Little snow and rain mean drought - fire danger, calls for water conservation in California FacebookTwitterEmail California’s wet season is coming to a close without a much-sought “March miracle” storm, setting the stage for a painful escalation of drought in the coming months. The April 1 snow survey, which measures the peak accumulation of snow in the Sierra and southern Cascades just before it melts, will show only about 60% of average snowpack.

The task force charged with helping the Napa Valley Unified School District adjust its budget to a contracting student body is turning its attention to a host of options that would shutter one of four middle schools in the city of Napa before the 2022-23 academic year but keep open Harvest on Old Sonoma Road, which hosts a dual English-Spanish curriculum and a student body more than three-quarters Latino. ....
Napaâs next general plan could open the way to a new look for the cityâs major avenues that eventually would include wider sidewalks, easier bicycling, and more housing blended with local businesses.

An emphasis was placed on mixing residential and business uses on such key routes â as well as including wider sidewalks, safer bicycle corridors, and other steps to encourage more residents to live close to their work. ....
