Summary: Monday, June 9, 2014 Frequent listeners may remember the acronym “NOPOC,” meaning “Neighbors Organized to Protect Our Community.” This grassroots group is hoping to stop, or modify, a proposed PG&E power line project. The proposed new power line would cut through Watsonville, Corralitos, Pleasant Valley, and Day Valley, and tubular steel poles up to 105-feet high would be used. NOPOC thinks there is likely to be a better way. If you are interested, NOPOC is meeting tonight at 6:30 at the Corralitos Cultural Center, 127 Hames Road in Corralitos. You are definitely invited. The “Sustainable Santa Cruz County” transportation and planning program is holding a community meeting tonight, too. It’s at 7:00 p.m. at the Santa Cruz Gardens Elementary School, 8005 Winkle Avenue, Santa Cruz. There is also a meeting on Tuesday, June 10th, again at 7:00 p.m., at St. John’s Episcopal Church, 125 Canterbury Drive in Aptos. Finally, you might want to listen in to the Board’s discussion of the County’s Capital Improvements Program. The Board meets tomorrow. The Capital Improvements Program is the County’s investment strategy for the public infrastructure that supports our local community. There is more information on all of these meetings at kusp.org/landuse. Pick a meeting and get involved!
