I GIVE HER JOINING US, I'M MAYA TRABULSI.

WITHIN 30,000 SCRIPPS HEALTH PATIENT TO HAVE MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLANS NOW HAVE TO GET NEW DOCTORS OR DIFFERENT COVERAGE.

KPBS REPORTER JOHN CARROLL FOUND OUT WHY SCRIPPS SAYS IT WAS FORCED TO CANCEL ITS MEDICARE ADVANTAGE CONTRACTS.

>> HELP PRESIDENT AND CEO CHRIS PENN QUARTER SAYS THERE IS ONE THING TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PROGRAMS.

>> MEDICARE ADVANTAGE IS NOT MEDICARE.

>> SO-CALLED MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLANS ARE ACTUALLY JUST PRIVATE INSURANCE COMPANIES THAT MANAGE HEALTH COVERAGE FOR MEDICARE.

THERE ARE NONPROFIT COMPANIES AND THERE ARE FOR-PROFIT COMPANIES IN THE BUSINESS.

HE SAYS THE COMPANIES DO A GOOD JOB OF SELLING PEOPLE ON PLANS THEY SAY ARE LOW-COST WITH GREAT BENEFITS.

>> NO CO-PAYS, NO DEDUCTIBLES.

TAKE THE PROPHET OUT AND PAY THE REMAINING PART TO THE HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS DOCTORS AND HOSPITALS.

>> BUSINESS IS GREAT FOR A LOT OF COMPANIES OFFERING PLANS.

HE GAVE AN EXAMPLE OF ONE COMPANY.

>> UNITED HEALTHCARE JUST ANNOUNCED A $5.8 BILLION BUT.

>> OTHER PROVIDERS WHO ACCEPT OR HAVE BEEN ACCEPTING MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLANS, THE DOLLARS ARE FLOWING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.

>> WE ARE LOSING MORE THAN $75 MILLION A YEAR AND THAT IS NOT SUSTAINABLE.

>> ONLY MEDICARE IS MEDICARE.

>> ONLY MEDICARE IS MEDICARE.

>> CALIFORNIA'S DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATIVES IN CONGRESS SAY THE ADVANTAGE PLANS ARE SCAMS.

THEY ARE COSPONSORING THE SAVE MEDICARE ACT >> WE WANT TO STOP PRIVATE PLANS FROM CALLING THEMSELVES MEDICARE AND PROTECT ACTUAL MEDICARE.

>> IT'S COVERED FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES BY PROGRAM WITH THE POWER OF REAL MEDICARE.

>> WHAT CAN PATIENTS DO IN THE MEANTIME?

>> CALL YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY TO MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS OR CHANGES THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE.

>> THEY ARE LIMITED BY FEDERAL LAW AND WHAT THEY CAN TELL PATIENTS.

THEY HAVE UNTIL DECEMBER 7 TO MAKE THE CHOICES.

JOHN CARROLL, KPBS NEWS.

>> ISRAELI FORCES ARE AMASSING ON THE GAZA BORDER AHEAD OF A POTENTIAL INVASION.

IT FOLLOWS DAYS OF RETALIATORY STRIKES AND RESPONSE TO A HAMAS TERRORIST ATTACK OVER A WEEK AGO.

SINCE THEN, THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF MILITARY AND CIVILIAN DEATHS ON BOTH SIDES.

THE HORRORS OF THE WAR ARE IGNITING DEMONSTRATIONS STATESIDE AS WELL.

LORI BRINGS US THE LATEST.

>> IT IS HIGH TIME THEY BE BANISHED FROM EXISTENCE.

>> DEFENSE FORCES ARE RESOLUTE IN THEIR OBJECTIVE AS THEY READY FOR A MASSIVE GROUND OPERATION AGAINST HAMAS.

>> YOU KNOW OUR COMMITMENT TO ISRAEL'S RIGHT AND OBLIGATION TO DEFEND ITSELF.

>> ON SEVERAL FRONTS, U.S. OFFICIALS ARE THREADING THE NEEDLE BETWEEN AMERICAN SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL'S DEFENSES AND MINIMIZING PALESTINIAN CIVILIAN CASUALTIES.

>> WE WANT TO SEE THE PEOPLE OF GAZA DETECTED.

>> 1 MILLION PALESTINIANS HAVE FLED FROM NORTHERN GAZA HEATING ISRAEL'S WARNINGS.

