Please be a good neighbor and keep the streets clear. Items used to save spots may be removed. Thank you for your cooperation! 🏘️🤝

🧨 Fireworks might look pretty, but illegal fireworks pose a serious danger to our community!

As we approach the Fourth of July, remember that illegal fireworks can cause devastating injuries, start fires and cause distress to pets and neighbors.

Remember, if it goes up in the air or explodes, it is illegal in California. Let's celebrate responsibly. 🎆

Finding a spot can be tough, but parking on front lawns causes mud and poor water drainage.

This week's Parking 101 provides a quick refresher on 's residential rules:
Off-street parking must be on approved hard surfaces like concrete or asphalt 🏡
Vehicles cannot be parked on grass lawns or unpaved dirt patches 🛑
Exceptions may be made during authorized street sweeping times 🧹

Questions or need to report a parking issue? Call Public Safety at (562) 220-2002. 📞

Let's work together to keep our streets clear and accessible for everyone!

Coyote safety starts in our own backyards, ! 🏡

Coyotes are naturally wary of people, but easy food and hiding spots can bring them closer to our homes. Taking a few simple steps can prevent unwanted encounters and keep everyone safe:

Never leave pet food outside and keep trash cans tightly sealed 🗑️
Keep cats indoors and supervise dogs closely when outdoors 🐾
If a coyote approaches, stand tall, wave your arms and shout 🗣️
