••• Press release from the county: “In response to requests from personal care practitioners desiring to move some of their activities outdoors, Governor Newsom announced today that State of California guidelines have been modified to allow some personal care activities to occur in outside locations. Prior to the issuance of new guidelines, barbershops and hair salons were required by the State of California to remain closed. State law and regulations required that certain personal care services must occur within an indoor licensed setting. Other personal care services, such as nail salon services and massages, are also authorized by the State for re-opening outdoors. Piercing, tattoo and electrolysis services are still prohibited from re-opening at this time.”

••• Also from Caltrans: The agency is seeking public input on the Santa Ynez River Trail Alignment Study: “The project’s objective is to determine potential alignments for a multimodal trail [for bicyclists, pedestrians, and equestrians] to connect the cities of Buellton and Solvang. A public workshop was tentatively scheduled to occur in early April; however, the Covid-19 public health crisis necessitated the need to develop an alternative means to gather public input. A project story map with an embedded survey has been created and is available at this link. The site will be available for public input from July 15–August 14, 2020. […] In addition to this platform, additional comments may be emailed to Jared Carvalho at [email protected], mailed to SBCAG at 260 N. San Antonio Road, Suite B, Santa Barbara, CA 93110. The project team is also available to connect via telephone to discuss this project. Please call SBCAG at 805-961-8900, leave a message and your call will be returned in a timely manner. The study is being conducted through a partnership of SBCAG, the cities of Buellton and Solvang, and the County of Santa Barbara.”
