>>> THE HEISTER KAISER PERMANENTE IS ENTERING ITS THIRD WEEK.

HEIDI DEMARCO SAYS HUNDREDS OF PHARMACY AND LABORATORY WORKERS JOINED THEM ON THE PICKET LINES.

ABOUT 500 PHARMACY TECHNICIANS, CLINICAL LABORATORY SCIENTISTS, AND OTHER LAB WORKERS WALKED OUT THIS MORNING.

THEY ARE JOINING NURSES AND HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS WHO ARE ALREADY ON STRIKE AGAINST KAISER PERMANENTE.

THEY ARE ASKING FOR HIGHER STAFF LEVELS AND BETTER PAY.

>> IT WAS DIFFICULT TO WALK OUT TODAY,S AND TO SAY, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT GOING TO DO MY JOB TODAY, BECAUSE WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE GOOD CARE TO OUR PATIENTS.

>> ERIN IS A CLINICAL LAB SCIENTIST AT KAISER.

SHE SAYS UNDER STAFFING AND LABORATORIES CREATES RISKS FOR PATIENTS.

>> WHETHER IT'S DIAGNOSING A HEART ATTACK OR A BLOOD CLOT, OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO HAVE ACCESS TO THOSE RESULTS AND IF WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE AND ENOUGH PEOPLE WORKING IN THE LABORATORY TO DO THAT, IT'S HARD ON THOSE OF US THAT ARE THERE.

>> IN A STATEMENT, KAISER SAYS THEY ARE DISAPPOINTED THAT THE UNION CHOSE TO STRIKE KNOWING THE EFFECT IT COULD HAVE ON PATIENT CARE.

UNION LEADERS SAY, NATIONAL CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS HAVE BEEN STALLED SINCE DECEMBER.

>> WE WANT THE KAISER EXECUTIVES TO COME TO THE TABLE AND BARGAIN WITH US IN GOOD FAITH.

WE ARE READY TO DO THAT.

WE NEED THEM TO SHOW UP, TOO.

>> KAISER HAS PLANS IN PLACE TO MAINTAIN PATIENT CARE DURING THE STRIKE, BUT SOME PHARMACIES WILL BE CLOSED AND LAB SERVICES MAY BE DELAYED.

UNION LEADERS SAY THE STRIKE IS PLANNED TO LAST THREE DAYS.

BUT, THEY RESERVE THE RIGHT TO EXTEND IT IF NECESSARY.

DYEHEIDI DEMARCO.

>> A LOW AROUND 58 IN SAN DIEGO.

>> THE TOP OFFICIAL AT SAN DIEGO COUNTY'S DEPARTMENT OF ANIMAL SERVICES HAS STEPPED DOWN.

KPBS REPORTER, ELAINE ELFARO HAS THE DETAILS.

>> VONN MAURICE WAS DIRECTOR OF THE ANIMAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT FOR A YEAR AND A HALF.

THE COUNTY CONFIRMED HIS DEPARTURE AS OF LAST WEEK, BUT WOULD NOT PROVIDE DETAILS ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES.

THIS IS THE SECOND HIGH RANKING OFFICIAL IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS TO EXIT THE DEPARTMENT.

MAURICE'S DEPARTURE COMES AFTER THE COUNTY CUT TIES WITH RACHEL, THE DEPARTMENT SECOND IN COMMAND.

KPBS UNCOVERED A VOICE MESSAGE IN WHICH SHE MADE CRUDE AND DISPAGING STATEMENTS.

PREVIOUSLY, KPBS REPORTED ON SKYROCKETING DOG EUTHANASIA RATES IN COUNTY SHELTERS AND THE DEPARTMENT'S POOR RECORDKEEPING PRACTICES.

THE COUNTY SPOKESPERSON DECLINED AN INTERVIEW REQUEST, BUT SENT A STATEMENT.

QUOTE, VONN MAURICE HAS LEFT THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO.

WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE DEDICATION OF THE ANIMAL SERVICES EMPLOYEES WHO PROVIDE COMPASSIONATE CARE, AND RESPONSIBLE PET OWNERSHIP, AND PROVIDE PUBLIC SAFETY.

END COAT.

>>> SAN DIEGO IS EXPANDING FREE PARKING FOR CITY RESIDENTS IN BALBOA PARK.

THE DEBATE OVER PARKING FEES CONTINUES.

KPBS METRO REPORTER SAYS SOME ADVOCATES ARE PUSHING FOR BETTER WAYS TO ACCESS BALBOA PARK WITHOUT A CAR.

>> IT MAY NOT BE THE NORM, BUT IT'S FAR FROM IMPOSSIBLE.

