Clean Streets & Clean Air
Wednesday, 25 January 2012
Community volunteers who work hard to move our city forward rarely get the positive news coverage that their efforts deserve. That is why I was so pleased to read the recent article about our "Clean Streets" volunteers that pick up litter in the California Heights and Bixby Knolls area every Thursday morning. To the members of Clean Streets and all the other volunteers who sacrifice their time and energy to make this a better community across the district, thank you--your efforts are making a difference.
Green Lights

The 7th District is getting a special gift this year. LED street lights, which use less energy and save the taxpayers money, will be installed as part of a pilot program in the area around Silverado Park. This is the kind of green infrastructure that is both environmentally and fiscally sound. I will continue to explore these opportunities for implementation in the 7th District and beyond.

Last week, I talked to a resident about a quality of life issue that I get asked across the district -- tree trimming. He mentioned an overgrown street tree that had been neglected for years, resulting in damage to his car from falling limbs. "Are we going to wait until somebody gets hurt to address this?," he asked.
