IN JUNE, THE CITY RESET THE APPLICATION PROCESS FOR THE PROJECT AFTER ISSUES WITH THE SURPLUS LAND ACT.

THE 60 DAY COUNTDOWN FOR THE CITY TO ACCEPT APPLICATIONS STARTED OCTOBER 4th AFTER MEETING CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS.

THE CITY WILL STUDY 90 DAY NEGOTIATING PERIOD WITH ONE OR MORE DEVELOPERS.

>>> EARLIER THIS MONTH, GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM VETOED A BILL THAT WOULD HAVE DECRIMINALIZED JAKE WALKING WHEN NO CARS ARE PRESENT.

THE BILL WAS AIMED AT TACKLING RACIAL DISPARITIES IN HOW JAYWALKING LAWS ARE ENFORCED.

KPBS METRO REPORTER, ANDREW BOWEN LOOKS AT THOSE DISPARITIES IN SAN DIEGO.

>> Reporter: WE HAVE ALL DONE IT.

YOU ARE TRYING TO CROSS THE STREET BUT THE LIGHT IS TAKING FOREVER OR MAYBE THE NEAREST CROSSWALK IS AN ABSURDLY LONG DETOUR.

NO CARS ARE AROUND SO YOU LOOK BOTH WAYS AND JAYWALK.

MOST OF THE TIME, IT'S HARMLESS AND MOST OF THE TIME, GETTING A TICKET FOR JAYWALKING IS NOT A BIG CONCERN.

THAT IS NOT HOW THINGS PLAYED OUT FOR ROBERT DUNN WATER.

>> IT WAS MAY 3rd AND I WAS COMING BACK FROM THE DENTIST.

IT WAS MIDDAY AND I WALKED ACROSS THE STREET HERE.

>> Reporter: HE SAYS HE WAS NOT JAYWALKING BUT WAS IN THE CROSSWALK AND MADE IT TO THE OTHER SIDE OF ROBINSON AVENUE IN HILLCREST BEFORE THE RED HAND SIGNAL WENT FROM FLASHING TO SOLID.

BUT A SAN DIEGO POLICE OFFICER SAYS HE WAS JAYWALKING AND WROTE HIM A TICKET.

SHE TOLD HIM POLICE WORK STEPPING UP JAYWALKING ENFORCEMENT BECAUSE OF A RISE IN PEDESTRIAN COLLISIONS.

>> I DID NOT WANT TO DEBATE BUT I SAID GEE, I HAVEN'T SEEN MUCH OF THAT PARTICULARLY IN THE DAYTIME HERE.

I HAVE SEEN LOTS OF PEOPLE BLATANTLY RUNNING RED LIGHTS AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS.

THAI PEOPLE GREATLY BLATANTLY RUNNING RED LIGHTS WHEN I HAVE THE RIGHT TO CROSS AND I AM VERY CAUTIOUS.

>> Reporter: HE PLANS TO CONTEST HIS TICKET IN A TRIAL NEXT YEAR.

BOGUS OR NOT, HIS JAYWALKING TICKET WAS ONE OF MORE THAN 5000 GIVEN TO PEDESTRIANS IN SAN DIEGO SINCE 2015.

THOSE TICKETS DISPROPORTIONATELY TARGETED BLACK PEOPLE.

16% OF THE TICKETS WENT TO BLACKS EVEN THOUGH THEY MAKE UP ONLY 6% OF THE CITY'S POPULATION.

SIMILAR RACIAL DISPARITIES EXIST IN CITIES ACROSS CALIFORNIA.

>> BLACK PEOPLE ARE DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTED BY ALMOST EVERY TYPE OF MY STATION.

>> AND RIOS IS AN ATTORNEY AND DIRECTOR OF UPRISE THEATER, A NONPROFIT THAT X EDUCATES PEOPLE ON LEGAL RIGHTS.

SHE SAID THE DISPARITIES ARE PROOF OF RACIAL BIAS AMONG SAN DIEGO POLICE OFFICERS.

LIKE PEOPLE ARE ALSO OVERREPRESENTED IN THE HOMELESS COMMUNITY WHICH IS A FREQUENT TARGET OF JAYWALKING TICKETS AND BLACKS ARE MORE LIKELY TO LIVE IN NEIGHBORHOODS THAT LACK SAFE AND ABUNDANT CROSSWALKS.

