Congressman Aguilar presents a $1.4
million check to improve the Roosevelt
Bowl. The funds were included as a
Community Project (earmark) in the
Federal budget approved in December.
Funds will augment $600,000 allocated
last year by the Council to provide
significant upgrades to the Bowl.
While the improvements are expected to
take one year to complete, Parks and

their Summer Concert Series to the Bowl
in June.

Kudos to the Public Works crews for their hard work! For several weeks, crews
have been working shifts starting at 2:00 am. They report in January there were
580 CRM’s requests for potholes. 4,173 potholes have been filled and only 51
CRM’s remain open.
The high winds also resulted in debris,
palm fronds and some fallen trees.
Crews continue to clear these. Here is a
picture from yesterday of a fallen tree at
Lytle Creek Park.
Debris clean up is anticipated to
continue for two more weeks.
