The Governor also
announced an emergency allocation of $62 million in one-time funds to local governments implementing Project Roomkey.

After months of
advocacy efforts by the League of California Cities and under the advisement of an
executive order issued by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Oct. 28, Caltrans
released guidelines for cities and counties to issue temporary encroachment permits enabling commercial activities in the state highway right-of-way. The permits will support businesses located along state highways to expand their outdoor dining options onto sidewalks and parking areas, and expand on a safe opportunity for diners to enjoy a meal and help support local businesses struggling with the economic impacts of COVID-19.
