area. the plan calls for new road barrier, cameras, and increased law enforcement. >> time now, 534. all charges have now been dropped against one of the defendants connected to the death of oakland police officer twan lay. 35 year old marquis cooper was initially charged with one count of murder and two counts of commercial burglary. officer lay was shot and killed last december while responding to a burglary at a cannabis dispensary. while three suspects are still facing murder charges, the counts against cooper have been dropped at this point. >> the court at the preliminary hearing found that there was insufficient evidence to tie him to the murder charges, and so he was facing burglary charges. those charges were dismissed today without prejudice, and the investigation of his role and his conduct is continuing. >> now, the district attorney wouldn't comment on whether

cooper struck a deal to cooperate with prosecutors or signed a plea agreement. cooper's attorney told ktvu. quote marquis and his family look forward to having him home soon. now, the three remaining defendants are mark sanders, alan brown and sabran russell. all are facing murder charges. a judge has granted their defense attorneys more time to prepare for a trial. now, in a statement, the oakland police officers association said it's concerned by the decision to drop charges against marquis cooper. the group said, quote, perpetrators of violent crimes must face consequences. otherwise, it sends a dangerous message that undermines public safety and emboldens those who threaten the peace and security of our neighborhoods. our time now. 536. today, lyft launched a new rider verification program to help drivers verify the identities of riders. the pilot program adds a verification

badge to the profiles. it helps drivers confirm that riders getting into their vehicles are who they say they are. now. lyft will verify using their legal names if information can be verified. riders may be asked to upload government id. the pilot program is being tested out in nine major cities outside of the bay area. lyft hasn't said yet when the program will expand to other cities. it is 536. san francisco's ferry building is at near capacity, and other neighborhoods in the city are also seeing some new businesses opening. ktvu is ali rasmus is joining us now with a look at some of the numbers about the vacancies. good morning. ali >> good morning dave. ferry building not open this early, but once it does, as we know, there are thousands of people who come through its doors every day. an estimated 16,000 people walking through the ferry

oil. >> it's very difficult because we have such high standards for our bricks. you know, they have to be safe for kids to play with. they have to be durable. so the bricks that were made 60 years ago can still fit the bricks that we are making today. and many more quality requirements. so it has been quite difficult to find the right mix and to make this happen. >> now the goal is to gradually bring down the oil content in its bricks by paying more for certified renewable resin. lego production costs will rise. that will likely make the new toys more expensive to make, but the company says it is worth it. >> all right, our time is 5.48. it's always worth it to check in with sal castaneda just to know what's happening out there on the roads. everybody behaving for you, sal. >> yeah, i think so. things are somewhat well behaved. let's go right to the bay bridge to show you the triple a traffic camera. here it is, 548, and we don't

it's uncomfortable. it's the furthest thing from a documentary about riots and looting. it's just very proud to be a part of something with so much diversity. i thought it was a very interesting conduit to have a heist at the center of this and what that would be like. >> and i know it was really important to tyrese because tyrese was around during it, and it was an important moment for him. >> 1992 hits theaters tomorrow. >> our time is now 556. the oakland a's are going to go for a series sweep today in cincinnati. the a's have been on a roll over the past month, with the second best record in the american league since mid-july. yesterday, the a's took the lead early with three solo home runs during six innings. the reds battled back at home, though. eighth inning cincinnati leading 6 to 5. oakland with two on and no. one out. seth brown went

like the momentum is at my back with the a's coming here, but at the same time, i think, this environment and this location in itself is great in itself, with and without the a's. now, other developments are also coming to riverfront streets, such as a seven story building with townhomes, apartments and room for retail and restaurants. >> and a's fans are making one last request before the team's final baseball game in oakland. dozens of a's fans sent a letter to the owners asking for the mount davis section in the coliseum to be open for the home game. mount davis is a part of the coliseum that sits more than 20,000 people. it hasn't been used for baseball games in almost 20 years. tickets to the final game are already sold out, but a's fans say this is one last chance for the owners to show appreciation to those who've supported the team all these years. they say they're willing to do whatever it takes

