PG&E in Pleasanton
Pleasanton residents who have been experiencing power outages in their neighborhoods will be able to speak directly with PG&E representatives about those and other concerns during an information event Monday evening.
“The event will give residents the chance to speak directly with PG&E representatives,” Pleasanton Mayor Jack Balch said in a social media post last month promoting the event. “Small-group stations will be available to meet with subject matter experts, ask one-on-one questions and receive information tailored to your neighborhood and specific concerns.”
The informational session will take place on Monday (Oct. 6) from 5:30-7 p.m. at the Pleasanton Senior Center, located at 5353 Sunol Blvd.
Highway 84 closure
Caltrans will be closing off Highway 84 in Niles Canyon for 10 hours each day this Saturday and Sunday to allow workers to conduct extensive maintenance on the road, according to the transportation agency.
The route will be closed both ways from 5 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day to allow Caltrans workers to safely remove vegetation, trim trees, remove litter, repair guardrails and conduct many other general maintenance as part of the so-called “Niles Canyon Extreme Maintenance Project”.
“This concentrated effort enhances safety and roadway reliability for motorists, pedestrians, and local communities,” Caltrans stated.
The closure will be subject to change depending on the weather conditions. Detours and signage will be in place and the agency said motorists should expect travel delays.
Tech Trek Fundraiser
The Livermore-Dublin-Pleasanton Branch of the American Association of University Women will be hosting a fundraiser at the Darcie Kent Estate Winery in Livermore next week to raise money for its 2025 Tech Trek Fundraiser — a week-long STEM camp for rising eighth grade girls.
According to the association, the camp aims to help young women realize their futures in STEM, while also having fun.
“This one-week summer camp is backed by AAUW’s research and designed to make STEM fields exciting and accessible to girls in middle school — the age when girls’ participation in these fields statistically drops,” according to the association.
The fundraiser will be set to begin at 5 p.m. at the winery, located at 7000 Tesla Road. Visit www.lpd-ca.aauw.net to reserve a spot.
