>>> MAJOR FUNDING FOR KB PS -- KPBS EVENING EDITION IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY BILL HOWE FAMILY OF COMPANIES.

CALL 1-800-BILL-HOWE OR VISIT BILLHOWE.COM.

AND BY THE CONRAD PREBYS FOUNDATION, DARLENE MARCOS SHILEY, AND BY THE FOLLOWING.

AND BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU.

THANK YOU.

>>> IT'S BEEN ONE MONTH SINCE THE SHOOTING AT THE ISLAMIC CENTER OF SAN DIEGO.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

I'M MAYA TRABULSI.

THE RESULTS OF ANY SURVEY SHOW THE IMPACT ON THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY SENSE OF BELONGING AND SAFETY IN SAN DIEGO.

>>> NEARLY NINE IN 10 MUSLIMS IN SAN DIEGO SAY THEY FEEL LESS SAFE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES SINCE THE SHOOTING THAT KILLED THREE PEOPLE.

THAT IS ACCORDING TO A SURVEY OF MORE THAN 300 LOCAL MUSLIM ADULTS, CONDUCTED BY UC SAN DIEGO'SU.S.

IMMIGRATION POLICY CENTER.

>> IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED, YOU KNOW, OUT OF NOTHING.

IT IS JUST A DEMONSTRATION, UNFORTUNATELY, OF THE HATE AGAINST THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY THAT WE HAVE EXPERIENCED FOR SO LONG.

TAZHEEN NIZAM, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE SAN DIEGO COUNCIL ON AMERICAN-ISLAMIC RELATIONS, OR CAIR.

>> THEY ARE COLLECTING DATA ON THE ONLINE HATEFUL SPEECH FOLLOWING THE SHOOTING.

ELAINE ALFARO, MAGA.

>>> WE ARE DROPPING INTO THE LOW TO MID 60s OVERALL.

WE ARE GOING TO SEE MORE LOW CLOUDS AS THE MARINE LAYER DEEPENS.

IT'S GOING FURTHER INLAND.

IT WON'T LAST LONG BUT YOUR HEADS UP FOR FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.

I WILL BREAK DOWN WHAT TO EXPECT FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND, COMING UP.

>>> THE SAN DIEGO CITY BUDGET WILL DEDICATE TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO REPAIRING ROADS.

THAT'S NOT NEARLY ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN THE BEST NETWORK OF STREETS THAT ARE ONLY GETTING WORSE.

>>> SAN DIEGO'S ROADS ARE CRUMBLING FASTER THAN THE CITY CAN FIX THEM.

AN UPDATE FROM THE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT SHOWS A HUGE GAP IN FUNDING.

AT THE CURRENT LEVEL, THE PROBLEM IS ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE BUT RECENT EFFORTS TO RAISE MONEY FOR ROADS AND TRANSIT, AN ALTERNATIVE TO DRIVING, FAILED AT THE BALLOT BOX, LEAVING THE CITY WITH A GAP IN FUNDING FOR CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE.

MICHAEL SCHNEIDER, CEO AND FOUNDER OF STREETS FOR ALL SAID THIS PROBLEM IS NOT UNIQUE TO SAN DIEGO .

>> MOST CITIES IN THE U.S.

DON'T HAVE THE DENSITY AND THAT THE TAX BASE PER SQUARE FOOTAGE OF ROAD TO BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN IT WELL.

>> Reporter: SAN DIEGO HAS THE SECOND LARGEST NETWORK OF ROADS IN CALIFORNIA.

THE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT SAYS IT NEEDS $1.8 BILLION OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS TO KEEP THEM IN AN ACCEPTABLE CONDITION.

>> MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS, FIXING ROADS WAS A PRIORITY.

>> PAYMENTS STAYING FOCUSED ON THE FUNDAMENTALS.

KEEPING YOU SAFE.

FIXING ROADS AND SIDEWALKS.

REDUCING HOMELESSNESS AND BUILDING MORE HOMES.

DESPITE RECENT BUDGETS HAVE BEEN FAR SHORT OF WHAT THE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT SAYS IT NEEDS.

