CLEANER PARKS
Do you wonder how Pacific Grove’s parks stay so lovely, including the well trafficked coastline? It’s partly thanks to the efforts of loyal volunteers. You’re invited to join them.
9am-noon Saturday, Aug. 21 and third Saturday of every month. Perkins Park, 946 Ocean View Blvd. Gloves, tools snacks and water provided. To register, visit bit.ly/tPerkinsPark. For more, acolony@cityofpacificgrove.org
BETTER PARKING
Ah, the saga of finding a parking spot. Here’s your opportunity to tell the city of Monterey how that’s going. They are seeking feedback in a survey about parking, intended for both residents and tourists.
Complete the survey online at bit.ly/MontereyParking.
