- ➤ Local roads in the valley follow a grid correction system that dates back to Thomas Jefferson’s plan—standard lines appear every 24 miles from Mount Diablo, causing roads like Herndon Avenue to curve near these markers. This historical grid practice, which also influences roads such as 7th Standard Road and County Line Road, continues to shape how we travel today. KVPR
GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ Fresno Fire Department donated 17 pallets of firefighting equipment — including self-contained breathing apparatus units that no longer meet US OSHA standards but remain functional — to support first responders in Guadalajara, Mexico. The donation was made in partnership with the Mexican Consulate and aims to strengthen collaboration between the two fire departments. GV Wire
- ➤ Fresno Unified School District clarified that board members did not give unofficial permissions to staff for settling with Ms. Henry and that Chief of Human Resources David Chavez had full board authority to negotiate the settlement following proper government codes.