UNTIL EGYPT AGREES TO OPEN ITS BORDER THEY WAIT IN SOUTHERN GAZA WITH FOOD, WATER AND MEDICINE DANGEROUSLY SCARCE.

A ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISE SHIP SET SAIL EVACUATING SOME AMERICANS, BUT NOT EVERYONE WANTED TO GO.

>> I THINK WE SHOULD STAY WITH OUR NATION AND FAMILY.

>> IMAGES OF WAR AND HUMAN SUFFERING ARE FEELING WIDESPREAD PROTESTS IN THE U.S. AND NOW A MURDER.

POLICE AND TOWNSHIP ILLINOIS ARRESTED AND CHARGED A 71-YEAR- OLD AND WITH FATALLY STABBING A SIX YEAR OLD PALESTINIAN AMERICAN BOY AND SERIOUSLY WOUNDING HIS MOTHER.

THE VICTIMS WERE THE MAN'S RENTAL TENANTS.

A FEDERAL HATE CRIME INVESTIGATION IS UNDERWAY.

>> HE WAS A LOVELY BOY WHO LOVED HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

HE PAID THE PRICE FOR THE ATMOSPHERE OF HATE.

>> THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL NO LONGER BE ALLOWED TO SEPARATE MIGRANT FAMILIES.

IF A FEDERAL COURT APPROVES A PROPOSED SETTLEMENT IN A SAN DIEGO-BASED LAWSUIT THE PROPOSED DEAL WAS REACHED BETWEEN BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND THE ACLU TODAY.

IT PERMITS FAMILIES FROM BEING SEPARATED FOR AN EIGHT YEAR PERIOD EXCEPT IN LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES LIKE WHEN SOMEONE HAS COMMITTED A FELONY.

THE SETTLEMENT SETS UP SUPPORT FOR FAMILIES WHO WERE PREVIOUSLY SEPARATED BUT DOES NOT PROVIDE MONETARY COMPENSATION.

>>> COLLEGE STUDENTS WHO ARE UNDOCUMENTED ARE BEING SUPPORTED ON CAMPUSES ACROSS CALIFORNIA THIS WEEK.

IT IS A WEEK DESIGNATED FOR ACTION AND CONNECTION TO RESOURCES.

KPBS EDUCATION REPORTER TAKES US ON CAMPUS FOR THE STORY.

>> ON THE SECOND FLOOR OF THE SAN DIEGO COLLEGE OF CONTINUING EDUCATION CESAR CHAVEZ CAMPUS THERE IS ROOM 212, HOME OF THE IMMIGRATION SUPPORT PROGRAM.

BETTER KNOWN SIMPLY AS THE ISP.

>> THIS IS A SAFE PLACE.

>> VICTOR GONZALEZ IS THE COUNSELOR WORKING WITH IMMIGRANTS WHO ARE HERE FROM A VARIETY OF COUNTRIES.

MOST OF THEM FROM LATIN AMERICA, MANY UNDOCUMENTED.

>> IT IS VERY DIFFICULT.

YOU SHARE THAT INFO TO PEOPLE THAT YOU TRUST, TO YOUR FAMILY.

ISP IS A FAMILY.

>> HE HIMSELF IS AN UNDOCUMENTED INDIGENOUS MEXICAN NATIONAL BROUGHT TO THE UNITED STATES BY HIS PARENTS WHEN HE WAS 11 YEARS OLD.

BY 17, THEY WERE DEPORTED AND HE WAS LEFT HERE ALONE TO TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF.

>> YOU'RE THINKING OF GOING BACK TO COLLEGE.

>> HE FOUGHT FOR AN EDUCATION THAT STARTED AT MESA COLLEGE AND TOOK HIM TO SAN DIEGO STATE WHERE HE GOT A BACHELORS DEGREE IN SOCIAL WORK, THEN A MASTERS DEGREE IN COUNSELING.

HE ALSO MARRIED AND HAS TWO CHILDREN HE ADORES.

>> I STILL HAVE THOSE FEARS EVEN THOUGH I'M PROTECTED AND I HAVE A WORK PERMIT.

SOCIETY STILL SEES ME AS UNDOCUMENTED.

>> HIS STORY IS PART OF WHAT HE NOW SHARES WITH OTHERS LIKE HIM WHO ARE HERE AT THE ISP FOR RESOURCES AND IN EDUCATION.

THIS IS THE DESIGNATED UNDOCUMENTED STUDENT ACTION WEEK.