to get it open, including volunteering on their own time to clean it up. the a's have not responded yet. that final game, september 26th golden gate fields, will auction off hundreds of items as the berkeley racetrack shuts down. >> the three day auction will take place september 10th through the 12th. there will be 2600 items up for bid from commercial kitchen equipment, hundreds of tvs, horse training gear, stadium seating. there will also be memorabilia and collectibles up for auction. >> it's scary. it's, it's, it's enraging, but it's also not something that comes as too much of a surprise. >> parents in the oakland unified school district speaking out, showing frustration about high levels of lead found in the drinking water. what the oakland superintendent is promising, as she publicly addressed this issue for the first time and a nationwide search wrapping up in contra costa county, the new

have a plan. the delayed the school superintendent apologized for the delay and called it a failure on multiple levels, delayed communication of the lead test results was completely unacceptable. >> i sincerely apologize for the stress and concern this has caused our school sites, students and families. we understand the gravity of this situation. we are taking full accountability, including a full personnel investigation for these shortcomings, and are determined to ensure that such failures do not occur in the future. >> the district blaming aging infrastructure for the lead contamination. it will cost more than $38 million to fix and replace the old pipes. officials the money, but hopes for funding from the state and federal governments. oakland unified facing a $56 million deficit next year, which could jump three times that amount in the following year. pam.

impacts our life, family structures and the way we talk to our kids can impact their behavior in the future as well. a new study takes a look at

co-parenting and child development. joining us this morning is professor sarah schoppe-sullivan, who directs the children and parents lab at ohio state university. thank you so much for joining us. >> you're welcome. >> so co-parenting really an important term right now, right? there are so many multi-generations helping raise kids, single parents, blended families, so many configurations of families. so how does co-parenting, good, bad, challenging play a role in the child's behavior now and in the future? >> yeah, sure. so, co-parenting, you know, can involve, as you point out, parents who are, you know, married or living together and both the biological parents of the child, but it's not limited to that. i mean, basically, the principal key principle behind co-parenting is that most children are parented by more than one adult at any given time in their lives. right? and so how those individuals are able to coordinate their parenting roles, you know, what sorts of, tasks or jobs they do with

respect to parenting and kind of stay on the same page and be more cooperative versus getting into a lot of parenting conflicts. we know that that is important for, having children with fewer behavior problems, fewer emotional problems, both when they're young and into the future. studies that follow kids over time show that co-parenting when the two, you know, parents are present and together is hard enough as a challenge. >> do you have any advice for parents who are dealing with two households, you know, and they're they're truly co-parenting in a split relationship, and the kids are going back and forth? >> yeah, i think, you know, the best thing you can do is try to, you know, set aside differences, personal differences that you have and try to keep open lines of communication. i would say about, what how you want to raise those children together. it doesn't mean that you always

have to agree, because that's probably not going to happen, especially in that kind of situation. but you have to be able to resolve those disagreements amicably. and in a mature fashion, you know, so that you can recognize that your child is going to have somewhat different experiences in different households. that's kind of impossible to avoid, but that if there are conflicts that come up that you're able to resolve those without, you know, getting really hostile or involving the children in them directly, i would imagine there's some benefits to with going to different households or, you know, having the grandparents stay involved or other family members. >> what are some of the benefits of maybe these kids experiencing different parenting styles? >> yeah, i think that's a good point. and one we often don't think about, i think that children from a very young age, they learn that, you know, different people, they have different relationships with different people. you know, their relationships with, say, even like mothers and fathers are not identical. and they quickly figure out, like, you

know, how this person expects me to behave, how they expect our relationship to go. and so i think it's perfectly, you know, fine. and even potentially beneficial, you know, if they have a different experience at their different roles at, you know, grandma's house or different roles at, you know, an aunt's house or dad's house or something like that to a certain extent. like it helps them navigate that and figure that out because they're not going to be living in one environment their entire lives. right? they're going to have to be able to adapt and adjust. and so as long as those are all within reason and all of these parties, you know, have the child's, you know, best interests at heart, i think that can be a beneficial experience for children. >> and maybe before you go, some advice for when kids, their behavior is impacted. they're they're not adjusting well to the different households or parenting styles. what what's some advice for that? >> i mean, i think that a really great first point is to talk to your pediatrician, you know, make sure that even as life gets chaotic, that you, as it always