TWO BUS ROUTES GO TO THE PARK.

SEVERAL OTHERS STOP WITHIN A BLOCK OR TWO, AND THE PARK IS SERVED BY MULTIPLE PROTECTED BIKE LANES THAT HAVE OPENED UP IN RECENT YEARS.

>> I MEAN, WE WANT TO SEE PEOPLE THAT GO TO BALBOA PARK, NOT NECESSARILY TAKING THE CAR.

>> VICE PRESIDENT OF THE TRANSIT ADVOCACY GROUP, RIDE SD.

THE GROUP AND ITS ALLIES RELEASED A STATEMENT LAST WEEK, THEY ARE CALLING ON MAYOR TODD GLORIA TO DO MORE TO HELP VISITORS AVOID THE PARKING FEES ALL TOGETHER.

LIKE PROMOTING AND IMPROVING CAR-FREE ACCESS TO BALBOA PARK.

THE CITY CAN DO THAT WHILE SPENDING LITTLE TO NO MONEY.

>> EVEN IF THE CITY IS NOT ABLE TO MAKE ANY MONEY AVAILABLE TO IMPROVE PUBLIC TRANSPORT, WE WANT TO SEE THE CITY MAKING A STAND, MESSAGING THAT.

WE DON'T SEE ANYTHING LIKE THE MAYOR TAKING THE BUS AS A MARKETING COMPLAINT.

LOTS OF THINGS THAT THE CITY COULD DO WITHOUT ADDITIONAL BUDGET TO PROMOTE PUBLIC TRANSPORT.

>> SAN DIEGO IS PREPARING TO UPDATE THE BALBOA PARK MASTER PLAN.

THE GOAL IS TO IMPROVE THE PARK'S AGING INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAKE IT MORE ACCESSIBLE TO MORE PEOPLE.

PETER IS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE BALBOA PARK CULTURAL PARTNERSHIP.

THE GROUP REPRESENTS THE PARK'S MUSEUMS AND CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS.

HE SAYS IN THE SHORT-TERM, DRIVING IS STILL THE BEST OPTION.

>> LET'S WORK OUT WAYS WE CAN IMPROVE ACCESS TO THE PARK.

RIGHT NOW THOUGH, THAT'S VEHICLES.

AND WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE VEHICLES AND THOSE CARS CAN STILL GET HERE.

IT'S IMPORTANT PEOPLE GET HERE THROUGH OTHER MODES.

INCLUDING RIDE SHARE AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO THOSE CHANGES.

>> STARTING NEXT MONTH, VERIFIED CITY RESIDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO PARK FOR FREE IN SEVEN OF BALBOA PARK'S 12 PARKING LOTS AND PARKING WILL BE FREE FOR EVERYONE AFTER 6:00 P.M.

THE MAYOR MADE THOSE CHANGES UNDER PRESSURE FROM THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE PUBLIC.

BUT GLORIA WARNS THE CHANGES ARE NOT FREE.

THE LOSS OF REVENUE WILL MAKE IT EVEN HARDER TO CLOSE THE CITY'S BUDGET DEFICIT.

ANDREW BOWAN, KPBS NEWS.

>>> SANDBAGS 2025 REGIONAL PLAN PROPOSES SPENDING MORE THAN $125 BILLION OVER THE NEXT 25 YEARS.

IMPROVING REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS.

PREVIOUS PLANS INCLUDED LOFTY GOALS LIKE NEW TROLLEY SEGMENTS.

OFFICIALS SAY THE NEW PLAN FOCUSES ON MORE IMMEDIATE INVESTMENTS THAT WILL IMPROVE EXISTING SERVICE FOR TRANSIT RIDERS.

PUBLIC MATTERS REPORTER HAS MORE.

>> Reporter: THE FUTURE OF TRANSPORTATION IN SAN DIEGO IS BUSES AND A WHOLE LOT OF THEM.

APPROVED $125 BILLION REGIONAL PLAN.

THAT'S LESS MAN THAN THE 2021 PLAN, AND PUSHES BACK THE TIME LINE ON BIG IDEAS, LIKE THE PURPLE LINE OR THE AIRPORT TROLLEY CONNECTION.

TRANSIT ADVOCATES ARE LESS EXCITED ABOUT THE SCALED BACK PLAN.

>> I MEAN, THERE WAS A LOT OF DISAPPOINTMENT THAT SOME OF THE VERY AMBITIOUS PROJECTS WERE DOWN SCALED.

MOST NOTABLY, THE PURPLE LINE, THE 2021 PLAN, THIS VERY AMBITIOUS PLAN.