>> BEING HERE AS UNDOCUMENTED WAS NOT A DECISION I MADE.

CIRCUMSTANCES SUCH AS MY WIFE IN 2020 IS IN THE MIDDLE OF COVID AND SHE GOT IN AN ACCIDENT.

>> JOE CORONADO AND HIS WIFE AND THEIR SON ARRIVED IN THE U.S.

IN 2018 WITH VISAS, BUT HER CAR ACCIDENT LED TO A BRAIN ILLNESS THAT REQUIRED THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO COVER.

>> IT WAS TOO EXPENSIVE.

WE HAD TO TAKE THE RELIEF IN THIS CASE.

WHEN YOU TAKE THAT, YOU DON'T HAVE DESIGN.

>> HE GOT HIS ASSOCIATES DEGREE BUT NOW WAITS IN AN EDUCATIONAL LIMBO AND HOPES TO RETURN FOR A BACHELORS DEGREE IN CYBER SECURITY.

THE RECOGNITION OF UNDOCUMENTED STUDENTS IS HAPPENING ON CAMPUSES ACROSS CALIFORNIA THIS WEEK.

THERE ARE AN ESTIMATED 100,000 OF THEM ALL IN SEARCH OF AN EDUCATION WITH HOPE FOR A BETTER FUTURE.

EACH ONE OF THESE STUDENTS HAS A STORY.

VICTOR GONZALEZ WANTS TO MAKE SURE HE CAN GUIDE THEM TO THE BEST SUCCESS STORY POSSIBLE.

>>> WE ARE DEALING WITH AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE THAT IS LIFTING SOUTH ACROSS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST BRINGING A SLIGHT COOLING ESPECIALLY TO THE COASTAL AREAS AS WELL AS LOW CLOUDS.

WE DO HAVE A WARM-UP ON THE WAY.

WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO TRACK WHERE THOSE TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO GO BEFORE WE SEE YET ANOTHER COOLDOWN.

>>> THE CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION HAS APPROVED THE REPAIR PERMIT FOR THE SEAWALL PROTECTING HOMES ALONG THE STRETCH OF OCEANSIDE BEACHES, BUT THE PERMIT COMES WITH CONDITIONS.

KPBS NORTH COUNTY REPORTER EXPLAINS.

>> THE SHORELINE ALONG OCEANSIDE BEACHES IS BADLY ERODED.

THERE ARE PEBBLES AND ROCKS.

WITH SEA LEVEL RISE AND HUMID MADE CLIMATE CHANGE THE WALL IS WHAT IS HELPING TO PROTECT THOSE PROPERTIES, BUT OVER THE YEARS OWNERS HAVE ADDED IMPROVEMENTS THAT WERE UNPERMITTED.

>> THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS AND OCEANSIDE WITH GENERAL DISAGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE CITY AND PROPERTY OWNERS.

>> MITCH SILVERSTEIN IS A MANAGER OF THE SURFRIDER FOUNDATION.

HE SAYS WHEN THE CITY APPROVED THE PERMIT FOR WALL REPAIRS LAST YEAR SURFRIDER HAD CONCERNS.

>> THE PUBLIC WILL GET A BAD DEAL.

WE MAY ACTUALLY LOSE BEACH ACCESS IN SITUATION OF ERODING BEACHES AND IT WILL BECOME WORSE BECAUSE OF THIS.

>> SURFRIDER ALONG WITH ANOTHER GROUP FILED AN APPEAL WITH THE CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION OF OR CONCERNED ABOUT PUBLIC ACCESS AND THE UNPERMITTED DEVELOPMENTS.

THE COASTAL COMMISSION APPROVED BUILDING THE SEAWALL MORE THAN 40 YEARS AGO.

SINCE THEN, OWNERS HAVE ADDED STAIRCASES, CONCRETE LANDINGS AND FIRE PITS ON TOP OF THE SEAWALL.

NONE OF THOSE WERE PERMITTED.

AT THE LAST MEETING, COMMISSIONERS CITED WITH THE GROUPS.

>> THIS IS GOING TO BECOME AN ISSUE THAT IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO COME BEFORE THE COMMISSION AND PERHAPS INCREASINGLY.

>> THEY VOTED TO APPROVE THE REPAIR PERMIT BUT ADDED SOME CONDITIONS.

>> IT IS HIGH TIDE.

THE WAVES ARE PRETTY MUCH HITTING THE SEAWALL.