THE LONG-TERM EFFECT IS A RAPIDLY DETERIORATING NETWORK THAT WILL ONLY COST MORE TO FIX IN THE FUTURE.

USD PROFESSOR AND PLANNING DIRECTOR BILL FULTON SAID THE PROBLEM STARTS WITH THE CITY'S LOW-DENSITY NEIGHBORHOODS.

>> WHEN YOU HAVE A SPRAWLING CITY, THE MATH DOESN'T ADD UP BETWEEN THE AMOUNT OF TAX REVENUE COMING IN AND THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT HAS TO GO OUT THE DOOR FOR SERVICES.

>> ACCORDING TO SHANE PHYLLIS WITH THE USC SCHOOL OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS, CALIFORNIA'S PROP 13 WHICH LIMITS THE PROPERTY TAX REVENUE IT CAN COLLECT ONLY COMPOUNDS THE ISSUE.

>> WE JUST MADE THE MOST FAIR AND EFFICIENT FORMS OF RAISING REVENUE TO FUND THESE KINDS OF SERVICES AND INFRASTRUCTURE.

WE MADE IT ILLEGAL OR EXTREMELY UNEQUAL, AND REALLY NEUTERED IT IN A LOT OF WAYS SO WE ENDED UP HAVING TO FIND OTHER ROUTES WITH SALES TAXES AND INCOME TAXES.

>> THAT IS WHAT SAN DIEGO TRIED TO DO WITH BALLOT MEASURES THAT FELT BY LESS THAN 1% IN 2024.

MEASURE E WOULD'VE RAISED 4 MILLION A YEAR FOR ROAD REPAIRS.

MEASURE G WOULD AFRAID -- RAISED 300 MILLION ANNUALLY FOR TRAFFIC CONGESTION.

>> I THINK SAN DIEGO'S TOLERANCE FOR MORE TEXAS IS PRETTY LOW.

>> MANY SAN DIEGO'S DON'T HAVE RELIABLE ALTERNATIVES TO DRIVING.

A GRAND JURY REPORT ON THE CITY AS WELL SHORT OF HOLDING BICYCLE AND RESEARCHER TO ENCOURAGE WRITERS.

THE TRANSPORTATION AGENCY IS FACING A BUDGET DEFICIT THAT THAT HAS THEM RAISING FARES AND LOOKING AT THEIR OWN BALLOT MEASURE.

SO WHAT CAN BE DONE?

>> THERE IS NO FAST SOLUTION TO THIS.

IT REQUIRES PEOPLE GETTING AROUND, FINDING MONEY TO TIDE YOU OVER, AND FUNDAMENTALLY RETHINKING HOW WE PAY FOR THESE THINGS.

>> PHILLIPS SAID BUILDING MORE HOMES AROUND THE INFRA STRUCTURE WE DO HAVE WOULD HELP.

>> WE ARE NOT TALKING HIGH-RISE HOUSING NECESSARILY.

JUST DENSER THAN FIVE HOMES IN A OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT THAT YOU WILL OFTEN SEE IN SUBURBS.

>> ACCORDING TO FULTON, DENSER AREAS GENERATE A LOT MORE TAX REVENUE.

>> I THINK WHAT PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE IS DENSE AREAS OF THE CITY SUCH AS DOWNTOWN, SUCH AS UTC, SUCH AS HILLCREST, ACTUALLY SUBSIDIZE THE LOW DENSITY SINGLE-FAMILY SUBURBS.

>> MEETING RECORDS SHOW SAN DIEGO IS BUILDING A LOT OF HOMES AND ITS URBAN CORE BUT THERE'S STILL A LOT OF PUSHBACK AGAINST THAT KIND OF DEVELOPMENT.

JAKE GOTTA, MAGA.

>> YOU CAN SEE MORE OF OUR STORIES AT KPBS.ORG/PUBLICMATTERS.

THE COMING WEEKS, LIBRARY STAFF WILL MOVE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF BOOKS, MAGAZINES AND OTHER LIBRARY MATERIALS TO THE RENOVATED LOCATION OFF OF THIRD AVENUE.

