The City of King is doing everything they can to increase
maintenance of their streets and sidewalks. The King City City Council recently
adopted a 5-year street and sidewalk capital improvement program which was made
possible mostly because of new funding from the Transportation Agency for
Monterey County (TAMC) Measure X sales tax funds and the SB1 increase in the
State Gas Tax. It’s also going to be a priority of future local City General
Fund revenues. The City of King has already begun construction on this year's
street improvements. The 2 road segments determined to be in the worst
condition include Bishop Street and a portion of Bitterwater Road between
Industrial Way and Airport Road. Resurfacing work of Bishop Street took place during the week of July , while work on Bitterwater Road will occur during the week July 23 to July 27. During this period, travel will be limited to one-way traffic at
times when necessary. Therefore, the public is encouraged to prepare for
possible delays. The overall plan proposes to gradually
resurface a few of the worst streets each year, while at the same time applying
slurry seal treatments to streets in better condition to prevent them from
getting to a point where they need to be resurfaced. Slurry seal treatments are
planned for later in the summer in the Rio Vista Drive area neighborhoods, the
Royal Coach neighborhoods, Mildred Avenue north of Broadway Street, Orchard
Street, Copley Street, and a portion of Vanderhurst Avenue and Queen Street
north of King Street. The City's 5-year street
and sidewalk capital improvement program can be viewed on the City's website at

Lake San Antonio Closed Due to Large Scale Fish Die Off; Number of Fish Impacted is Increasing and Reason for Die Off Remains Unknown
July 9, 2024- Out of abundance of caution for public health, County of Monterey Parks is closing the Lake San Antonio facility due to a large-scale fish die off from an unknown cause. On July 5, 2024, Parks staff noticed that dead baitfish, mostly shad, began washing up on the shore around Lake San Antonio and immediately contacted California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to report the situation. At that time, the CDFW fisheries biologist stated the fish die off was most likely due to the high temperatures and low dissolved oxygen level in the water and that the situation most likely did not present a risk to the public. Parks staff also contacted the Water Resources Agency (WRA), State Water Resources Control Board and Environmental Health Bureau. Unfortunately, the fish die off has continued with larger species such as bass, catfish, crappie, carp, and trout being impacted. Attached photos include a 3–4-pound bass. CDFW, WRA and EHB are working together to try to determi