>> WHEN YOU ARE DEALING WITH A LANDSCAPE THAT DOESN'T HAVE SAFE AREAS FOR YOU TO CROSS THE STREET ANYWAY, JAYWALKING IS GOING TO BECOME ACCEPTABLE OR THE NORM.

THE TRUE ISSUE IS THAT THE COMMUNITY DOESN'T HAVE THE APPROPRIATE SUPPORT FOR PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC.

>> Reporter: RACIAL JUSTICE ACTIVISTS LIKE RIOS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DECRIMINALIZE JAYWALKING IN CALIFORNIA FOR YEARS.

THEY SAY JAYWALKING LAWS ONLY PUNISH BEHAVIOR THAT IS USUALLY LOGICAL AND SAFE.

ADVOCATES FOR SAFER STREETS ARGUE MORE STREETLIGHTS, CROSSWALKS I'M A AND TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES ARE MORE EFFECTIVE AT PROTECTING PEDESTRIANS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS SHOULD CRACKDOWN ON DANGEROUS DRIVING INSTEAD.

THE LATEST ACT OF DECRIMINALIZATION FAILED WITH A VETO OF AV 1238.

THAT BILL WOULD HAVE LEGALIZED JAYWALKING AS LONG AS THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

IT WAS OPPOSED BY LAW- ENFORCEMENT GROUPS WHO SAID IT WOULD ENCOURAGE UNSAFE PEDESTRIAN BEHAVIOR AND THE CALIFORNIA COALITION FOR CHILDREN'S SAFETY AND HEALTH.

HERE IS THE GROUPS PROGRAM DIRECTOR, STEVE BARROW SPEAKING AT A SENATE COMMITTEE HEARING IN JUNE.

>> WHEN YOU HAVE CHILDREN GROWING UP UNDERSTANDING HOW TO APPROPRIATELY GET THROUGH OUR REALLY BUSY STREETS AND THAT IS ADHERING TO RED LIGHTS, CROSSING OF THE CROSSWALKS, NOT JAYWALKING AND PAYING ATTENTION TO ALL THE PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC SAFETY LAWS.

>> Reporter: ROBERT DUNN MOYER WHO IS WHITE AND WORKS AS A UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR ACKNOWLEDGES HE HAS PRIVILEGES THAT OTHERS WHO GET JAYWALKING TICKETS PROBABLY DON'T HAVE.

HE CAN TAKE TIME OFF WORK TO FIGHT HIS TICKET IN COURT.

AND HE KNEW TO LOOK UP THE EXACT CALIFORNIA VEHICLE CODE VIOLATION TO SEE IF IT MATCHES WHAT REALLY HAPPENED.

HE IS AMBIVALENT ABOUT WHETHER JAYWALKING SHOULD BE LEGALIZED.

BUT HE DOESN'T THINK TICKETS AND FINES ARE AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO PROTECT PEDESTRIANS.

>> I WONDER, WERE THEY TRYING TO BEEF UP REVENUE?

I'M NOT ACCUSING BECAUSE I DON'T REALLY KNOW BUT IT WAS CERTAINLY THE A THOUGHT THAT CROSSED MY MIND PARTICULARLY WHEN I SAW THE AMOUNT OF THE TICKET.

>> THE AMOUNT HE WILL HAVE TO PAY IF HE LOSES IN COURT?

$197.

>>> NEW MODELS UNDERSCORE THE SEVERITY OF THE CLIMATE CRISIS.

THEY SHOW PARTS OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COULD BE UNDERWATER IN THE NEXT CENTURY IF WE DON'T DO SOMETHING NOW.

SARA DONCHEY HAS MORE.

>> Reporter: COULD 50 CITIES AROUND THE WORLD CHANGE OR DISAPPEAR AS A RESULT OF CLIMATE CHANGE?

NONPROFITS AS THEY CAN AND THEY WANT TO SHOW YOU HOW.

>> THEIR ABILITY TO EXIST INTO THE FUTURE DEPENDS ON THE ACTIONS WE TAKE OR MAKE HENCHMEN STRAUSS' NONPROFIT, CLIMATE CENTRAL DID RESEARCH READING STARTLING IMAGES OF LANDMARKS AROUND THE WORLD INCLUDING SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA LIKE LONG BEACH AND HUNTINGTON BEACH.

