Greetings!
We hope that you are staying safe amidst the major health issues affecting us all. As of this writing, San Mateo County has not been placed on the Governor’s COVID-19 County watch list. This is a reflection of the diligence of Pacificans and other San Mateo County residents in following COVID-19 protocols. You can read more about current COVID-19 statistics and San Mateo County’s efforts
here. The City of Pacifica has
released a video regarding COVID-19 health tips and City operations during the pandemic. Please stay safe!
The City’s Pavement Rehabilitation project is now underway! Residents utilizing Monterey Road from Oceana Blvd. to Hickey Blvd. can expect construction activities during business hours until late August. The project will rehabilitate the road pavement and increase the safety and aesthetic value of the street and neighborhood. In a possible peek into our transit future, the California High-Speed Rail Authority has announced a public comment period regarding the
San Francisco to San Jose Rail Project Draft Environmental Impact Report. The public comment period began on July 10 and will end on August 24, 2020.
Please note that the July 27, 2020 City Council meeting has been cancelled. The next scheduled City Council is Monday, August 10, 7 PM, please check the agenda for meeting details when it is released on Wednesday, August 5.

It's Wildfire Season
Time to Talk Public Safety Power Shutoff
|
|
|
High temperatures, extreme dryness and record-high winds have created conditions in our state where any spark at the wrong time and place can lead to a major wildfire. If severe weather threatens a portion of the electric system, it may be necessary for PG&E to turn off electricity in the interest of public safety. This is known as a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS).
