Debido al aumento del petróleo en el país, aumenta el precio de la gasolina en el Área de la Bahía. Los condados que la componen han padecido la escalada de los costos por galón del combustible, que ha afectado directamente los bolsillos de los residentes.

El promedio estatal, el más alto de la nación, fue de 4.680 dólares por galón hace una semana; hace un mes era 4.652 dólares y 3.475 hace un año.

En tanto, San Francisco se coloca actualmente como el condado en el área de la Bahía que más ha sufrido el encarecimiento de la gasolina, al registrar un costo de 4.892 dólares por galón.

Los conductores han visto cómo aumenta el precio de la gasolina en el Área de la Bahía, sobre todo en Napa, Sonoma y San Mateo, quienes siguen a San Francisco en costos.

Aumenta el precio de la gasolina en el Área de la Bahía, sin embargo, solo el condado de Solano tuvo un precio promedio más bajo que el promedio estatal, y la diferencia fue tan solo por un centavo, según las cifras del lunes del sitio web de la Asociación de Automóviles de América en gasprices.aaa.com.

Precios promedio de gasolina regular en dólares por galón en condados de la región es de 4.892 para San Francisco; 4.885 en Napa; 4.862 en Sonoma; 4.832 en San Mateo; 4.809 en Marín; 4.794 para San Benito; 4.781 en Monterrey; 4.759 en Santa Clara; 4.757 para Alameda; 4.748 en Contra Costa; 4.718 en Santa Cruz; y 4.693 en Solano.

Las cosas no pintan bien en todo el estado, pues los automovilistas de California están pagando dos centavos más por un galón de gasolina regular que hace un mes, ya que el promedio estatal subió a 4.702 dólares por galón.

Cabe resaltar que el promedio nacional es de 3.488 dólares por galón, casi cinco centavos más que hace una semana y 18 centavos más que hace un mes. El promedio nacional hace un año era de 2.505 dólares por galón, lo que representa un aumento de 98 centavos.

Y es que, el crudo ha marcado una fuerte alza empujado, principalmente, por una posible invasión de Ucrania por parte de Rusia, en la cual, EE. UU. busca jugar un papel protagónico.

After a fire broke out at a Redwood City campground on the Hazel and Linden sides of Woodside Road and El Camino Cloverleaf on the evening of Feb. 13, authorities said there were no injuries.

The city said the fire occurred at 1:35 p.m. and the fire investigator cleared the scene at 5:06 p.m. 

Fortunately, there were no injuries in the fire at a Redwood City campground, but there was property damage to a fence on a residential property adjacent to four complexes, and two cars also sustained minor damage due to heat exposure. 

Five propane tanks were recovered at the scene; however, they were not involved in the fire that damaged tents, mattresses and personal property. 

While the investigation into the fire at a Redwood City campground was complete, the exact cause was considered undetermined.

In a statement, the city noted that it has been actively coordinating with the state Department of Transportation (CalTrans) for months, as many encampments in Redwood City are located on its property, as was the case in the most recent incident.

“We are calling on CalTrans to come to the table this week with our city and our legislative representatives to develop an immediate plan to protect our community from the health and safety issues created by encampments on their lands,” said Redwood City Mayor Giselle Hale.

"Fortunately, there were no injuries as a result of this fire, but we need immediate action to prevent future incidents," he added.

In addition, he said, the city has arranged for civilian homeless outreach workers to regularly visit the encampment and provide resources to the homeless. 

Representatives from LifeMoves, the Downtown Streets Team and the city's mental health clinic, Patricia Baker, have been conducting outreach activities at this location, as well as at the other encampments in the cloverleaf. 

Housing affordability and scarcity were the top community concerns identified in a recent community survey.

After securing the perimeter and deploying the SWAT team, police officers arrested a man for shooting at a car in San Mateo County on Monday and safely took him into custody without incident.

This was reported by the San Mateo County Police Department (SMPD), who detailed that on Monday, February 14 at 11:21 a.m., officers were sent to the area of S. Norfolk St. and Kehoe Av. because a subject on foot randomly shot at a passing vehicle and fled south on Norfolk Street.

Officers immediately responded to the area where they encountered the victim and confirmed that the vehicle had been shot at multiple times, and shell casings were also found nearby.

The SMPD statement said that after learning of the incident, the search for the suspect immediately began, as officers were informed of a subject who matched his description and was seen in the Parkside Plaza area. 

Officers responded to the area and established a perimeter around the mall, S. Norfolk St. and Fashion Island Blvd., as well as the dirt slope adjacent to Highway 101, however, the subject was not located.

Following these actions, detectives quickly joined their fellow officers in canvassing the area for video evidence along S. Norfolk St., and while interviewing potential witnesses, the identity of the shooter was determined. 

With that information, detectives issued a search warrant for his residence and called in the SWAT team, because the suspect was believed to be armed.

While waiting for the search warrant to be authorized, the subject returned to the home and was contacted by waiting patrol officers. 

A man was arrested for shooting at a car in San Mateo County safely and without incident. Identified as William “Billy” Boulier, 38, he was arrested for assault with a firearm and transported and booked into the local jail.

“SMPD reminds our citizens that you are our ‘eyes and ears’ in the community. The security footage provided us with a wealth of information in this case,” the statement said.

In response, they called on residents to invest in a surveillance camera system, as it is beneficial in stopping criminals.

They also called on those who already have a home security system to register it with the SMPD on the SMPD website. https://www.cityofsanmateo.org/2726/Security-Camera-Registration. 

They also suggested that those who want to join the “Neighborhood Watch” program visit the website https://www.cityofsanmateo.org/675/Neighborhood-Watch-Program or send an email to Neighborhoodwatch@cityofsanmateo.org.