THE SANTA MONICA HERE.

HERE THE SANTA MONICA PIER MAY LOOK SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

THIS MODEL SHOWS THE SANTA MONICA BOARDWALK UNDERWATER.

PROJECTIONS CLIMATE SCIENTIST SAY COULD COME THROUGH IN THE NEXT FEW CENTURIES OF TEMPERATURES AND SEA LEVEL RISES WITHOUT HUMAN INTERVENTION.

>> IT IS SAID THAT IT COULD DISAPPEAR ONE DAY.

>> Reporter: THE PROJECTIONS RANGE FROM ONE TO 4 DEGREES OF WARMING WITH SEED SYLLABLES LIGHT RISING FOUR FEET.

IN THIS CASE, HIGH TIDES PUSHING TO THE 45 FREEWAY AND MUCH OF HUNTINGTON BEACH UNDERWATER.

>> NEIGHBORHOODS ALL THE WAY OUT TO LOS ALTOS WOULD BE WELL BELOW SEA LEVEL.

COULD BE 10 FEET ALMOST.

>> Reporter: IMAGES LIKE THESE COULD BE THOUSANDS OF YEARS INTO OUR FUTURE.

SCIENTISTS SAY CLIMATE CHANGE IS WREAKING HAVOC ALONG OUR COASTLINE.

>> THIS IS NOT SOMETHING OFF INTO THE FUTURE.

THIS IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.

JOHN DORSEY STUDIES RISING SEA LEVELS AND POINTS OUT IT COULD DRAIN OUR LOCAL ECONOMY AND WE WOULD LOSE INFRASTRUCTURE LIKE WATER LINES, SEWER LINES AND HIGHWAYS.

>> IF WE KOSHER GET COASTAL EROSION, THAT COULD HE RODE IN AND DESTROY THE KIND OF INFRASTRUCTURE.

WE WOULD BE PAYING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TRYING TO MOVE THAT IN.

>> Reporter: SCIENTISTS SAY SOME COULD BE AVOIDED IF WE TAKE MAJOR STEPS IN THE NEXT DECADE.

>>> ANOTHER COOL DAY IN THE FORECAST FOR YOUR TUESDAY.

BEYOND THAT, A WARMING TREND RETURNS FOR THE MIDDLE TO LATER PART OF THE WORK WEEK.

AND THE PERSISTENT ONSHORE FLOW WILL CONTINUE WHICH MEANS LIKELY FOGGY MORNINGS FOR THE COASTAL AREAS.

SUNNY AND BRIGHTER AFTERNOONS SHOULD BE GENERALLY IN THE FORECAST.

FOR TONIGHT, A CHILLING ONE, GETTING DOWN TO THE 30s AND RAMONA, UPPER 40s I'M A 45 IN OCEANSIDE, SAN DIEGO DOWN TO 53.

WRANGELL SPRINGS, 70 FOR YOU AND IN THE MOUNTAINS, STILL RATHER CHILLY AT 54 FOR THAT DAYTIME HIGH.

THE PATTERN RETURNS TO A WARMER , DRY AIR ONE WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE NOTED HERE.

THAT KEEPS THINGS RELATIVELY CALM BUT AT THE SAME TIME, SOME OF THE WILDFIRES BURNING ACROSS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, THIS COULD BE BAD NEWS WITH WARM, DRY CONDITIONS AND TEMPERATURES AGAIN WILL BE ON THE RISE.

NEAR THE COAST, WE GO FROM UPPER 60s ON TUESDAY BACK INTO THE MID-70s BY THURSDAY.

MORE IN THE WAY OF SUNSHINE SO THAT IS GOOD NEWS BUT IT LOOKS LIKE WE COULD COOL OFF AGAIN TOWARD SATURDAY BACK DOWN TO THE 70 DEGREES MARK.

FURTHER INLAND, TEMPERATURES WARMING FROM ABOUT 70 DEGREES TUESDAY BACK INTO THE UPPER 70s THURSDAY AND THAT LOOKS LIKE THE DAY THAT WILL.

PICS MID-70s FRIDAY AND COOLING THINGS OFF WITH MORE CLOUD COVER SATURDAY.
