Huntington Beach News

Huntington Beach Beaches:

I'd like to start this newsletter in Congratulating Matt and Patty Quilter of Costa Mesa on getting Married. Matt is a famous Surf Musician.

I'm wishing a very Happy Birthday to the following people. They are:
COLDWELL BANKER Tim Smith Group Realtor Cristi Ulrich, STAR REAL ESTATE HARBOUR HOMES Realtor Tami Bowden, Huntington Beach Resident Elizabeth Byrne, Retired Huntington Beach Public Works Employee John Von Holle, STAR REAL ESTATE Realtor Mark Galyean and NBCLA News Reporter Jennifer Bjorklund.

Many of The Huntington Beach Residents have been asking me what is going on at The Waterfront Hilton Beach Resort. They have noticed a Crane there working. It is due to an upgrade of The Building to an Eco Friendly Status. They are painting it.

Huntington Beach Police Chief Ken Small's Adminstrative Assitant Karin Reed asked me to mention this Item in this Newsletter:
The Huntington Beach Police and Fire Department who received a proclamation from the Seal Beach Police Chief at this previous Monday's Seal Beach City Council Meeting. Many agencies at all levels were honored and thanked for their assistance during the worst mass murder in the history of Orange County at the Salon Meritage.

Huntington Beach Public Works Employee Eric Charlonne asked me to Inform you of this Item:
The sidewalk and curb ramp concrete work continues along Edwards between Warner Avenue and Talbert Avenue. The work along the Edwards Frontage Road, Fallingwater, Armada and Vatcher should be completed by Monday 11/21/11. This work is to bring the City's sidewalks into compliance with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) to allow access for persons in wheelchairs or other disabilities. Later on, the contractor will come back to place what are called truncated domes, the little bumps made out of rubber, in the center of the curb ramps. These truncated domes are also part of the ADA requirements notifying persons with difficulties with vision a way to inform them they are entering an area where vehicles are present.

It was hoped that portions of the roadway work along Edwards would have started already, However, due to weather, availability of materials and our decision not to impact the roadway over the Thanksgiving weekend this work will now start in early December. Overall the work on both Delaware Street and Edwards Street are progressing fine and will be completed by mid February 2012.
