New watering limits
As of March 1, homeowners and property owners can water their lawns up to three days per week under the City of Morgan Hill’s watering restrictions.
Days are determined by your address: odd addresses and properties with no address may water Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays; even numbered addresses may water Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
Watering is limited to a maximum of 15 minutes per zone or valve. Watering may occur before 9am and after 7pm.
Public input sought for traffic plan
Caltrans is inviting public input to identify infrastructure investments that will improve access to transit, encourage its use and augment its speed and reliability.
An online public survey includes asking participants to rank potential transit improvements in order of preference.
To increase speed and reliability of transit trips, for instance, the poll asks users to rank which things they’d like to see more: managed lanes, transit signal priority, bus-on-shoulder, queue-jump lanes or dedicated transit lanes.
The survey can be taken at https://caltransbayareatransitplan.org/.
The survey is also posted on the Caltrans website and is available in English, Spanish and Chinese.
Groups or organizations that would like to request a presentation on the transit plan are invited to contact Tyler Brown at ty*********@do*.gov
