National Night Out

Most Tri-Valley residents still have time to register their neighborhoods for next month’s 43rd National Night Out, an annual event that aims to strengthen police-community relations through block parties visited by officers.

Neighborhoods are encouraged to register for the Aug. 4 event through the National Night Out organization at natw.org/registration. To receive a visit from their police departments, each neighborhood must register with their respective city.

While the Pleasanton Police Department has not announced a deadline, registration typically closes in late July so make sure to register soon. Livermore already closed its registration on July 7.

San Ramon will be closing its National Night out registration on Monday (July 20) and Danville will be closing registration the following day (July 21). Dublin will close its registration next Friday (July 24).

Highway 84 work 

As Caltrans continues its work on replacing the Arroyo de la Laguna Bridge, cyclists and pedestrians are reminded that a daytime shuttle is available for them to use in order to safely cross the bridge during construction.

According to the transportation agency, the project aims to replace the 87-year-old bridge with a modern one that features a wider, safer and more accessible roadway. Construction began in May.

The shuttle, which began its services on June 15, runs from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day until November. Caltrans will also continue its overnight closures between Main Street and Pleasanton Sunol Road in Sunol. Those overnight closures are scheduled between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. 

Caltrans said the overnight closures will last approximately four months.

Prospective candidates will also have a chance to ask questions and receive additional information as they consider running for one of the three seats.

No reservation is required to attend the event.