THIS SEAWALL IS MORE THAN 40 YEARS OLD AND HAS COME INTO DISREPAIR.

AS YOU CAN SEE BOULDERS HAVE FALLEN ONTO THE BEACH.

THE COMMISSION HAS SAID HOMEOWNERS CAN REBUILD THE WALL BUT THEY HAVE TO REMOVE THOSE BOULDERS.

>> GONE ARE THE STAIRS AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS OWNERS HAVE MADE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

THEY ARE GLAD THE COMMISSION LISTENED TO THE CONCERNS.

>> WE NEED THE COASTAL COMMISSION TO HAVE THAT OVERSIGHT AND TO PUT THOSE SPECIAL CONDITIONS.

>> A REPRESENTATIVE SAID THEY ARE THRILLED THEY CAN PROCEED WITH MUCH-NEEDED SEAWALL REPAIR WORK.

ALEXANDER NGUYEN, KPBS NEWS.

>>> THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN GAZA WORSENS WITH MORE THAN 1 MILLION PEOPLE DISPLACED FROM THEIR HOMES.

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

>>> MOST CALIFORNIANS HAVE MORE TIME TO FILE THEIR 2022 TAXES.

THE DEADLINE WAS INITIALLY SET FOR TODAY WITH THE IRS FURTHER POSTPONING THE DEADLINE TO NOVEMBER 16th.

INDIVIDUALS AND BUSINESSES AND ALL BUT THREE CALIFORNIA COUNTIES QUALIFY.

THE RELIEF IS BASED ON THREE DIFFERENT DISASTER DECLARATIONS COVERING SEVERE STORMS, FLOODING AND MUDSLIDES OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL MONTHS LAST YEAR.

>>> RITE AID IS IN NEED OF AID.

THEY FILED FOR CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY IN THE AFTERMATH OF LEGAL BATTLES WHERE RITE AID IS ACCUSED OF UNLAWFULLY FILLING OPIOID PRESCRIPTIONS.

THE COMPANY PLANS TO SHUT DOWN SOME OF ITS STORES AND SELL OF OTHERS.

RIGHT SAYS IT SECURED THREE AND HALF BILLION DOLLARS FROM LENDERS TO KEEP THE COMPANY RUNNING DURING THE PROCESS.

>>> THE RESPIRATORY VIRUS KNOWN AS RSV LEADS TO MORE THAN 2 MILLION DOCTOR VISITS AMONG CHILDREN UNDER FIVE EACH YEAR.

THAT IS ACCORDING TO THE CDC.

THERE'S A NEW WAY TO HELP PREVENT SEVERE ILLNESSES FROM THE VIRUS.

>> IT'S A NEW WEAPON AGAINST A COMMON AND CONTAGIOUS VIRUS THAT MAY CHANGE THE HOLD THAT RSV CAN HAVE OVER YOUNG CHILDREN DURING RESPIRATORY VIRUS SEASON.

>> IT GIVES AN EXTRA LAYER OF PROTECTION TO THESE BABIES SO IF THEY GET RSV THEY WON'T GET AS SICK.

>> THIS DR. SAYS THE NEW TREATMENT IS A MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY.

THEY RECOMMENDED FOR ALL BABIES YOUNGER THAN EIGHT MONTHS BORN DURING OR ENTERING THEIR FIRST RSV SEASON.

A VACCINATION CAN ALSO BE GIVEN DURING PREGNANCY IF YOU'RE 32 TO 36 WEEKS PREGNANT AND RSV SEASON WHICH IS SEPTEMBER THROUGH JANUARY AND MOST OF THE COUNTRY.

THE ANTIBODY IS ALSO RECOMMENDED FOR SOME CHILDREN BETWEEN THE AGES OF EIGHT AND 19 MONTHS WHO ARE AT HIGHER RISK OF SEVERE ILLNESS BECAUSE OF A PRE-EXISTING CONDITION.

>> IS AVAILABLE IN PEDIATRICIANS OFFICES AND IT'S ALSO AVAILABLE IN THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH CLINICS.

>> MOST PEOPLE WHO GET RSV HAVE ONLY MILD SYMPTOMS SIMILAR TO A COLD BUT IT CAN ALSO BE SEVERE AND LIFE-THREATENING.

RSV CAN CAUSE DEHYDRATION IF A CHILD WON'T EAT OR DRINK AND CAN MAKE IT HARD TO BREATHE.