CONSTRUCTION BEGAN HOSTAGE AND FUNDED BY A $10 MILLION STATE GRANT.

ROBERT RHODES IS THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY SERVICES FOR THE CITY OF ESCONDIDO.

HE SHOULD OUR MEDIA PARTNER, KGTV AROUND THE NEW LOCATION.

>> IMAGINE IT AS A BARNES & NOBLE STYLE KIND OF CAFE AND BOOKSTORE.

RIGHT?

AND SO THIS IS WHERE YOU'LL BE ABLE TO GO, GRAB A COFFEE, GRAB A DRINK, HAVE A SEAT AT THE TABLE, READ YOUR BOOK AND BE ABLE TO ENJOY THE SPACE.

>> AND THE LIBRARY WILL HOST PUBLIC TOURS AND A RIBBON- CUTTING ON AUGUST 1st AND OFFICIALLY OPENED ON AUGUST 3rd.

>>> FOR MONTHS, SAN DIEGO'S BICYCLE RACING COMMUNITY HAS BEEN MIRED IN CONTROVERSY SURROUNDING THE INCLUSION OF TRANSGENDER ATHLETES.

JEREMY BOWERS SAYS THE BIKE ORGANIZATION IS REVERSING COURSE.

>> THE SAN DIEGO VELODROME IS A RACETRACK.

IN APRIL IT HOSTED A RACE THAT WAS CERTIFIED BY USA CYCLING, THE NATIONAL GOVERNING BODY FOR TRACK RACING.

LAST YEAR, USA CYCLING ADOPTED A POLICY THAT EXCLUDES TRANS WOMEN FROM WOMEN'S RACES.

THIS SPARKED AN OUTCRY FROM TRANS-RACERS AND THEIR ALLIES.

THEY ARGUED COLLABORATION WITH USA CYCLING MADE THE VELODROME COMPLICIT IN TRANSPHOBIA.

NO TRANS-RACERS WERE TURNED AWAY IN THE RACE IN APRIL AND SUPPORTERS OF USA CYCLING SAID THEY JUST WANT MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO TAKE PART IN THE NATIONAL COMPETITIVE CIRCUITS.

ON SUNDAY, THE NONPROFIT VELODROME ASSOCIATION HAD A MEETING OF ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

A MOTION TO CONTINUE HOSTING USA CYCLING RACES FAILED.

THAT MEANS THOSE RACES ARE FINISHED AT THE VELODROME, AT LEAST THROUGH THE END OF THE YEAR.

ONE VELODROME MEMBER TOLD ME, HE'S PLEASED WITH THE OUTCOME.

>> I THINK THAT IS GOOD BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S THE END OF THE STORY.

I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF WORK TO DO TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS WHY THIS WAS SO IMPORTANT TO A LOT OF THE COMMUNITY.

AND NOT TO LEAVE A SCHISM IN THE COMMUNITY.

>> USA CYCLING'S POLICY ON TRANS WOMEN IS NOT BASED IN SCIENCE.

STUDIES HAVE FOUND TRANS WOMEN WHO TAKE GENDER AFFIRMING HORMONE THERAPY HAS NO COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE IN SPORTS, AND HAVE SIMILAR STRENGTHS AND ENDURANCE TO CIS GENDER WOMEN.

ANDREW BOWEN, KPBS NEWS.

>> THE U.S.

LIFTS ITS BLOCKADE AS PART OF THE PRELIMINARY DEAL WITH IRAN.

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

>>> PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP OFFICIALLY SIGNED THE AGREEMENT WITH IRAN TO PROCESS THE LADIES.

BUT A MORE DIFFICULT PHASE OF NEGOTIATIONS IS SET TO BEGIN AS THE CLOCK IS TICKING TO FINALIZE A DEAL WITHIN 60 DAYS.

BRIAN HAS THE LATEST FROM WASHINGTON.

>>> AT THE PALACE OF BURSAE IN FRANCE, PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP, SIGNING THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE U.S.

AND IRAN.

