On March 21, the City Council will hold a public hearing to solicit feedback on the Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the proposed Portuguese Bend Landslide Remediation Project, a $33 million public works project that aims to significantly slow the continuously moving landslide. The hearing will include a presentation of the findings of the Draft EIR, an informational report that studies how a proposed major construction project could affect the environment.
The hybrid in-person/virtual meeting will take place at 7 p.m. in McTaggart Hall at Hesse Park and via Zoom. Watch live on the City website or on RPVtv Cox 33/Frontier FiOS 38.
