Westwood Neighborhood Rehabilitation Project Phase I CompleteThe first phase of our Westwood Neighborhood Rehabilitation Project is complete! Phase One included Kilburn Avenue, Chelsea Avenue, Bryan Avenue, Bremen Court, and Bancroft Court. This wonderful neighborhood dates back to the 1940's, and is one of Napa's earliest subdivisions. We are so excited to have completed these improvements for this neighborhood community: streets repaved, sidewalks and gutters repaired, pedestrian and bicycle travel ways redone - all so our community can enjoy the neighborhood while walking, biking or driving. Look for more improvements over the next two years in the Westwood area when we begin Phase Two! Thanks to everyone for your patience!

Fixing Our RoadsOne Pothole at a TimeThank you, residents, who have helped in our efforts to fix potholes around town! By alerting us to potholes in your neighborhood, our crews are able to identify problem areas and get those potholes fixed. You may not always see the crews, because as you can see in the photo, they are up and at it pretty early!
Remember – if you see a pothole, you can report it via our online Service Center: www.cityofnapa.org/ServiceCenter - just let us know the pothole location by including the street name, an address or use the map!

Napa Police Department Community Service OfficersTraining UnderwayMartha Enriquez, Manuel Martinez, and Omar Delgadillo, Napa PD’s new Community Service Officers, are currently in training and last Thursday was chemical agent exposure day! All were willing to be exposed and see the effects of the "OC" spray first hand. They were good sports and recovered well and even allowed PD to share the video on Facebook to give the community an idea of the training they go through for this important job.

Napa Fire's Automated CPR Device - LUCASNapa Fire now has an automated CPR (LUCAS) device on all primary apparatus. This will provide a better service for all our citizens and reduce the time in which it takes to get one of these potentially life-saving devices on scene. The Napa Valley Register did a great article on the new devices - check it out!
Early bystander hands-only CPR is still key in most positive outcomes. To schedule a hands-only CPR lesson with the fire department, email- [email protected]. |

Recycling, Landfill, or Compost CartsPlacement RemindersHere are a few tips for your recycling, landfill or compost carts when putting them out on the street for pickup:
1. Carts should not obstruct bike lanes or sidewalks.
2. Place at least 2 feet away from other carts and 4–6 feet from other objects (e.g. cars, trees).
3. All items must be placed in the cart.
4. When your cart is full, set it out by 6AM on your service day.
5. Lid opening should face the street.
6. Carts should be removed from the curb as soon as possible after service to help keep streets, bike lanes and sidewalks clear and unimpeded.