WITH THE IRANIAN PRESIDENT ALSO SENDING A HARD COPY, THE AGREEMENT STOPS HOSTILITIES BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES FOR NOW AND MAKES WAY FOR THE STRATA FOR MS.

TO REOPEN.

IT ALSO -- TO WORK TOWARDS FINAL TERMS OF A BROADER AGREEMENT.

>> I'VE SEEN SKEPTICS OF THE DEAL.

PEOPLE SAY THE IRANIANS WILL NEVER CHANGE THEIR BEHAVIOR.

WELL, MAYBE THAT'S TRUE.

IF SO, THEY DON'T GET THE BENEFITS OF THE BARGAIN, BUT ISN'T IT WORTH TRYING?

>> THE PLAN PAVES THE WAY FOR LASTING PEACE.

DESPITE EVERYTHING I'VE HEARD ABOUT IT CAUSES CONCERN.

SOME SET OF REPUBLICANS SAY THEY ARE UNSURE WHETHER THE AGREEMENT ACHIEVES THE U.S.

IS STATED GOALS AT THE START OF THE WAR.

>> THE PRESIDENT IS NOT RISK- AVERSE.

YOU'VE GOT TO GIVE HIM CREDIT.

HE'S PUT IT ALL ON THE LINE.

>> THE AGREEMENT CALLS THE U.S.

TO WAIVE SANCTIONS SO IRAN CAN SELL ITS OIL AND CONVINCE U.S.

AND REGIONAL PARTNERS TO BUILD A $300 BILLION RECONSTRUCTION FUND FOR IRAN.

IN WASHINGTON, BRIAN ABEL, KPBS NEWS.

>>> THE NEXT PHASE OF TALKS ARE SAID TO BEGIN FRIDAY IN SWITZERLAND.

>>> CALIFORNIA VOTERS WILL GET TO DECIDE WHETHER TO IMPOSE A TAX ON BILLIONAIRES THIS NOVEMBER.

THE MEASURE IS SET TO APPEAR ON THE GENERAL ELECTION BALLOT.

SECRETARY OF STATE SHIRLEY WEBER SAID THE BALLOT QUESTION HAS MET THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF SIGNATURES.

IT WOULD IMPOSE A UP TO 5% TAX ON PEOPLE TRUSTS.

90% OF REVENUE WILL GO TO HEALTHCARE.

GOVERNOR NEWSOM ARGUE IT COULD COST TECH ENTREPRENEURS AND THEIR BUSINESSES TO LEAVE THE STATE.

>>> MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ARE EXPECTED TO TRAVEL FOR THE JULY 4th HOLIDAY.

AAA ESTIMATES THIS ONE TO BE ONE FOR THE RECORD BOOKS.

IF YOU'RE HITTING THE ROAD, PRICES AT THE PUMP ARE COMING DOWN.

JENN SULLIVAN HAS DETAILS ON GAS PRICES AHEAD OF INDEPENDENCE DAY.

>>> HIGH GAS PRICES AREN'T PUTTING THE BRAKES ON JULY 4th TRAVEL.

AAA ESTIMATES MORE THAN 72 MILLION PEOPLE WILL TRAVEL 50 MILES OR MORE THIS YEAR TO CELEBRATE.

>> GAS PRICES HAVEN'T DETERRED MANY PEOPLE AND KEPT THEM HOME FROM TRAVEL.

>> THE MAJORITY OF TRAVELERS WILL DRIVE TO THEIR DESTINATION.

MORE THAN 61 MILLION HITTING THE ROAD.

THE GOOD NEWS IS GAS PRICES HAVE STARTED TO COME DOWN.

AS OF WEDNESDAY, THE NATIONAL AVERAGE WAS $4.03.

IT'S $.48 LESS THAN A MONTH AGO BUT STILL MUCH HIGHER THAN THE $3.15 PRICES DRIVERS WERE PAYING DURING JULY 4th WEEKEND LAST YEAR.

>> WE ARE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO GET THAT LOW BUT IF WE COULD GET BELOW FOUR DOLLARS A GALLON FOR THE NATIONAL AVERAGE, THAT WOULD BE AN IMPROVEMENT FOR DRIVERS.