>> MARIO SAYS THE FOCUS IS ON DELIVERING IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN THEIR FINANCIAL MEANS.

>> WHAT'S DIFFERENT IS THAT WE TOOK AN APPROACH BASED ON MORE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE NOW.

BOTH FROM THE ASUPLGTSS OF ASSUMPTIONS OF REVENUE.

WE SCALED IT DOWN TO MANAGE OUR REALITIES.

>> AND THE BOARD CHAIR SUPPORTS THIS MORE PRACTICAL APPROACH.

>> IT'S WONDERFUL TO PUT OUT GREAT IDEAS FOR THE FUTURE.

IF YOU CAN'T BE DONE, WHAT'S THE POINT?

WE HAVE TO BE REALISTIC NOW AND LIVE WITHIN OUR MEANS.

GET MORE PROJECTS DELIVERED AND SOONER.

>> WHAT WILL HE GET FOR $125 BILLION?

WELL, A LOT OF RAPID BUS LINES AND MANAGE LANES ON THE HIGHWAYS.

THE PLAN PROPOSES SPENDING $41 BILLION THROUGH 2035.

$19BILLION WILL GO TO PUBLIC TRANSIT.

FOR ABOUT $5 BILLION, THEY WANT TO HELP CREATE 40 OF WHAT THEY CALL NEXT GEN RAPID BUS ROUTES.

AMONG THE HIGHEST RIDERSHIP IN THE SYSTEM.

>> SO, IN ORDER FOR US TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A TRANSIT SERVICE THAT WILL START POINT A AND POINT B AND THE USER WILL HAVE INFORMATION THAT THEY CAN MAKE THAT TRIP IN CERTAIN TIME PERIODS, THAT ALLOWS THEM TO PLAN THEIR TRIP.

BUT IT MAKES IT ATTRACTIVE ALSO.

>> THAT'S WHY THEY WANT TO SPEND MORE THAN $4 BILLION CREATING THOSE LANES ON THE HIGHWAYS.

PARTS OF I-15 ALREADY HAVE THEM.

BUT THESE MULTIUSE LANES AREN'T ALWAYS EXCLUSIVELY FOR BUSES.

SOMETIMES THEY ALLOW CAR POOLS OR SOLO DRIVERS FOR A FEE.

UNSURE THEY WILL MAKE THE BUSES ALL THAT RAPID.

>> THEY CAN GO TO THE ADVOCATES AND MANAGE LANES, BUSES ONLY.

THIS IS YOUR DREAM.

WE ARE IMPLEMENTING YOUR DREAM.

THEY CAN GO AND SAY, IT WILL BE HOV, OR MAYBE NOT EVEN HOV LANES.

WE'LL EXPAND, SO YOU HAVE MORE SPACE ON THE EXISTING CORRIDOR.

>> THE MANAGED LANES CAN INCREASE VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED IN THE REGION.

STILL, THE PLAN WILL ACHIEVE ITS CLIMATE GOALS.

>> THE GREENHOUSE EMISSION REDUCTION IS VERY IMPORTANT.

AND PEOPLE TRAVEL, SOMETIMES MAY NOT BE THE BEST PROXY AS CORRELATION.

>> ONE BIG REASON FOR THIS DOWN SCALED PLAN IS THE AGENCY ISN'T EXPECTING AS MANY SOURCES OF REVENUE.

>> THERE WAS A PREVIOUS ERA.

PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE IN WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

THEY WILL SUPPORT TAX MEASURES TO BE ABLE TO FUND THAT THERE IS MUCH MORE SENSITIVITY IN THE VOTERS IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY ARE WILLING TO SUPPORT.

>> THE REGION'S TRANSIT AGENCIES NEED ALMOST $7 BILLION OVER THE NEXT TEN YEARS TO SUPPORT SERVICE ON THE SYSTEM WE ALREADY HAVE.

>> THE STATE, YOU KNOW, COULD REALLY PROBABLY UP THEIR GAME AND GIVE US OPERATION STALLERS.

>> TRANSIT AND HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENTS MAKE UP 75% OF PROJECTED SPENDING FOR THE NEXT TEN YEARS.

THE REST WILL COVER EVERYTHING FROM BIKE INFRASTRUCTURE TO REPAVING LOCAL ROADS.

>> IT CREATED A LOT MORE STRESS OUTSIDE OF WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE.

>> TOWN COUNCIL AND THE SHERIFF STATION DID NOT PUT OUT A DIRECTIVE TO START GATHERING THESE UP.

THEY CERTAINLY WOULDN'T BE LOOKING FOR FIRE VICTIMS AND TRY TO MAKE THEIR LIVES HARDER.

