South Park Drive in Tilden to close for 5 months to protect newts

Why did the newt cross the road? In the case of those that live in the East Bay hills, it’s so they can breed. And because the park district cares about its wild inhabitants, every year it closes the road in question to avoid the prospect of salamander carnage.

Letter: Vote “Yes” on Measure S: Affordable Rents in San Pablo Keep Our Communities Healthy

Many San Pablo residents are worried. Corporate landlords and policy decisions at the state and federal levels have tipped the scales against renters. With inflation and rent continuing to rise, renters in the city worry about keeping roofs over their heads, about their parents being able to age in place, or their kids staying in the same schools. As a lifelong resident and Council member of San Pablo, and as a national public health expert who has worked deeply with San Pablo residents, we know these worries are well founded, and what they mean for the health of San Pablo. We have seen families, neighbors, and constituents be forced to move far away from their loved ones because of rent increases and unjust evictions. Some have had to make the impossible choice between refilling a medical prescription, or paying their rent and keeping their home. Housing insecurity impacts the most vulnerable in this city: families targeted by ICE, seniors on fixed incomes, people with disabilities, working moms, and others who make up the 58% of San Pablo households who are renters.

Letter: Antioch District 4 Should Avoid Amateur Hour and Re-Elect Monica Wilson

The following Letter to the Editor was submitted by Warren Lutz in support of Monica Wilson for Antioch City Council District 4. The City of Antioch will face difficult budget decisions over the next several years. The people voters choose to serve on the city council not only need to know how the city’s finances work, but how to protect critical services and resources for Antioch residents, especially the most vulnerable in our community. They also need to know how to create policy, collaborate, and build consensus among a frequently divided council.

The Wire: Dog attacks; county Flock contract; 8th & Harrison encampment ruling

Heads up: We sometimes link to sites that limit access to non-subscribers. In a 2-1 decision, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a federal judge’s orders that the city can continue removing homeless people from the encampment at Eighth and Harrison streets but must provide them with accommodations, such as a new tent if an old one is destroyed, and ruled that disability accommodation requirements should remain in place for now.