>> SINCE THE WAR WITH IRAN BEGAN AT THE END OF FEBRUARY, GAS PRICES HAVE SOARED MORE THAN 30% DUE TO IRAN HALTING MARITIME TRAFFIC IN THE STRATA FORM IS.

EVEN WHEN AN AGREED INTO THE WAR IS FINALIZED, CONSUMERS WON'T SEE RELIEF OVERNIGHT.

>> OUT UNDERNEATH IT ALL, WE HAVE A SUPPLY SHORTAGE.

IT IS GOING TO TAKE MONTHS TO RETURN BACK TO NORMALITY.

>> OPEC EXPERT KARINA PARKER SAYS IT WILL TAKE A WHILE FOR COMPANIES TO RESTART OIL PRODUCTION, WHICH IS WHITE PRICES AT THE PUMP WILL SLOWLY COME DOWN.

FOR CONSUMER WATCH, I'M JENN SULLIVAN.

>>> AND HE IS A QUICK CHECK ON LOCAL GAS PRICES.

ACCORDING TO AAA, THE AVERAGE PRICE FELL TO $5.68 AND THAT MARKS THE 27th DROP IN THE LAST 28 DAYS.

IT'S ALSO THE LOWEST AMOUNT SINCE MARCH 18th.

IT'S NEARLY $.15 LESS THAN A WEEK AGO AND $.49 LESS THAN ONE MONTH AGO.

AS PART OF KPBS'S AMERICA 250 INITIATIVE, WE ARE EXPLORING THE STORIES THAT SHAPED OUR NATION AND OUR REGION.

HERE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, THE -- NATION SURVIVED AND THRIVED WITH THE LAND.

EUROPEAN EMPIRES WOULD SEIZE THE LAND AND DISPLACE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES.

HISTORIC PLACES HOST ELSA SEVERE HAS THE STORY OF TWO WORLDS MOVING FORWARD ON VERY DIFFERENT PATHS.

>> OF THE FIRST PEOPLES OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA LIVED IN HARMONY WITH THE LAND PRE- CONTACT BUT ACROSS THE ATLANTIC, POWERFUL FORCES WERE BUILDING AS EUROPEAN NATIONS FOUGHT FOR POWER, WEALTH, AND CONTROL.

THEY LOOKED TO THE WEST TO EXPAND INTO WHAT THEY CALLED THE NEW WORLD.

NOW, NORTH AMERICA, OR INDIGENOUS NATIONS HAD LONG BEEN IN THEIR TERRITORIES, STEWARDING THE LAND FOR MILLENNIA.

>> THOSE WARS, THOSE CONFLICTS, PROTESTANT VERSUS CATHOLIC CALL OF THOSE THINGS THAT WERE BEING PLAYED OUT IN EUROPE FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS ARE NOT GOING TO MANIFEST THEMSELVES IN WHAT WAS CALLED THE NEW WORLD.

SO EACH ONE OF THESE PEOPLE, EACH ONE OF THESE CULTURES, THESE COUNTRIES, FOR NATIONALISM OR FOR RELIGION WANT TO GET OVER TO THE NEW WORLD AND CLAIMANT FOR THEMSELVES.

AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

>> EUROPEAN POWERS BEGAN ENCROACHING ACROSS NORTH AMERICA.

SPAIN INVADED WHAT IS NOW MEXICO IN 1519.

THE FRENCH ENCROACH ON WHAT IS NOW CANADA IN 1534, AND SPAIN LATER OCCUPIED WHAT IS NOW FLORIDA IN 1565 GRID THE ENGLISH OCCUPIED WHAT IS NOW JAMESTOWN IN 1607 AND PLYMOUTH IN 1620.

>> SO EVERY EUROPEAN COUNTRY WAS -- WITH A NAVY AT LEAST, FRANCE, ENGLAND, SPAIN, PORTUGAL, WANTED THEIR PIECE OF THE ACTION.

IF YOU ARE A CATHOLIC NATION, THE POPE BASICALLY ISSUED A BOWL, A BULLETIN SAYING YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO THIS.

