Schools have new parking restrictions

Parents of children going to Fisher Middle School and Van Meter School will have to watch out for new parking restrictions before the school year begins. Because of construction near those schools, the town is changing parking along the sidewalk to 15-minute-only slots on weekdays between 7:30 and 9 a.m. and 2 and 3:30 p.m. The streets affected are Fisher Avenue along Fisher Middle School and the Van Meter side of Nino Avenue between Fisher Avenue and Los Gatos Boulevard.
