Public Works
We officially have a detour road! The Manzanita Bridge replacement project is progressing nicely. Here's a photo of the first car to use the new detour road.
Features include temporary lights, signal systems, striping, k-rail, crash cushions, and signage.
Beginning on Friday, May 30th through October 15th traffic on Manzanita Drive between Camino Pablo and Acacia Drive will be detoured onto a one-lane temporary detour road and bridge.
Traffic will be controlled with temporary traffic signals at each end of the one-lane bridge and the posted speed limit for this detour road is 10 mph. Bicycles are allowed use of the detour road and bridge. Please expect up to 10 minute delays.
This detour bridge and detour road are needed as part of a construction project to replace the existing Manzanita Drive Bridge which will be demolished and replaced with a new bridge.

Police Activity
Orinda Police arrests included 2 arrests for D.U.I., 2 arrests for burglary, possession of stolen property, and violation of probation and a Warrant arrest for probation violation.
Several cases including a D.U.I., theft, burglary, probation violation, and a felon in possession of a handgun were filed with the DA this week by the Investigations Unit.
Chief Haggard was interviewed by Laurie Snyder, for an upcoming introduction article in the Lamorinda Weekly regarding his background, management style and short term plans. The Chief plans to attend the Orinda Unified School District (OUSD) leadership meeting later this month to meet the school principals and staff.
Chief Haggard is going to institute a new program (not named as of today) that is similar to a vacation house check, but designed for parents of teens or young adults who will be away leaving the child at home. The parents can call in advance of leaving to request PD either knock or just check to ensure a teen party is not happening or forming. Details of the program and the information required are still under development.