IT IS THE DIVINE RIGHT, THE RIGHT OF DISCOVERY, SO GO FORTH.

>> IN 1542, SPANISH SHIPS ARRIVED IN -- AND CLAIMED THE LAND FOR SPAIN.

>> THINGS GOT NAMED HERE ON OUR CONTINENT, ENGLAND.

NEW SPAIN.

NEW ENGLAND.

NEW BEDFORD.

IN THE BRITISH AND SPANISH MIND, THIS IS AN EXTENSION OF THEIR AWFULLY SMALL COUNTRIES.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE TERRITORY THEY ARE ABOUT THE CLAIM.

>> ACROSS BOTH COASTS, THE IMPACT FOLLOWED A FAMILIAR PATTERN.

DISEASES KILLED THOUSANDS.

LAND WAS TAKEN.

INDIGENOUS NATIONS WERE FORCED INTO NEW SYSTEMS.

SPAIN SOUGHT CONTROL IN ASSIMILATION WHILE BRITAIN PUSHED EXPANSION AND DISPLACEMENT TO TAKE INDIGENOUS TERRITORY.

>> FOR US, IT WAS SIMPLY SLAVERY AND YES, WE WERE ALLOWED TO LEAVE SOMETIMES BUT NOT PERMANENT.

BECAUSE IF YOU WERE BAPTIZED, YOU ARE THEN PROPERTY OF THE SPANISH CROWN AND COULD NOT LEAVE.

SO SAY AN INDIAN WAS BAPTIZED AND TRIED TO LEAVE PERMANENTLY, THE SOLDIERS WOULD COME GET THEM.

>> THESE WERE NOT ISOLATED EVENTS BUT PART OF A ARCHER PATTERN UNFOLDING ACROSS NORTHERN AMERICA.

EUROPEAN EMPIRES WERE DRIVEN BY COMPETITION, POWER, AND GREED, OVERTAKING INDIGENOUS NATIONS.

CHANGE WAS ALREADY UNDERWAY, RESHAPING THEIR WORLD LONG BEFORE THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION BEGAN.

>> AND THAT WAS A SEGMENT FROM ELSA SEVILLA'S HISTORIC PLACES, THE PEOPLE OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BEFORE 1775 YOU CAN STREAM THE FULL UPSET ANY TIME ON KPBS PLUS.

>>> THE AND A REAL 250, SAN DIEGO'S FIRST NASCAR RACE ON A MILITARY BASE.

KPBS REPORTER ANGIE DYER SAYS IT'S AMONG THE BIGGEST EVENTS YOU WILL SEE ON THE BASE.

AND CAL TRAN RECOMMENDS PLANNING ACCORDINGLY.

>> CRUISE CONTINUE TO BUILD THE RACECOURSE AND SUPPORT STRUCTURES.

THREE RACES ARE BEING HELD FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.

THE EVENT IS A FIRST FOR THE NAVY.

THE RACE AND THAT THEY'S ALSO PRESENT FIRST TIME CHALLENGES FOR NASCAR.

>> YOU KNOW, THESE GUYS DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS EVENT BUT THEY EMBRACED IT HOLY AS THEIR OWN.

>> KING IS THE TRACK CAR PRESIDENT FOR THE RACE.

CRUISE HAS BEEN MAKING SURE THE BASE IS READY FOR THE WEEKEND.

>> THEY HAVE BEEN WELDING MANHOLE COVERS AND HELPING THE COURSE.

>> IT IS A STREET COURSE OVER THE BASE.

>> THE BASE WAS BUILT IN 1917 SO IT'S NOT THE NEWEST FACILITY AND THERE HAVE DEFINITELY BEEN FERRYING LEVELS OF ROADS AND ASPHALT AND TERRAIN, AND OUR DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT TEAM HAVE DONE A PHENOMENAL JOB WORKING HAND-IN-HAND WITH THE NAVY.

THE SEABEES, THE CONSTRUCTION CREW OF THE NAVY, THEY ARE TRULY BUILDING THE COURSE WITH US.

