October 10 Regular MCC Meeting is postponed to October 17

There will be no MCC meeting on our regular meeting date, October 10.  This meeting has been postponed to October 17.

The reason for this change is that the County will provide an updated draft Highway 1 Study and Action Plan to the MCC by 10/17, giving the community the opportunity for preliminary review/discussion in preparation for the regular 10/24 MCC meeting which Supervisor Horsley and Steve Monowitz will attend to discuss Highway 1 and related issues. 

Agenda for October 17 will follow as we get closer to the date.

SamTrans proposes bus service changes.

SamTrans Coastside public meeting - ask questions - give feedback:
