Tis the Season, fa la lock your doors
The holiday season is upon us. As we wrap gifts, send them to our loved ones, and … well who knows what’s next. Alameda Postal Service has had some keys stolen from the mail carriers, we know this is the season that people follow parcel delivery vehicles and do their own porch side shopping, and if you left a gift in the car is it still there? All of this should urge us to be just that little bit more careful as we wind down the year.
Remember, one great gift you can give yourself is the gift of safety:
- Lock your house doors, only open them to people you know.
- Lock your mail boxes and get your mail often.
- Lock your cars and put items out of sight.
- Do you have an option for garage delivery? MYQ is an application that might work for you.
- Be observant of who is around, if people are following you, or if there are strange cars in the neighborhood.
- If people are looking or acting suspicious, call security at 510.865.0417 and report them.
Update on Trees
There have been many homeowners complaining about recent work done by the City of Alameda to trees in our community. Many trees have been drastically pruned and now appear disfigured and unsightly. CHBIOA has written a formal complaint to the City on this matter.
The City has responded and informed us of the following:
- The trees have been pruned to address a fungal infection (Fusarium). There is no treatment that can address this, so the infected portions had to be cut off in Phase 1.
- With the infected portions removed, some trees will recover during the cool season as new growth occurs.
- In 2025, the City will assess which trees may require additional pruning, and which are not recovering adequately and will need to be replaced.
- The City has agreed to work more closely with our Landscaping department in the future when projects like this arise.