does with families and kids, but that you keep up with those regular visits and pediatrician is a great, point, first point of contact or even a school counselor to bring up. hey, something doesn't seem like it's going right, and those individuals can usually provide some good advice and connect parents to resources and give them referrals and things like that. that might be helpful to figure out if it's just a temporary thing, you know, an adjustment to a transition, or if there might be something more, you know, persistent going on there with their with the child. >> it takes a village communication, probably number one. right. >> yeah, absolutely. all right. >> thank you so much, professor sarah schoppe-sullivan, ohio state university. thank you. great, great advice. >> thank you. bye. >> thank you. time now, 646. governor newsom reportedly is considering a special legislative session to debate oil and gas regulations. the governor's office confirms the governor wants lawmakers to revisit a bill to address regulating gasoline prices.

earlier this month, the governor proposed legislation to require refiners to keep a minimum amount of fuel on reserve to avoid any supply shortages and higher prices. the governor's office said that a special legislative session won't be needed if lawmakers in the next few days take up the issue of tighter regulation on the oil and gas industry. the end of the current regular legislative session is this week. well, today lyft has launched a new rider verification program to help drivers verify the identities of riders. the pilot program adds a verification badge to profiles to help the drivers confirm that the riders getting into their vehicles are who they say they are. now. lyft will verify using the legal names and if information can be verified, riders may be asked to upload government id. the pilot program is being tested out in nine major cities outside of the

>> our time now. 649 later today, the oakland a's will go for a series sweep in cincinnati. the a's have been on a roll over the past month, with the second best record in the american league since mid-july. yesterday, the a's took the lead early. they had three solo home runs through six innings, but the reds battled back at home, though in the eighth inning, cincinnati was leading 6 to 5. oakland with two on and no one out. seth brown went deep, hit a three run homer and the a's won 9 to 6. now the giants are on the road in milwaukee in the second inning. a brewers fan made a tremendous catch right there. sign him up. he gets a lot of love from the other fans around him. the game was scoreless through five innings. then the giants gave up five runs in the fifth. they went on to score a run in the seventh and then two in the eighth. and they threatened to comeback. but those brewers hung on and they won the game 5 to 3. they will

play a series tiebreaker later today. >> time is 650. and right now we do have slowing around the bay area. let's start off with the east bay. i want to show you that 680 and highway four. highway four does have an issue now. westbound highway four coming up on the willow pass. grade so now we have some slow traffic. they're going to try and get a camera focused on it in just a bit. but right now i also want to take a look at the bay bridge that is backed up from the maze, and the traffic is slow all the way across the bridge into san francisco. if you're thinking about using the san mateo bridge, that bridge looks a little bit better to the peninsula. 651 let's talk about today's weather. and here's roberta. >> thanks, sal. we're taking a look at the estuary this morning where we have a gray slate. the cloud deck, roughly about 1300 feet. we're looking out towards the water, where the temperature right now is 56 degrees. the estuary basically separates oakland from alameda. and on the western end you have san

just off the coast of half moon bay. the clouds do pretty much hang out at the coast all day long. we'll call it partly cloudy at moss beach and montara beach. otherwise, lots of clarity around the bay until later on tonight when we see the intrusion of that marine layer all the way, a good 5055 miles inland towards the tri valley to the north, santa rosa, and to the south all the way into the gilroy area. if you're heading to tahoe this weekend, it's going to be spectacular. 70s and 80s. and meanwhile, your travel forecast for friday for the labor day weekend, we're talking about 96 degrees at the state capitol. oh, gorgeous. in yosemite at 88 degrees 101. in fresno. and if you're heading to san diego, not seeing any kind of a warm up into the 80s until about wednesday. our temperatures today, anywhere from 66 to 93 degrees. 83 fremont, 84 degrees in napa. these temperatures are slightly above normal, but enjoy your thursday. >> all right, roberta, thank you. time now. 653 key political