>> THESE ARE THE INDICATIONS I SPEAK PARENTS WHEN THEY SHOULD TAKE THEM TO THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT.

>> FOR HEALTH MINUTE, I'M AMY GAITHER.

>> THEY RECOMMEND ADULTS AGES 60 AND OLDER TALK TO THE DOCTOR ABOUT RSV VACCINATION.

OLDER ADULTS ARE AT INCREASED RISK FOR SEVERE ILLNESS FROM RSV DUE TO THE IMMUNE SYSTEM WEAKENING WITH AGE.

>>> SEPTEMBER 1 IS THE WARMEST EVER WITH RECORDS AT 111 COUNTIES.

AS OUR ENVIRONMENT REPORTER TELLS US, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA HAD A PRETTY MODERATE MONTH.

>> MOST OF THE COUNTRY BAKED UNDER RECORD HEAT IN SEPTEMBER MAKING THE MONTH THE SEVENTH WARMEST IN THE LAST 129 YEARS.

IT WAS ALSO THE THIRD DRIEST SEPTEMBER EVER RECORDED.

THE OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION'S FORECAST WARMER THAN USUAL CONDITIONS THROUGH THE WINTER.

>> IT'S A COMBINATION OF MULTIPLE MONTHS OF BEING ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES MIXING AS WE SORT OF PUSH INTO THIS EL NINO SEASON.

WE ARE STARTING TO SEE A LOT OF CONTINUOUS STATES AND LOCATIONS AND GEOGRAPHIES MAINTAIN THIS RECORD WARMTH WE'RE SEEING.

>> THE HEAT WAVE IN THE MIDWEST BECAME THE 24th WEATHER-RELATED DISASTER TO CAUSE A BILLION- DOLLAR IN DAMAGES THIS YEAR.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BUCKED THE NATIONAL TREND LAST MONTH REPORTING AVERAGE OR BELOW AVERAGE TEMPERATURES.

THE REGION IS FACING AN UNCERTAIN OUTLOOK IN LARGE PART BECAUSE OF THE WARMING OCEAN WATERS IN THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN PACIFIC.

>> IT'S GOING TO BE A STRONGER EL NINO.

THAT'S USUALLY ASSOCIATED WITH WARMER GLOBAL TEMPERATURES AND WHEN THE ATMOSPHERE CAN HOLD MORE WATER IT CAN DRAW MORE MOISTURE FROM THE SOIL.

>> CONDITIONS ARE MODERATED IN CALIFORNIA LAST MONTH WITH LESS THAN 5% OF THE STATE CONSIDERED TO BE DRIER THAN NORMAL.

OFFICIALS OF THE U.S. DROUGHT MONITOR SAY THAT IS BECAUSE THIS YEAR'S RAIN HAS REFILLED MOST OF THE STATES RESERVOIRS.

ERIC ANDERSON, KPBS NEWS.

>>> THE CAUSES OF WILDFIRES IN THE U.S. IS SHOCKINGLY HIGHER THAN PREVIOUS GOVERNMENT ESTIMATES.

A NEW CONGRESSIONAL REPORT SUGGESTS WILDFIRES COULD BE CAUSING THE COUNTRY AS MUCH AS $893 BILLION A YEAR.

THAT IS MORE THAN DOUBLE WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT.

IN THE NEW REPORT, THE COMMITTEE LOOKED AT A WIDE RANGE OF COSTS BEYOND IMMEDIATE WILDFIRE DAMAGE AND THOSE INCLUDE REAL ESTATE VALUE, PREMATURE DEATH, INCOME LOSS AND MORE.

REPORTS SUGGEST REAL ESTATE ALONE HAS SUFFERED ANYWHERE FROM 67 BILLION TO $337 BILLION A YEAR DUE TO WILDFIRES.

>>> WE WILL START OFF WITH YOUR WEATHER HEADLINES.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW AS WE HAD THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE AND END OF THE WEEK.

WE ARE DEALING WITH SOME CALLING.

IT WON'T BE A SIGNIFICANT COOLDOWN, BUT ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COAST AS WELL AS FOG DEVELOPING.

LATE IN THE DAY YOU MAY DEAL WITH SOME LOWER VISIBILITY AND PROBLEMS ON THE ROAD.

MAKE SURE YOU ARE STAYING AWARE AND TAKING PRECAUTIONS IF YOU DO HAVE TO HEAD OUT.

