Good Evening,
As temperatures continue to remain high throughout the week, be sure to keep cool and hydrated at all times and take extra precautions if you plan on participating in strenuous activities outdoors. We encourage you to take advantage of the city's cooling center at the Asian Youth Center (located at 100 Clary Avenue) if you do not have access to air conditioning.
In addition, please allow extra travel time during your commute while the Ramona Street and Del Mar Avenue bridges over the trench are closed until October 3. We'll post updates on the status of both projects on our
Twitter account and
website.
As always, please share this issue with your friends and family, and follow the city's social media accounts on
Facebook,
