As the company’s service area expands Waymo is working with local nonprofits to understand how its autonomous driving technology can benefit the unique communities where it operates In Daly City, Waymo is partnering with Daly City Partnership a local nonprofit where the caring staff and volunteers know the dynamism and diversity of this tight-knit community well “The challenges facing our communities range from poverty to being a first-time immigrant and housing insecurity,” explained Mike Stancil executive director of Daly City Partnership Daly City Partnership provides rental assistance and food distribution programs to help its community members – 60% of whom live below the poverty level of Area Median Income – make ends meet Other youth- and family-focused programs include after school enrichment programming and mental health services said Daly City Partnership has provided her family with clothes Daly City Partnership community member Kimberley receives essential items from the nonprofit and to my kids especially,” Kimberley said and always feel that I'm there for them.”  She said she very much appreciates the friendly and helpful Daly City Partnership staff “They're always trying to see in what way they could help you,” Kimberley said Another of the many ways Daly City Partnership seeks to support the community is through transportation “Whenever we have a transportation benefit that's offered we always have an overabundance of applications beyond what we can offer,” Mike shared and other personal and family obligations is a challenge.” Some community members depend on public transportation to take advantage of the Daly City Partnership's services but available routes can be indirect and do not always accommodate their schedules Mike believes Waymo’s autonomous driving technology can help fill the gaps “Multi-generational families are usually challenged with how and when to get around,” Mike said “ I think Waymo's innovation and technology will really help many in our community.” Mike added that Waymo has also provided support to Daly City Partnership as it works to meet the community’s growing needs in the aftermath of the pandemic as the cost of living continues to increase “We're really appreciative of Waymo stepping up to help with our Family Resource Day,” he said At Daly City Partnership’s Family Resource Day kids are equipped with back-to-school essentials Family Resource Day is one of Daly City Partnership’s flagship programs providing over 300 kids with new backpacks filled with fresh supplies and more in preparation for back-to-school season Waymo sponsored Daly City Partnership’s backpack drive this year helping to ensure that Daly City’s littlest community members have the tools for a successful school year Waymo also invited Daly City Partnership’s community members to ride with Waymo and experience the technology firsthand rode with Waymo in Daly City one beautiful day in September “The Waymo ride today was super exciting,” said Renee who lives with a disability and uses a walker has tried to use other ride-hailing services in the past “There have been inappropriate things said to me and I've been made to feel unsafe.” Renee said that riding with Waymo was wonderful “This was so easy and so exciting for me to know that I can go from point A to point B and have no fear of discrimination because I do have a walker,” she explained “It's exciting to know that I have this freedom.” Nati said she felt safe and secure riding with Waymo. The Waymo Driver is designed to obey speed limits and other rules of the road, stop for pedestrians, and make proactive driving decisions to keep passengers, other drivers, and road users safe “Sometimes people [drivers] are not looking, and Waymo senses it,” Nati observed. “This is a very good invention. A genius invention!” Nati also said she’d recommend riding with Waymo to her friends and family. “It’s safe, and it will get you to where you want to go,” she said. “It's a cool and fun adventure.” Aside from being a fun and comfortable ride, Waymo also expands the number of mobility options for Daly City residents. Waymo operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week in San Francisco, Daly City and Colma, giving residents more choices for transportation in and between the cities. “Being able to have freedom of movement within Daly City I think is really critical for our community,” said Mike. ”Having that level of innovation and change in our community is important.” He added that Waymo’s mission aligns with Daly City Partnership’s work to connect Daly City residents with support and resources. “I hope that Daly City Partnership can help the city of Daly City become the city that we want it to be; a city that has happy, well adjusted, well resourced communities and families.” Mike said. “I hope that it fulfills that promise within the Bay Area: that we treat everybody with respect and dignity.” Justice was apparently finally served after it stumbled the first time around as a man who initially got off on a mistrial was finally convicted and sentenced for killing his wife and then pointing the gun at their four-year-old son We heard the heartbreaking story in November 2021 that a Daly City man shot and killed his estranged wife Lilliam Orozco Zelaya (pictured above) and did so not only with her four-year-old son in the next room but he also pointed the gun at that four-year-old son Eriberto Beltran Arenas thought