FOR OUR WARMER WEATHER LEVERS A MIDWEEK WARM-UP IS ON THE WAY WITH TEMPERATURES PEAKING BY THURSDAY.

TONIGHT WE DROP DOWN TO A LOW OF 61.

MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES.

THAT'S GOING TO BE THE STORY OF.

WE ARE DROPPING ON OCEANSIDE.

RAMONA 54.

YOU WILL NOTE WE ARE DEALING WITH THIS AREA OF LOW PRESSURE THAT IS DRIFTING SOUTH ALONG THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST.

THAT IS WHAT IS BRINGING US THAT SLIGHT COOLDOWN AND ALSO SOME LOW CLOUDS ESPECIALLY THERE ALONG THE COAST.

A WARM-UP IS ON THE WAY AS WE HEAD INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.

WE'VE GOT TO GET THERE.

SAN DIEGO TUESDAY COME A 76 FOR THE HIGH.

NOTHING TOO SIGNIFICANT.

NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY.

WE'RE HITTING A HIGH OF 97.

MOUNT LAGUNA 67.

WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO SEE AN UPTICK IN THE MERCURY THIS WEEK.

WE HAVE THIS LIFT IN THE JET STREAM ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST.

HIGHS ARE RUNNING ABOVE THE HISTORICAL AVERAGE.

WE WILL REMAIN MOSTLY DRY AND RECORD HIGHS CHALLENGED WEDNESDAY TO THURSDAY.

IF WE LOOK AT OR TEMPERATURES GO LOOK ALONG THE COAST.

WE ARE RISING TO THE 80s AGAIN AS WE HEAD INTO THURSDAY.

THAT'S WHERE WE SEE HER HIGHEST TEMPERATURE OF THE WEEK STAIN IN THE 80s THROUGH FRIDAY AND DIPPING DOWN AS WE HAD TO THE WEEKEND.

OTHER AREAS THAT WILL SEE A PEAK IN TEMPERATURES AS WE MOVE INLAND WE WILL HIT A HIGH OF 94 BY THURSDAY.

FOR KPBS NEWS, I'M BREE GUY.

>>> YOU MAY THINK OF BRIDGES AS CREATIONS THAT ALLOW US TO CROSS FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER.

THAT'S THE CASE WITH THE VERMONT STREET BRIDGE.

IT ALLOWS PEOPLE TO CROSS BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN TWO SAN DIEGO NEIGHBORHOODS.

KPBS REPORTER JOHN CARROLL FOUND THIS BRIDGE IS ABOUT MUCH MORE THAN GETTING FROM HERE TO THERE.

>> LIKE SO MANY STREETS IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY VERMONT STREET IS DIVIDED.

THE VERMONT STREET BRIDGE LINKS THE NEIGHBORHOODS OF HILLCREST AND UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS.

THIS BRIDGE IS ABOUT MUCH MORE THAN CONCRETE AND STEEL.

AS YOU WALK ACROSS IT YOU ARE SURROUNDED BY ART.

>> I'M AN ARTIST AND EDUCATOR.

>> LYNN SUSHOLTZ IS A CREATOR.

SHE WAS PART OF A TRIO OF ARTISTS WHO BROUGHT AN IDEA TO LIFE.

AN IDEA THAT WAS NOVEL FOR SAN DIEGO BACK IN THE EARLY 90s.

PUBLIC ART.

>> THE ART IS A SERIES OF STAINLESS STEEL AND COLORED ACRYLIC PANELS AS WELL AS DECORATIVE WORK ON THE CONCRETE , SANDBLASTED TEXT AND DESIGN DECORATION SHAPES AND SYMBOLS.

>> A DESCRIPTION WHERE THE OF WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY.

YOU HAVE TO WALK THIS BRIDGE TO HAVE THAT DESCRIPTION COME TO LIFE TO EXPERIENCE THE IDEA AT THE HEART OF THE ART.

>> IDEAS, THE METAPHORS OF BRIDGING AND WALKING AND A WAY TO LOOK AT OUR SENSE OF TIME AND SPACE AND OUR ENVIRONMENT.

>> MANY OF THE PANELS FEATURE QUOTES.

SOME WHIMSICAL LIKE THIS ONE FROM KATE SESSIONS, I AM THANKFUL THAT I WEAR SENSIBLE SHOES AND CAN WALK WITH COMFORT ALL DAY LONG.

