Police report a decrease in DUI arrests
Los Gatos-Monte Sereno police reported 30 drunken driving arrests between Dec. 14 and Jan. 2 as part of the countywide Avoid the 13 Campaign. According to Sgt. Dave Gravel, the decrease in arrests by four followed the county's decrease in total arrests from 890 last year to 820 this year.
The department reported no injury or fatality collisions during the campaign, as opposed to 2000, when there was one alcohol-related injury crash. Gravel says that the hope is that next year the arrests will decrease further, since the number had increased significantly between 1999 to 2000, from six arrests to 34.
Monte Sereno returns to topic of traffic light
The Monte Sereno City Council is expected to revisit the issue of pedestrian-activated lights near the intersection of Winchester Boulevard and Daves Avenue at its Jan. 15 meeting. In December, council members commissioned an engineer to look at the feasibility of such lights and explore other alternatives.
The meeting will start at 7:30 p.m. and take place at the Monte Sereno City Council Chambers at 18041 Saratoga-Los Gatos Road. Contact city hall at 408.354.7635 for more information.
