A reminder that the City has coordinated with San Mateo County to provide a Mobile COVID-19 Testing Site every Sunday at the City parking lot at the Francisco/Salada intersection in West Sharp Park. Frequent COVID testing is an important part of our collective on-going fight against the virus and continuing to make progress in reopening. Under our current progress, the county could potentially move to the most lenient tier, Yellow, by May 4th.

The week of April 26 brings a couple important meetings. First, at the April 26 City Council Meeting there will be an informational study session about housing, specifically focused on explaining the requirements of the City’s Housing Element Annual Progress Report and the process and timeline for developing the 2023-2031 Housing Element Update. Also at the April 26th meeting, the Council will be providing input on the final conceptual design for the Civic Center renovation project, and considering the funding strategy for this project.

Then, on April 29, the fourth public workshop about the Beach Boulevard Infrastructure Resiliency Project will be held. This workshop will focus on explaining how various design alternatives were developed and evaluated; it will be a great opportunity to learn more and provide your input. Staff have released the Draft Alternative Analysis Report, which will also be discussed. RSVP here to attend.

Join us on Monday, April 26th, for a Pacifica-specific City Council Study Session on the Housing Element Annual Progress Report (APR) and the 2023-2031 Housing Element Update project. No registration required. Please see the agenda for the meeting.

Last summer, the City delayed a section of the City’s slurry seal resurfacing project on Terra Nova and Oddstad Boulevard to allow PG&E to trench these sections of roadway to complete a gas line upgrade. PG&E has completed their gas line work and is scheduled to complete the slurry seal operations on April 26th along the following locations:

In addition to the slurry seal, PG&E will also install a Class II bike lane along Terra Nova Boulevard and Oddstad Boulevard, essentially continuing the bike layouts that were installed last year through the City’s Slurry Seal Contract. Lastly, the traffic pavement markings will be refreshed including the crosswalks. The overall work is scheduled to be completed by late May 2021.