>>> WE ARE STEPPING INTO A MORE ACTIVE, COOLER AND WETTER WEATHER PATTERN.

RETURNING BREEZY AND MUCH COOLER THROUGH TUESDAY.

FINALLY, SOME RAIN SHOWERS AFTER A LONG, PROLONGED DRY SPELL WILL RETURN AT MIDWEEK.

HIGH ELEVATIONS, SEE A LITTLE BIT OF SNOW INTO MIDWEEK WITH THIS STORM SYSTEM.

THERE WILL BE PATCHY FOG THAT RETURNS LATE AT NIGHT.

58 DEGREES FOR YOUR LOW.

ON SHORE WIND WILL PICK UP AND TUESDAY, MOST OF THE ACTION IS STILL GOING TO BE WELL TO OUR NORTH.

WE'LL LIKELY STAY DRY FOR MOST OF TUESDAY.

MAYBE A FEW SHOWERS WILL BREAK OUT, UP IN NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY.

AND WE'LL HAVE A WILL THE OF CLOUD COVER OUT THERE.

FOG IN THE MORNING, LOW CLOUDS LINGERING THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY.

WE WILL HAVE THAT ON SHORE WIND.

TEMPERATURES TRENDING DOWNWARD, BACK IN THE 60s FOR MOST OF US.

A RUN TO 70.

THAT'S THE EXCEPTION.

DOWN TO 67 IN SAN DIEGO.

AND BENEFICIAL MOISTURE WILL MOVE IN.

THROUGH WEDNESDAY, WEDNESDAY WE GET INTO IT HERE LOCALLY.

IT WILL BE BREEZY, SNOW WILL BE FALLING, EVEN IN THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS.

PART OF ORANGE COUNTY AND PARTS OF THE AREA TO THE NORTHEAST WILL BEGIN TO SEE RAIN SHOWERS, UP INTO AREAS LIKE THE HIGHEST OF ELEVATIONS, INTO SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, WE'LL SEE SNOW AS WELL.

SO TUESDAY, WE'RE STILL DRY, SHOWERS NORTH OF LOS ANGELES.

AS WE MOVE FORWARD THOUGH, THE STORM SYSTEM BEGINS TO PRODUCE SHOWERS LOCALLY HERE INTO WEDNESDAY.

AND THERE YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THAT RAIN, VERY HIGH ELEVATION SNOW, IT WILL BE WET OUT THERE INTO MIDWEEK, WEDNESDAY EVENING, THIS BEGINS TO POOL EAST.

SHOWERS ROLL IN LOCALLY ON WEDNESDAY, COOLER WEATHER ON SHORE WINDS, MOUNTAIN SNOW INTO THE CIERRA.

THAT'S GOOD NEWS, AND IT IS A PRETTY SWIFT, CONCISE STORM SYSTEM.

WE'RE DRY WITH SNOW INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE SOUTHWEST, BUT OVERALL, WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE WITH THIS WETTER PATTERN INTO MID MONTH.

SO WE GET A LITTLE BIT OF ACTION WEDNESDAY, AND WE'RE GOING TO SEE MORE ON THE HORIZON AFTER A LITTLE BIT OF DRYING LATER THIS WEEK.

THERE WILL BE MORE WET WEATHER TO COME INTO THE NEXT WEEK OF FEBRUARY AS WELL.

SO, HERE WE ARE.

CLOUDS INCREASE TUESDAY.

SOME SHOWERS AROUND ON WEDNESDAY.

AND GENERALLY DRYER THURSDAY, FRIDAY, AND SATURDAY.

MOSTLY SUNNY.

WE'LL BE WAITING FOR THE NEXT SYSTEM TO COME IN.

INTO THE INLAND AREAS, CLOUDS, SHOWERS INCREASE ON WEDNESDAY.

BUT THEN WE'RE BACK TO DRY WEATHER FOR THURSDAY, FRIDAY, AND SATURDAY.

INTO THE MOUNTAINS WE GO, ABOUT A CLOUDS, RAIN SHOWERS, PERHAPS POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY.

AND IF YOU'RE IN THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST OF ELEVATIONS, SNOW FLAKES AS WELL.

AND THE DESERT HERE, MOSTLY CLOUDY AND COOL.

PRETTY RESISTANT TO RAIN.

A FEW SPRINKLES.

AND WE'RE GOING BE BRIGHTER AND WARMER INTO SATURDAY.

AGAIN, THERE'S MORE COMING THE FOLLOWING WEEK.

THE PATTERN LOOKS PROMISING FOR RAIN.
