- As part of Public Services’ annual palm pruning program, a City contractor will be pruning palms throughout Coronado. Palm fruiting and hanging fronds are a common concern of residents. Crews began work in the Cays and is now on the east side of Orange Avenue. From there, they will start working on the west side Orange and finish by mid-December. The work will be on a street-by-street basis so no trees are missed. “No Parking” signs can also appear on short notice when the contractor has been able to get ahead of schedule. The City asks for cooperation as soon as the signs are set up. Two crews from West Coast Arborist in white and yellow trucks will be working in parkways and parks.
- Commission Vacancies: There are currently four vacancies, one on the Bicycle Advisory Committee, one on the Transportation Commission, and two on the Cultural Arts Commission. The City has many volunteer opportunities for residents interested in serving on any of its boards, commission and committees. See notice below for details.
- Noise Alerts: The Hotel del Coronado has requested a permit for a fireworks show tomorrow, October 22, at 6:45 p.m. The display will last approximately five minutes and be set up in a cordoned-off site on the beach west of the hotel.
