Property development
- A permit application has been filed for a project at 70 Sunset Beach Rd. in Watsonville, proposing to replace a failed agricultural well near San Andreas Road with a new well located approximately 700 feet south, adjacent to Sunset Beach Drive. The new well is intended to support ongoing agricultural operations at the property. Because the site is within the coastal zone, approval of a Coastal Development Permit is required before work can proceed. (view details)
Roadwork is affecting traffic in the region
- Overnight lane closures will continue on Highway 1 at Mar Vista Drive in Aptos today. Both northbound and southbound traffic will be reduced to one lane due to construction of a pedestrian overcrossing.