>> NORMAL NAVY BUSINESS CONTINUES ELSEWHERE ON BASE BUT YOU CAN'T MISS THE TRANSFORMATION FROM THEIR STATION TO RACE TRACK.

>> THE LIEUTENANT SAID YOU GUYS DID SUCH A GREAT JOB OF PAVING THAT NOW WE HAVE SAILORS THINKING THEY ARE DRIVING THE NASCAR TRACK AND SPEEDING THROUGH THAT AREA.

SO I THINK MAYBE OUR TEAM DID TOO GOOD OF A JOB.

>> TO AVOID CORONADO THIS WEEKEND.

IT EXPECTS ON DELAYS ON THE SAN DIEGO CORONADO BRIDGE AND SAID TO EXPECT THE SPILLOVER TRAFFIC TO IMPACT THEIR --.

ANDREW DYER, KPBS NEWS.

>> THOSE LOAD -- LOW CLOUDS SPREADING INLAND AS THE MARINE LAYER SPREADS TONIGHT AND TOMORROW MORNING.

THE DESERT REGIONS, 35 UP TO EVEN 55 MILES PER HOUR GUSTS.

MAINLY 30 TO 40 BUT WE CAN SEE THE SHOULDER ONCE COMING OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST.

TEMPERATURES, THEY ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO BOUNCE AROUND.

WE ARE ON THE DOWNTREND THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, BUT WE WARM BACK UP NEXT WEEK.

IT DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU ARE PREVIOUS CLOSER TO THE COAST, THAT MARINE LAYER IS HELPING US OUT.

LET'S TALK ABOUT TONIGHT OVERALL.

A LITTLE BIT WARMER IN SAN DIEGO.

67 IN -- SPRINGS.

WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW, WELL, TAKE A LOOK.

A LOT OF US DOING WITH SOME CLOUDS, BUT NOTHING MAJOR.

WE ARE OUT OF THE TRIPLE DIGITS.

THAT IS SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE.

IT IS 99.

HE DOESN'T FEEL MUCH DIFFERENT BUT WE'LL WILL TAKE IT.

67 AT MT.

LAGUNA.

TAKING A LOOK AT OUR NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, WELL ALONG THE COAST, LIKE I SAID, THE MARINE LAYER HELPS A SEPARATE 73 TO 75 FRIDAY TO SUNDAY.

GET OUTSIDE.

ENJOY IT.

WE CAN DEAL WITH SOME INTERMITTENT CLOUDS.

STARTING AT NIGHT AND INTO THE MORNING, YOU WILL HAVE MORE OF THE LOW CLOUDS.

THERE IS FRIDAY.

IT DOESN'T LAST LONG.

WE WILL GET BACK TO NORMAL HERE, BUT WE WILL SEE THAT WARMING TREND STARTING SUNDAY.

SO WE ARE COOLER SATURDAY, A FEW DEGREES WARMER SUNDAY.

BACK TO THE 80s BY TUESDAY.

MOUNTAINS, REMEMBER, THE WIND FRIDAY, THAT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE YOUR BIGGEST IMPACT.

TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 60s.

WE GET TO 70 BY SUNDAY AND 79 BY TUESDAY.

THERE'S A TEMPERATURE SWING.

THERE'S THE ROLLER COASTER I'M TALKING ABOUT.

WE GO TO OUR DESERT REGIONS, WELL, THE 99, THEY DON'T LAST TOO LONG.

WE ARE BACK TO THE TRIPLE DIGITS BY SUNDAY.

BACK TO 105 BY THE TIME WE GET TO TUESDAY.

FRIDAY, YOU WILL HAVE SOME ABILITY TO DEAL WITH AS WELL SO SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND BUT HEY, YOU KNOW IT, SUMMER, IT'S A MUST HERE AND ACTUALLY, THIS WEEKEND, THE OFFICIALLY ASTRONOMICAL SUMMER, AND BOY DOES IT FEEL LIKE IT.

FOR MAGA, I AM -- >>> YOU CAN HEAR MORE ABOUT THAT AND OTHER EVENTS HAPPENING ON OUR SAN DIEGO NEWS NOW PODCAST.

