Flood system evaluation
The Zone 7 Water Agency is set to discuss the results of its systemwide flood protection evaluation at next week’s Board of Directors meeting.
The evaluation is part of the Tri-Valley agency’s efforts to develop a comprehensive Flood Management Plan to guide its flood protection strategy now and into the future.
“Recent flood events have caused widespread damage to Zone 7’s 37-mile flood protection system. Channel bank erosion and sedimentation have led to costly repairs,” officials said. “The current work has focused on a comprehensive update of the hydrologic and hydraulic model that includes updated land use and incorporates the latest climate change factors.”
The public meeting is set for 7 p.m. Wednesday (May 21) in the boardroom at Zone 7 headquarters, 100 N. Canyons Pkwy. in Livermore. To learn more, visit www.zone7water.com/flood-protection.
Wheels route change downtown
The Livermore Amador Valley Transit Agency has started seasonal adjustments to the westbound Route 10R through downtown Pleasanton due to summertime special events and the traffic queue of busy Meadowlark Dairy.
For May, the westbound Route 10R bus stop at Neal and First streets is closed and an alternate temporary stop is marked on First Street at the north end of Lions Wayside Park. Eastbound service is not impacted.
Then from May 31 until the start of school in August, instead of turning onto Neal Street the route will continue south on First Street to Bernal Avenue, to Old Bernal Avenue before reconnecting to Peters Avenue and resuming regular service, Wheels officials said. A slight adjustment will follow after school starts again, and then the route and bus stop will return to normal after the dairy’s summer lines die down and no longer regularly impact bus service.