SESSIONS IS JOINED BY TWO OTHER LOCALS WITH FEATURED QUOTES, DR. SEUSS AND FAMED ARCHITECT IRVING GILL WHOSE QUOTE IS ANYTHING BUT WHIMSICAL.

>> WHAT IDLE OR SIGNIFICANT SENTENCE WILL WE WRITE WITH BRICK AND STONE, WOOD, STEEL AND CONCRETE UPON THE SENSITIVE PAGE OF THE EARTH?

>> OTHER PANELS FEATURE SYMBOLS.

>> THIS IS A CONNECTION IN THE CHANGE IN HISTORY WHERE WE WERE MEXICO RIGHT HERE WHERE WE ARE STANDING.

MANY FOLKS DON'T KNOW THAT.

>> THERE IS THE ART ON BOTH SIDES OF YOU.

THERE'S ALSO ART FOUND UNDERFOOT .

SWIRLING SHAPES ETCHED INTO THE CONCRETE.

>> I WANTED THIS TO BE A REFLECTION OF MAYBE A ZEN GARDEN OR A GARDEN THAT YOU MIGHT SEE BEHIND A CRAFTSMAN HOME.

>> EYNON TO THE MANY CRAFTSMAN HOMES FOUND IN UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS.

BORDERING THE SHAPES OUR WORDS -- MORE PRECISELY, DEFINITIONS OF ONE WORD.

>> THIS IS OUT OF THE DICTIONARY.

>> AS A MATTER OF FACT, WE FIGURED IT OUT.

THERE ARE AT LEAST SEVEN THAT WE USED ON THE BRIDGE.

DIFFERENT DEFINITIONS OF BRIDGE.

EVERYTHING FROM A CARD GAME TO THE WOODEN PIECE IN THE MIDDLE OF A STRINGED INSTRUMENT.

>> APART FROM THE ARTIST'S, THERE WAS ANOTHER DRIVING FORCE BEHIND THIS PIECE OF PUBLIC ART.

HER NAME IS GAIL GOLDMAN.

>> I CAME TO SAN DIEGO TO BE THE FOUNDING DIRECTOR OF THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO'S PUBLIC ART PROGRAM.

>> THAT WAS MORE THAN 30 YEARS AGO.

HER FIRST PROJECT WAS THE VERMONT STREET BRIDGE.

AT FIRST, IT WAS JUST GOING TO BE A BRIDGE OF CONCRETE AND STEEL, NO ART.

GOLDMAN HAD OTHER IDEAS.

>> HOW DO YOU CREATE A PLACE THAT PEOPLE WANT TO BE?

ART IS A WAY TO DO THAT, TO GIVE IT SOME MEANING AND TO MAKE IT A DESTINATION AS OPPOSED TO JUST HAVING A TUNNEL OF ANXIETY.

HOW DO I GET FROM THIS AND TO THAT END?

PEOPLE NOW CAN MEANDER JUST LIKE THE PATTERN IN THE HARD SCAPE.

>> WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO MEANDER ON THIS BRIDGE YOU BECOME AWARE OF THE SPACE.

YOU SEE THINGS YOU'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

>> OFTEN USE THE 163 ON-RAMP HERE AS WELL AS WASHINGTON STREET.

I KNEW THERE WAS SPACE BETWEEN THEM BUT I HAD NO IDEA IT WAS THIS MAGNIFICENT CANYON.

THE DEPTH AND WIDTH OF IT.

I DIDN'T KNOW ANY OF THAT UNTIL I CROSSED THE VERMONT STREET BRIDGE.

>> PUBLIC ART HUMANIZES A SPACE AND I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT HOW OUR MOOD AND HOW OUR ABILITY TO BE PRESENT IS VERY MUCH AFFECTED BY WHAT'S IN OUR ENVIRONMENT.

>> NEARLY 30 YEARS AFTER THE BRIDGE WAS FINISHED LYNN SUSHOLTZ SAYS THE IDEA REMAINS THE SAME.

>> AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONSIDER WHERE YOU ARE AND TAKE A MOMENT IN AN AMAZING ENVIRONMENT.

200 FEET ABOVE THE CANYON IN SAN DIEGO, NEXT TO A FREEWAY.

TAKE A MOMENT AND SEE WHERE YOU ARE.

>> WHEN WHERE YOU ARE IS THE VERMONT STREET BRIDGE YOU KNOW YOU ARE AT A PLACE THAT IS ABOUT SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST A WAY TO GET FROM HERE TO THERE.

JOHN CARROLL, KPBS NEWS.