IT GOES LIVE MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AT 5:00 A.M.

YOU CAN FIND IT ANYWHERE YOU LISTEN TO PODCASTS.

SAN DIEGO HAS ONE OF THE BUSIEST SKIES AND HE WAS WITH THOUSANDS OF PLANES FLYING DAILY.

THE COUNTY IS HOME TO COMMERCIAL FIRES, ENTHUSIASTS, AND AERO PETS.

IN PART TWO OF A THREE-PART SERIES, KPBS JOURNALIST CHARLOTTE TALKS TO AN 18-YEAR- OLD WOMAN WHO IS CONTINUING A TRADITION STARTED BY AMELIA EARHART.

>> THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MAN AND A WOMAN PILOT IS THAT WOMEN HAVE HAD A LOT SHORTER TIME HISTORICALLY TO GET TO WHERE WE ARE NOW AND WE ARE STILL GROWING WITHIN THE AVIATION INDUSTRY.

WOMEN IN AVIATION ONLY MAKE UP 10% OF ALL PILOTS AND AS AN 18- YEAR-OLD WITH A PRIVATE PILOT LICENSE AND AN INSTRUMENT RATING, THAT PERCENTAGE SHRINKS EVEN SMALLER, SO, WE ARE USED TO WORKING ON BEING THE BEST WE CAN BE AS WOMEN.

FEELING THE NEED TO PROVE OURSELVES THAT WE BELONG IN THIS SPACE, WE ARE USED TO WORKING WITH EACH OTHER AND THAT'S WHY I THINK OUR SUPPORT GROUPS ARE SO TIGHTKNIT, ESPECIALLY AS WOMEN, WE WANT TO SEE EACH OTHER SUCCEED, AND WE WANT TO HELP EVERYBODY.

AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT MAKES WOMEN IN AVIATION SO GREAT.

>> THE 99 IS AN ORGANIZATION OF WOMEN THAT WAS FORMED.

IN THE AREA EARHART WAS ONE OF THE FOUNDING MEMBERS.

THERE WERE 99 WOMEN IN A HANKER NOT UNLIKE THIS ANGER.

IT WAS AN ORGANIZATION OF WOMEN PILOTS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT EACH OTHER BECAUSE THEY WERE SO FEW WOMEN PILOTS AT THAT TIME.

>> SAID THIS IS THAT 99th PINS.

THESE WERE MY WINGS FOR WHEN I GOT MY FIRST SOLO DONE AND MY PRIVATE PILOT CERTIFICATE, AND THEN THIS AS WELL IS A SYMBOL OF THE 99.

>> WOMEN IN AVIATION AND THE 99 HAVE BEEN GREAT, GREAT GROUPS, AND I'VE ALSO USED MY AVIATION KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE TO BUILD AND AVIATION CLUB AT SCRIPPS RANCH HIGH SCHOOL.

IT'S REALLY UP TO WHAT YOU LIKE.

I FEEL LIKE THERE ARE A LOT MORE PATHWAYS THAT ARE NORMALIZED FOR AIRLINE PILOTING SPECIFICALLY.

I THINK THAT IS THE FUNNEL MOST SCHOOLS WILL LEAD YOU TO AND THAT'S THE MOST COMMON PILOT WE SEE.

THE PUBLIC INTERACTS WITH CAPTAINS AND FIRST OFFICERS MORE THAN THEY DO ANY OTHER SORT OF PILOT I WOULD SAY.

>> AND CHARLOTTE PRODUCED THAT STORY.

SHE INTRODUCES US TO AN ATHLETE THAT IS BREAKING BARRIERS IN AVIATION.

HERE'S WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT TOMORROW ON NPR'S MORNING EDITION.

THE FDA IS CONSIDERING THE FIRST FLU VACCINE THAT USES THE SAME ANALOGY AS COVID-19 SHOTS.

AND KPBS ROUNDTABLE IS HIGHLIGHTING STORYTELLERS.

TOMORROW, THEY SIT DOWN FOR AN INTERVIEW WITH PARKER EDISON.

FIND STORIES ON OUR WEBSITE, KPBS.ORG.