the estranged wife was dating someone new so he shot her twice in the head and once in the leg learn how sluts die.” He also called Orozco Zelaya’s mother to tell her “I killed the bitch,” and upon Beltran Arenas’s arrest police found he had 18 firearms registered to his name But at Beltran Arenas’s May 2024 murder trial, the jury deadlocked His attorney argued it was a crime of passion and not premeditated leaving jurors unable to agree if this was first-degree murder And the judge declared the whole thing a mistrial But Beltran Arenas was returned to jail, and prosecutors decided to retry the case. They ended up not even having to, because he pleaded no contest to second-degree murder conviction in December 2024. And now the Bay Area News Group reports he’s been sentenced to 15 years to life in prison three additional years for making threats of great bodily injury by pointing the gun at the four-year-old “We’re completely satisfied that justice was done in this case and that justice was obtained for the victim,” San Mateo County District Attorney Stephen Wagstaffe told the News Group Beltran Arenas’s lawyer felt the sentence was excessive as I believe significant mitigating factors warranted a lesser term than the aggravated sentence imposed,” defense attorney Gaby Guraiib said after the sentencing Beltran pled guilty to second-degree murder after a mistrial thereby imposing a life sentence upon himself.” the mother who received that awful-post murder phone call in November 2021 had her own statement read before the sentencing my life was shattered,” Lilliyam Zelaya-Urbina said “She had many dreams and hopes… I will never hear my daughter call me ‘mommy’ again.” Related: Mother Shot By Estranged Husband In Daly City While 4-Year-Old Was In Next Room [SFist] Image via GoFundMe A federal judge in San Francisco has ordered six federal agencies to reinstate thousands of probationary employees who were summarily fired or laid off last month A six-year-old child was initially reported dead in a huge Thursday morning fire near San Leandro that sent five people to the hospital Get the latest posts delivered right to your inbox editor / reporter who has been published in almost every San Francisco publication Get all the latest & greatest posts delivered straight to your inbox KRON4 KRON4's Lindsey Ford reports: https://www.kron4.com/?p=2158697&preview=true Made in the Bay Area and being shown on the big screen local filmmakers discuss being featured at SFFilm Festival this year Video shows aftermath of tree crushing San Francisco parklet One man is in jail and another was hospitalized after a seemingly random attack in the Castro on Easter Three people are dead and three more are hospitalized with serious injuries after a Volkswagen Tiguan hit a tree on San Geronimo Valley Road just west of Sir Francis Drake Boulevard shortly before 7:30 p.m San Francisco Fire Department firefighters rescued an injured dog and an uninjured person from a cliffside along Mile Rock Trail in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area Thursday afternoon Bay Area photographer Lani Tinio shared a timelapse of the Moon rising over the Bay Bridge on Sunday with KRON4 and there is no shortage of activities going on around the Bay Area KRON4 Chief Meteorologist Lawrence Karnow has 4 Fun Things going on this weekend TrendingCommercialSan FranciscoAMegamart to open 75,000 sf food complex in Daly CityJagalchi will open grocery store Listen to this article00:001xMegamart USA will soon open a 75,000-square-foot Korean food emporium with a Michelin-starred chef in Daly City The local unit of Seoul-based Megamart will open Jagalchi, a megafood complex inside a former JCPenny store in the Serramonte Center mall at 63 Serramonte Center, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Jagalchi, a potential rival to the popular Korean-focused H Mart supermarket chain The complex, announced in May named after Korea’s largest seafood market a 160-seat restaurant in the center of the store Pogu comes from Jagalchi executive chef Tony Yoo the first chef in Korea to win a Michelin star An adjoining cocktail bar will pour soju and other traditional Korean drinks will focus on baked goods made with rice flour SIGN UPPrepared foods at Jagalchi will include more than 200 banchan A grocery store section will be stocked with everything from dumplings to ramen to Korean beauty products an international Korean supermarket chain with two Bay Area locations Mega Mart is also opening a new store in East Palo Alto After opening the world’s first Jagalchi here — Dana Bartholomew While San Francisco's dense construction and cooler often foggy climate doesn't seem particularly prone to the kinds of wind-driven wildfires we've seen devastate parts of Sonoma County there are a couple of areas that experts have pointed to as being moderate- and high-risk for fire San Francisco tends to feel mostly immune from the panic The effects of the Diablo winds are felt most acutely on hillsides iin the East Bay and North Bay and recent past experience has shown us which areas are particularly vulnerable if a fire gets sparked there during dry conditions Illegal fireworks have also been linked to small brush fires in the middle of the city, including two in July 2022 — one of which There aren't a ton of dry, grassy, "wildlands" spaces in San Francisco prone to fire like that, and these fires were all quickly brought under control.
