• On July 1, 2010, the Foster City Connections Shuttle Red Line will cease operation in the westbound direction due to cuts in the Connections Shuttle budget. Currently, the Connections Shuttle Red Line serves stops in both the eastbound and westbound directions. Beginning July 1, shuttles will no longer make stops along the route from Foster City toward Hillsdale Shopping Center and Hillsdale Caltrain. Eastbound service from the Hillsdale Shopping Center to Bridgepointe Shopping Center through Foster City will remain unchanged. Updated Connections Shuttle schedules will soon be available at City Hall, the Recreation Center, the Foster City Library and Community Center and at Foster City grocery stores. Questions about the schedule changes should be directed to Transportation Intern Teresa Whinery at twhinery@fostercity.org or 286-3248. The Foster City Council approved the changes due to budget constraints.
• The San Mateo City Council voted Monday night to raise sewer service charges by 9 percent over the current rate. The increase is needed to help pay down $23 million in debt service related to the city’s aging infrastructure. The council also voted Monday night to approve a 20 percent increase to the building permit fees and to raise the building service fee from .22 percent to .48 percent of construction valuation. The council also approved a new fee for building reports prepared in response to public requests and a new inspection fee for building permit application files as a result of code enforcement violations.
