The "Avoid the 12" DUI Task Force will conduct DUI roving patrols tonight in Laguna
Niguel, Aliso Viejo, Laguna Hills and Laguna Woods.

These multi-city DUI teams will target areas that have a high incidence of DUI-related arrests and collisions.

The goal of the program is to reduce the rate at which citizens are killed or injured in DUI- related collisions. Through implementation of these patrols, the Orange County Sheriff's Department hopes to significantly reduce deaths, injuries and property damage.

Funding for the program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The City is now accepting bids for projects that will help to extend the life of City streets.

The Proposition 1B projects call for placing new asphalt, striping and traffic loops, etc., in different locations in town. The project is estimated at roughly $250,000 to $300,000. Bids are due to City Hall at 12 Journey by 3 p.m. January 5.

A second project entails rehabilitating Pacific Park Drive from Cheyenne to Aliso Viejo Parkway. The work includes grinding existing asphalt pavement, installing traffic loops and making other improvements. The project is estimated at $400,000 to $450,000.
