The Stockton City Council held a brief special meeting on September 29, 2026, from 7:50 PM to 7:54 PM. The sole agenda item was the removal of a member from the Strong Communities Advisory Committee, but the member had already resigned prior to the meeting, rendering the original action moot. The council instead voted unanimously to accept the resignation.
Hey Stockton. A new traffic beacon is making our busiest streets safer for pedestrians and drivers alike. The city has installed a hawk beacon at Pershing Avenue and Rose Street. The first of eight new locations coming to Stockton. Here's how it works. For pedestrians, quick. You press the button and wait. You'll see the familiar red hand signal and the yellow flashing lights mean a pedestrian has activated the system. Once motorists are stopped, the walk signal appears, and the audio message lets you know it's time to cross. Each side of the crosswalk is equipped with eighty eight compliant sidewalk ramps. When the light changes to flashing red, treat it like a stop sign. Come to a complete stop, and you may proceed with caution if the crosswalk is clear. Defensible space is the area around a building where weeds, vegetation, and other combustible materials have been cleared or properly maintained to help slow the spread of fire to and from the structure. Property owners are responsible for maintaining their properties and keeping them free of weeds and debris. Plan ahead. Avoid the hot, dry hours of the day. Keep a garden hose nearby, as even a small spark can ignite dry weeds and vegetation. Keep weeds and grass cut to six inches or less, especially throughout the summer. Clean your gutters, trim your trees, keep wood piles at least 30 feet from your home, fences, and other buildings. By maintaining defensible space around your home, you can help protect your property and your neighbors from the devastating effects of fire.
